Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite

We've been using Hootsuite Pro for a number of years. I started using it to monitor twitter parties, tracking hashtags and schedule posts for instagram. Today, I use it for multiple clients and share some of the feeds with clients/colleagues (makes for easy approval process). I use it for Facebook, twitter, instagram and sometimes LinkedIn.
  • Create streams for multiple accounts and platforms and offer an easy overview
  • Schedule, comment on, like and reshare posts on multiple platforms
  • Track trends, hashtags and search terms in separate column
  • schedule content and have clients/colleagues check for approval
  • I've used the platform for a long time but do get some resistance sometimes from others saying it's not very user-friendly
  • Maybe add more features to the analytics side
  • The mobile function is great for on the go tracking and posting
  • It's a cost-effective social media tool.
We are longtime users and find Hootsuite to be the best for easy scheduling and sharing content within organizations.
Hootsuite offers a great way to easily plan out social campaigns. It's a great way to schedule content and have others look at it for approval as well as share with clients.
We don't use the promotion tool on Hootsuite - each promotion goes through the social channel's own platform.
we haven't had a need to contact customer support in a long time. when we have reached out it's always been to our satisfaction.

Yes

Did implementation of Hootsuite go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Hootsuite again?

Yes

One platform for several clients with different needs. We have our own Hootsuite Pro account but also use clients' accounts for approval process and scheduling.
It's also very practical for twitter parties and tracking hashtags and conversations. Since each platform offers their own analytics we don't use Hootsuite's analytics as much.
