Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite
I currently use Hootsuite to schedule social media content for my personal business as a fitness instructor. I have also used in publishing content for my work at the university. Hootsuite is very intuitive and was extremely easy to use on the desktop and mobile app. I have only used the free version. In my previous position in another department, I used Sprout Social.
- Mobile App is very intuitive
- Easy to schedule content
- It is very simple to add social media accounts
- The analytics are not as smooth and intuitive. It is certainly better than previous versions.
- The reports need to have clearer titles and filter items.
- The analytics screen tabs need to be smaller in size.
1 - It is my personal business and I am the sole user. I use Hootsuite to promote my fitness classes taught at several locations.
- It saves time and money by manually publishing information.
- Schedule content weeks in advance.
- The free version is great for a small business.
- For more detailed reporting/analytics, the premium version should be purchased.
Sprout Social is the cream of the crop for social media analytics. For business with a small budget, it is quite expensive. It has all the bells and whistles but it can be cost prohibitive,
