I love the ability to create custom reports. They're simple to digest yet informative enough to cross the t's and dot the i's the executives look for. Also, the grammar tool is SO helpful when perfecting captions for posts.
I think a broader range of analytics would be helpful to anybody in a social media management role. And as someone who has to focus a lot on presentation, I think the platform would benefit from a mini facelift.
It's mainly helping us understand why our engagement is the way it is.
Its really easy to write, edit and update copy across multiple social platforms. In my role I was creating content across 4 platforms which needed tweaking for every post. Hootsuite made it super easy to repost previous posts with updates and ensure that the platforms always had consistent content.
Honestly there wasn't really any feature which was an issue for me. It would be nice to add pre-planned comments on the posts but it doesn't look like many platforms offer that option.
Hootsuite helped with understand which social platforms were getting the best engagement and at which times of the day in order to mazimise the exposure across every post.
I love the fact you can condense lots of different accounts into Hootsuite and manage them all from one wholesome platform. It makes scheduling so much easier.
A few downsides of Hootsuite are some technical issues here and there, sometimes our accounts are disconnected but this isn't very often.
Hootsuite is able to report on things in an easier format and produce PDF reporting on stats and engagement. I have also learned a lot myself from Hootsuite reporting.
I love the automation. I like that I can schedule posts several days in advance and the ease of posting with all of the helpful tips throughout.
Sometimes it may go down, but that happens with all online programs!
I can post every day without having to go directly to social media to do so. I like that I can see the results of my posts and what is getting engagement and what is not.
It saves you time, posting to all of your social media accounts at once. I also like that it allows you to customize for each platform, but still use the same basic info. Let's you work smarter, not harder.
I dislike that you have to use a mobile device to publish multiple photos to Instagram. Hootsuite does make it easy to copy and paste the info vai push notifications, but it's still a little inconvenient to have to switch devices.
Hootsuite has saved me a lot of time in being able to schedule posts for a later date, to all of our social media accounts. I have planned a month of posts at a time. Then I don't have to worry about it for a month at a time. I also reallty like the analytics of all of our account activity.
Hootsuite is one of those tools that doesn't require a steep learning curve. It is amazing that they have a free plan for marketers who are just getting started and the Hootsuite Academy gives you all the resources you could possibly need for social media management and more. When you have a large marketing team and cater to different geographies, Hootsuite's scheduling and publishing features become invaluable.
Though Hootsuite is an incredible tool to use with great analytics, the pricing for teams is a bit expensive. Since Hootsuite is so easy to use, you'd ideally want to share it with your team and it is an expensive feat to do so which makes it hard for companies with different products and multiple marketing teams.
Hootsuite helps us analyse our social media performance across multiple accounts and different social media pages. The analytics helps us stay fix our strategies to make sure growth is consistent across all social media platforms.
One of the best features of Hootsuite is its social media management capabilities, allowing users to manage multiple social media accounts from one platform, schedule posts in advance, and monitor social media activity.
Posting multiple photos for Instagram, you'd had to push it through an app. I would've liked it to be available on the browser and not to have to download the app for that.
Hootsuite solves the problem of managing multiple social media accounts and staying organized in the fast-paced world of social media marketing. It facilitates scheduling, publishing, and monitoring social media activity from one platform.
The ease of use and the features able to access social media from one platform. The insights and analytics are also extremely helpful with the customized reports and the scheduling.
The cap on Twitter accounts is tricky for a business with multiple ones.
Insights and analytics have been so helpful as has been scheduling.
The features of posting on multiple social media sites and being able to schedule posts ahead of time
The free version of the site- you can only post up to 3 posts per day- it should be more!
Being able to post on multiple social media sites at one time!
I love that Hootsuite allows me to post everything with just a copy and paste and a couple of clicks. It was very easy to figure out, and it has saved me so much time each week.
There is very little that I dislike about Hootsuite. There are times I get an email saying that my post failed, which can be frustrating, but those emails and errors are few and far betwee.
Hootsuite allows me to post to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter without having to take the time to log into each account and post separately. It keeps things super easy and fast.
