Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite
I use Hootsuite to draft and schedule social media content across multiple social media channels including Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. The calendar function helps keep me organized and gives a 360 degree view of all social media activity across each main platform I am using. The free version only allows 5 posts to be scheduled at a single time so I use the drafts folder to create content and schedule out at a later time.

It is convenient that you can manage all of your social media platforms from a single social media management platform rather than having to create and schedule posts from each social media platform. It is especially nice to have for the social media platforms that do not allow scheduling straight from the application.
Hootsuite’s free service is most useful to me at this time as social media management does not have a large budget within my business. However, they are no longer offering it at this time which has led me to go to another service. Over the years, Hootsuite has been taking away capabilities of their free plan and now have mixed it completely.
