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.
