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.

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.

Pros

"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 my organization by making it easy for us to post our socials without having to add staff."
"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."
"The main improvement HootSuite offers is allowing my organization to run social media campaigns."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"AI manages customer interactions really well, and the flow becomes easier."
"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."
"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 most important feature of Sprinklr is its high availability since it is a cloud solution."
"The most valuable features are case management and reporting."
"The interface is the most valuable feature to me."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is somewhat scalable yet requires improvement in pre-existing integrations with CRM systems like Salesforce and Zendesk; the reliance on custom solutions for integrations is time-consuming and resource-intensive, which hampers scalability."
"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."
"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."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
