### "One less thing for social media marketers to worry about"

September 15, 2023

4.0

Pros

In every social media-based role I've been in, I've always recommended Hootsuite as a tool for my team to use. Great for scheduling posts and getting things live on time, plus the ability to preview each post before it goes live means you can make any last-minute tweaks to suit the social platform you're posting for. Has definitely saved me heaps of time in the past!

Cons

Only thing that would be nice to see would be the option to schedule link changes in link branches, such as LinkTree. For instance, if I've scheduled a post on Instagram, I have to remind myself to go back and update the links in the bio when the post referencing such links goes live.

### "Not a fan.....yet"

January 20, 2022

1.0

It is so very difficult to figure out and seems limited. I used to be able to click on and download images but it seems there is much less of that now. I do like the marketing content but really need access to just images as well.

Pros

There is nothing so far that I can list that I like since I have not been able to figure out how to use it. Seems there needs to be a better help menu area or videos to help new users.

Cons

Mary Kay has required we use this resource for our digital content now yet I cannot figure out how it works. I have spent so much time on it. It effects my business as I cannot get the graphics I need for my social media. Not a fan.

### "a lifetime relationship"

September 11, 2019

3.0

I'm been working for more than 5 years with this site and its very very complete. Sometimes i've made my research to see if some new site had more options, and the true its that i can't find other that provide me all the tools and the funtionality that Hootsuite has. Its very practice to use, very friendly CSR has a lot of free tools that will help you to organize your content and your socials media.

Pros

The free part has a lot of options and tools to be use for community managers or a communication team. You can schedual content in more than 1 social network, in fact you have a LOT of social networks avaliable for set the content of a week, month or year if you are very very planificate. At the same page you can have the mentions, private messages, your post and the schedual post, all un columns and divided by network. Its very very very useful when you work with so many social networks

Cons

Sufer the normla limitations that the original social network could have. For example, you can't schedual content for a instagram stories (but you can do it in feed post). And in Twitter you can't creat threads. So, its very helpful btut you ALWAYS will need some human to be full time keeping on eye in the content and updating some social network (beside ofcourse of create interaction and a realitionship with you audience)

### "A strong contender for any organization"

August 4, 2023

4.0

Its centralized dashboard, scheduling, analytics, and team collaboration features make it an invaluable asset for managing multiple social media accounts effectively.

Pros

Hootsuite's greatest strength lies in its centralized dashboard, which allows users to manage multiple social media accounts from a single interface. This convenience saves time and effort.The platform is incredibly useful for maintaining a consistent posting schedule and reaching audiences in different time zones.

Cons

Hootsuite's free plan has limitations in terms of the number of social profiles and scheduled posts. This can be restrictive for individuals or small businesses on a tight budget.

### "What a great social media management platform"

June 10, 2021

5.0

Using Hootsuit helps you keep organized with your content and schedule, you can manage all your social media platforms in only one place! It makes you get things done faster than ever!

Pros

The possibility of manage different social platforms in only one place, simplifies the job in a whole new way! I absolutely recommend it!

Cons

There’s no integration with some social media platforms but the most popular and most used are!

### "Automates all my coaching social media activity"

June 4, 2019

5.0

It's been seemless. I've aggregated all my social media networks in to one place, even on the free version. Where I cannot add another account (because it's the free version), I've used other software to automate inline with Hootsuite recommendations. This is an excellent product; I've seen immediate benefits and I'll be using it for years to come.

Pros

The ability to post to multiple social media accounts simultaneously, with auto-scheduled timings to suit the content and the audiences. Being able to see the scheduled posts on a calendar-like format then helps me go back in to tweak each post depending on the platform it is going to - perhaps to add a little more content to the Instagram version, while shrinking the content for the Twitter version. Monitoring streams on each of the social media platforms allows me to tailor my own content to suit the most popular channels of the day, reaching a larger audience and ultimately engaging with more people.

