I find Hootsuite very easy to use. Scheduling content is insanely simple, and because I can see all of my platforms, from Pinterest to YouTube to Instagram and Facebook, it both saves me time and gives me a simple visual of what I've got planned in the calendar. The AI support jumps in when I'm struggling with descriptions or hashtags and overall, I find Hootsuite's performance as a social media support tool well worth the pricing.

I don't love the naming conventions along the toolbar. I got used to them, but calling your community section 'parliament' is not intuitive for this user and I'm probably not using all the tools as much as I should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to schedule posts and plan a month ahead. It takes a huge burden off, so I can front-load the work and work with contractors to get things done at the beginning of each month. I can add descriptions and tag people ahead of time, which removes extra steps when making a post. I also like being able to post across different platforms at once. The notifications alert me when I need to fix a link or make a post specific to each platform. Hootsuite was easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m a little bummed that Hootsuite doesn’t let me post music, and I have more issues posting videos, so I only use it for static posts. I also wish it had an area for image descriptions; we usually put them in the comments or in the post, depending on whether we’ve reached the post limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Hootsuite to keep my posts organized and set them up early, which helps with time management and saves me a lot of time. Adding posts and content is easy, and I can duplicate posts and schedule them way ahead of time. I can visually see how my campaigns are set up and check whether they’re consistent or overlapping, including whether I have too many of the same posts or fundraising posts back to back. Adding things in seems quite simple. It also helps me save money and time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hootsuite keeps cutting off my social media accounts, so some posts don’t get posted. I also find it difficult that Reddit isn’t included, which is a huge pain as Reddit is becoming a massive platform. I don’t have time to learn all the ins and outs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Hootsuite is how everything is in one place. I don’t have to switch between a bunch of apps to post or check accounts. The scheduling feature helps a lot because I can sit down and plan out posts for the week instead of worrying about posting every day. The calendar makes it really easy to see what I have coming up and stay organized.

Another thing that’s really helpful is the analytics. I can see which posts are doing well and which ones are not, so I can adjust what I post moving forward. It makes it easier to understand what people actually engage with instead of just guessing.

Overall, it has made things more efficient for me. It saves time, keeps everything organized, and helps me be more consistent with posting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like about Hootsuite is that the interface can feel a little cluttered, especially when you’re managing multiple accounts and streams at once. It’s not always super intuitive, so it can take some time to find exactly what you’re looking for or to get used to where everything is.

Another downside is the pricing. For what it offers, it can feel a bit expensive, especially for students or smaller teams. Some features that would be really useful are locked behind higher-tier plans, which makes it harder to get full value unless you’re paying more.

I’ve also noticed that performance can be inconsistent at times. Posts don’t always publish exactly when scheduled, and sometimes the platform runs a little slow, which can be frustrating when you’re trying to work efficiently.

It would also be nice if the analytics were a bit more customizable and easier to export in a clean format. Overall, it’s a helpful tool, but there are definitely areas where it could be more user-friendly and accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love how user-friendly Hootsuite is. I've trained multiple people on how to use it, and they've picked it up so fast because the site is easy to navigate and organized in a very digestible way. The periodic updates make the site even better, not more confusing, which is really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when I use Hootsuite to schedule videos, it changes the video quality or even makes it distorted. I also wish tagging accounts on Instagram was easier. Instead of the accounts popping up like Facebook, I have to type out every handle individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Hootsuite easy to use and intuitive. It’s structured and formulaic, and I don’t have to be a marketing wiz or content creator extraordinaire to make it work for me. I like that I can broadcast to more people, share consistent messages, and respond quickly to news. Scheduling posts is useful too: it helps me keep a constant stream of output going without taking a lot of time. The initial setup was very easy, and we’ve been happy with Hootsuite for several years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the overall look and feel could use some improvements. I’d like more options for formatting messages, like different font styles or bold text, and a little more functionality for the message content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance is consistently reliable, with fast scheduling and seamless handling of being able to schedule stories and post cover updates. The platform is always updating to be as modern and useful as possible, if there's ever glitches, there's usually a fix for it pretty quickly which I appreciate the most. The pricing is great and in our budget for a small business. I love that it can handle posting to two-four platforms at the same time no problem and there is no limit to how many posts I can schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hootsuite often used to fail to post some of my scheduled posts on Instagram or Facebook. This has since been resolved in a great way where the platform doesn't just let it fail anymore, instead it re-uploads it for me and ensures it gets posted. However, it still doesn't tell me why it failed which would still be useful to know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy the platform is to use. Being able to see all the posts from the different platforms all at once in the calendar is just so helpful. Everything is so user-friendly, and the dashboard is great for showing high-level analytics. I also appreciate the webinars because it helps me make better decisions! Also super easy to get into when I first started in the social media world and implemented it throughout my team. Integrating with platforms is easy and I use this every day!

After using this platform for a few years, I'm pleased with all the updates and consistency of the ease of use. I use the drag and drop so much - especially for changing the dates quick. Makes life a little easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I've really had is that sometimes it can't find people's/organizations' tags consistently. It really just applies to tags on Facebook or LinkedIn since it has to be searched, but it will come up eventually - just need patience.

I think the newest update (with the nest) took me a minute to adjust since it seemed most different than before, but it wasn't too crazy.

I think something I struggle with is uploading reels because I want to use the music from IG/FB and don't want it to show up as our original audio (and want to avoid copyright issues). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hootsuite allows me to easily schedule content across multiple platforms at once. It’s also very simple to tailor each post for each platform, whether that means adjusting tags, links, or other details, all within Hootsuite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the UI/UX feels like it has a lot going on. I wish the platform were a bit more streamlined, rather than renaming things like the schedule as “Perch” and the social inbox as the “Nest,” and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Hootsuite to manage social media for a B2B company. I like the depth and breadth of the analytics, as I always feel like I get a full and accurate picture. It helps me analyze what's working and what isn't for our content, and the individual post performance is especially helpful as I can see what content resonated with people and what content didn't. The initial setup of Hootsuite was pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be glitchy generally and won't open or will take a long time to load. Sometimes my scheduled content doesn't save. Sometimes the page just does not load, or the site is down for unknown reasons. I'm not sure how to fix it, it's probably a software or server problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
