Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite

I used Hootsuite to help schedule social content on several social media channels for multiple brands. I would use the calendar for scheduling, and I would use the listening tool to keep up with comments and at-mentions for our brands across social channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube, and Instagram.
  • Social media content scheduling
  • Response management
  • Aggregating social channels in one central location
  • Could have more robust reporting
  • Better scheduling for certain platforms, such as Pinterest
  • Really helps with content management
  • Helps show a visual representation of the number of posts per month/quarter as well as results on those posts
  • Helped manage inbound messages from consumers on our social channels, and was especially helpful on Twitter and Facebook where we got a lot of customer service messages
We originally used Hootsuite and we really loved it, however, we switched to Khoros (then Spredfast) because our parent company had a global contract with them, and we had to switch. We were able to get more robust reporting from Spredfast, but Hootsuite was more user-friendly and they had great customer service.
We had a dedicated account manager who was always there to answer our questions and was really responsive. Even though they were based in Canada they flew to our offices a couple of times to help with the implementation of Hootsuite in our organization. They had really phenomenal customer service.

Would you buy Hootsuite again?

Yes

I think Hootsuite is a great starting platform for anyone who is looking for a tool to help schedule content on multiple social channels. I think it's a great tool to help with distribution and keeping on top of comments on those social channels. It's also a really great platform for anyone on a budget because their free version is really robust for what it provides. However, Hootsuite does not have the best reporting platform (when I used it anyway), and if you're managing multiple brands, it's tricky to add several accounts that you manage in one account.
