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.

What is our primary use case?

I have primarily used HootSuite in the context of small nonprofits or community groups without paid staff dedicated to social media (if they have any paid staff at all). 

How has it helped my organization?

The main improvement HootSuite offers is allowing my organization to run social media campaigns. Also, it has a social media presence outside of the hours people are able to devote to an organization.

What is most valuable?

Scheduling posts Making similar posts across services (Facebook and Twitter) from one place.

What needs improvement?

Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet.

For how long have I used the solution?

Trial/evaluations only.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I have only used the free versions.

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 :)
