Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite
I use Hootsuite to share content relevant to our clients and applicants. We are a staffing and recruitment firm for allied health, especially school-based and pediatric speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, special education teachers, school psychologists, and others. Hootsuite allows me to organize, schedule, and publish my content ahead of time across several social media platforms.
- Easy to populate schedule/calendar
- Finds photos associated with links automatically
- Suggests times my users are online
- I am not able to repost an item and simultaneously change the bitly link. Harder to track posts that are essentially the same but are going to different audiences. I have to recreate the post from scratch to do that. I wish I could repost a post and customize the back end of the owly so I can see just by looking at the owly what post it was and where I posted it. For example, I would love to post my newsletter using an owly link like: ow.ly/NLpediatricOTtwitter and then repost it (from the original post by renaming the link to ow.ly/NLpedatricPTtwitter etc....... It's impossible for me to easily compare the performance of a single post across multiple social medial platforms or accounts
- Analytics are clunky and hard to manipulate.
- I wish they would increase the size of scheduling time (hour, minute, am, or pm) drop-down boxes. I have to click and scroll to find times later in the day. Every click matters.
- It would save clicks if you could navigate from one social media account to another without clicking a dropdown box and then scrolling. It would be great to be able to assign "favorites" that you can check and uncheck from the main planner/calendar view.
- I have been able to evaluate which posts, in general, do well and figure out what types of posts to make (content)
- It's been harder however to compare on social medial platform compared to another because it's hard to duplicate a post with a new owly (I think you used to be able to) but more so, you also can't assign it a custom owly link so I can see at a glance which owly link was associated with what platform.
- Later
Much better than later... Many more features and way better interface
