Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why.

Weird Sisters Kitchen is a food blog that is in the start-up phase. Being an online business, getting my initial social media campaigns up and running has been critical. Zoho's simple interface made the process fast and easy. I've been able to launch my preview campaign across multiple platforms from one central interface. That has made my life much easier! Zoho's calendar tool helps me to keep straight and maintain multiple campaigns at once. It really is the marriage of easy and powerful, just what I needed to get started!
- The audience and engagement stats for each platform can be viewed on a single page. This lets me easily see where my messages are gaining an audience and where they're lagging.
- The draft posts feature means I can save my work in progress. That's handy since I'm a one-woman show at this point, and interruptions are common. I can take calls, accidentally navigate away from the Zoho page, and not lose my work.
- Zoho allows be to engage with my social contacts through the interface. So I can see my outgoing posts and incoming messages in the same place. It's exactly what a good social media management tool should do.
- Zoho sometimes has trouble with picture sizes. Sometimes it will reject an image as the wrong size for Instagram or Twitter that fits the parameters those social media platforms recommend. I've found the problem is usually resolution or file size, not the actual picture size. Zoho is a little unclear about that.

I've dived DEEP into the world of online systems that help me grow my business and my personal brand. I don't know if there's anything I've done more research on!!
When it comes to building an online presence, I've been looking or a tool that's intuitive, helps me schedule posts in advance (and repeat if necessary!) and allows me to post to several channels. Zoho Social is this AND MORE!
Not only does it meet all my criteria, but it also allows you to interact across all your platforms from one dashboard. And it's one of the best priced platforms I've found.
This is a real game changer! If you've been looking for a social media software that makes your life easier and makes you excited to get visible online, then you'd be hard-pressed to beat this.
I really sound like their sales person, but honestly, I'm just really excited by what they've created! It ticks all the boxes and more. They have a free trial which is really worth checking out

- Multiple social channel posting
- Scheduling and repurposing posts
- Interaction across channels
- Seeing past posts in calendar view would be great

We're currently using Zoho Social to aid in social media planning and automation.The analytics and reporting are robust and have absolutely filled a void that was missing within our marketing department. Automating our marketing campaigns through Zoho Social has really allowed us to be more efficient in maintaining cohesive brand identity across multiple networks. Because of this we've seen an increase in engagement and exposure given the consistency and timeliness of posts.
- Reporting
- Automation
- Great UX
- Easy to learn and use
- Would love to be able to see previously posted content via calendar view

We use Zoho to help plan and schedule social media posts on Twitter and Linked in for content marketing purposes, and to promote awareness of issues we are passionate about. So far we have enjoyed using the product; it is easy to use, navigation is straightforward, editing and rescheduling are simple tasks, and we get fairly accurate analytics on the Home page.
- Offering scheduling advice
- Alerting users to issues (i.e., disconnected accounts)
- Presenting useful analytics from all platforms
- "Manually post to Instagram" could be tweaked for a crop/stretch feature to remove this issue
- Twitter post failures have been more frequent; not sure if this is due to Zoho or Twitter

As with all companies, especially small businesses and nonprofits, we need to streamline the amount of time we spend marketing and managing social media, and Zoho Social is invaluable. It allows for posting future and automatic repeat posts and monitoring social networks to track the online conversation.
- Since switching from two other social media cross-channel platforms to Zoho Social, the efficiency of the process has been amazing, saving time and energy we spend working with the projects we manage.
- Zoho Social helps us connect faster and more interactively with our membership and the public.
- Zoho Social helps us monitor conversations across multiple social media channels to stay connected and respond faster.
- There are many social media channels, and they are popping up fast. However, Discord has been around for a long time and we haven't been able to integrate that social platform into Zoho Social. We manage a few thousand members on Discord and would love to integrate it into Zoho Social.
- The same applies to monitoring the social media channels beyond the "big platforms."
We use Zoho Social to organize our weekly posting plan. It saves us a lot of time and allows us to focus our resources on other tasks. The post scheduling function and the calendar viewing method is probably one of the best features of this service. We wholeheartedly recommend this solution in any marketing department.
- Post scheduling.
- Audience reports.
- Activity monitoring feature.
- The draft function disappears after the post becomes published. I wish it had been saved for later use.
- A photo and video file manager would be very useful.

