Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite

I use Hootsuite to send duplicate adverts across businesses selling the same product, in retail, namely, Pick N Pay which is one of the largest supermarket chains in our country. I manage a few stores' social media platforms but use Hootsuite for their Facebook pages. Hootsuite allows me to send this duplicated ad faster than going into each business account separately. I also use the platform to schedule posts for up to a week ahead on these same retailers' pages, which saves me so much time during the week, when I need to be busy with design work and not scrolling through Facebook pages for content. Hootsuite also affords me the opportunity to measure monthly stats and compare stores, month on month, and potentially correlate/match sales figures to content posting.
  • Motivates me to post more when I see my social score every day!
  • Allows me to see top performing posts instantly
  • Sorts my searches by client and time frame
  • Allows me to respond to messages on one platform for many clients
  • I would like to be able to edit posts once posted
  • I am confused about the hashtag functionality and this has stopped me from using Hootsuite for my other makeup business, which needs Facebook and Instagram posts done
  • Hootsuite mobile is not all that. I have to edit and post on PC rather.
  • Better engagement rate due to suggested posting times
  • More hours in my day to get other work done
  • Better analytics at month end per store
If you ever have a problem, it takes a matter of minutes for someone to chat with you online, and sort it out with you! No waiting for people to reply to emails!!!

Do you think Hootsuite delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Hootsuite's feature set?

Yes

Did Hootsuite live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Hootsuite go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Hootsuite again?

Yes

The only reason I give it a 9, is because I am well aware that I do not use Hootsuite to its full capacity! Hootsuite has given me back many hours in the day because it so efficiently does my posts. Hootsuite has stopped my sleepless nights of dread, close to month end, worrying about how I am going to compile reports for my clients based on my social media content and advertising.
