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

Multi site publishing,Can't think of anything,8,1,We are able to keep our social media updated, while working only a few hours a week on it.,Hootsuite FreeSrikanth AcharyaGood Social Media management, but not crazy about the UI2017-11-13T18:08:39.103ZIf 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.,5,1,I ended up going with a different social media manager product, mostly because of the UI and the cost.,Buffer and Hootsuite FreeJack Edward HealdZoho Social - The Social Media Management App You Haven't Tried... But Need Too Now2017-11-10T16:24:17.894ZI 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.,8,1,Deploying Zoho Social in my business along with a few other apps has reduced the time it takes for us to manage our social media presence from more than 10 hours per week, down to 2-3 at most.
Zoho Social is significantly less expensive than many other options we considered. We reduced our expenditure on social media tools by 40% consolidating several down into Zoho Social.
I feel more at ease and confident that myself or my team can get a clear picture of what's going on with our brand on social media pretty much anytime.,Hootsuite Pro, Sprout Social and MavSocial,Buffer, PromoRepublic, PipedriveVerified UserEasy social media management2017-02-06T20:14:10.569ZWe 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.,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).,9,5,Convenience for team collaboration
Freedom from manual social media posting
Easy social monitoringDonatas BubinasZoho is the way to go!2016-11-07T17:55:22.225ZWe 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!,10,Zoho Social has had a positive impact on our ROI. We use the analytics to guide us in our social media decisions, specifically where and when to spend our social budget. The analytics take out the guess work of what content works and what doesn't. We have a better understanding of our followers and what content they like to see from us.,,Woopra, Google Analytics, Zoho CRM, MailChimp, Google Drive, WixCindy RomanowskiZoho Social-The Social Media Management Platform that has it all figured out2016-11-01T16:47:15.508ZWe 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.,8,The fact that Zoho Social is so affordable with so many features has allowed us to increase our margins when managing clients.
We do not have hard numbers for ROI as of yet, but it has allowed us to act quickly when adjusting our strategies.
They do allow you enough time to test drive their platform before making a commitment which is one thing that we really like. Because of this we will most likely keep the platform long term.
We are also looking at integrating it into their other services so that we can have a fluid flow from social to crm to PM, which is a positive ROI in terms of efficiency,AgoraPulse, Hootsuite Pro and Sendible,ActiveCampaign, Hootsuite ProFranklin D Rivera IIEase of Use, Affordability & Function Zoho was the clear winner for me2017-01-06T16:41:30.822ZI 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,10,Zoho has given me a positive return on investment. It's worth every penny.,,Evernote, Zoho Creator, Square POSStarr PriceGreat social media management tool2017-01-04T21:44:45.996ZWe 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.,10,We haven't been around very long so this is hard to answer. We are getting a steady increase of likes and support group members from seeing us online, so I believe that is proof of some ROI.,,Zoho FormsMichael HrehorGreat price with some great features2017-01-03T22:35:20.638ZIt 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.,9,For us, it wasn't about ROI but rather simplifying the numerous social media accounts we have.,Hootsuite Pro, Sprout Social and BufferDanny O'NeillReally Enjoying Zoho Social.2016-12-29T17:58:39.229ZI 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.

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.

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.