We have been using Zoho for the last two months and it has been revolutionary in hour we post. We have three brands within the organisation each with multiple social media accounts so to be able to forward plan and schedule posts save us so much time. Really does free the team up to focus on other areas of our business as it used to take hours.
It has one of the main advantages against some of the more expensive options out there that it posts to LinkedIn company pages; LinkedIn personal accounts; Instagram; Twitter; as well as Google Business.

- Posting to multiple social media accounts.
- Google Business.
- Brand health feedback.
- Image re-sizing is automatic on the iPhone app but has to be done manually on the website app. Very frustrating when using my laptop.
I am a contract social media manager using Zoho Social to plan/schedule/monitor social media content for other businesses. I have recommended Zoho Social to my business partners to assist in their account management as well. It simplifies the scheduling process, particularly the ability to pre-schedule on LinkedIn. I enjoyed using Facebook Creator Studio in the past for Facebook and Instagram, but this takes the extra work out of scheduling separately on Twitter and scheduling a day of posts on LinkedIn. An added bonus is seeing analytics, post performance, using customIQ to post based on historical engagement trends, and more.
- Intuitive design--it's simple to learn and implement
- Bulk scheduling and calendar view are especially helpful
- Zoho has a plethora of other solutions-based systems, and I love having one login for everything
- Preset preference for whether you want bit.ly or prefer the original link

Our marketing team currently uses Zoho Social for scheduling social media posts on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, as well as for obtaining performance reports on our social media channels. We use the reports to analyse our posts' engagement, reach, etc. so that we can learn and improve our social media strategy.
- Cross-posting on different social media platforms.
- Creating detailed performance reports that are easy to read and understand.
- Very intuitive and easy-to-use user interface.
- Friendly and quick online customer support.
- Allows to schedule posts months in advance.
- Some limited posting functionalities, e.g. can only schedule a post with 4 photos for Facebook and LinkedIn, and only with 1 photo for Instagram.
- Cannot resize videos or images that do not fit the social media platform's requirements on Zoho. For example, if your video is over 1 minute, you need to trim it outside of Zoho, otherwise Zoho will not allow you to post.
- Some of the data in the different reports seems contradictory; there are no explanations of how the metrics were collated, so there is no way to understand why the data sometimes does not match.
I use it to keep track of all our social media interactions. To measure and compare results with analytics, it's the best tool out there, yes I've tried them too, recommended 100%. The best thing is that if you have a small startup you can use it no problem, upgrade when you grow.
- Ease of use.
- Good user interface.
- Integrations of all social networks works fine.
- Mobile version can have more features.
- Group some functionalities in order to have just the results you want to see.
- Enable multi brand on the free version. It's a must to jump into a paid plan.

I'm a huge fan of using Zoho Social for all social media scheduling for Aux Collaborative. It is easy to use and train others to use the platform when I am unable to schedule posts. Additionally, the support team has been great in reaching out and communicating with me if I have any issues.
- Easy to learn.
- Great graphics.
- Affordable.
- None.
I use Zoho [Social] to help manage social media for about 7 brands and roughly 20 different profiles.
- Scheduling Social Media Posts
- Responding to inbox messages and reviews
- Analytics
- Allow more than one google account added to a brand for brands with multiple locations

I am using Zoho Social for all of my company's social media marketing campaigns. We are a small, newly-founded company so I am wearing lots of hats. Zoho Social has helped me be more consistent and organized as I plan our campaigns and get them scheduled, making the campaigns more strategic and effective. It is also saving me tons of time!
- Planning content in advance.
- Saving time.
- Organizing and timing content release appropriately.
- Would like to be able to post multiple photos in one Instagram post.
I'm the Chief Executive Dreamer and co-founder at Explore ProTech Entrepreneurial Haven. I've been using Zoho Social on the Free Trial Version for the past 30 days. I have experience with many different social marketing platforms and Zoho compares really well. I love it. It's user-friendly and gives me all the different reports I need in order to be able to run successful social marketing campaigns. Absolutely in love with the product.
- Provides reports with insightful insights that helps me to make the best decisions regarding past and future campaigns.
- Easily schedule posts on all platforms.
- Suggests best times for posts to be scheduled to attract maximum engagement.
- Would be great if I could see personalized suggestions on how to improve my social media marketing.
- Would be great if there was even more lead generation support.
- Would be great if there were even more work I could do from my side in order to gain further free trial periods.

