    Pros
    The scheduling was great and the reports are probably the best out there. It also has a great mobile app which never crashed on me.
    Just choose the option that fits your needs. Another Buffer feature I love is the ability to share the same post to multiple platforms with the appropriate variations.
    It's great to help clients who have never used a scheduling platform before, it's quite easy to use and reliable.
    Cons
    Buffer has been one of the only platforms I've had trouble with when it comes to failed posts. It didn't happen that frequently, but it happened often enough that it was a pain point.
    It can be a little confusing to learn the interface and features of customizing for each platform.
    But these generally are problems users can expect to encounter with any social scheduling platform.
