What differentiates Hootsuite from other similar products?
It contains a more practical panel for the process of social media management within a single place, this allows to streamline the work process and schedule content easier to be published on each social network in which it is synchronized within HootSuite. It has a very flexible cost that adapts to any type of company and its functions are not complicated at all, this helps to have a better business ROI.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It has a simplicity that allows you to manage many social network platforms within the HootSuite panel without many complications, this allows you not to be jumping from social network to social network. I can schedule posts saving time and be more punctual when it comes to having posts ready without me needing to be on the HootSuite panel.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I would like this platform to be easier to be able to change the date of a publication, something like dragging and dropping within a calendar, so you would not have to be entering data or modifying one by one. Being able to anticipate a publication within IG TV there is no way, I have to do that type of publication manually, which is annoying not to manage that within the platform.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This tool will be essential for the management of social networks without any problem, make sure to keep integrated all the platforms that are important to have an optimized space and have a good daily use managing the social networks of your company.
