Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite

I am managing quite a large number of social accounts for different projects and customers. If I have to do manual posting it would take me two full days to post things a week ahead and for a number of accounts would have to do daily posts in real-time. Hootsuite allows me to schedule posts for all of the accounts, and coordinate posts for projects across several accounts. It can even auto-post to accounts calculating the best time. I am also able to analyze the different accounts and feeds.
  • Auto post to social media accounts
  • Calculate the best time to post to the different accounts
  • Analyze post reactions
  • Schedule posts to different social media accounts even for months ahead
  • Post one post to more than one different account a time
  • Post pictures and text to social media
  • Edit pictures while being posted to the social accounts
  • Native post videos to social media accounts including TikTok
  • Handle paid ads for Facebook accounts
  • Auto posting can not be individually set for different accounts
  • When posting many posts one after the other, sometimes the site freezes and needs reloading.
  • It finally makes it possible for me to handle the social accounts
  • Saves me hundreds of hours per month in handled social media
  • The price is not the cheapest, I'd say it is worth it though
Very few times did I need support but when I needed it, it was swift and effective. Each time the problem I had got solved. I have even gotten a special deal because of the number of accounts I manage with Hootsuite.

Yes

Did implementation of Hootsuite go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Hootsuite again?

Yes

Hootsuite has a free account with a limited number of social accounts. It is good for smaller projects and also to try out how it works. You do not need to be a programmer or a marketing guru to be able to use it. Per my experience, it has way more features than you will ever use.
