Hootsuite Remains a Leader in the Industry for a Reason
Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite
I use Hootsuite for periodically scheduling my personal LinkedIn and Twitter posts; both personal and professional. I have used it for many years and have always found it to be a decent and easy-to-use tool. I used Hootsuite for my own personal social scheduling even before I was a business owner. I don't use it regularly but do use Hootsuite as needed and it remains consistent in use and features. I have also recommended it to others depending on their needs, and trust it to be a good tool for social media pros and novices alike. There are good reasons that Hootsuitge remains so popular.
Pros
- Easy to post
- Nice layout
- Three free social accounts
- Easy to schedule
- Good features for adding images
- Company has been consistent over time
- Not too many marketing emails
Cons
- The cost has risen a lot
- Only 30 scheduled posts for free accounts
- Not as sophisticated as some of the other options
- Doesn't auto recycle posts
- Simple analytics (I haven't used the in-depth features)
- Increased brand awareness
- Maximize my time
- Remain more hands-off in social media management
- Buffer
I used Hootsuite first and then tried Buffer for a while. Buffer's interface is very basic, and sometimes that was nice to not have distractions. I think Buffer is probably the easiest social media management tool to pick up and start using. But that also meant it phased out pretty easily for me. It didn't take long to outgrow Buffer, so I went back to Hootsuite. Overall, I've been happy with Hootsuite for quite a few years.
