Powerful, comprehensive platform

Pros:
The software offers many useful user-friendly tools for scheduling social media posts, tracking activity, optimizing engagement. I especially like the reminder feature to tell me to post during peak hours.
Cons:
I do not like their Facebook scheduling feature, while on Instagram, I mostly end up saving posts as drafts to minimize the hassle.

Great solution for social media management

Pros:
The product is very user-oriented. The tools offered are efficient and innovative. A strong API and many integrations are offered. You can easily schedule social media posts from one place. What's more, the company support and tech staff are always responsive and helpful



The tradeoff for simplicity is the limit of features and capabilities the product has.
Cons:
features and capabilities are rather limited. However, whatever is offered, works extremely efficiently.

Pros:
Highly convenient and very easy to navigate. Buffer lets me schedule my social media posts and helps me preplan content more mindfully.
Cons:
I wish the software supported integration with Shopify so I could post products without having to each time download photos and other details.

Unresponsive

Pros:
The functions seem attractive, only if they actually worked. but the system won't even work.
Cons:
None of the tested functions work even after following all the right steps.

Great scheduling tool

Pros:
Buffer is an amazing platform with a wide range of functions provided at a very reasonable cost. The best tool for analytics across multiple social accounts. The browser plugin makes posting content simple. The additional graphic tools are what set Buffer apart from its many competitors.
Cons:
Users were from posting the same article across multiple social platforms at a time, which was a bummer.

Brilliant service. free of cost

Pop

Pros:
I can schedule my Facebook posts free of cost with Buffer. The quality of functions and tools provided is truly applaudable. most companies offer inferior versions of functions on the free version of their product but not Buffer. The software is very easy to use that anyone could set up their own account within minutes and get ready to schedule.
Cons:
You can only add one account on the free version but I think it's pretty standard.

Better than most competitors

Pros:
I have loved using Buffer thoroughly. The system is comprehensive and easy to use. There is a queue for all the posts which makes it really easy to re-post or recycle old posts. Saves us a lot of time and increases productivity.
Cons:
Not the most user-friendly at first. It takes a little while to learn to navigate the system and understand the workings but I suppose that is true for most software.

Decent but not very versatile

Scheduling different media files can sometimes be a hassle. it took so long to successfully schedule videos for Instagram.

Pros:
The most reliable and user-friendly tool. there are no exaggerations or big false claims with Buffer, you get what you signed up for. Sharing content across several social media platforms is easier than ever. I highly recommend it.
Cons:
The LinkedIn account requires you to re-login every time and the system does not even notify you when you are logged out and the posts aren't successfully being shared.
