Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite

We use Hootsuite to schedule posts for our company. We have it linked to our LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram accounts so we can post to those accounts. The recommended times are beneficial on their end to know the most optimal time to post. I wish they had a better system for learning about the product. Most software companies have a representative you work with who can teach you how to get the most out of the program, and I think my company and I would benefit immensely from having a client success manager of some kind from Hootsuite.

Pros

  • Scheduling Posts
  • Recommending optimal posting times
  • Intuitive user interface
  • Calendar view of posts scheduled to go out

Cons

  • Educational tools on the product
  • Having a client success manager who helps you learn the product better
  • Better functionality in posting videos
  • Impressions
  • Increase in Traffic
  • Scheduling
  • Approvals
The platform is very easy to use as far as scheduling goes. The publisher function is simple to use and makes enough sense to me. It is easy to learn as far as that goes. I do not know how to use the other features of the program, but I would like to be able to learn how to use the program better to use the program most efficiently.
Hootsuite allows us to post across all platforms, while tweaking the content to be specific to the platform we are posting to. Instagram may be more hashtag-heavy, whereas LinkedIn may be more copy-heavy. Hootsuite allows me to customize my posts to those platforms. Hootsuite is also able to give us optimal posting times as well.

Did implementation of Hootsuite go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Hootsuite again?

Yes

While Hootsuite is useful, Meta now offers a business suite where we can schedule and plan posts ahead of time. So, using Meta's in-house system when it is free sometimes seems to make more sense when scheduling posts. Hootsuite shines best for platforms like LinkedIn, where I am unaware of any business suite. Its also excellent for holiday posting when the post is the same across all platforms.
