Overall Satisfaction with Meta Business Manager

We use it to help us put ads together to run on Facebook/Instagram, to build organic content native to run on those platforms. There are some features available in the business suite that aren’t available in 3rd party software such as Sprout or Hootsuite.

Pros

  • Publishing Reels to Instagram and/Or Facebook
  • Creating ads to run on Facebook/instageam
  • Getting analytics data from
  • Facebook / Instagram

Cons

  • Often feels like changes are made without any planning, things break or are disconnected.
  • It can be quite complicated to get the analytics data
  • It is frustrating using some of the interface which feels poorly planned from a UX perspective
  • It has been a decent driver for awareness campaigns
  • It is great for promoting video content
  • It is great for targeting very specific audiences
Very clunky, feels like it wasn’t built for humans to use. Changes are made without warning, often resulting in unresolvabke issues in trying to build campaigns
