The ease of updating the wording of the post to each is also a nice process. I also liked being able to schedule posts. > > **Cons**: I often found that post would not go out and I would not get any notice that it did not go out and therefore missed it. I also found that it would disconnect from a platform often. > > I was overall happy with the program however, the issues that I had caused me to step away from the service. ----- ### "Easy Scheduling" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ease of scheduling my posts in advance. Im able to draft out my content for months which allows me to be productive in other areas in my profession. The interface is also more approachable than other software i've used in the past. > > **Cons**: The analytics aren't as accurate. I'm usually having to go directly on the platform I use to pull data so my numbers are correct. > > Aside from inaccurate data, this is a great tool to schedule my posts and I enjoy all the tips and tricks they give you to make sure your content is successful. ----- ### "Comfortable operation, at a very affordable price." — 5.0/5 > **Jill** | *28 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Planning content for different channels is straightforward and works perfectly. The sharing function is especially helpful when collaborating with colleagues. I switched to Hootsuite from another tool due to a job change and found my way around immediately. > > **Cons**: From a marketing perspective, it could be a bit more colourful. For someone who has never worked with these kind of tools before, it might be too complex and confusing. > > I plan all my social media posts with Hootsuite and can easily rearrange them in the calendar using drag and drop. I can also save important dates in advance so they don't get lost and then write the posts later. I also really like the ticketing system and the resulting team collaboration. ----- ### "Powerful Tool with a Few Limitations" — 3.0/5 > **Duncan** | *31 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Overall, this product offers great value for money, with strong customer support and impressive ease of use. The marketing content is clear and helpful, though occasional bugs and issues can appear. However, the wide range of customization options helps tailor the experience to your needs, making it a solid and reliable choice. > > **Cons**: The interface can feel cluttered at times, and key features like analytics and team collaboration are locked behind higher-tier plans. Additionally, occasional glitches and limited post customization across platforms can be frustrating > > Easy to use with strong features, but some key tools are gated and occasional bugs appear. However, its still a good tool for social media managers ----- ### "Good for creating and tracking your content strategy" — 5.0/5 > **Demi** | *03 June 2026* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like about Hootsuite is the ease of use of the whole platform. It’s the first web tool for planning posts and analyzing insights that I have used, right after Canva. I use it almost every day because I really enjoy it, and I can create powerful workflows and automate some tasks. > > **Cons**: With Hootsuite, LinkedIn doesn’t allow you to schedule PDF uploads, which is a shame. Also they dosn't anymore giving trial. > > I really enjoy it, Hootsuite allows me to see what’s going on with my campaign strategy and take action quickly if something deviates from my vision. ----- Page: 1 / 153\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/121701/hootsuite?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/121701/hootsuite) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
