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

"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Customer Service: Great. Technical Support: Good."
"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 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 scheduling feature is, of course, key just so I can do it in one sitting, plan out the month, and be ahead of everything."
"The most valuable features are case management and reporting."
"Sprinklr provides an in-depth, comprehensive solution akin to Salesforce for social media, offering a 360-degree cover with numerous options."
"AI manages customer interactions really well, and the flow becomes easier."
"The most effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
"Everything is integrated in one platform."
"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."
 

Cons

"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 pricing would be great if it were free. It costs $99 per month, which is quite expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Bulk scheduling."
"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."
"Depending on someone's needs, based on the price and functionality, I would lean towards no recommendation."
"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."
"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."
"Their support team should opt for phone calls over emails to resolve issues faster."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"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."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
