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

"HootSuite has positively impacted our organization by making our social presence a lot more consistent and coordinated."
"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 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."
"HootSuite has positively impacted my organization by helping us manage our content in a central location rather than having everything scattered everywhere."
"It has a social media presence outside of the hours people are able to devote to an organization."
"I love the usability of HootSuite, and it is easy to learn; that is one of the great things."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is easy to invite advocates in to help with community management, plus there are tons of integrations with other customer support products."
"Everything is integrated in one platform."
"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."
 

Cons

"HootSuite has a solid platform for social media publishing and monitoring, but I think it could be improved with more advanced analytics, deeper AI-powered insights and summaries, or more customizable reporting."
"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."
"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 would be great if it were free. It costs $99 per month, which is quite expensive."
"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."
"The company should reduce the pricing to make it easier for companies to deploy to larger social teams."
"I think HootSuite can be improved with a better user interface."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"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."
"Depending on someone's needs, based on the price and functionality, I would lean towards no recommendation."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
"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."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"The editability of a post is irritating right now. Editing a post already marked for publish, a special feature in their platform, is problematic."
