Overall, I'm satisfied with Hootsuite and will continue to use this platform to manage my social media accounts. With the ability to schedule up to 30 posts on the free plan, including scheduling Instagram posts, and viewing different social media accounts all on one dashboard, it beats other social media management platforms that require plan upgrades to access similar features.

As someone who uses Hootsuite's "Free" plan, I'm incredibly impressed by what Hootsuite offers in the plan. My favorite tool on Hootsuite is the "Streams." I can sort scheduled posts, past posts, mentions, and followers' posts by social media platform using "Streams" on my dashboard. This allows me to see responses or comments on my posts and engage with followers, without having to visit several social media sites. With the free version, I can also schedule more posts on social media than other social media management programs, and the free plan allows me to schedule posts on my business Instagram account.

"Free plan" users who are needing advanced features beyond basic analytics will need to upgrade and if they shorten links using TinyUrl or Bitly, there isn't a meaningful way to track engagement in the program. Also, users need to be aware that the connections between Hootsuite and social media networks frequently drop, and that the program's connection with Instagram is frequently buggy.

As the number of social media users grows, Hootsuite has become an indispensable part of business operations. It integrates with tens of social networks and has a 30-day free trial. It is easy to use and affordable. With millions of users, it's easy to see why Hootsuite has millions of users. It's no wonder, then, that it's the number one social media management tool for small businesses.

Hootsuite is a social media management tool with millions of users. It has the advantage of allowing you to view up to five social networks simultaneously, and its easy to use interface lets you easily flick between different social media profiles, campaigns, and customers. However, it does have some limitations.

Though its scheduling capabilities are basic, it does have some useful features. Like its ability to monitor key terms and hashtags, Hootsuite helps you grow your social media presence. Some features are limited, like the inability to bulk-schedule via import. If you're looking for a more advanced solution for your social media marketing strategy, Hootsuite may not be right for you.

Great for social media monitoring but better options out there for scheduling and content management

The software is great for monitoring your social media presence. The feeds you can set up for mentions and comments are great and easy to use. The dashboard is designed very well and easy at a glance to view your feeds. Reporting is also very good. The Hootsuite school is also a great resource. They have great training available.

As good as it is for social media monitoring it lacks for scheduling and organizing your content library. Scheduling is clunky and the display is not great. Not easy to schedule across multiple accounts at the same time. The content library doesn't really exist either. Hey Orca blows them out of the water off ease to make posts and organize your assets.

We’ve been really happy with Hootsuite. It’s shortened the time we have to spend on social media and made the time we do spend on it much more streamlined.

We only use social media because Hootsuite allows us to manage all the different platforms at once. Otherwise we would only use 2 platform or spend a lot more time on it.

I’d really like to have a little more automation options. It’s taken a while to get used to everything but now we’re really happy.

Integration of Canva. The onboarding was really good and they offer a lot of great articles to brush up on Social Media knowledge and the latest trends and functionalities. If you are willing to spend two days going through their blog posts, you can virtually get a very good understanding of social media managament.

No free plan anymore, which made it too expensive for freelance use for one Social Media account only. No integration of LinkedIn, that's why I moved to Later.The user interface was also quite convoluted to use, not as easy and intuitive as other platforms. The analytics didn't really show as much insight as I gained from other platforms.A lot of work has to be done off the platform (keywords, analytics etc.)

I majorly use hootsuite to schedule my LinkedIn posts. Also I have used it to post on Twitter and Instagram. My experience has been great. The editor shows the preview of the post which prevents me from going to Linkedin and seeing how the post appears

There is no option to post carrousel posts. This is very bad as hootsuite is a professional software and should add the option

It was a great experience

Ease of use and the way to display data from different platforms

The need to enter the password more than once

my experience with hootsuite has been positive, a very powerful platform that offers alot of features, it has been a valuable tool fo me in managing my social media accounts, for beginners take a little time so to get used to all its functions ,you will be happy

I must say with the wide range of features it offers, which can be very impactful for businesses that are looking to integrate social media into their existing tools, i personally didn't flinch for the first time with hootsuite it came in right time i needed and perfectly amazing

people may have different opinions on what they dont like about hootsuite, however some answers could be that its expensive, can be overwhelming for beginners or that its not as customizable as some other platforms,

I love that hootsuite allows for post scheduling, I seem to remember them being one of the first platforms to provide this

Integrations were a little difficult to get set up

At my previous job I was using Hootsuite to start my day. I would sign on and schedule and publish posts for the duration of the day, or over the weekend or what have you. More recently, I've been using Hootsuite's free version to manage my personal online presence, scheduling posts related to my podcast or video channels. I find that more recently, the native Twitter app has been better for just scrolling through Twitter, but as far as posting goes, I prefer to use Hootsuite.

One of my favorite things about Hootsuite is the ability to 'autoschedule' posts based on the time that you're likely to receive the most engagement. This takes a lot of the guesswork out of the job of a social media manager, as you can tend to labor over the details like whether or not something is emergent enough to post right now or whether you should wait to schedule it in the future. I find Hootsuite's customizable streams can be helpful in mitigating a lot of the noise that comes along with social media, but constant algoritm and UI updates to platforms like Twitter can make streams obsolete quickly. The platform is super simple to get set up and running with, and the free version (which I'm currently using for my personal accounts/projects) is perfectly serviceable for teams with 3 social accounts or fewer. I've never had to reach out to support, but Hootsuite's online presence is great and they're constantly providing materials that are helpful to social media managers.

I find their integration with Instagram somewhat lacking. During my time with Hootsuite, I have scheduled countless Instagram posts, but the way the marriage between Instagram and Hootsuite Works means that you can schedule the post, but you need to open the app on your phone and hit send when the time comes to actually publish your post. I have missed so many Instagram posts because of this, and the fact that I only appear to get a notification when It's time to post on Instagram about half the time. I realize that this isn't necessarily all Hootsuite's fault, but this is a real downer, and leaves me wishing that the integration was better

Overall the product has served us well; we're still using it daily and are able to plan campaigns around our scheduling abilities, we're able to connect directly with our customers and assigned potential customer service issues within our team with a few clicks. Over time however, social platforms are getting savvy to the needs of businesses are starting to build out their own business tools and scheduling/performance analytics hubs (Facebook Business and Twitter for Business for one). It remains to be seen how Hootsuite will compete with free as the platforms begin to grow this part of their businesses.

Social Post Scheduling is the raison d'etre for Hootsuite and it does it effectively and with lots of options including custom tagging for your analytics platform. If you're only interested in being able to schedule and post to multiple social media channels, this is the first place to look.

The pricing and tiers no longer make sense as many of their competitors are offering similar/better scheduling and posting options at a lower price (or free with limitations). In 2022, Instagram post scheduling shouldn't be an exclusive feature.

Overall, Hootsuite provides a single place to monitor multiple social media platforms, create branded and consistent marketing campaigns, schedule content in advance with easy oversight, and get insights into content performance.

Hootsuite is a great way to set up a multi channel dashboard to have greater oversight of your social media channels. I appreciate that it covers all the major platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

At this point in time, users can't directly publish content to the Facebook and Instagram stories, which are major marketing tools. Where as you can pre schedule traditional posts, it's not an option for stories.

Great and most reliable service available, although the most restrictive for free users.

Hootesuite is highly reliable and I can schedule posts and forget knowing they will go out on time every time. Simple to use with one of the best post editing I've used on mobile.

Hootesuite has a problem dragging images out of websites when sharing web pages.

It was good and it worked smoothly (on a self serving mode)

The ready to integrate plugin to add 3rd party services is a great feature to extend the usability.

Poor customer support and longer TAT on query resolution
