“Hootsuite Simplifies Social Listening and Content Sharing With Intuitive Features”

5.0
Feb 6, 2026
Hootsuite provides a robust visual platform to view multiple owned channels and platforms. I have particularly liked how it is an intuitive platform for new users to easily get acclimated to the functionality. The social listening aspect is also really helpful because it scans earned media and allows us to effectively tailor our future messages into exactly what our audience wants to hear.

Performance of Hootsuite Across Market Features

Hootsuite Likes & Dislikes

Like

The amplify feature is a great way to build employee advocacy across owned channels. This allows us to curate content that has been approved according to brand standards and guidelines so that employees can simply share with a single click. This is especially helpful when you have a large organization with a great number of field-based employees, it can be difficult to ensure we are all delivering a consistent message. Hootsuite has given us a great platform to do that!

Like

The platform was easy to use and made training other members simple and fast.

Like

I want to say everything, but overall the fact that planning is now so much easier than before!

Dislike

The cost can be high if you don't have enough media channels to justify it.

Dislike

Lack of support and simple reporting.

Dislike

The pricing remains much higher compared to other planners

    I really do enjoy working with Hootsuite. Very easy and user-friendly. There are various reports to choose from and the calendar section is my absolute favorite. Planning has gotten so much better since we implemented Hootsuite.

    Jan 20, 2025
    I really enjoy the simplicity of the UI design and ease of use. It was one of the first products out there that allowed us to manage our social media accounts and is still one of our top choices! Definitely makes planning and publishing posts a more streamlined experience - a Marketing assistant all team need!

    Hootsuite is a useful social media application to use with a good clear layout and fantastic cross-platform compatibility. Due to this slow reporting it is not suitable for reporting situations where real-time data reporting is required.
