Overall Satisfaction with Sprout Social

I use Sprout Social to manage client and my company's social media accounts. It helps with time efficiencies with their easy scheduling system, gives robust analytics for better strategic growth and has an organized interactions management system for cross-team timely responses for our audiences (and our client's audiences).

Pros

  • Robust reporting
  • Easy scheduling
  • Organized interactions management

Cons

  • There are some features that don't align with what you can do natively on social media platforms, like being able to post more than 10 carousel slides on Instagram, but not on Sprout.
  • The data isn't always immediately accurate, it takes time for Sprout to load the accurate data, which can cause reporting discrepancies
  • It is on the more expensive side of social media management platforms
  • Time savings!
  • Intuitive features, for ease of learning and training employees
Yes! Through it's reporting, I am able to pull detailed data that helps us make data-informed strategic changes to our client's accounts.
Very intuitive!
It's been awhile since I've used these, except for Agorapulse - I used them more recently. Agorapulse was not intuitive to use, their features were not as regularly updated/integrated with Meta, their reporting wasn't as detailed as Sprout, and there were a lot of bugs/issues with failed posts. Sprout doesn't have any of these basic problems, so it's worth the money.

Do you think Sprout Social delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Sprout Social's feature set?

Yes

Did Sprout Social live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Sprout Social go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Sprout Social again?

Yes

I'm quick to recommend Sprout, because I've worked in social media management for over a decade and used other platforms, and it's still the best one. The cheaper platforms cause more wasted time and inaccurate data, and don't have the same kind of customer support and tech updates that Sprout has. You pay for what you get!
