Project Lead at Roche
Centralized planning has boosted campaign reach and simplifies managing multiple social channels
HootSuite is incredibly useful, as scheduling and connection to social accounts makes it much simpler to post and schedule content across social media platforms. There are a few issues with it being somewhat glitchy and the timeline not showing up consistently as of recently, but overall, it is a great product. The best features HootSuite offers include scheduling, posting, connection to social media channels, analytics, and a timeline feature, which has already disappeared, but I hope that it could return. HootSuite also offers a content library to load things as needed. The customer service works great, as if you are having a problem, they address it immediately. HootSuite has been truly useful and helpful in my organization because impressions have increased, there has been an increase in traffic, scheduling has become simpler, and approvals have been excellent.

Pros

"HootSuite is an easy way to get social media posts out, as you're able to upload and schedule posts in the future, which saves time and allows for the continuity of having the same post across various platforms."
"Hootsuite feels like an all-in-one tool; I can publish content on Hootsuite and then answer comments, which is what I do for my customers."
"It has a social media presence outside of the hours people are able to devote to an organization."
"If you are into social media marketing or any other digital media, then you should have knowledge of HootSuite because it is the industry standard that has been helping industry professionals."
"Customer Service: Great. Technical Support: Good."
"We have definitely seen a return on investment in terms of time-saving capabilities, and with five to six different social media channels being handled from a centralized repository or centralized place, we have saved approximately 30% of our overall time."
"HootSuite has an AI engine to suggest trending topics related to our business. The engine works really well and comes up with excellent suggestions for more posts."
"HootSuite has been truly useful and helpful in my organization because impressions have increased, there has been an increase in traffic, scheduling has become simpler, and approvals have been excellent."
"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
 

Cons

"Sometimes we received emails that due to some reasons, posts were not shared automatically. This was also one of the reasons why we left HootSuite."
"Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet."
"The pricing would be great if it were free. It costs $99 per month, which is quite expensive."
"Before choosing HootSuite, I evaluated the sales team, which is acceptable, but I need the legal team, the finance team, and integration about the pipeline, which is not very good."
"Bulk scheduling."
"There are a few issues with it being somewhat glitchy and the timeline not showing up consistently as of recently, but overall, it is a great product."
"The company should reduce the pricing to make it easier for companies to deploy to larger social teams."
"Sometimes the suggestions or the content suggestions that the OwlyWriter AI gives are not up to the mark that we want."
"Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard."
"The product has a security flaw."
"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
