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

"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."
"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 offering the possibility to connect everything in one platform, all the social channels, import the assets, and create the copies."
"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."
"The best features HootSuite offers in my experience are the pipeline and the order status."
"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."
"Customer Service: Great. Technical Support: Good."
"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."
"The most important feature of Sprinklr is its high availability since it is a cloud solution."
"I recommend it for entrepreneurs who are wearing a lot of different hats."
"The most valuable features are case management and reporting."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
"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."
"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."
"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 effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
 

Cons

"The biggest improvement area for us in HootSuite would be pricing and scales because it does scale quite quickly once we have a few more social profiles or team members added."
"Sometimes the suggestions or the content suggestions that the OwlyWriter AI gives are not up to the mark that we want."
"Bulk scheduling."
"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."
"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."
"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 pricing of the solution is quite high, rated at nine to ten. The cost should be reconsidered given the capabilities provided by the platform."
"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 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."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"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."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
