Several positions I have had used Hootsuite - always effective and helpful!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can schedule posts for the future - it allows you to not have to worry about your consistency! I also like that it works across platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really, not much - though the interface can be a little confusing at the beginning. It would be helpful to have some kind of tutorial before beginning on using the interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of having to carve out time (or even new personnel!) for posting on social media. This allows one person to use one hour to ensure a social media presence instead of having to hire a social media person full-time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you're given adequate time and instruction to navigate the homepage.
Good but not great
What do you like best about the product?
Design isn't bad, but still a bit outdated, the concept and the fact that it saves us community managers lots of time.
Great analytics help you stay on top of everything you're sharing.

What do you dislike about the product?
The solution is pretty expensive for what it really is. Unless you're a huge company who's heavily reliant on social media exposure, this solution isn't really for you.

Helps you stop on top of things, analyze your numbers and establish a better strategy to communicate with your target market.
Easy and affordable social media Managment
What do you like best about the product?
The scheduling of posts is super easy and intuitive with Hootsuite. Their post creator is easy to use, formats posts properly, and allows easy scheduling
What do you dislike about the product?
Recently we have lost our ability to interact with Instagram posts directly from hootsuite which is a little disappointing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to create and manage consistent social media posts for my company without constantly needing to log in to each account and manually create a post.
A good social media tool
What do you like best about the product?
Complete set of social media management and analytics tools fit into a tidy, attractive user interface. Affordable. Powerful monitoring. Efficient identification of influencers. Lots of integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Add-ons get expensive quickly. Most powerful features reserved for enterprise plans. Publishing and curation features could be more intuitive.

Social media scheduling and analytics
Great tool for managing all your social media accounts in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and schedule posts to all our social media accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Analytics seem to differ from what the individual social media pages report.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to save time by having all our social media accounts in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend using Hootsuite for social media management and monitoring.
Great social media management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
A reasonably priced social media tool! You're able to select a plan that best fits your needs, there is a 30-day free trial, supports plenty of social networks, and allows for bulk scheduling!
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to other platforms (sendible), it's missing other items like CRM and lead generating tool. But if you're looking purely for social media management, it more than serves its purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are more efficient due to bulk scheduling and it allows us to gain insights on the audience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Utilize the free trial!
Hootsuite is a great social media monitoring and management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Hoostsuite is a great tool to use for analyzing social media engagement and monitoring social media feeds from one centralized location.
The ability to view an inbox, wall/timeline and posts at the same time is genius. Not sure why other tools dont have this.
The all in one dashboard allows you to integrate different profiles as well as inboxes (DMs), walls or timelines, posts and mentions. This was really helpful to have a complete overview from one screen without having to click through multiple screens.
For what its worth, the bulk post uploading feature was helpful especially when trying to schedule content weeks ahead. All you had to do was use the CSV file and upload, very helpful for bulk uploading.

What do you dislike about the product?
Content Scheduling tools were not as great as we expected. For example, uploading an image for a post would sometimes result in a link being posted, not the actual image.
Other features like Social ads did not work for us, when we did use them the results did not pan out as when we used the proprietary ad buying tools for social media networks.
Some of the Hootsuite apps did not work as advertised, it made us feel like they are just afterthoughts and not actual useful apps.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a centralized way to see all our social media accounts and also wanted to be able to upload multiple posts at a given time. Hootsuite allowed us to monitor our social media feeds with a centralized all in one panel that covered both posts, inboxes and mentions across the various social media channels.
This helped us plan our social media marketing better to know where our customers were and what they were saying about us.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are going to use Hootsuite, you may need to use proprietary management tools as well to monitor your social media better. As a social media posting tool, Hootsuite could be better, but it is definitely a good tool for social media monitoring.
Great way to Schedule Social Media
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use on both the paid and the free platforms is well done.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version has a bit too many ads, etc making it only a good choice for small bands or companies not ready to really take on the "influencer" level of social media.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use hootsuite to schedule posts for my part time small business--I hope to be able to be fulltime with the connections that I make with my target audience by having consistent brand media.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a good starting point to develop your brand
Hootsuite is incredibly easy to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite has a lot of perks, but the key highlight for me was that the platform is easy to understand and navigate. It was easy to jump in right away and figure out how to work the platform on the fly. I like the option to choose what sections I see on my dashboard, and the option to edit my dashboard whenever I choose.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like that article pictures were not guaranteed to pull through in the post. It left me looking for some to include last minute. I would prefer to see a preview of every post, but Hootsuite mainly pulls previews of LinkedIn posts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Heading a public company's social media presence can be very time consuming, and at times, a little stressful. Hootsuite is perfect for easily managing scheduled posts, especially when you feel like there is a lot in the pipeline. Hootsuite allows you to manage all accounts in one location, which makes it easy to plan and schedule posts as far in advance as you'd like. This makes it a lot easier to organize posts, this really helped that I could see the posts going out on each platform side by side before they went live. I love that I can manage and monitor all social media accounts through one platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Hootsuite is a great option for someone looking to easy organize, monitor and manage multiple social media platforms at once.
User Friendly Social Media Management Program
What do you like best about the product?
I think the best part about Hootesuite is how customizable the program is. It is so easy to get everything that is the most important, all on one screen. The other huge benefit with Hootesuite is that it is cheap! In terms of social media management programs, Hootesuite definitely has the most to offer, at the cheapest price.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think one of the things that I struggle with Hootesuite a little bit is the difficulty with seeing notifications. While I can see all of the social media channels that I need on one screen, I do not feel as though the notifications appear easy enough, I still end up having Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter all open so that I can make sure that I am not missing anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the biggest business problems we are solving with Hootesuite is the current lack of a social media strategy. Hootesuite allows me to get everything that needs to go onto social all in one place and lined up so that I just ensure everything is posted in a timely manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend Hootesuite as a program to use if you don't have much of a budget to spend on social media management. Becuase they have a non-paid version, you can still do a lot of good work in Hootesuite, for very little money. I would say that you should spend the time to learn it, the platform has a lot of capabilities, and if you learn them all you will be able to do a lot with it.
