I love Autopilot journeys and campaigns. I like the way how you onboard new users.

Excellent, their customer service provides just that. They are knowledgeable and very responsive.

I loved how easy it was to create a campaign and get a feel for what was going to happen and when. A fantastic tool for starting out.

The software needs more integrations to be built. Right now they integrate with very limited number of applications which can be a challenge syncing data across platforms.

Great platform, easy to learn and use, engaging for the team, awesome customer support, truly helpful content.

A great tool, with great visual cues, powerful automation and integrations.

It's very easy to understand and to set up. There a lot of connections with other platforms such ad Google Ads Facebook and CRMs.

The visual journey builder is amazing. I tried all of the different marketing automation tools and AutoPilot was the clear winner.

I think the ideal scenario is for small and medium businesses with growing marketing teams, especially since their cost becomes much more accessible than applications like Marketo.

It gave us sophisticated contact-tracking, marketing automation and Salesforce integration inside of a pleasant UI with tools that were easy to understand.

After contacting AutoPilot multiple times, they refused to acknowledge how ridiculous this was. Instead they recommended to.

However, it's also super powerful. We've pluged in Salesforce, several different databases, and our customer support system, and using the fun shapes on the Journeys page.

We've used Autopilot for about a year now at Golden Gate Wine Co. in Hong Kong. We found it easy to use, flexible and rich in ways to segment, reach, follow-up and gain customers.

Autopilot has done an amazing job of making the building of the workflows collaborative as well.

The email, CRM, Slack integrations are all easy to set up and use as well.

We use Autopilot for Marketing Automation, this is really helpful in building the flows and defining the communication. This can easily be the all in one tool.

I've used others before, including Infusionsoft, MailChimp, and Intercom - Autopilot is a great product, with an attractive price point, that offers just the right amount of features, in my opinion.

After one year with this app, I found only one thing that makes me mad - preview is much different than the real email.

AutoPilot is an amazing piece of software, it just works and works well. They achieve exactly what they promise and it is a joyful user experience.

You’ve lost us as customers, because it’s utterly absurd how much of our time and money you wasted over such a short-sighted pricing policy.

Autopilot is really good to get you thinking about user journeys and how your customers should be getting information through your funnel.

The ease of implementation and ability for multiple team members to access the account is a huge plus. The scheduling process is very easy and intuitive.

The built-in analytics is a nice feature for a quick glance at the reach of multiple posts. They are continually updating with changing APIs and the new Campaign feature looks promising.

Easy to use, great customer service, simple, great free option, app and desktop website work great together.

Great for quickly pushing out a variety of content. Clear and relatively easy to use.

Using Instagram with any social media scheduling app can be a pain and Buffer is no exception to this rule.

The pricing structure for Buffer is great, and they honor legacy pricing while still passing along the upgrades that normally come with price hikes.

Integration with BulkBuffer. All of this has made Buffer a win win for me.

Overall we are very pleased with this software. For the price and what it is able to do, it's a great addition to our social media tool kit.

Sometimes errors occur when scheduling a post and it is unpublished, which leads me to redo the work. What a terrible experience.

Additionally, there have been connectivity issues where social accounts randomly get disconnected or an error occurs with publishing a post.

I am so grateful that Buffer gave me a clearer view of our gaps with Social Media and I can have the peace of mind knowing when posts are scheduled in advanced.

Terrible UI and terrible performance I have repeated contacted them and still the software stops working on Macbook pro having to reload 3 times in a hour.

For some reason from time to time you need to re-connect some social media platforms, as the connection to your profiles got lost.

It limits the number of posts you can store. It was also a pain to get it connected to the business Instagram account at first.

Excellent customer service and value for money. Plus, I love their blog, they actually practice what they preach.

I love Buffer and use it constantly for social media posting. Its easy to use and works great.

Great tool at the best price. If you are a community manager this tool can help you boost your productivity like no other.

Buffer is an amazing tool for entrepreneurs to stay on top of their social media marketing and strategies.

Overall, it's a great platform for social media management. There are some other applications out there that offer more and offer a better price.

Buffer was great to use but it's not worth it's price. There are so many cheaper options with much better customer support.

Buffer is super, super easy to use and it's workflow makes management totally easy.

Nice, clean design; easy to use; are able to schedule our social media posts for weeks ahead all at once; offers nice analytics.

The social integrations fail quite a bit. I blame that partly on the social channels, themselves, but I don't like to login and see that my last 5 posts failed to publish.

I cannot say how much I love apps that allow me to save time and manage all my content from one place - this is why I love Buffer.

The fact that you can use this integration with your browser to just click and buff articles and content onto various social media channels makes it amazing.

My experience with Buffer has been nothing short of easy and amazing. I would recommend it to any small business who want to make sure they are reminded to post on their socials.
