Overall Satisfaction with TweetDeck

I currently use TweetDeck to monitor important twitter accounts, users and topics for my organization and our clients. I am the only individual using TweetDeck within this capacity. TweetDeck provides instantaneous updates and pop-ups alerting me to important Twitter updates.
  • Has pop-up notifications for Twitter
  • Provides ability to monitor searches
  • Provides ability to monitor mentions of accounts
  • Provides ability to monitor Twitter lists
  • TweetDeck is limited to Twitter use only, making it less robust than other social media monitoring applications
  • Tweetdeck is free
  • Increased response time on Twitter
I use Hootsuite Enterprise currently to manage our client's social media accounts, and only use TweetDeck for top-priority issues that I want to make sure I see pop-up notifications for. Hootsuite Enterprise allows scheduling across many different channels and accounts and is great for managing accounts across different individuals and teams.
I'll continue to use TweetDeck as a back-up application as it is free, but it is unlikely to ever be my primary application for social media management.
TweetDeck is great on a personal level for monitoring a few Twitter streams, accounts, and lists; however, it is not going to be robust enough for a full social media management solution.
