The best part of Edgar for me is the ability to store and reuse content. We can create content that is relevant to that month and then reuse it every year! It also has a feature that will suggest alternate text so you can vary your content and have "new" tweets about the same subject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that the Twitter content can only be used once, but that is because of Twitter, not Edgar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The easy to use interface is very helpful, but the best feature is the auto-generating variation and the categorization. With the classification, I can easily designate categories of content and have them auto cycle based on my publishing calendar. The autogenerating feature helps easily create posts and content and retires them as needed or recycles them. what used to take time and resources in compiling data and copy for posts now make it a snap as Edgar autogenerates copy and posts for us to edit saving us time.

There is no ability to manage paid ads through Edgar and the content calendar would be nicer if it had a drag and drop interface. I would also have preferred the ability to choose the category colors based on my own submissions when creating new categories as opposed to having them randomly assigned. I do love the user interface of Edgar but it would be nice if it had a bit more of a professional skin or the ability to change it based on your own preference. As a B2B marketer, it's important that the tools we use also provide that same level of professionalism. The reporting features within Edgar could be more robust. right now they are limited to some static numbers on a weekly basis with no ability to select dates or run specific time frames with makes it harder to track campaigns or event-based posting. One small thing that bugs me is that in the reporting the colors seem backward where green is indicated on negative reporting and red is indicating positive gains.

The best part about it is that you can schedule a post multiple times with just a few clicks. You are able to create projects. We use it for blogs and pushing those blogs onto social media. So we would have a board for each client then put the blogs in there. I would created a task to publish on certain days and at certain times. You can also export your information. Like the published dates, where and what. It also has a tool that comes up with the copy for your post for you. I would highly recommend this tool for social media users.

