Pros/Cons
Pros
- My overall experience with google alerts is very satisfied and i am enjoying this free of cost service with amazing features for last many years.
- I love google alerts for the fact that it sends my favorite news and scientific articles related to my area of interest, it helps to keep me updated.
- I like how easy it is to use Google alerts and how they help me keep an eye on important industry players and news with their reports, which are conveniently delivered to my email.
Cons
- The bad thing is that there comes a point where notifications are too many and it becomes annoying, and more when one wants to sleep.
- Well, sometimes you do not receive notifications and this is embarrassing.
- The least feature of this software would be data, which is not always complete specially with press mentions are missed most often.
Pros
- The ability to schedule multiple posts for multiple social media platforms was great. Perfect if you manage multiple Social Medias for the same organization.
- The best thing that I like about Hootsuite is analytics. The analytics provided by Hootsuite is very detailed and helpful.
- The application is more than wonderful. It's one of the best experiences I've ever had and it's still.
Cons
- Regardless, use caution if you choose to utilize Hootsuite. Poorcustomerservice #hootsuite #socialmarketing #marketingandadvertising #marketingcommunications #bad #poor.
- It doesn't have many features that aren't included in a given social media platform's native scheduling app, and in many cases it's actively worse due to a lack of proper licensure.
- I don't like when you are switching back and forth from planner to content you loose your spot in the planner and have to search for the day you were on.
