Great Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Allows you to schedule social media posts
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the scheduling within Facebook does not work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to schedule posts really saves you time. You also can see your audience engagement via analytics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are not a technical person, Hootsuite is perfect for you. Easy to use, and does not require a previous skill-set to figure it out. I have experienced some glitches with Facebook, but it has improved over time. I usually double check to make sure the Facebook posts have posted, and they do 95% of the time.
Not my favorite Social posting
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you are able to easily add pretty much all of your social accounts to this and monitor a massive bulk load of them. I also like how you can get a nice look at what will be sent out on what day and what accounts will be posting that day.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the biggest problems I have with this account is that the social media accounts always get disconnected. There is not a week that goes by that I do not have to go in and upload one of my social accounts. I also hate that you are not able to post to instagram through here. I get that it is a API problem, but there are other social accounts out there that are able to post for you so I wish it could be a new update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage a high level amount of social accounts from Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Instagram and more and it is incredibly hard to post it all manually or even schedule it to be posted on the social platform it's self.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would look for something else that gives you more options. Right now I am using SocialDraft. It is better than Hootsuite, but still not amazing
Hootsuite
What do you like best about the product?
Easy management of different social media accounts
What do you dislike about the product?
The application can be cluttered and difficult to quickly determine what is scheduled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to use, customizable to the number of social media accounts you use, helps us keep engaged with our audience.
Strong Social Media Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy to ability to jump between social platform and the ease of monitoring stream.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a very much a self taught tool and takes time to learn features and functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media management all in one place. Saving time, better resource to monitor multiple channels.
Good tool for organizing and scheduling
What do you like best about the product?
The calendar feature where you can plan and schedule a social media campaign and see it all in one place. Also the fact that there is a free version.
What do you dislike about the product?
I gets a bit confusing when multiple users are placing posts on the same calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are now able to be more consistent with our posting and see where we have holes in the schedule which should be filled.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free version if you have just a few social sites and then expand to the paid version as needed.
Pretty good for a free system
What do you like best about the product?
It provides a quick and easy way for me to track Twitter mentions of both my company and my competitors, from a single view.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a company that doesn't have a huge social media presence, Hootsuite's free version really does anything that you need it to do. I was previously a bit annoyed that its short URLs were getting longer, but now Twitter has upped its character limit, it's less of a concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It streamlines the process of social media tracking and competitive intelligence.
Excellent management tool
What do you like best about the product?
the extension of Hootlet for the ease to share and program content that is in the network.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to post directly on Instagram from Hootsuite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me publish a lot of content on various social networks, without the need to log in at all.
Following hashtags for a specific location is another benefit

Define your Hootsuite usage objectives well.
Useful, but can be difficult to understand
What do you like best about the product?
Overall, Hootsuite is very useful if you are controlling multiple social media platforms at once. It makes it convenient to manage Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc in one place rather than switching between all the platforms to post content.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface can be a bit complicated to understand and get the hang of. Currently I am still trying to get the best grasp on the program, but with anything practice makes perfect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business problem I have solved is not being able to schedule post for Instagram. Although I still have to log in and manually post the content anyways, unlike Facebook, it has made it easier so I do not have to create the content when it needs to be posted, I can just go in and post.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared to put in enough effort to get familiar with the program so you can best utilize it to the full potential it has.
Simple, easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
What we like the best about Hootsuite is that it it is an easy to use platform. I especially like that does not over complicate the process. This certainly makes it better for our people to understand. They are able to quickly adopt the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
What we dislike about Hootsuite is that in some cases there are limited capabilities. It would be great to have more even more tracking available for our posts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business problem that we are solving with Hootsuite is ability to plan out social media posts without having to attend to it every day. This saves significant time for our administrators. It also helps us strategically plan content. We also love the analytics feature, although we believe it could be more comprehensive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend to others considering Hootsuite to make sure that they are conscious of the implementation. It is important to get it set up right the first time. I would also encourage them to explore more of the analytics side, as this can be very very valuable for a business.
One thing for Hootsuite to consider for their future strategy is having an algorithm that suggests future content or searches through the Twitter or LinkedIn platform for content that relates to the content and thematic that the company itself is portraying.
It would be great to also add in a service to consult and help the company improve their posts!

Save time and get the word out
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and saves so much time.
I would have never been able to have a preserve over the Christmas holidays if it wasn't for Hootsuite.
I was able to plan all of my posts before leaving for vacation and had no attention whatsoever on my internet presence because I know it was handled.

What do you dislike about the product?
Instagram sometimes has some bugs.
From time to time when I get the notice on my phone to post it doesn't include the hashtags that were programmed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This was the only way I was able to figure out how to post things to instagram without having the picture on my phone but rather something I had prepared using Canva.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to double check before hitting send for something that is scheduled and not sent right away.
I have prepared things in the evening for a week in advance and although I wanted them to go out in the morning some were sent in the evening due to my oversight.