I don't like that I can not download the full post, copy and graphic int he reports. I might not be clicking a button but as of yet I have not figured it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Good software for automation of social posting so you can set it and forget it. Works great on Twitter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You could only set the frequency to daily rather than bi-weekly or on X day every month. Made it difficult to automate our process as we don't post daily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like most about the Edgar Social Media Management software is that it automates our social media to stay relevant and top of mind. It allows us to grow our base without having to constantly micromanage our channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are not enough options for posting schedules. It works really well for a daily posting but does not allow for weekly or bi-weekly posting to be scheduled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My favorite part of Meet Edgar is how they handle the recurring sharing of content. All the benefits of automation with really granular control over what goes out, when it goes out, and where it goes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm growing wearing of waiting for publishing for Pro Instagram accounts and Pinterest pinning. Those are important features to me, and they've been promised for months now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to cycle my evergreen content automatically means I'm able to have a great social presence for each person on my team. Pricing is fair and hasn't creeped up over time. Additionally it is a big comfort to know that there will never be significant droughts in my feed if I don't manage to update each feed as regularly as I should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd like the option for increased account management (even if it means a bill increase). As a growing team it would be very helpful to know that the platform is going to continue to grow with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have a lot of content that I create, but as a small business person, I don't have the bandwidth or team to keep posting it to social channels. With MeetEdgar, I've been able to regularly share evergreen content that gives my blog and vlog posts a much longer lifespan. I've definitely seen an uptick in traffic by using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can't tag individuals in LinkedIn posts which makes it more challenging for the B2B space that doesn't use Pinterest or Instagram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The automation and the library where you can keep it all in one place. Also, the variation feature is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish we could share the post directly on IG without having to be near our phone to post it ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been an Edgar customer almost since the beginning. It's easy to use, intuitive interface makes social scheduling a breeze, but what really sold me was the content library that builds up over time, so after you've done the initial set up and pulled in your RSS feeds, it really does become set it and forget it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some scheduling features that I wish were a little easier to work with in terms of duplication and drag and drop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edgar has made social media simple and organized. Once a week is all it takes to upload new content. It's super user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It creates similar post copy for Twitter since you're unable to tweet the same tweet twice. However, the majority of the time, this auto-generated copy isn't something we'd use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can add posts to my library and I do not have to think about it again its there and will rotate through Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wish I could create libraries that would only go out between two different dates and repeat every year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to pause or skip posts. Also, the ability to add variations can be helpful, depending on the type of post. Linking the RSS feed to autofind new blogs we write is great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Instagram scheduling is only available for iOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that I can spend an hour loading up posts and memes and such, and have it literally take care of all of it for me for a month or more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Facebook favors posts made from within it's 'walls' - so it's not an end-all solution. You still have to post manually once in a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how simple and visual it all is. Makes scheduling easy and quick. Love how easy it is to import RSS feeds too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I can't do at the moment is schedule to Instagram direct, but I know they are working on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate that Edgar makes it easy to schedule social posts across different channels. My favorite feature is the ability to categorize posts so you can decide, for example, that you want webinar promotions to go out every Tuesday at 1pm and new blog posts to go out every Friday at 9am. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When we first purchased Edgar, the tool offered the ability to report on social media engagement by category. In other words, we could compare how our followers engaged with posts in our "E-Books" category versus our "Webinar" category and make decisions accordingly. For some reason, they quickly removed that feature and Edgar now has no reporting capabilities.
It was also initially very useful for recycling and rescheduling old content, but due to recent Twitter TOS updates, that's no longer allowed. As a result, Edgar is pretty much useless to us now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Has a lot of the major functionality of enterprise platforms for a fraction of the price. Plus support is great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No idea why my LinkedIn profile pic won't appear and we can't change colors on categories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm 3-4x as effective in 1/4 the time. I used to be perpetually wracked by this feeling of 'uh oh' whenever I had been away from Twitter and Facebook for more than a half-hour or so. Now, I use those platforms to do the fun, network-y stuff that's enjoyable, and Edgar handles all of the ugh-type posting (inspirational quotes in pretty frames, links to articles along with a pull quote and image, evergreen brand-building posts) that used to occupy most of my Twitter and Facebook time.
Like everybody, I've been frustrated by rapidly-diminishing reach on social media. Edgar is the perfect solution to a lot of my woes, allowing me to gain followers, spark engagement and build the brand even while I'm not actively working (even while I'm actively sleeping).
I feel like I'm gushing, but the number of times that I've signed up for a platform/service and been overwhelmed with the value, efficacy and customer service after significant usage is 1. If you're wondering what that feels like, it's great. I recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I strongly dislike that Edgar only works with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. If Edgar worked with Instagram, Pinterest, Goodreads, Spotify, Reddit, Snapchat and Messenger like it did with the current triumvirate, I would be beside myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- The software helps you to keep the content organized by groups and it posts them accordingly.
- With Edgar, you can manage a few different Facebook, Linkedin and tweeter accounts at the same time.
- Since only about 10% of all users are reached with each post, we use the tool to re-post the content regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the system does not pull the images properly from the blog article and I could not find the way to fix the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edgar's interface is nice and beautiful, I love the post preview and the rotating libraries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that I can't just "stop" a calendar. If i need to stop my posts i will need to erase the calendar. This is very annoying if Im thinking about stopping my posts for a couple of days but I want to go back to my calendar later.
I also think it is very expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've used Edgar and am a huge fan. It's the best solution that I've found to date that allows you to recirculate web content and easily add new content. You'd be surprised how valuable it is to republish past articles and information from your website to drive more traffic. It's user-friendly and a great asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a little pricey and I can't tag other social media businesses and it doesn't integrate with Instagram. Adding the ability to tag other businesses within the workspace would be ideal. However, the workaround is that I just edit the post after it goes live - so not the end of the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edgar allows us to keep our best content in a queue and makes it so simple to share others' content as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wish it cost less, but it is well worth it for our small organization (2-10 employees). Additionally, navigating and completing some bulk actions is not always intuitive but they have made some great improvements in recent months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edgar is extremely easy to use, and allows you to plan a social media posting schedule that is complex in nature due to the varying channels within the library. We switched to Edgar from Buffer, and didn't look back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't say there is anything that I didn't find satisfied our needs from this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Absolutely love the ability to upload/update content, have it saved in a "content bank", set a schedule and Edgar automatically populates posting based on the calendar set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is not posting for IG or analytics. Otherwise, it would be absolutely perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
