Hootsuite helps brands manage social media better, from the smallest businesses to the largest enterprises across CPG, finance, healthcare, tech, higher-ed, and government services.
Whether you're a bootstrapping startup or a Fortune 500 company, our distribution and partnerships allow us to send your content to media in targeted regions, or to the farthest corners of the world.
I have been using Hootsuite daily for over 2 years and I am quite happy with it. It is definitely useful if you have several social media accounts and want to be active on all of them simultaneously.
Poor Customer Service and no credit issued when internally know issues are brought to attention. Meaning they knew about their software not working yet did nothing to notify their customer base.
It's got a free version with good functionality, the paid version offers some nice upgrades, and it does have Instagram integration. You can save posts as drafts to get around the scheduling limit.
Absolutely ridiculous!!!! As a small business owner every penny counts and this practice is unacceptable.
Such a easy and helpful tool for scheduling social media for an organization. I do not know how I lived without it before but I am very happy that I have it now.
It would be unfair to criticize such a software that provides planned and organized use.
What I love most about this software is its ability to track Twitter conversations. In fact, one of the most helpful aspects of this software is using it for Twitter and Twitter Chats.
Additionally at least once or twice the scheduled content has failed to post, and it is difficult to track these.
They take good care of their customers, and always take care of any issues or problems right away. We are extremely happy with the service we have received.
We have had some of our content censored where Newswire and their distribution partners have refused to publish our release.
I also liked that after completion and sending in my writing, a trustworthy and reliable team gave me specific feedback to assure that my review was great for readers.
It doesn't have location setups where you can send bases on location so that was disappointing.
The software is very easy to use and great for people who want to create a quick and good looking press release. The software formats it for you.
I did find the sidebar on the left was a bit cluttered and made it difficult to understand.
I like how in less than 5 minutes I can have a press release done for my client. I love the reports that are easy to just forward on to the client.
I guess the only negative I have is that it isn’t a brand name, I don’t actually mind.
Rick K.: Hi, I'm Rick, the owner of a small business. We're under 10 people, and I give Hootsuite a five out of five. Previously, we were just using Twitter, and that just didn't give us the depth of scheduling and the ability to crosspost to multiple platforms. Hootsuite allowed us to do all the crossposting we wanted, and with our small business, we didn't even need to pay for Hootsuite. I think we got three separate accounts for free, like three seats to post to three different social media platforms for free, and we didn't need more than that so price was a factor. Getting started with Hootsuite was really simple. It was really just a matter of still having to create the content for social media. Hootsuite made it so we could just post it into Hootsuite, then schedule it, and it was ready to post. I mean, as soon as that date and time came around, Hootsuite auto posted it for us, which was great. I would say just jump in with Hootsuite. It has been the best software that we've used to help us with our social media in terms of posting and scheduling so that we didn't have to take time every single day and remember to post. We just scheduled a week, sometimes even a month in advance.
Frank B.: Good afternoon. My name is Frank, and I'm an Executive Vice President for System Integrator, and I rate Newswire a five out of five. Newswire gives us the ability to review current clients as well as potential clients to get a great overview on where the client is and where the client is looking to go in the future, thus preparing us for any future conversations we would be having with these clients. I like Newswire because their articles are always up to date, and in the future, they will always do updates to those articles as well as excellent commentary by the Newswire staff. What I think can be improved by Newswire is more in-depth questioning of the individuals who are being interviewed for that particular article. I think it would be a little bit more beneficial to individuals like myself.
