I love social media planning with Zoho!
Zoho Social came into play to help with social media management. I use it mainly to schedule and pre-plan posts. This allows me to spend one long period of time to prepare and not have to worry about scheduling them on the fly and if I remember or not. It has created a sense of organization.
- Scheduling
- Ease to add pictures/links
- Ease to post on multiple platforms
- They can add reposting of the same post with future times.
- Reporting of success to see which ones to use again.
- Ability to add pictures if the link will show up without one.

Zoho Social - The Social Media Management App You Haven't Tried... But Need Too Now
I use Zoho Social as my main tool to monitor my company and brand across the major social media channels. The ability to create saved searches in Twitter streams, in particular, helps us to source leads and business opportunities. Having one consolidated dashboard to see the status and health of my overall social networks is extremely efficient and useful. The biggest advantage in my mind, is being to able to take action and directly respond to people on the relevant social media channel all from within the Zoho platform itself.
- Dashboard - command center for all your social media accounts in one place. Great info and statistics at a glance.
- Interaction - Zoho Social allows you to interact with people directly in real time, on any of the connected networks without having to login to that specific social media site. This saves time and allows you to really get into a good flow of interacting on social.
- Multiple Brands - if you have multiple businesses, different locations, or manage accounts for clients, Zoho Social provides a really great way to monitor, manage, and interact, all from one login, for all of them. Very nice functionality.
- If they had the functionality to curate and post content like Buffer does from RSS feeds it'd be amazing.
- On occasion their support can take some time to get to you - however, they have always resolved my issues.
- If Zoho Social posting UI was a little more streamlined, I would be inclined to perhaps consider moving all my social media management and marketing to them.
- Also, I think they need easier integration with some third party services.

Good Social Media management, but not crazy about the UI
If you're serious about using social media as a marketing medium, then you have to use a tool to keep the stuff flowing into Instagram and Twitter and Facebook. It is impossible to have a life and keep your social media accounts up to date without one. I needed a tool to promote my business and tried Zoho, among many others.
- It connects well with most of the important social media accounts.
- It manages scheduling well.
- It automates posting well.
- Of all the ones I tried, I thought the UI for Zoho was the worst. I recognize that this is strictly a matter of preference. But I really didn't care for the Zoho UI/UX.

Easy social media management
We use Zoho Social in our organization for social media management. It is used by our marketing team. We plan all our social media posts in advance. So all our team [members] can create draft ideas and show them to other team members in Zoho Social. After that, we can choose the best post ideas and schedule them to be posted automatically. No need to do it manually.
So, Zoho Social gives us freedom and convenience.
So, Zoho Social gives us freedom and convenience.
- Zoho Social is best for planning and scheduling social media posts.
- Also, it is perfect for collaboration with a marketing team for social media posts.
- Would recommend it for social media monitoring, too. With Zoho Social you can easily track your brand mentions in social media.
- No iPad app version.
- Just 5 main social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus and Instagram).

Zoho is the way to go!
We use Zoho Social to manage all of our social media posts across multiple platforms and to gather analytics. Our whole organization uses it. We were looking for software that is easy to use with a user-friendly dashboard and we found it in Zoho Social. The one click share feature saves our company time and removes the hassle of logging in to multiple sites.
- You can get a snapshot in real time of your social media stats all in one place. This is our FAVORITE feature!
- You can post to multiple social media sites with just one click. This is a huge time saver!
- You can view all of your social activity in one dashboard. The design is beautiful and very easy to navigate.
- I can't think of one thing I would change about Zoho Social. I love it that much!
We currently use Zoho Social to manage the accounts of three clients and our own. We are managing all of their social media accounts, more specifically Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LInkedIn and Google Plus, all of which Zoho Social manages. Since we are a small organization, it is being used across our entire organization. The reason we particularly like Zoho Social is that it gives us a quick gauge on how we are engaging across all of the social platforms. For example, we are able to see very quickly any brand interactions and what type of media is working for our clients.
- The social analytics reports are very easy to read and give you an idea of how you are trending across your social platforms. It is also great to see which posts are engaging your audience the most with just a glance.
- The User Interface is very easy to navigate. You simply click on what you desire to look at on the left and it is there! Some platforms have so much going on that it is difficult to navigate through quickly. If you are handling a lot of accounts, Zoho Social makes it easy to measure your progress with each one because of its easy User Interface.
- I do like the Smart Q for automatic scheduling but it is also one of the weaknesses of Zoho Social.
- The Smart Q sometimes schedules posts too far in advance. I question the accuracy of the Smart Q because it does not seem to differentiate based on social network. Based on their recommendations, for the maximum engagement, I sometimes have to have two posts scheduled to go out at the same time.
- I am not quite sure about their collaborate tool. I am thinking that it is for teams to discuss and brainstorm social strategies and relationships.
- I do not find my Twitter posts being updated too often in the recent posts section. When I measure the Zoho Social reports against other vendor reports, some of the data seems to be missing. It is not within the reports themselves, but rather in their quick glance at recent posts. Again, I only found this happening in the Twitter Feed.
I have a small retail business, I sell both online and in-person. I searched and tried many different platforms for my social media marketing, some were better than others but Zoho Social offered me everything that I needed to schedule, maintain and track my social media accounts at a very affordable price point, which when you're a small business owner every penny counts. Zoho offers an easy to use platform, a valuable service, reliability and the availability to cross it into other platforms. It was the best all around solution for my company.
- Affordable Solutions for Social Marketing.
- Reliability & Stability - Their platform works flawlessly and I've never had an issue with any downtime. Very stable & reliable.
- Ease of Use - Very important to have a platform that does not require an intense learning curve. Their platform is straightforward, easy to navigate and use.
- Would definitely like to see Pinterest integrated into the platform

Great social media management tool
We are a startup nonprofit of patients with a rare disease. The Zoho social app has allowed us to manage our social media presence from [one] location along with analytics too. Since we are a startup, we don't have a lot of funding yet, so being able to use the app for free at a basic level will allow us to grow into using it more.
- The ease of selecting the social media networks you want to post to.
- It integrates with your Zoho main account so you can easily switch between their different services.
- The interface is really nice to use.
- It would be nice if they would support some other networks like Pinterest, etc.
- Give more functionality to the free program that is available in Pro if you use other services of theirs.
- Provide extra services to nonprofits for free until they can get off the ground.

