Unified communication has reduced global calling costs and supports organized departmental workflows
The best features that DIGITAL CX offers are making international calls, the chat functionality, and the fax capability. We still use fax as some institutions require fax documentation to be sent to us. Adding users is very easy, and the setup is straightforward. The support from RingCentral is exceptional. The international calling capabilities and low costs are outstanding. DIGITAL CX has positively impacted my organization through cost reduction. Currently, we do not assign direct lines to most users. We have very few direct lines, and the cost is much lower by simply creating extensions and only authorizing certain users to make international calls. Last year we started making the adjustment, and we reduced costs from 4,000 dollars to 2,000 dollars in just a couple of months.

Consistent scheduling has amplified our global branding and simplified weekly content sharing
HootSuite does a good job at what it does, and I didn't have any issues with it. If I had to think about one thing that could make my experience even better, the interface on the iOS version could be a bit smoother and things could be more visible, but other than that, it works fine.

Pros

"DIGITAL CX has positively impacted my organization through cost reduction; last year we started making the adjustment, and we reduced costs from 4,000 dollars to 2,000 dollars in just a couple of months."
"RingCentral has a good implementation of voice over IP and is easy to use, enabling a range of VoIP functions."
"The best features HootSuite offers in my experience are the pipeline and the order status."
"One of the best things about HootSuite is their clear UX design that is easy to navigate around the platform, and also to see the social media calendar of the clients, so we can see on which channel which post is going when and how the posts look."
"HootSuite has positively impacted my organization quite significantly because we have seen a rise in applications, and I think we won an award for the best branding use of this technology."
"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."
"With the centralized place for us to manage all our customer conversations and all of our social media engagement, HootSuite has helped us save a lot of time."
"HootSuite has positively impacted our organization by making our social presence a lot more consistent and coordinated."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Pricing on RingCentral can be confusing due to numerous surcharges and fees, making it important to consider all fees for a true comparison with other services."
"RingCentral could improve by incorporating more advanced AI functionalities, as Zoom currently has AI integrated across their products."
"I believe DIGITAL CX could be improved by making certain menus easier to find."
"The company should reduce the pricing to make it easier for companies to deploy to larger social teams."
"The biggest improvement area for us in HootSuite would be pricing and scales because it does scale quite quickly once we have a few more social profiles or team members added."
"Sometimes the suggestions or the content suggestions that the OwlyWriter AI gives are not up to the mark that we want."
"I advise against using Hootsuite."
"I think HootSuite can be improved with a better user interface."
"HootSuite has a solid platform for social media publishing and monitoring, but I think it could be improved with more advanced analytics, deeper AI-powered insights and summaries, or more customizable reporting."
"However, sometimes the admin dashboard and the backend panel can be a bit slow and clunky, so it could improve in terms of speed and managing its load."
"Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet."
