Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Hootsuite for social media management. It helps us stay organized when different team members are providing collateral for posts. This also helps us schedule our posts, so we can jump on these tasks during downtime throughout the day. An excellent tool all around, I can only imagine the benefits on larger teams.

Pros and Cons

Schedule social posts
Allow multiple team members to see what is in the pipeline
Collaborative efforts amongst our team

Return on Investment

I can't comment on the ROI - but the ease of use is great

Alternatives Considered

Mailchimp

We prefer to use Hootsuite for socials and Mailchimp for email. Both have great features, but we like to keep these separated. It just works out better for our team this way, as we don't want too many hands on the email side of things.

Likelihood to Recommend

For our group we constantly use Hootsuite. The only time I could see it not being necessary was for an urgent post, but we typically like to schedule everything in advance. The ease of use is great and makes things much simpler for those members with little social media experience.

No nights needed with Hootsuite's social post scheduling
