Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Hootsuite Pro in our office for handling all of our social media. Whether it's content, calendar, or analytics, it is the tool that we use to handle everything. I'm the person who's generally in charge of its use, but it's fairly straight-forward, so pretty much any of our employees could use it if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Calendar - I love that I can schedule posts ahead of time so I don't have to worry about them. Set it and forget it.
The UX is great - Easy to navigate, clear layout.
Price - It's really not all that expensive for what you get!

It's not a powerhouse, but it's a beast.

Users and Roles

Return on Investment

Definitely a positive ROI because of its advanced analytics and time saving properties.

Other Software Used

RecruitBPM, Paylocity Web Pay, RingCentral

Likelihood to Recommend

If you've got a lot of heavy social media work to do, and a pre-planned calendar for many of the posts, Hootsuite is perfect. If you really don't utilize social media that much for your business (you should), you probably don't need to pay for this service (though you should).

Hootsuite is worth it
