Hootsuite vs Reputation: Which is a better fit?

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.

Dan F.: I'm Dan, I'm a Social Media Manager in the automotive industry, and I give Reputation.com a five out of five rating. Well, believe it or not, before we were using Reputation.com, we were doing things in a manual manner, so we were kind of doing things almost hand written. We were in the digital sphere, kind of doing everything one by one, but after using Reputation.com, the ability to create and move forward with the content and the engagement of reviews and testimonials, has just been a game changer. We even looked at different platforms. One of them was called Chatmeter and it compared pretty nicely, but in the long run, the credibility of Reputation.com, just the different functions and benefits that they have, is primarily the reasons that we moved forward with them. Using a platform that allows you to pull in multiple pieces of information, and makes it easy, quick, and efficient, and allows you to have digestible reports or dissectable reports, was really some of the main reasons we chose Reputation.com. Reputation.com has a lot of different integrations, or at least the key integrations, to have success in the testimonial and review market. So, when you're looking at reviews from all these different places, Reputation.com has the ability to pull in reviews into one dashboard, from Google or Facebook or different platforms like that, where you're having a lot of your traffic and you're having a lot of your reviews or testimonials on those different sites. So, it's efficient in the sense that it allows you to see everything in just one dashboard, as opposed to going to Google My Business, or the multiple pages that you have, or your Facebook pages. Sometimes, for businesses, you have an umbrella corporate entity, and then you'll have a lot of different franchisees under that umbrella, and so this Reputation.com platform saves a tremendous amount of time. Some other benefits include the ability to categorize and look at stats in different levels, so if you want to look at the franchise level, or if you want to look at the group corporate level, or if you want to look at location, you want to look at how you're getting reviewed, your positive reviews, your negative reviews, all that kind of information can be broken down in this dashboard at the click of a couple buttons. It makes it really super simple and very easy, and very pleasant, actually, because if I had to do this with all the different pages one by one, it would take all day and I would probably have no hair. But now, we're doing something like this in one platform, just like I said, makes it really easy and comforting. I think if you're looking at Reputation.com, I think it's a great platform because it is reliable. It is a huge, trusted name and organization used across the nation and probably worldwide as well. So, having that kind of dependability in a platform will really help you to make the right decision in choosing Reputation.com.
