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.

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.

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.

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

Buffer helps with platforms that are a bit less utilized, such as Blusky. I can use it for Instagram and Facebook easily. I like that I can save unlimited drafts until I can queue them.

Customer support has always been helpful when there are glitches, although sometimes, when there are upgrades, it gets glitchier than I'd hoped. It is easy to integrate with mainstream social apps and newer ones like Blusky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buffer is great in general, but I have trouble squinting at the screen for the calendars. It's not clunky or anything like that, I just think the calendar display could be better. I really have no other complaints. It's really easy to use if you're used to using social media software. Getting set up is easy as well. I've never used customer support, to be honest. But I use this all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use for beginners. It's also one of the more affordable options. One of the only places you can schedule Bluesky and Threads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glitches a lot or posts fail. Limited reporting capabilities and a bit too simplistic for complex workflows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I genuinely love most about Buffer is how simple and clean it makes everything.

It takes the overwhelming feeling out of social media management. You get this beautiful, easy-to-use content calendar where you can quickly see the entire week ahead. That way, you can step back, plan your content, and then the app just reliably takes care of the posting for you.

For me, that simplicity and the ability to schedule things out in bulk is a total time-saver—it lets me actually focus on creating good content instead of constantly fiddling with different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary downside of Buffer is its simplicity—it lacks the advanced features found in competitors.

The main complaints are:

Limited Engagement & Listening: It doesn't offer robust tools for social listening (monitoring brand mentions across the web) or a unified inbox for quickly managing all comments and replies.

Basic Analytics: The reports are often considered too shallow for large teams that require in-depth competitive or custom reporting.

Cost for Scale: The pricing can get expensive quickly if you manage a large number of social accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Buffer is intuitive to use and feature-rich. Even though there are capabilities that are more advanced than what we need, it's really helpful for the most simple and valuable tasks. It also makes it easy to visually plan out what we're doing on different days, and I like the set it and forget it mentality it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes posts fail, which is frustrating. It's probably more on the social media platforms than it is on Buffer, but it's still annoying. And there are certain types of posts that you cannot schedule in advance, which is annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Buffer helps schedule posts in different time zones. It's really convenient because you can set posts for any time within a specified time zone. I also liked that its setup is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the limited number of free channels that can be added; I would like more in the free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked the feature that lets me set goals for each channel. It made even routine posting feel like an achievement and gave me a clearer sense of progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I ran into an issue with auto-posting and ended up having to post manually, which I didn’t realize I would need to do. It turns out I had to download the app first, then use the media and caption to upload everything manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use - Its very nice to collaborate as a team in there. Overview is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being able to see all the analytics I want Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how easy it was to set up Buffer as it seamlessly integrated with all my Facebook, Meta, LinkedIn, and Instagram profiles. This ease of integration really simplified my workflow. I find the capability to schedule posts across multiple platforms at once extremely beneficial, saving me a lot of time and effort. Buffer allows for individual date and time settings for each post, which is very helpful for targeting specific audiences without having to manually manage each post. The user interface contributes to a smooth experience, enabling efficient management of my social media activities. These features collectively enhance my productivity and provide a streamlined approach to managing social media content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the user interface of Buffer, as it could be more interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
