Vista Social is the best

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Vista Social to more easily schedule a lot of videos across multiple platforms - Instagram, Facebook & YouTube - it's been an amazing tool so far, easily one of the best investments we've made.

Vista Social helps us save a massive amount of time in working towards meeting our marketing goals - we've tried other platforms but only Vista Social has been able to stand out and overdeliver.

Pros

  • Vista Social allows us to schedule a lot of content which would otherwise be near impossible to do consistently.
  • With Vista Social we are able to be present on multiple social media channels without burning out.
  • With Vista Social we are able to view messages from different platforms and respond accordingly.

Cons

  • From my perspective, Vista Social has been great and they have been able to manage any issues we've ever had - and they are continually improving which is amazing.
  • Nothing else that I am aware of - would need to ask my team
  • Nothing else to say, my team would know more

Return on Investment

  • The relief Vista Social has brought about is the biggest positive impact and we couldn't ask for more. We've tried other platforms and have been frustrated by the limitations/restrictions - being able to post videos heavily, across multiple platforms, with such a set amount of time actually scheduling the posts has been a game changer.

Highly recommend for B2B Marketing Teams looking to scale with employee advocacy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I needed a tool specifically for LinkedIn as the priority that could do several things - 1) Manage content for my own business. 2) Manage content on behalf of our clients. 3) Be a tool I could recommend for my clients to manage their company page and also employee advocacy. Vista Social can do all three and offers highly competitive plans. What I was most impressed with is the level of support and also the onboarding. Real people are available to help you through every step, although I would say set-up is pretty easy.

Pros

  • Reporting is great
  • I love that it pulls in content that was published directly on the platform so you can still track.
  • Easy to connect the different platforms.

Cons

  • Shame connections is not available in a lower level plan. I don't want to have to connect using my clients LinkedIn login details to be able to use the platform.

Return on Investment

  • This will have a positive impact as it will scale with my business and also for my clients.
  • This will save hours on reporting.
