Hootsuite vs Zoho Social Comparison

Saves time. Easy to control and work as a team. Customazing the dashboard is very useful. Competitor monitoring is a great function. Analysing and reports are customazible hence very useful. Publishing simultaneously is a big plus.

Social inbox can be more robust. I would love to see a social CRM option.

ease of use, can conduct the basic tasks necessary, been around in the industry a long time

user experience design could use work, integrations with social networks frequently failed/broke connection, social listening setup is clunky

I've been using HootSuite for years and I keep discovering great features! I recently discovered the app connections in HootSuite with UpContent and Right Relevance and they have been essential when I am having a mental hiccup and don't know what to post.

I have found sometimes the numbers for engagement in the analytics section are a bit inflated. And the permission levels on the Enterprise team plan can get annoying.

multiple platforms reached with a single post

Some difficulty connecting certain social platforms

I like that it's easy to use, dynamic as it connects with most social media channels & allows me to easily schedule posts across multiple platforms. Easy to assign certain tasks across my team & also do social listening.

lack of advanced social listening features

If you have a business with social media accounts, then you absolutely need this! It allows you to create posts and schedule them weeks in advance! Everything is on a single dashboard making it super easy to manage every channel.

It is a paid web based software and if you have any issues with the software, their customer service is very slow!

I like that you are able to schedule posts to multiple social platforms. I also really like the auto schedule feature.

I wish that hootsuite gave me more analytics. I also wish it told me how it figures the best time to auto schedule.

Pretty straightforward social scheduling tool. Makes it easy to post and manage social schedules across multiple accounts.

None really come to mind. Service does what is advertised. There are many features allowing flexibility for businesses of all sizes.

It's a easy to use software with powerful social media tools to manage your social media presence. This tool help us to schedule our social media posts with multiple accounts and also generate reports to identify your growth.

I didn't face any major issues with the software but sometimes their might be a problem of accounts connectivity.

can keep multiple social media accounts on track

Needs to add more social media functions

Hootsuite is easy to manage multiple social media accounts

Some social medias are not implemented yet

It's easy to use, user friendly and has a mobile app to make it convenient to make social updates while on the go.

Some of the API for some social networks are not perfect and make you go to the actual social network to make the post.

The social post scheduling is very good and easy to use.

Not all social websites are supported by hootsuite.

Social media management , social media marketing and Sponsored campaign

user management and user security management

First, that with Hootsuite I can automate almost all major social media platform for my marketing and building brand presence without allocating dedicated manpower for posting and optimization. Secon easy to use interface.

Not that detailed Social Analytics reports with different KPIs.

The Free Version was enough for our small business. Easy to schedule posts on multiple accounts. Mobile app is easy to use and makes posting on the go simple. Link shortener and the ability to track analytics are helpful features. Multiple users can access accounts

Somewhat confusing dashboard. Video tutorials are helpful, but could be expanded to show different use examples.

It's a solid social media platform where I can manage/ automate my social media posts across different social networks easily.

Onboarding experience takes time so you can feel comfortable how to use it. UX overall could be more intuitive.

Very fast and quick to use interface to write and schedule posts.

Not all social media networks are available through Hootsuite.

It was easy to set up campaign posts to inform people.

It didn’t touch enough social media platforms and places.

Hootsuite covers almost every aspect of your role as a social media manager from scheduling post, finding new leads, monitoring, analytics, and assisting team members.

Another social media management tool with the basic features.

When dealing with social media management, branding, and customer relations the best software is hootsuite.

You have to understand social media tricks before use

I loved how I was able to plan a large number of posts in advance and schedule when they were going to be published. I am constantly on the go and timing in everything in social media. This program allows me to prepare in advance so I can pay attention to what I am doing in the present.

It does not have all the social media platforms .

I think Hootsuite is great for the basics of social media scheduling and it is also excellent with analytics, managing content, and social listening. I would say it is one of the best social media tools on the market.

They have really been around since the beginning and I can't think of too many cons that haven't been iterated and fixed. It used to look a little clunky in years past, but has really become more streamlined.

We manage multiple social media accounts so having a single dashboard is a life saver. Time is money they say, so when you are active on youtube, instagram, facebook, and twitter, hootsuite is a must have for any enterprise.

In our expansion to Asia, we require integration of the hottest social media apps in China. Right now, this is more of a U.S centric social media SAAS.

The ability to post over several platforms from the software itself saves a lot of time for social media moderators. The automated report generation is a game-changer.

It would be better if the software caters more detailed/ guided tour of the software so that it makes it easier for beginners also to use it with less technical terms.

There are two things I like most about Zoho Social: 1) Easier to deploy than Hootsuite 2) More affordable than Hootsuite

Specifically when searching on Twitter, for a user tweet, finding the tweet takes little more work than it should.

The ease of the site. It's not hard or complicated and everything is in your face.

Nothing I think that everything is great and I'm happy I switched

I've started with the trial and like it so far. It has already saved me time and money. Thanks.

not as many linked social platforms as compared to Hootsuite.

Good functionality, ability to post on Instagram, clear and logical user interface

Had problems connecting Instagram - couldn't figure it out and had to return to Hootsuite

I love the Calendar feature and how easy it is to schedule posts ahead of time

I cannot resize images for Instagram from the platform

Able to easily integrate with other Zoho softwares we used across the company

Definitely preferred the display that Hootsuite offered vs. Zoho Social. Not as dynamic, but still very good.

ProsAble to without difficulty combine with other Zoho softwares we used throughout the agency

Definitely favored the show that Hootsuite supplied vs. Zoho Social. Not as dynamic, however nevertheless very good.

Software works very well, nice and easy to use, nice interface, very impressed all round.

They weren't clear about their pricing structure and what was involved in the free version - I was suggesting it to customers and this info would have been good.

Zoho is very inexpensive and does the same thing that Hootsuite does, with more and better features.

Would like to be able to add the calendar feature to the basic package, but otherwise am happy with the basic features.
