"Fast, All-in-One Dashboard with Powerful Integrations and Responsive Support"
What do you like best about Buffer?

Its a 1 stop organizational tool, you can create save and edit ideas all on the same dashboard. You can link all social media accounts and only choose to pay for what channel you are using. I love that you can use the built in integrations to clip and source material from the web or media you are currently watching. The speed and adaptability are on point, no lag or crashing issues. Our support team was helpful and fast to answer any questions regarding linking our media apps. The AI feature can be used to save data to your dashboard for later editing.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

At first it was a challenge to get our social media accounts linked to the app but with the help from the support team that was cleared up very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Multi-Channel Social Media Connections with a Simple Dashboard"
What do you like best about Buffer?

Its easiness to connect with the most of the social media channels including Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, BSky. Also the free plan provides access to connect 3 channels. The best part is its simple dahsboard we dont need to contact the support team for onboarding or no need to watch the videos for integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

It did not provide some features like mentioning the page or person on our social media posts, we need to manually go to social media channel for this purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth UX and Easy Social Integrations That Save Our Team Time"
What do you like best about Buffer?

It has a smooth UX compared to other scheduling tools I've used in the past. That's my first and most important checklist item. The integration experience with primary social media channels was also easy to navigate. Because of Buffer, our team finds it easy to execute our social media strategies for multiple brands and channels. It's a great time-saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I dislike it when it fails to post, and unless one of our social media managers downloads the Buffer mobile app, they don't get notified at all. As for the price, it's pretty reasonable given the smooth UX, but it could be cheaper, especially for us who add multiple channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time-Saving Social Media Management Tool"
What do you like best about Buffer?

I use Buffer for scheduling all my social media posts across multiple platforms, which saves me a lot of time. It's extremely helpful because I can manage all my social media platforms in one place. With Buffer, it's much easier to post content across different platforms and engage with followers quickly from a single location. This feature is particularly beneficial for my digital marketing agency, where I handle multiple clients' social media platforms, each having 4-5 platforms. Buffer lets me focus more on creating creative content rather than getting bogged down with social media management. The initial setup was very easy, and I'm very satisfied with the current version of Buffer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

UI of the application can be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and Clean, but Limited for Advanced Social Media Needs"
What do you like best about Buffer?

I really like Buffer because it’s simple and doesn’t try to do too much. The interface feels clean, scheduling posts is fast, and the analytics are straightforward to understand. It’s a great option if you want something lightweight and stress-free. The only downside is that it can feel a bit limited if you need more advanced features, but for everyday use it’s still a solid tool. 👍 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

One thing I don’t like about Buffer is that it can feel a bit limited compared to other tools. Some more advanced features—like deeper analytics, competitor tracking, or additional automation—are either missing or only available on higher-tier plans. It’s great if you want something simple and straightforward, but as your needs grow, you may end up outgrowing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Social Scheduling That Lets Me Set It and Forget It"
What do you like best about Buffer?

It’s made posting to social so much easier. Now I just schedule it once I’ve finished, and then I can forget about it. Before, I was constantly relying on calendar reminders just to make sure I posted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I wish you had an integration with Discord. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Affordable and Insightful, Perfect for Small Teams"
What do you like best about Buffer?

I use Buffer for scheduling posts, which is a big help when I'm managing my travel company, especially during long trips with low network zones. I find it affordable, which makes it the best fit for a small organization like ours. I also appreciate the insights feature as it helps me understand what's working with my audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

LinkedIn PDF upload is not available and Buffer lacks Hootsuite's content idea and content listening tools. It also does not allow me to properly preview, and in general, it does not feel seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ideal Free Tool for Solo Social Media Management"
What do you like best about Buffer?

I like that Buffer offers up to 3 social channels for free, which is very valuable for me. It's great that I can manage my clients' social media, schedule posts, and track the performance of posts without having to log into individual channels. I appreciate being able to track user engagement across multiple platforms in a single window, which helps me plan future posts efficiently. The initial setup was very easy thanks to the on-screen guidance and guided tour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I think AI caption generation in the free plan would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
