I think it has been an important tool for us to schedule our content and understand how they are performing. It's annual report (a sum of all SM platforms performance) is absolutely amazing. A touch pricey, but highly recommended.

Pros

The ease of use. Very nice userflow. Impressive Dashboards. Easy to schedule and manage your content. Very nice analytics report. Their free educational resources are very helpful as well!

Cons

It is expensive. Also, one needs to reconnect the SM accounts as it tends to disconnect every now and then. Can't tag Instagram accounts while scheduling.

More features, for sure. Goes beyond Instagram and Facebook. Their analytics and performance reports are amazing.

I really enjoy Hootsuite. Inserting a video/image and then writing some content for whichever accounts you select, and it's done! No more getting up on Christmas morning and logging into my laptop to post Merry Christmas. It just happens on its own!

Pros

I love the fact that I can add my social media platforms to the system and pick and choose which ones I want to use for a posting. Then I can schedule things for months easily! I wish it was cheaper, but it is comparable to other services that are out there. I would highly recommend it!

Cons

One thing that aggravates me is that my Instagram account seems to become disconnected on a regular basis. Just IG, none of the others. It's easy to fix, but just an unnecessary hiccup.

I had used it previously in a different company. I was looking for something that was less expensive but they were all about the same. I went with what I knew.

We switched away from Hootsuite!

Reviewed on 2024/04/30

Pros

We used to like Hootsuite, it has a nice UI and UX but simply lacks features that we need to maintain our social media presence.

Cons

The cost of the software. So much software out there offers the same platform with more features for less.

I can do other activities without having to worry about the content on social networks, easy and simple to manage, managing to have satisfied customers

Pros

Hootsuite is a really useful tool that saves time and provides opportunities for better performance with strategies that have been successful when scheduling posts, it knows the most opportune moment for posts to have a greater reach and greater views to the public, achieving the achievement of goals, you can have a perfect follow-up of each post by keeping track of statistics. Its operation reduces work time at the time I do not have to be aware of the time or moment indicated to make posts on social networks with its programming I can establish the type of content to publish and Hootsuite takes care of the rest

Cons

For the moment there has never been anything that bothers me or has gone wrong
