Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite

I use Hootsuite to send/broadcast alerts, notifications, and announcements to the community I support. Hootsuite allows me to create a clear, concise, and consistent message across our social media channels.
  • Keeps me aware of my word count while using Twitter, allowing me to edit my post in real-time.
  • It allows me to to view comments and DMs across all channels so I don't miss a reply.
  • The media gallery help frame my message with stunning images.
  • I miss the extra channel availability on the free tier. There used to be three.
  • Viewing streams can get a little frustrating due to all the scrolling left to right. A dashboard would be a nice way to see a summary of your channels allowing for a deeper dive if necessary.
  • Content/message consistency
  • Audience engagement
  • Scheduling message efficently
I have not found other products that work as well as Hootsuite for the price. We have no budget and Hootsuite allows us to still get our message out and reach our audience.
I never had the opportunity to work with Hootsuite support, however, the online support and targeted email articles are written well and are very helpful. I've never had trouble following them.

Yes

Yes

Would you buy Hootsuite again?

Yes

Hootsuite works best when I have to quickly make a broadcast announcement reaching many followers about outages or other downtimes. If I notice many of the same issues coming into the support center, I use Hootsuite to send out troubleshooting steps to others to address and resolve problems before they occur. The mobile app allows me to send out alerts, notifications, or announcements while I'm away from the office.
