Calin Balaita - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Wärtsilä
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.
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

"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."
"The best features HootSuite offers in my experience are the pipeline and the order status."
"The main improvement HootSuite offers is allowing my organization to run social media campaigns."
"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."
"It has a social media presence outside of the hours people are able to devote to an organization."
"HootSuite has positively impacted my organization by helping us manage our content in a central location rather than having everything scattered everywhere."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 interface is the most valuable feature to me."
"The most valuable features are case management and reporting."
"The most effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
"Sprinklr provides an in-depth, comprehensive solution akin to Salesforce for social media, offering a 360-degree cover with numerous options."
"The metrics I track focus on engagement and impressions, and I've achieved high impression rates with Sprinklr, probably around six percent, because it's easier for participants to share and the platform allows users to share posts with unique URLs, enabling coworkers to make posts of their own while appearing organic and thus increasing impression and view rates."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The pricing would be great if it were free. It costs $99 per month, which is quite expensive."
"Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet."
"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."
"The company should reduce the pricing to make it easier for companies to deploy to larger social teams."
"Bulk scheduling."
"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."
"Their support team should opt for phone calls over emails to resolve issues faster."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high, rated at nine to ten. The cost should be reconsidered given the capabilities provided by the platform."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
"The editability of a post is irritating right now. Editing a post already marked for publish, a special feature in their platform, is problematic."
"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."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
