"Control all of your social media platforms in one place!"
What do you like best about Buffer?

Buffer is an awesome way to create, track, organize, and schedule posts to multiple social media platforms all at the same time. Despite the streamlined process, you can still customize a post to each platform in order to add hashtags.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I did not like that I can not see any interactions we have from viewers or comments from people like we could in the previous software we used for social media.

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Buffer to streamline our social media presence. It allows us to maintain a presence online but doesn't take up half the day like it used to.

"Functional and User Friendly"
What do you like best about Buffer?

I love that this platform functions flawlessly from any device— be it iPhone or PC desktop. I’m always on the go so being able to make additions and edits from my phone works best for me while some of the team prefers their PCs. It’s so user friendly and packs a punch!

What do you dislike about Buffer?

Honestly, very little. The price can be prohibitive for some businesses, but the free version does so much!

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

What doesn’t it do? We’ve been able to track and increase engagement significantly.

"Great platform to manage your social media "
What do you like best about Buffer?

I like the unlimited time free trial - it works great for 3 platforms and a limited number of posts.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I wish the free version included 4 platforms - but I get it. I can still get a great idea of how it all works.

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Buffer gives me the opportunity to get organized with my social media for the week, which is great!

Very easy to use and helpful tool in managing social campaigns. It does the work for you and keeps all your information in one app that is very effective and let's you properly schedule your post.

I wish it would post directly through the app, rather then copy and opening instagram to post.

For a clean and effective social campaign.
