Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite

We used it to manage social media scheduling on our marketing team. It was used just by a few members of our marketing team in America and Europe. It helped us manage our different social profiles and post consistently across channels. It also helped us internationalize English-language posts.
  • Allowing multiple team members for collaboration across the team.
  • Ability to see mentions as well as scheduled posts so you can easily engage and reshare.
  • Pricing: a bit overpriced for what is offered. Limited team seats available.
  • Overall, the UX is clunky and not intuitive. Freezes a lot.
  • No easy way to repost successful content across channels without reuploading and rescheduling.
8 - Marketing team members.
  • Kept us organized.
  • Got us to post more content, bringing more traffic to our site.
  • Buffer
Buffer is a lot more robust and upscale. We switched to Buffer from Hootsuite
If you need a cheap option, their free option is basic but gets the job done. If you want upscale social media management, opt for a tool like Buffer instead that has a much more robust system and a better user interface.
