Maintaining a presence on social media is really easy with Hootsuite. The software allows you to schedule posts in bulk at one time and coordinate posting times across different social media platforms.

Integration is usually great but the Instagram link expires every once in a while, which prevents regular posts from being uploaded. It takes a long time to fix it, the Instagram issue still persists.

Pros

Cons

There are no dates specified for the Facebook insights, shortened URLs are absurdly overpriced. And highly expensive to generate analytics reports. Overall, the product is not worth the expense for our clients.

Pros

The software is quite useful but the working is a bit complicated does not connect to all aspects of the collaborating applications so that you miss some of the functionality. I do, however, really appreciate the ability to schedule all my social media posts from one mainframe.

Cons

You cannot use more than 3 accounts with more than 1 user in the free edition.
