Owner Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful, Time-Saving Social Media Solution for Serious Users" October 31, 2024 4.0 Overall, Hootsuite has been an invaluable tool for managing my social media presence. It provides a powerful suite of features that streamline planning, scheduling, and analytics, which has allowed me to stay on top of content with ease. While the learning curve and cost may be considerations, especially for new users, the time saved and the value added make Hootsuite an excellent investment in my social media strategy. Pros The ability to streamline all my social media accounts into one easy-to-navigate dashboard is a game-changer. Scheduling content across multiple platforms saves hours each week, and Hootsuite’s analytics provide deep insights that help improve my strategy. It’s perfect for handling the social presence of a growing brand or small business, giving me all the tools I need in one place. Cons The pricing for premium features feels a bit steep, especially for small businesses or independent users who don’t need all the bells and whistles. The dashboard can also feel a bit crowded at times, which makes it challenging for new users to get comfortable. Finally, customer support could be more responsive, as it sometimes takes a while to get help when you need it.

While Buffer and Later are great for scheduling, they don’t offer the same level of analytics and multi-platform support. Sprout Social was also a consideration, but Hootsuite’s pricing and user-friendly interface suited my needs better. Review Source KB Kristen B.

Marketing Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product for social media management" December 3, 2024 5.0 Hootsuite is a great product and a staple in my marketing tools. Pros Hootsuite makes posting and monitoring mulitple social media channels achievable with tight time constraints. Cons Occassionally individual channels can be out of action on Hootsuite however, this generally seems to be temperamental. Review Source Basanta T. owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " Social Media Management for Cafes" December 9, 2024 5.0 Overall, my experience with Hootsuite for managing a cafe's social media has been positive.The analytics feature allows tracking customer engagement, so we can adjust our social media strategies accordingly. Pros I liked most about Hootsuite is its ability to manage multiple social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) from one dashboard, allowing easy scheduling of posts like menu updates, promotions, or event announcements. Cons For a cafe, what I liked least about Hootsuite is its cost, which can be high for small businesses Review Source mK mohamed K. Electrical and Instruments Engineer Maritime Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Efficient Social Media Management with Hootsuite" November 3, 2024 4.0 My overall experience with Hootsuite has been positive. It simplifies social media management, improves efficiency, and offers robust analytics, though it can be complex and expensive. Pros Hootsuite's best feature is its ability to manage multiple social media accounts from one place, with excellent scheduling and analytics tools. Cons Hootsuite's biggest drawbacks are its high cost and occasional performance issues, like slow loading times. The interface can feel complicated at first. Review Source Chitrang S. Software Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great tool for social media management" October 13, 2024 4.0 It has been a great software and a game-changer for the marketing and analytics teams. It saves a lot of time and effort in posting content on multiple platforms. Its in-depth analysis has helped our team expand our reach and business. Pros It is a great and efficient scheduler for my posts across various social media platforms. It has an interactive user-interface, which helps do the work efficiently. Using its intelligence, the software also informs me the right time to post my content to enhance the user-engagement. Customer support is also good and prompt. It also offers an in-depth post analytics, for proper insights. Cons The pricing, in my opinion, is on the higher side, as compared to what its competitors are offering. Its posting feature on Instagram needs to be improved, otherwise it is a great tool Review Source SS Shawna S. Business Development and Marketing Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Glitches frequently, issues with scheduled posts was frequent" April 18, 2025 3.0 My overall experience with Hootsuite was below average. It left much to be desired in terms of user experience. Pros What I liked most about Hootsuite was the ability to try to schedule social media posts across multiple platforms. Cons What I liked least about Hootsuite was its glitchyness. So many issues with size of images it would accept and lack of peace of mind they would post successfully. Review Source SR Skyler R. Freelance Social Media Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for those who want to pay! " October 26, 2024 5.0 I wish Hootsuite had kept the limited free plan and I would have kept using it. However, once the price changed, it wasn't worth the money when I could get similar functionality from Later for much less. Pros Easy to use social media manager Love that it connects with so many different social platforms such as Threads and Google My Business Cons The price. There used to be a free forever plan but when that changed, it would be too expensive per month to keep. It's expensive compared to other social media schedulers. Review Source aS amit S. Team Lead Program Development Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " Efficient Social Media Scheduling" November 14, 2024 5.0 It makes it easy to plan social content in advance, saving time for busy marketers. Pros I scheduled all my posts for the week in one go, freeing up more time to focus on content creation. Cons Sometimes it takes a few extra clicks to update scheduled posts, which could be more streamlined. Review Source SM Samantha M. Business Development Manager Veterinary Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Hootsute and Analytics" April 8, 2025 5.0 Pros easy to use for all of our locations and I can schedule and review all analytics Cons There has not been anything so far that I have found to dislike Review Source NB Nicole B. Book Coach and Editor Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hard to see the value for small businesses" December 6, 2024 2.0 It was easy and convenient when I was able to use it casually, but it's not a product for people like me anymore. Pros Hootsuite was great when it had a limited, but permanent free tier for small business and personal users who didn't need advanced social media account management tools or were infrequent posters. I found it easy to schedule posts both from the app and my computer. Cons The price makes it absolutely unaffordable for small businesses, freelancers and people just starting out. Maybe for people/businesses who post multiple times a day there's some value in the time saved, but for folks who only want to post a couple times a week, $1,200USD per year means you're paying more than $10 per post. It seems like Hootsuite only wants a particular type of user, and small businesses ain't it. Review Source AJ Alfredo J. Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the social cms to benchmark at. " January 30, 2025 4.0 It works, it is stable and has good relationships with the social media platforms so you can trust it to work. But don’t expect it to do much more than what’s expected of these tools. Pros It’s a standard tool we measure other social cms to. So it has all the basic functions for keeping your social media in sync. Cons It is staying behind the times compared to tools such as ContentStudio, predis, among others. Review Source KH Krystle H. Accounts Receivable Specialist Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hootsuite great tool, get the upgraded plan" October 31, 2024 4.0 It is a great tool for teams using social media platforms, scheduling, and analytics capabilities which help organize all you social media content Pros It is great for teams, you can assign tasks, track progress, have multiple people working on social media management. It also works on the most popular platforms right now. Cons You have limited functions on the "Basic Plan". Also have experienced some glitchyness on instagram. Review Source RM Rachel M. Digital Campaign Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Too expensive" November 12, 2024 4.0 Hootsuite works well for scheduling and managing social media. Pros It's easy to see all my social media accounts in one place. I can schedule posts ahead of time. Cons It's missing some features that would be helpful. It needs better integration with some platforms, like Instagram. Review Source AF A. F. Entrepreneur Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Less than favorable customer service..." October 6, 2024 3.0 For the amount that Hootsuite charges the services became less than favorable to say the least. There are so many other platforms offering the same services making it ridiculous to deal with Hootsuites lack of customer service. Pros I liked the Hootsuite calendar tools and the ability to streamline my social media activity. Cons Hootsuite failed to offer reliable customer service. I had issues with billing and they repeatedly failed to remedy the flaws in their system. Review Source SC Stefano C. Marketing manager Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solid but quite expensive social media management platform" November 20, 2024 4.0 I used this suite for a few months with the aim of improving social media presence, with quite appreciable results. However, the complexity in setting up some analytics functions and the rather high costs of the paid plans, led me to evaluate other simpler and cheaper products. Pros It's a solid social media management platform with team collaboration features. The dashboard's clear and intuitive design and the global view of multiple social media feeds in one place make it very reliable. Cons Paid plans have rather high costs for small businesses compared to main competitors. Some advanced features like analytics or integrations may take time to practice. Review Source CS Connor S. Brokerage Operations Associate Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for scheduling content ahead" November 29, 2024 4.0 We have used Hootsuite to post to numerous social media accounts and schedule content well in advance of sharing. Pros We like that you can add all of your social media accounts to your Hootsuite and effectively manage them from one area. Cons We found that the pricing has gotten to be a bit much considering that social media is not a #1 driver of our business model. Review Source BR Bryan R. Marketing Director Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Social Tool for smaller businesses" September 12, 2024 4.0 Enjoy the platform and used it pretty frequently. Pros I like that it has a lot a features without costing as much as others Cons There are still some features lacking like reporting, listening, etc. Alternatives considered [Sprout Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/121447/Sprout-Social/)[Agorapulse](https://www.capterra.com/p/123971/Agorapulse/)[Later Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/152254/Later/) Reason for choosing Hootsuite Pricing was better than the others, but we've since moved to a different platform that costs more but has added features we wanted. Review Source AE Aaron E. Account Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust social media management with a price tag." September 15, 2024 4.0 Hootsuite is excellent for managing multiple social media profiles and gaining valuable insights, but it may be too expensive for individuals, freelancers, and small businesses. Pros Hootsuite allowed us to schedule posts across multiple platforms, providing analytics and insights to track the post performance. Cons The cost was high, starting at $99 per month, that is why we changed to another service. Alternatives considered [Buffer](https://www.capterra.com/p/143492/Buffer/)[Woofy](https://www.capterra.com/p/191996/Woofy/) Reason for choosing Hootsuite Curious to try alternatives to discover what platform worked best for us. Review Source CH Charlotte H. Editorial Operations Associate Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product for multiple social accounts" September 27, 2024 4.0 For multiple social media accounts this is a must. It saves so much time and I think is worth the price point. Pros The dashboard is fairly intuitive, you can manage platforms together -- Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn at the same time, e.g. Being able to plan posts ahead is a fantastic feature and links up really well with the content calendar. Cons The free plan seems quite limited and the pricing structure seems irregular. I could also say that it took some time to get used to the interface, it can seem quite clunky to start with but I think it's still the most practical approach. Review Source DP Dana P. Hospital Marketing Manager and Supervisor Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Another Little Bird is Taking Care Of It All" September 19, 2024 5.0 Our hospital uses Hootsuite to manage every single one of our social media channels. We are constantly updating various channels for client education as well as regular updates on "What's New" in our hospital and Hootsuite has been the fastest way to keep up on a regular schedule. Pros Its an easy way to manage our entire hospital's social media channels and run it through the chain of command and it allows us extra time to work on additional projects! It integrates with every main social media outlet we use. Cons The only negative I have is the pricing.. its on the higher side for sure but I would say its worth the price since I am saving so much more time! Review Source NC Nicole C.
