Featured Reviews

Tom Wondra - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at Leonard and Sons
Social campaigns have been scheduled efficiently and posting now saves a full staff position
The best features HootSuite offers are that it connects to the social platforms that I'm interested in and it's easy to use and to understand. HootSuite is easy to use for me because it's intuitive in the way that you need to set up posting campaigns and to load the particular posts so that they show up the way you'd like them to and in the timing that you'd like them to. HootSuite has positively impacted my organization by making it easy for us to post our socials without having to add staff.
Leonid Mironov - PeerSpot reviewer
Social & Digital Media Performance, Senior Manager at Majid Al Futtaim
Facilitating data-driven decisions with powerful reporting and case management
The most valuable features are case management and reporting. The Unified-CXM Platform also helps in data aggregation and offers the capability to export data in different formats and integrate it with common CRMs like Microsoft 360 or Salesforce. Additionally, the ability to manage access to the data and ensure visibility to third parties is quite beneficial. The solution allows me to take data-driven decisions and identify gaps within the business by collecting and labeling data extensively.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I love the usability of HootSuite, and it is easy to learn; that is one of the great things."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Customer Service: Great. Technical Support: Good."
"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."
"The main improvement HootSuite offers is allowing my organization to run social media campaigns."
"The best features HootSuite offers in my experience are the pipeline and the order status."
"It is easy to invite advocates in to help with community management, plus there are tons of integrations with other customer support products."
"From a cost perspective, it requires replacing, but in terms of business benefits, Sprinklr provides a very good customer experience, which is the major benefit for us."
"The Unified-CXM Platform has enabled cost savings on resources by aggregating data and sorting messages before reaching an agent, reducing the workload and optimizing headcount."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
"I recommend it for entrepreneurs who are wearing a lot of different hats."
"Sprinklr provides an in-depth, comprehensive solution akin to Salesforce for social media, offering a 360-degree cover with numerous options."
"Being able to use moving images, like GIFs, is important, and multi-language support is crucial, as it allows content in multiple languages and increases engagement and impressions significantly."
"The scheduling feature is, of course, key just so I can do it in one sitting, plan out the month, and be ahead of everything."
 

Cons

"I advise against using Hootsuite."
"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."
"Bulk scheduling."
"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."
"Sometimes the suggestions or the content suggestions that the OwlyWriter AI gives are not up to the mark that we want."
"Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet."
"The company should reduce the pricing to make it easier for companies to deploy to larger social teams."
"If I compare Sprinklr with NICE, people still opt for NICE. This is because they are not as confident with the use cases of Sprinklr, even though Sprinklr is trying to improve."
"The editability of a post is irritating right now. Editing a post already marked for publish, a special feature in their platform, is problematic."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
"The interaction and integration with our CRM should be improved, especially to ensure security with on-premises solutions and to be suitable for banking environments."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
"Their support team should opt for phone calls over emails to resolve issues faster."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
