Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite

Hootsuite is easy to use and its great, you can schedule on more than one platform. It saves me time so that I can plan social media content and schedule it rather than having to post live each day. I like how you can also customise your 'dashboard' so that it helps to easily see whether other accounts have engaged in your posts or mentioned you in theirs.
  • Customize dashboard
  • How it schedules/looks for posting on LinkedIn company pages
  • Shows if other accounts have mentioned you
  • Easy log in using your social media account
  • limited number of posts scheduled on the basic version
  • limited to a couple of social media accounts on the basic version
  • helps to save time and effort
  • helps to monitor engagement and interaction other wise I would miss some of this
  • Buffer
I prefer how Hootsuite lets you schedule video content on Linkedin's company page - or buffer it would show the file name of the video which may not look professional if you've forgotten to call it something appropriate. I didn't find it as user friendly as Hootsuite or as clear to show which platform you are scheduling for.
Helpful support which is easy to navigate.

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?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Hootsuite go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Hootsuite again?

Yes

Its easy to use and easy to edit scheduled posts if you need to change the date and time you have saved it for. For LinkedIn it would be good if it let you tag individual accounts whereas it just allows to tag company pages. The help function/chat is very useful if you have questions.
