Frank B
EVP
5.0

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.

4.0

Nancy: My name is Nancy. I'm the CEO and founder of a marketing and advertising firm. And I would give Publer a rating of four. For more reviews like this, click below. I really had used and considered Hootsuite most before I moved to Publer. I enjoyed Hootsuite. I was looking for a more competitive alternative for different software options as well as a pricing point. So I'd used Hootsuite for quite a while before switching. One of the reasons I chose Publer was the variety of platforms that I could choose. About the time I was using it, the stories became more prevalent and they were one of the first to add story options in from scheduling in that arena. I was able to see all of my clients in one big template. And honestly, it was less expensive than some of the other programs I had priced out or had used previously. We are a very small firm and are always trying to give the best bang for our buck back to our client. And so the less I can pass on those hard costs, the better I felt. It was very user-friendly and that was one of the big takes was the cost and then the user-friendly piece of it. The flexibility of the pricing as well. You didn't have to jump levels, you could just add on as you needed to. I would say it was very easy to onboard with Publer. It was an intuitive program. It kind of walked you through the steps. It would pop up and give you the options that you wanted, places to link and add. It would very quickly alert you if something didn't go through or didn't work. I knew if this one's Instagram or this one's Facebook was not connecting, it was very quick to get that information to you, which is vital. I feel like the platform was very user-friendly, even for somebody who maybe it wasn't necessarily their nature. I turned my husband onto some of it. Some of my clients have used it as well and I thought it was something easy I could onboard people to for access. If you're considering it, check it out. They do often have options where you can check something out for a free trial type thing. They have great resources in their help department. Great resources, even just online. I would Google and look for reviews, for other things that other people are saying, see if it fits you. And it was a great option for me to check it out, get into it. I think I did a call with them, they walked me through some of my options. I would suggest doing your research, check in your reviews, seeing what other businesses are saying and what size of businesses. We're a small business, but I manage probably 25 clients on social on any given day and so it was a fit for us. So check it out, so if you've got something bigger or smaller, it might also work for you. But I would just suggest getting in there and playing with it. I think to me, I don't really know a software if I'm not touching it. So somebody can tell me about it all day long, but if I can have a free trial or I can get in there and navigate, and then I feel like I know it better.
