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.

Hootsuite Likes & Dislikes

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

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

It is great for beginners to more frequent social media account managers! The social media analytics and social listening capabilities help you to become a more experienced social media specialist and make better decision makers. The new AI content creation feature is very helpful and makes muy life easier so I can make quick decisions and push the posts out faster for our brand to be more interactive.

The pricing remains much higher compared to other planners

Lack of support and simple reporting.

The costing is a bit higher now but still doable within our budget.

A SMMs Honest Review of Hootsuite's Social Post Scheduling Suite

Aug 7, 2024

Our biggest challenges with Hootsuite as a social post scheduling tool is that it didn't have the ease-of-use that we were looking for that we'd found in tools that we used previously. We also did not love the fact that the shortened links are always turned into 'owl.ly' links - it didn't look professional.
