Overall Satisfaction with Buffer

I used Buffer to help automatically schedule social media posts on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus when Google Plus was still a thing. It was used by me for a sole proprietorship business client. It helped us put consistent content out of social media without having to babysit social media every day. We can frontload the content by the week.

Pros

  • Schedule multiple platforms at once
  • Offers multiple platforms to choose from
  • Can schedule across time zones

Cons

  • Translation of links need works sometimes the images if an article will not translate to a post when it buffers
There is better software out there.
Sprout Social buffers content for accurately then Buffer

Do you think Buffer delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Buffer's feature set?

No

Did Buffer live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Buffer go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Buffer again?

No

Might not be the best as a company grows and scales and yoh want advanced analytics and sometimes a post would fail to Buffer due to website error or it won't translate out well when buffered
