Pros

“Instagram allows a user to be completely free in how they choose to use the app, such as username changes, editing existing posts and reels, and uploading content.”

“Features such as Reels, Stories, product tagging, and direct messaging make it easier to reach new customers and build relationships with existing ones.”

“I also appreciated the Explore page for surfacing content genuinely relevant to my interests, and the editing tools that made photos and videos look polished right in the app.”

Content Creator

Pros

“Additionally did native content schedulers stays in immense amount of time by allowing us to plan, draft, and queue up post and story weeks in advance without requiring third party tools”

Office manager

“But I like most about meta business suite is the ability to centralize and manage both Facebook and Instagram business assets from a single dashboard.”

Office manager

“Overall, it is a very useful, free tool for basic social media management and tracking post metrics, though it could benefit from a smoother learning curve and fewer glitches.”

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.”

Andrea L.

Innovation Manager

“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.”
LL

Léo L.

Content Creator

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

Yonas E.

President

Cons

“The confusing navigation, the fact that it melds in with your personal profile, the fact that there are so many 'request approvals' that don't make sense, the fact that there are multiple places to create ads, multiple settings, like we have ads centre, ads manager, busines suite, page settings - it's so unituitive!”
EH

Erin H.

Marketer

“It also doesn’t offer the depth of reporting or customization that more advanced tools provide, which can make campaign evaluation a bit limited—especially when managing multiple ad objectives or trying to dig into historical performance”
AL

Ann L.

Head of Marketing

“Sometimes the application can feel a bit slow or glitchy when switching between different business accounts.”