Great price with some great features
It seems that these days you need to post to all social media platforms and zoho social makes that task a lot simpler. We are now using zoho social across the company to help keep all of our social profiles (including the long forgotten but seemingly needed Google Plus).
- Reporting - a list showing your posts and current activity is brilliant. All others seem to only show you how the post has performed since you used the software while Zoho can do this retrospectively.
- Instagram integration as standard. Not a paid add-on. Brilliant.
- Could really do with supporting more brands on the basic paid plan. This is a useful tool for most businesses who have multiple social media profiles and not everyone who uses them are a rising social media star who uses this as their main tool.

Really Enjoying Zoho Social.
I have used Zoho Social for my business (photography) as well as a retreat I host and also for my husband's real estate business. It enables me to schedule social media posts for three different businesses simultaneously targeted at the best times, for the best results. Our web traffic and click throughs have greatly increased since we started using Zoho Social.
- Zoho allows you to manage mutiple business accounts easily
- One platform for multiple social media outlets
- Uses proven times when your audience is online or has responded
- Does not automatically post to Instagram
- If you could boost posts from Zoho for Facebook that would be beneficial
- Better stats page to see engagement on multiple platforms

Zoho Social Gives B2B A Boost
I enjoy how everything is contained in a single dashboard. We schedule publications and are able to adjust the schedules according to which social network we choose. The platform is updated for continuous improvement. Support is always able to assist quickly and very carefully. It allows us to really hone in on our different audiences on each platform. We are big fans of how Zoho puts the data front and center.
- Scheduling a post on three major social networks
- Data focus
- SmartQ Feature
- Share to LinkedIn and FB groups
- Include Instagram
- Allow for more than one image per post

My Zoho Review - Listen Up
We are using zoho social across the organization and found that there are far too many intranet solutions out there that are far too expensive. zoho social fits the bill.
- Branding is great
- Connections to salespeople are great
- Real-time updates are perfect
- I haven't really found any.

Best small business social media publisher
I use Zoho social on a daily basis for my own business as well as recommending it as a solution for other companies. I have found the setup and information it provides more valuable than Buffer which was my preferred platform. The ability to see how the brand is performing gives easy to read analytics and the scheduler is probably my favourite feature with the ability to use SmartQ based on your audience.
- SmartQ Scheduling
- Analytics
- Team Collaboration
- Ability to manage more than one brand
- Including the ability to design social media posts within the application would make this a phenomenal program (such as PromoRepublic).
- In the case of a new social media account, SmartQ doesn't always have enough information, would be useful to combine this feature with regular scheduling.
- Price Point, compare to other platforms is a little high.

Simple, Fast and Very Professional
I started using this tool, looking for organization and fluency when making posts. I love the idea of unifying everything under a single desk. It's excellent to schedule publications, you can even adapt the schedules according to the social network. It's regularly updated for continuous improvement. Any errors that have been presented to me - support is always able to assist quickly and very carefully.
- Schedule posts
- More popular social networks
- SmartQ feature
- Share new posts on Facebook groups
- Better Instagram posts (call to action)
- Polls on Twitter
- More than 1 image on post

Great value for the money
I use Zoho Social to manage my own brand. I think Zoho is a good alternative to some more expensive solutions. It has some basic features like posting to social networks, but also some more advanced, like brand monitoring, and mentions. You cannot use a software you don't trust for tracking your clients' mentions. In these terms, I trust Zoho. Zoho also provides you with a nice feedback with well illustrated reports. Nice piece of software, overall.
- Brand mentions
- Posting to social networks
- Reporting
- Best times to post
- Apps for facebook
- Commenting in reports

Zoho Social--I love it!
Zoho Social is very user friendly. There is nothing to download to start....you can begin using it immediately after signing up. It's easy to use without having to go through a lot of detailed instructions. The interface is simple to understand and put to work for you.
I use Zoho Social to organize and manage my social media promotions across major social media platforms. My favorite feature is the bulk scheduler so I can schedule a month in advance and stay on top of product promotions. It's easy to upload a spreadsheet and I use multiple ones to stay organized.

- The bulk scheduler is the key component that keeps me coming back.
- Easy to use and very quick to set up to get working.
- Customer service is on the ball with any questions or complaints.
- The only thing I'd like to see is a special monthly pricing for the bulk scheduling feature itself. Other companies offer such for $4.99 a month and I'd like to see that with Zoho Social

Zoho Zaved my Zocial Prezenze!
Zoho Social is great! It has seriously helped me streamline my social media presence and continue growing not only my following but revenue as well. I'm able to schedule and view all my posts in one place making it so much easier. I have seen current profiles increase and brand new profiles absolutely take off. I'm able to show my management exact numbers and results of our media presence and I'm also able to show them what is working best where and why it's working best. I absolutely love this software and will be purchasing the full version. I won't ever run another company without it.
- It tracks the reports very well. It gives me a precise layout for my management to overview monthly or weekly.
- The post scheduling is great and the fact that you show the limitations of each media on one post (number of words for Twitter, only showing thumbnails on LinkedIn).
- Linking other media was really easy as well.
- I need more things under Google+.
- Add more users to the basic plan.
- Include tips during initial use.
