What is our primary use case?

I am using Hootsuite to manage my customers' LinkedIn pages. I manage about ten customers.

Hootsuite has a lot to improve, particularly the user interface, which feels dated and like an old product. I am not quite happy with the service and am looking to replace it.

It has a social media presence outside of the hours people are able to devote to an organization. However, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet.

Great tool to make small team effective.

I love HootSuite! I'm a Marketing Managers responsible for all of my company's social media, as well as a number of other functions (events, landing page and email copy, blog, etc). HootSuite makes it so easy to do the social part of my job well because I can schedule my posts in advance, shrink my links right in the platform, gather my analytics, etc. In addition, they integrate with Get Satisfaction customer communities (disclaimer: I work for GS), so when someones gives us praise on Twitter, I can pull it into our community for everyone to see/search for. All of this, right in the platform.

Does what it says on the tin - great product

I've been using HootSuite since 2011 in 3 different companies. I cannot recommend it enough, it is a brilliant product and would be happy to talk to anyone about it in private. I would like to disclose that I am in no way linked to the company or any employee of HootSuite, just a big fan :)