Cons

I'd like to have seen some analytics capability from the free version. I get that you shouldn't get everything for free but I need to know if there's value in me paying for something before I throw cash at the problem. What analytics will Hootsuite give me that rivals, such as Twitter Analytics, won't?

### "The most user-friendly Social Media management Tool"

December 20, 2022

4.0

Using Hootsuite has been a wonderful experience and has made maintaining my social media accounts much simpler and easier

Pros

I really liked being able to plan and share content across many platforms because it saved me so much time between all of my accounts. I was able to simultaneously keep an eye on my social media accounts thanks to it and Hootsuite is unquestionably the tool to use if you want to monitor and enhance your social media performance. Very user-friendly app.

Cons

To be as good as the rest, the app's free edition might need more functionality.

October 29, 2022

5.0

Pros

Hootsuite es la herramienta perfecta para gestionar, programar y monitorizar las redes sociales, llevamos años utilizandolas y estamos encantados..el tablero es muy cómodo para organizar tus redes, programar publicaciones y monitorizar lo que se dice de ti en un simple vistazo.

Cons

Nos cambiaron sin la forma de pago a pago anual y quizás eso para algunas empresas no es lo más cómodo, sobre todo si eres pequeño

### "The best friend of a community manager"

November 15, 2018

5.0

I currently use this tool to program tweets and manage twitter accounts of the company where I work. Through Hootsuites can review, above all, the mentions made by users about our company and address them quickly.

Pros

Hootsuites is one of the web tools currently used by social network administrators, due to its potential to view content from several networks simultaneously. Pros: • Up to six social networks can be added for free, without paying anything. • Allows you to see several columns simultaneously. Either from the same social network or from different networks. • If you are using to manage a twitter account, for example, you can put in a column the mentions, in another column the timeline, in another column the programmed tweets, etc. • Up to 30 tweets per day can be programmed. • Messages can be programmed with several photos and videos.

Cons

• You can not add more than six accounts in the tool. To administer more accounts must be paid obligatorily. • The tool does not allow to see the TT of the moment. • Not being able to schedule more than 30 daily tweets can be negative because sometimes more daily messages are programmed. • Sometimes in the messages programmed instead of seeing the picture a link is seen. The same happens with the videos.

### "Integral & essential tool"

March 5, 2019

5.0

I save so much and am able to be in all places at once with Hootsuite. It's valuable for getting media and content from my mobile device into my overall workflow. Fabulous value for the price, and an absolute must-have for any social media manager.

Pros

Having all my social profiles in one place is extremely valuable and time-saving. Batching and scheduling a month's content or more in advance is a game-changer.

Cons

There are definitely some bugs in working between the mobile and desktop version. And autoschedule is only available on certain forms of the hootlet scheduling tool. The new composer is generally great and easy to use, but it does not have the autoschedule function, and you still have to go into the legacy composer to use certain browser extensions, specifically for saved text. I've been having issues recently with accounts disconnecting, and I wish it was easier/clearer to form teams of multiple people.

### "The standard for social media post scheduling "

August 12, 2021

4.0

I think this Is great for most people and agencies, but if you need to schedule threads, you will need an additional tool or to do it manually

Pros

The ease of use, it's simple to jump in and get set up and start scheduling, for the most part it works as you imagine it would

Cons

I wish it could schedule threads, I had to manually post these at different hours due to time zone differences

### "A great way to manage your social media profiles"

September 26, 2022

5.0

Pros

Hootsuite is incredibly easy to use, especially for those individuals who do not come from a Marketing / PR background. It is definitely a one stop shop, where you can batch create content and schedule posts on different social media platforms. This is our favourite and most used feature. The Hootsuite app is also a fantastic and streamlined app that can directly schedule posts from your phone.

Cons

There are no opportunities for non profit organizations / charities to receive additional elevated features at minimal or zero cost. Most often such organizations cannot pay for such services out of pocket but desperately need them to ensure that they are able to spread the word of the work that their organization is doing.

5.0

Pros

I find this platform great because it allows me to manage all my network pages all in one. I can even schedule publications on each of my social networks.

