I like the fact that I can see the posts on the calendar, this allows me to see which day I have left to cover and if there is any social account I missed
I think there is still work to do, for example adding TikTok will be very useful.
Saving a lot of time, I have in total 24 accounts and with this I cover a lot of them.
We were using another social media platform that handled most functions pretty well--except LinkedIn video posting! We immediately switched to Hootsuite because it had that function and more that I love: native video hosting, account tagging, analytics, and a customizable dashboard.
The one thing I'm frequently annoyed by is being unable to tag personal accounts in LinkedIn--you can tag accounts, but not individuals, which is a shame because many of our posts call out certain people to let them know we've promoted them. I also wish you could make polls, events, etc. from within Hootsuite. Wish these features were possible!
I love being able to get everything I need to be done on one platform--as in I don't have to do much toggling between the native platforms and Hootsuite to conduct our social outreach.
Hootsuite is a social media management platform that allows me to easily schedule content, track engagement, and keep tabs on all the different social networks, so I can see at a glance what’s going on.
So far, I can't find anything to dislike with Hootsuite. With Hootsuite, you can view your social media profile and network interactions, schedule messages, and tweets, track brand mentions, and analyze your results.
It’s a free, easy-to-use product that helps you manage all of your social networks in one place. Hootsuite also offers opportunities for users to increase productivity, streamline their workflows and stay safe out there on the web.
I found HOOTSUITE extremely helpful when monitoring keywords about the current digital conversation that I am currently tracking down.
I miss the feature to monitor Facebook fanpages and groups. I hope it will be available soon again.
I can monitor keywords, hashtags, even geolocalized tweets.
I love how easy it is to post across multiple social media platforms, to schedule posts and even montior messages across platforms. With so many social media accounts, is the only way I can stay on top of things.
There is nothing in particular I dislike.
Hootsuite helps me save time and make sure I am able to respond to all social media messages.
Easy to plan social media posts weeks in advance. Analytics make reporting easy.
Hootsuite have recently had some problems with their platform performance. At times their media library is not available.
Save time with social media planning and publishing.
Hootsuite is VERY user-friendly, and I like everything about the program. The weekly insights that are available also provide me a good picture of which posts, on any of my four platforms, performed the best for me. It is a great program
I would love to see Hootsuite auto-generate hashtags.
This program is a great timesaver for me!
Hootsuite has been a time saver for me! It allows me to store my posts and schedule them whenever I need them to go out. This consistency helps to build my personal brand. When creating content, it’s easy to do multiple posts during one session. The tricky part is remembering to post it or having the time to post regularly; with Hootsuite, it’s one less thing I have to worry about at the end of the day.
The only downside to this product is the non-tagging of personal LinkedIn accounts for posts. However, it does allow for tagging of company profiles, so this helps a lot.
Hootsuite saved me a lot of anxiety in the mornings. In the past, I used to rush to upload media and content for specific times, and this kept back most of my morning. Now, it is easy, goes out on time, and I don't have the hassle of putting posts up at the last minute.
The pre-made ads catorgized per social media platform...but I also like how I can create my own and still have peace of mind that business rules are being followed.
it seems to lose connection to some of the social media platforms that repeatedly has to be connected; and Linkdin always states that it cannot be posted to due to this reason, we can't seem to get it fixed.
Making sure I get sufficient postings completed to allow the business to be seen. That I can be more productive, but it seems that the pre-made postings get less likes, shares, or organic views that when i do a more personal one with the Agent/family.
The ability to pre-load our information once a week and hit all of our social media sites! In the busy world of small business, this is a great Product!
Nothing really, it is simple to use and esy to follow~!
Time, time, Time! When you spend hours daily chasing leads on clients, every minute is valuable.
I started using Hootsuite four months ago when I got a job where I have manage four social channels. It is magical. I really how it allows me to plan, schedule, edit, and post content on our social channels.
I would like to see it improved in the edit post area. Sometimes the application lags, which is annoying. I would also like to see Hootsuite improve its tagging integration. Sometimes it is hard to tag other pages/profiles.
I plan, schedule, and post content on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. I am learning more about Hootsuite as I keep working with it. I think it is a great application to have on your side.
The sheer volume of monitoring you can set up all in one place is invaluable. Multiple boards with up to 10 streams per board, and each stream is sub-searchable. It's awesome. I'm also a big fan of the geocode search. Even on the free account with just 2 social media accounts connected, the amount of monitoring potential is huge. I'm a fan of adding all my Twitter lists into one board so I have them all in one screen.
I don't like the interface design. It's very chunky and blocky. I much preferred the old interface going back to 2015/16ish.
I need to have a lot of saved searches on my socials, and Hootsuite lets me have them all on one screen at the same time without having to have multiple tabs or screens open.
The option to post more than a week out vs just a couple of days of posts.
Nothing at the moment I have found that I dislike about the app
Just the benefit of creating content and pre schedule them so I don't have to worry about it is soooo extremely helpful.
I love how I can look at my analytics for the past week or month. As well as being able to schedule a WHOLE month ahead!
I only wish I could tag individual accounts on LinkedIn as it only allows me to tag pages. There are people in our organization that specialize in what we do that need to be highlighted. Another thing is the pages I get shown to tag are primarily American, and I'm based in South Africa, so it would be helpful to include more African country pages.
I'm saving so much time by scheduling posts ahead of time. I can solely focus on doing my marketing manager duties and budgets, content planning, etc. Performance has dramatically increased because of the algorithm noticing how regularly we post.
The way it allows me to schedule posts in the future. It made me more fluid in my posts as well.
Ummmmmm I guess that I can't go back in time and change a post.
I love that I can plan my posts in a more organized fashion. My posts have become more syncronized. I can get more done faster.
I've been using Hootsuite for years. Ease of use, zero downtime, and the addition of great new features over time are some of the most significant benefits of Hootsuite.
I'm not sure if the social media algorithms treat the posts through Hootsuite as well as native posts, so I still have to schedule a mix. I love Hootsuite for when I need it, though!
Hootsuite is an excellent tool for a small business that needs flexibility in posting regularly. Sometimes things change and I have to adjust accordingly, so it's great that Hootsuite easily adjusts with me.
We are so happy with Hootsuite for assisting us with our social media - we can see everything, plan, create content, track insights. The reporting is excellent!
We cannot think of much that we dislike about the product. Hootsuite is constantly updating, provides excellent training and support.
We can keep our social media in-house and have multiple team members creating content. It helps save time so that we can take care of our guests and focus on other projects.
It's perfect for digital marketeers (as I am) to schedule their posts and feel safe that they will be uploaded ! Great platform ! It gives me great flexibility and peace of mind !
1)I would like to also schedule comments on my posts 2) I would prefer if the Professional plan included 15 accounts and not 10!
Flexibility to the fullest!!
So convenient to use. Saves a huge amount of time
Nothing at all. A great service all round from Hootsuite
Scheduling social media posts at optimum times of the day
The streaming platform allows me to monitor activity throughout the day efficiently. The app gives me insight in our off-hours should anything need addressing. Posting on both the app and desktop is easy for all platforms and allows for customization for each platform in one single transaction.
Posting to Instagram stories requires an extra step on my cell phone that is easy but can get lost in my day-to-day activities.
We are a small non-profit and social media is rolled into a job with five other main priorities. Hootsuite allows us to be effective and efficient, look professional and monitor results.
