Pinterest can be difficult to utilize for a business since it's completely different from other social media platforms. Since I'm still in the learning phases of figuring out how to target my ideal client through Pinterest, Tailwind is such a huge help to me for making sure that I'm heading in the right direction.
T dashboard page gives you suggestions for how to improve your Pinterest account, but I wish there was an option to dismiss suggestions. I typically take their advice, but certain suggestions (ie: inviting collaborators) don't work for me and I don't like having the pop up still on my dashboard suggesting I do that. Definitely a small complaint, but it's really the only thing bothers me so far.
I'm consistently taking webinars, reading blogs and finding tips for Pinterest strategies. It's a very different approach than how you would use Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or Snapchat for a business, so I'm very much still in the learning process. Tailwind is helping me track what content is resonating with potential clients.
Ease of use, install the plugin and your done.
That you have to pay for a year to get unlimited pins. Only 1/5 of the suggested pins are relevant to what I post.
Getting traffic to my blog via Pinterest.
With the Pinterest scheduling feature, you don't have to spend all day pinning live. Analytics are a bit more robust than what you see from Pinterest's native dashboard. Love in the scheduler that you can shuffle your scheduled pins. We often pin images from a blog post to multiple boards and this allows us to not have identical pins going out in a row.
Analytics could be a bit more robust and wish the dashboard was more customizable.
Saves time by allowing us to schedule pins.
I'll admit the interface confused me the first time I used it because there should be a simple tutorial built into the app. So you kinda have to just figure out things a little bit and then its great. I added Tailwind because of Hootsuite and its perfect.
No user tutorial at first sign on so then you are stuck playing with it to get a hang of the controls

I like how I can schedule pins days/weeks in advance.
I feel Tailwind Plus is too expensive, and I cannot schedule pins on my phone through the app.
I can improve my engagement and connect with more people.
I am a big fan of the Chrome button that allows me to schedule, so that I can schedule something that I find while searching the web or from my email. That also allows me more easily to pin for my employer without having to logout of my own Pinterest account, since I work from my personal home computer. My new favorite feature is the ability to pin from Instagram. It's still in beta, so it is a little glitchy. But, it is a great possibility.
Tailwind seems to move slow. I often save it for the last thing on my to-do list because of that. I also find the interface cluttered and hard to navigate. It's possible that there isn't another product better, but if it were my decision, I might try something different for my team first. Like their ability to pin from Instagram, I wish they would create a way for you to more easily pin from a blog.
My team needs Pinterest to be able to schedule in advance. This allows us to schedule out ahead of time, which makes our presence on Pinterest stronger!
I like being able to schedule posts and don't know any other tool that does that.
I don't like that it's not very user-friendly
being able to schedule ahead
I like how you can do a number of social posts at once (onviously), making it easy to develop a strategy and schedule. I also appreciated the hashtag suggestions.
Of course this is Instagram’s issue, but I wish I didn’t have to manually post. I also wish that there was a free option beyond the one month trial.
It was helpful to plan the exact time to post, causing me to more easily space out posts and reach viewers.
I really like Tailwind. It's fairly easy to use and understand.
I really feel the only drawback is the price. I would probably still be using it, but my small company can't justify the cost when Social Report will post to Pinterest as a part of my regular subscription.
I haven't really solved any problems because I had to switch providers.
Good way to gauge initial Pinterest analytics.
Still growing and tougher to balance as Pinterest has their own version
