Pros / Cons
- Love how I can just queue all my posts at once and don’t touch them again, it makes my weekly planning way easier and I can cover all platforms from one screen.
- Preview doesn’t always match final post, analytics are basic unless you upgrade, support takes a while, kinda slow with new features

- It streamlined our content posting and basic campaign tracking, saving us from having to manually check on them all the time and helping coordinate tech support responses via the inbox.
- One thing I don’t love about Hootsuite is that it can feel a bit clunky sometimes, especially when switching between accounts or navigating certain features.
