Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite
Hootsuite has helped create ease when dealing with multiple clients' social media accounts. It saves time by allowing me to publish as much content as I want in advance. Also, with the new stock photos feature, it allows me to do a lot from only one system which saves time from jumping from system to system.
Pros
- Organization of posts - I like how I can see everything I've scheduled in a variety of views (day, week, month).
- Engagement - Hootsuite allows me to see what's going on in each social media page and engage all from the same platform. I don't need to log into each account to do so.
- Ease of use - Everything that I do in Hootsuite is easy to do and right to the point. I don't need to jump through hoops to do a simple task.
- Education - Hootsuite offers a variety of education courses that you can become certified in a specific area.
Cons
- Pricing - The pricing for Hootsuite is tricky if you are a business managing multiple accounts for clients. There is a large jump from the first plan to the next because you get more licenses. But if you are a small business, you don't need more licenses, just more social media account spots.
1 - Owner/Marketing
- Hootsuite has saved me a lot of time in creating ease in scheduling out posts in bulk.
- Buffer
I don't remember the name now but there was another tool I used when I first started and it was messing up all of my posts. I would find links to one post were showing up on another and the images were swapped as well. Once this started happening, I immediately stopped using that product and started the search for another. That's when I found Hootsuite and it worked great so I was happy and stuck with it. Now that my clientele is growing, I am looking into another product whose price point fits better with my business as I continue to grow. I do also have a client who prefers I use Buffer for their content. They aren't as easy to use as Hootsuite because each account's posts are separate from each other and I prefer Hootsuite's view where you can see all posts in one spot. However, they do have some cool features such as storing hashtags, which is really helpful.
