Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I started using Hootsuite to help streamline posting on social media to support our new event. It was taking to long to post on each type of social media account. As a small business owner I needed something that would reduce time needed for social media posting which is not something I enjoy.

Pros and Cons

Editing scheduled posts is very helpful
Schedule view is great to see how posts are set
The mentions in the streams make it easier to comment when you are tagged.

The free version keeps losing features which is disappointing. Went to another program because of this. Now I see they are totally closing. Monthly cost was too much

Return on Investment

If you have the multiple social accounts it is helpful.

Likelihood to Recommend

The free version was worth trying for a new business starting with social media. Now that they are removing that options I do not remove. In my opinion, $99 a month is just too much. $10 a month sure! Definitely not $99/ month which is why I went to another platform (Later). Hootsuite did have a few features I liked better, but not $100 a month better, can live without them.

Hootsuite free no longer available so only good for business with big budgets
