Reliable and powerful
Been using it for years and never looked around for alternatives. I think this sums up my experience pretty well, although my needs are pretty basic
PROSBuffer has been easy to set up and to learn to operate, it covered all my basic needs for years and never had me looking around for alternatives. It’s always been reliable (which is the most important thing in my opinion) and never felt overwhelming or confusing despite having a real lot of capabilities
CONSThe web interface could be perfectioned a bit maybe, but it’s just a minor complaint. The mobile app is very good though!
Reason for choosing Buffer
Easier, cheaper and more scalable for my prospective needs

Buffer is a bare-bones alternative to it's competitors
Buffer is great for posting directly to social media without having to log into each platform to manage your accounts. IT has a very reasonable price point for the services that it provides.
PROSBuffer is easy to use for scheduling and posting to social media. It has saved us a lot of time compared to posting directly to each social media platform. The pricing structure for Buffer is great, and they honor legacy pricing while still passing along the upgrades that normally come with price hikes.
CONSThe tracking and analytics are a bit lackluster when compared to Hootsuite. I would like to see the ability to monitor and respond to replies and comments directly from the app, too.
Reason for choosing Buffer
Price was the determining factor
Reasons for switching to Buffer
The price point was remarkably lower than Hootsuite.

It is a basic but essential tool for social network programming
We utilize Buffer to coordinate our company's presence across numerous social media platforms. We can upload all of our content by using it to schedule the publication calendar. Content is reviewed and approved by the user's permission level. Using Buffer, we can see at a glance whether or not we have scheduled too much or too little material across all of our social media channels. I have used Buffer for about three years, and it has helped me a lot in my work; also, its cost could be a lot higher, and being a very intuitive tool, it represents a good investment. It is very suitable for anyone, whether a professional or a beginner; it works very well for small, medium, or large companies; it is ideal for people who want to edit an image for a publication on social networks.
PROSIt's a fantastic platform for social media management with many helpful features (including adding text to images before posting them on social media) and helpful customer service (including the possibility to schedule posts in advance across multiple channels). It has a straightforward design that makes it easy to get up and running. And let's remember its review system, enabling us to check articles for coherence well before publication.
CONSFixing the problems you have when you try to contact users and when users try to respond would be a big step in the right direction.