Cons

The downside here is the number of users per subscription. I think they should increase the number of users per subscription.

### "Hootsuite Review"

April 7, 2022

5.0

Overall it's been great to use. Big time saver being able to schedule a bunch of posts to go out and to different platforms.

Pros

Time saver scheduling and posting information to social media Allows our small business to be efficient with our social media management Can post to stories on IG Free basic version to try it out Paid version allows to make one post and blast it to several platforms Great tracking of engagements

Cons

Can be overwhelming at first learning the system and how to post. Honestly though, there's not much to dislike. It's relatively easy once you get the hang of it and so worth it.

One of the best tools for Social media marketing! Especially a brand that has multiple social media channels and less workforce.

Pros

Hootsuite is a great social sharing tool. It saves my a lot of time. Scheduling whole week post at one day, and utilizing my time work to other work.

Cons

The price would be a major concern for me.

September 7, 2022

5.0

I used Hootsuite for over 3 years but when the price trebled I moved to another platform.

Pros

One of the best things about Hootsuite is that you can connect multiple accounts and post to all or some of them at the same time. It also had great reporting visualisations and listening tools

Cons

For me it was the limit on accounts v pricing

### "Glitchy features, bit worth the headache overall!"

December 18, 2018

5.0

I use Hootsuite as a small business owner to manage my daily social media content posts.It's an integral took in my workflow and has enabled me to grow my social media presence immensely!

Pros

I love the entire concept of being able to schedule out my social media posts in advance to save me time and sanity! It's a GREAT tool for users with multiple accounts and lots of content to share!

Cons

I HATE that the drafts are never where you can actually find them. I believe this is due to a system upgrade of the way drafts are saved on the platform, (switching from an old format to a newer one), but every time I initiate a post and save it as a draft, I can NEVER find where it's saved. Also, I detest that the Instagram integration won't allow me to post more than 1 image to Instagram. That basically makes this app unusable for posting to IG. Causes a big pain and interruption in my social media management when I have to set an alarm to remember to post my IG content b/c I can't post it through Hootsuite if it has more than 1 image file.

### "Best bang for your buck"

November 24, 2023

4.0

Pros

Nonprofits with a tight budget are looking for the best bang for your buck. I compared several social media scheduling software sites before choosing Hootsuite because it was the most cost effective. Most social media scheduling sites have plans in which more expensive plans allow you to connect more social media accounts. My organization at the time had many accounts to monitor (8+) and Hootsuite offered the best price for our needs. They also allow you to monitor feeds, messages, and content from all the connected accounts so you don't have to log into each account.

Cons

Every so often, you will need to reconnect your social media accounts to Hootsuite. Every few months or so, it loses the connection and requires you to log in again and give Hootsuite posting permissions. You have to monitor notification from Hootsuite closely in case this happens, as scheduled posts will not go out until you reconnect the accounts.

Overall my experience with Hootsuite is awesome

Pros

I am using Hootsuite for my social media marketing for more than 6 months and I am geting good results. With Hootsuite, all I have to do is upload my content and schedule. It will publish on all social media platforms at the right time. Which is getting good engagement. I also can see what people are talking about my brand on different kinds of social media platforms and if they have any questions I can solve them fast which is pretty cool. They also give you 30 days free trials.

Cons

Till now I did not find any cons with Hootsuite.

January 31, 2019

5.0

I can efficiently and effectively manage social media accounts with Hootsuite. Team members and clients can easily edit or add posts because the user interface is very clear and very helpful.

Pros

I absolutely love the scheduling features of Hootsuite. It is simple to create and curate posts across different social media channels and then schedule them to post all at once. No more logging into different social media accounts and posting individually for every single post. Posts centered around special holidays or special client events can be scheduled to post months in advance. This kind of advanced scheduling lets us easily establish a basic framework and outlook of posts for our client's social media accounts.

Cons

I wish Hootsuite had even more automated posting features, but this is more a limitation of the social media websites themselves and not a con with Hootsuite.
