The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

Hootsuite Social Media, Trends, tips and tactics
Likeliness to Recommend

Plan campaigns, fill content gaps, and speed project approval across teams. With Hootsuite, you don't just get software. You get a partner that truly understands change management and the effort needed to invest strategically in social media.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It has helped create a centralized content funnel that makes it easy for team members to select and share. With the dashboard it organizes all of the company's social networks very well and makes it easy to publish daily posts to keep the team updated.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Should provide a better, more integrated experience in the corporate ecosystem; sometimes the reach shown in the app is not accurate.

Creates better businesses. Companies where people thrive in a diverse, equal and inclusive work environment. Where our products and services support and empower those who need them most. And where our work gives more to the planet than it takes from it.

"Good social networking integration tool."
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Hootsuite from other similar products?
This program is distinct from others because its pricing and tiered structure no longer make sense, given that many of its rivals offer scheduling and publishing choices that are comparable to or even superior to those that it provides at a lower cost.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's a godsend that we can schedule social media postings in advance and then forget about them. We used to (attempt to) regularly update our social media, but now we're completely overwhelmed. With Hootsuite, we can schedule our social media posts in advance and avoid the stress of coming up with material at the last minute.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Even though the analytics are incredible, we occasionally have trouble using them or locating the specific data we require.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This tool comes highly recommended from me due to its reliability, power, and simple yet effective integration of several social networks.
Pros
- Unique Features
- Efficient Service
- Effective Service
- Saves Time

"Good platform to manage social networks."
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Hootsuite from other similar products?
The ability to schedule postings across different networks and the flexibility to establish custom streams to keep tabs on engagement set it apart from competing software.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
More than about four or five channels can make social media management a nightmare for a business. It's next to impossible for a multi-client firm to manage dozens of client accounts from a single workstation (logging in and out would take hours). Having all of a user's social media feeds accessible in one place is a huge time saver, and platforms like Hootsuite make that possible. Hootsuite makes it simple to monitor all of your social media accounts in one place, which reduces anxiety and improves clarity of thought and speech. No need to manually export data from each account anymore thanks to its convenient reporting capabilities.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Uncoupling on Instagram was a common occurrence for a while, but that has recently been remedied. There needs to be some watchfulness to guarantee that all of the accounts are in sync with one another. Hootsuite is the industry leader, and as expected, it comes with a heavy price tag; but, for companies managing 20 or 40 social media accounts, this is a cost-effective solution.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
In addition to the dashboard, I think you'll find the program's ease of multi-publishing (with options like auto scheduling and bulk scheduling) as well as its outstanding complete superior reporting and analytics to be particularly compelling. HootSuite also allows you to collaborate with your team by sharing content, commenting on it, and assigning tasks to individual members.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Unique Features
