Pros

“The customer support is good and very comprehensive. Since we want to adopt a medium/basic level monitoring tool, we decided to move forward with another one. If it is very important to listen to social and track branding, you can feel confident.”

Cons

“One of the biggest drawbacks of Instagram is that the algorithm can make it difficult for content to reach followers consistently, especially for business accounts.”

“The pressure to curate a certain image, along with intrusive ads and the addictive, hard-to-put-down scrolling design, were also things I didn't love.”

“I dislike the algorithms that tend to overdue advertisements from gathering users personal information which result in a bombardment of ad repetition.”
