Pros

The software has a number of really innovative and powerful tools to offer. It is feature-rich and great for effective social media management with all basis covered such as comments and mentions etc. Comprehensive and extensive analytic reports prove to be extremely useful. Truly a great service, best suited for agencies with a large budget and advanced needs.

Cons

As great as it is, Sprout Social comes at a luxury price. It is unjustified especially because you can find similar feature sets in several competing platforms. Even if its two different systems, they will cost you less than Sprout Social

Pros

You can easily categorize your posts into groups. Within their own section, every client has their own social and their own metrics. Theres also a post-approval process built-in for your clients. Sprout Social has the best customer support. My sales rep checks in to make sure Im doing okay and offers dedicated customer service. Because of him, I went from feeling okay about managing others social media to being confident and getting more clients. This tool has made me a lot of money.

Cons

It is quite expensive if youre only using it for a few things If youre managing multiple clients on several platforms, it is well worth the money.

Pros

Working in social media requires me to be active online. One thing that I love about Sprout Social is that I can schedule all of my content for the weekend so I can take a step back and not have to be on my phone all the time. Scheduling ahead of time is a great time saver. It does exactly what I need it to do with no problems. Would definitely recommend it to people whos jobs require a lot of social media activity.

Cons

My profiles seem to disconnect every once in a while. though, its not really a big issue.

I got the chance to use Sprout from one of my customers account and I have found it to be truly impressive in its orderly arrangement and simplicity of efficiently managing multiple things at once. it also offers a tool to customize Instagram and Facebook data and display it easily on the site.

I find the deploying this to a site is made in an obsolete way, which should have been improved to the newest standards.
