Scheduling posts was simple, the automation saved time, and the analytics helped me track what was working. > > **Cons**: The pricing was quite high, especially for a small business or a non-profit. The free plan had limited features, and some advanced tools were only available in the more expensive plans. > > My overall experience with Hootsuite was positive. It made managing multiple social media accounts much easier with its scheduling, automation, and analytics tools. I found it especially useful for keeping track of posts and engagement in one place. However, I found the pricing quite high\! ----- ### "Social Media Dashboard made easy" — 4.0/5 > **George** | *26 December 2025* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great for specific social media management tasks. Can be a real problem solver for social media teams looking for easy to use dashboards. > > **Cons**: Offer 30-day trial, plans can be expensive for full package offering. Would love to have a more tailor made offering for smaller agencies ----- ### "Scheduling our social media retail campaign." — 4.0/5 > **Amir** | *8 March 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The convenience in terms of planning our marketing materials is amazing as we can conveniently make promotional video posts on all our retail social networks at once. > > **Cons**: The platform is not a good value when our team is expanding because it is essentially a waste of money, and the customer support is virtually worthless when it comes to annoying lockouts in account management or the necessity to have some advanced customization features. > > Being an E-Commerce Manager, it is important to have a stable social presence. I take this to plan our daily retail campaigns. It is very effective in postings but the cost is high to a medium sized business. ----- ### "2nd best social media management platform" — 4.0/5 > **Diana** | *3 February 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think they're the second best social media management platform on the market outside of Buffer. You really just need a platform for scheduling, managing across multiple social accounts, and response management. They do great in all these factors. > > **Cons**: They don't really offer any useful social listening capabilities. That being said using HootSuite + another tool like BuzzSumo will give you a way better results than just choosing an all-in-one like SproutSocial. > > Pretty solid platform with good support. There's a reason they've been around for more than a decade. ----- Page: 1 / 153\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/137620/hootsuite?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/137620/hootsuite) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