As a small business owner, running social media accounts can be very time consuming. And especially now during the pandemic, I was not willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a "marketing expert" to be posting on my behalf. Zoho Social was a game changer for me. I can now pick all my posts for the entire week and schedule them by date and by platform. After that, I can just keep working during the week and watch the engagement levels. It makes me wonder how profitable these "marketing firms" are when all it takes is a few minutes and the cost is minimal!
- Ability to schedule your posts.
- Ability to select which post goes to which platform.
- Dashboard.
- Ease to use and intuitive.
- Dashboard: should be able to click on the stats and see the source/breakdown.
- Post metrics: don't seem to be synchronizing correctly with the social platform (e.g., Zoho Social shows 1 like when I had a whole lot more).
- Lead Generation: currently available for Facebook only, would like to see other platforms as well.

- Provide social streams comparable to more expensive services like Hootsuite.
- Schedule posts.
- Provide simple metrics.
- Better filter of discussions around topics.

- Really easy to use!
- Directly reply to comments and messages from Zoho Social.

We are using Zoho Social to manage our social media in the UK. It is only being used in our UK office at the moment as the product is not accessible in China. The main benefit for me would be the reporting features in Zoho Social. This allows me to accurately track data across different platforms.
- Content Scheduling
- Data reporting
- Platform integration
- Customer service
- Product demonstration
- Social listening

I use Zoho Social to help me integrate all my social media postings and to post on a variety of social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Skype. It is super easy to use, and most of all, I love it because everything is in one place. This means I don't have to keep jumping between social media platforms, which can be really time-consuming. Finally, I have Zoho Social integrated with my Zoho CRM, which means I can feed any relevant social media contacts into my CRM so I am able to start to connect and build great relationships.
- It is great for multiple postings across social media platforms.
- It lets me see all my post likes/comments in one place.
- It means I don't have to keep jumping across platforms.
- Better CRM integration with Linked.
- Easier explanation and video on more complex multiple postings would be helpful.
Since suffering staff shortages because of Covid it was essential to find a social app which was inexpensive, easy to use and easy to integrate. Having tried several alternatives, we settled on Zoho and it does not disappoint.
- Scheduling.
- Editing.
- Customer support.
- Add "first comment" to Instagram.

We use Zoho Social to manage social media marketing. We needed a system where we could manage our social media in an effective and efficient manner. We use it both to schedule posts and engage with people across various social media platforms. It provides us with tools to analyze our use and the impact, but we haven't really experimented with those yet.
- Schedule social media posts.
- Conduct Twitter searches.
- Allow team communication within the app.
- Searching user profiles (specifically Twitter) .... Should the user have a post you want to view that isn't recent, and post often, you will have a doozy of a time trying to scroll and access the post on their profile.

This is a great product. The ability to schedule posts and have this integrate seamlessly with Facebook. Instagram, Twitter, etc is invaluable. Other tools struggle with Facebook pages but this works really well. We have no complaints about this product and highly recommend it to anyone/company/academic institute who are looking to save a ton of time and take the step up.
- Ease of use
- Powerful
- Integrates seamlessly
- Free scheduling

We use the entire Zoho suite at our company and I just can't stop thinking to myself how amazing the whole thing is. From sales management to document handling, and now with Zoho Social we can monitor our social networks and get leads at the same time. It is amazing.
- Gathering leads - it does the legwork for you.
- Organization - it keeps it in the already great format of Zoho CRM.
- Speed - it is fast and efficient.
- Integration with other aspects of Zoho. You need to create new accounts with every app they have.
- More social networks. It would be nice to see some added.
- Custom posts for Facebook and Twitter would be nice.
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
It's easy to use and looking forward to discovering all the reports to assist in growing the business further. Takes care of scheduling to allow time to focus on other aspects of the business.

- Insights and data
- Reviewing success
- Maybe reducing emailing after the post is live, instead of sending review of the post
