Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite

In my opinion, Hootsuite is no longer the best platform for social media management. We use it more in the agency for its platform of case studies, metrics, and behavioral studies by industry. Previously we used it as the main social media tool, but we have replaced it with others.
  • Behavior studies by industry
  • Case studies
  • Social media marketing metrics
  • Integration with other tools and social media
  • Landing page generation for Instagram profiles
  • Extension for google chrome
  • Audience behavior research (social listening)
  • Role management only
  • Industry behavior studies
We use SocialGest but they do not allow us to give our opinion.
Hootsuite's customer service is really good. The times we use it really don't keep you waiting. They are interested in getting to the end of their query.
