Sprout Social

Pros: Sprout Social offers powerful scheduling, analytics, and engagement tools that make managing social media efficient.

Cons: The platform can be expensive for small teams, and some advanced features take time to fully understand and utilize.

Pros: Our organization operates nearly a dozen main social handles and multiple sub-brands, Sprout Social has made it incredibly easy to manage all of our social handles across several platforms. The reporting tools are top tier and it is incredibly simple to generate visually appealing reports, especially for paid campaigns. Having switched over from another provider the learning curve was quite simple as the user interface is intuitive. It won't take long to master Sprout Social.

Cons: The only caveat with Sprout and other providers is that it can get quite expensive if you require several user licenses and have a large number of social handles. The features are worth the money, but it is important to consider how many user licenses you will need to adequately support your organization.

Pros: Ease of Editing & posting and it is very good for content creators across the spectrum. For me a mini youtuber it is great

Cons: a little costly for mini content creators, as I have not started earning from my channels, it's a bit costly for me to maintain

Pros: Easy to use, simple interface and reliable social publishing. Also has a social advocacy bolt on which is useful for getting employees to share content.

Cons: Reporting felt quite limited, customer success managers and account management was also not great. Sometimes we felt like an inconvenience.

Pros: They make it easy to see our entire inbox and messages we have. We're also able to respond directly to messages and comments from Sprout Social. IT's easy to use and set up, as well as schedule posts in advance for easy publishing. We feel confident in it's security and have never had an issue or bug that has needed to be worked out. The vaue we're getting is great and they're willing to customize your plan based on what you need.

Cons: There are a lot of features to learn and sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming to try and use all of them. It's a very robust product.

Pros: I like that all of our social stuff comes in to one place. It prevents me from having to log in and out of separate accounts just to respond to comments or DMs. The tagging system also comes in handy to help us keep track on who on the team worked on what.

Cons: It can be a little overwhelming to get started, especially the analytics portion. It took me a week to feel comfortable and I’m still puzzled by some filters.

Pros: How makes it way easier to plan everything going on across all the accounts. The calendar view is super clean, and the reports save a lot of time when I need to show how things are going.

Cons: The price is kind of high compared to some other tools that do similar stuff, so you kinda have to be sure you're gonna use all the features to make it worth it.

Pros: What I liked most about Sprout Social was its intuitive interface and ease of use, making social media management smooth and efficient. With over 25 profiles to manage, it makes it so easy to interact and schedule posts across all of them or individually.

Cons: I honestly didn’t encounter any downsides with Sprout Social; everything worked exactly as I needed it to.

Pros: Super easy to use - our marketing team is able to publish quality content into Sprout, and I can easily spread it to my network with the click of a button - super cool way to generate engagement.

Cons: Could benefit through some form of variety with the posts that go out - posts seem to only have one caption possible, so unless everyone customizes (they won't) it creates a LOT of the same exact posts.

Pros: Really helpful to plan posts and see everything in one spot. I like the calendar view and the way I can check comments and messages from all accounts easy

Cons: Sometimes it loads slow when I switch between brands, and I need more users but the price goes up fast

Pros: I liked the social analytics - they felt super robust and useful

Cons: The price was a barrier. I used it while at a big company, but not afterwards. Also, there were always issues with tagging users on LinkedIn

Pros: User-friendly interface with all the latest updates and a preview grid for Instagram. The reports are really complete and you can even have a competitors' report.

Cons: A little expensive. Custom reports will be deprecated. Social Listening seems very basic, and not as advanced as other tools.

Pros: SproutSocial is a great social media scheduling and engagement report tool and can be used by all types of businesses, companies, and agencies looking to streamline their digital posting and social analytics.

Cons: There are times when certain metrics display incomplete data and you need the assistance of Sprout Support to backfill missing data points.

Pros: Their listening functionality allows users to track the conversations around campaigns.

Cons: Compared to other social media tools such as Echobox, it does not have a dynamic AI-powered scheduling deck.

Pros: Literally the only social media tool you need.

Cons: cost can be a little expensive, but once you use it, the value is there.

Pros: There really wasn't much to like. I was told to test this on behalf of a client, and I will be recommending future clients to pass on them. It's much harder to use than HootSuite and Buffer for managing social media. Then when it comes to social listening, it's very complex and not very helpful once it's setup properly either.

Cons: They're trying to be an everything platform, and they're not especially great at anything. They're not the best at managing multiple channels or social listening. It's also expensive for being average at both of those core things.

Pros: I like the incredible statistics and data given for each platform.

Cons: It is very expensive and I feel like the data is the only difference between sprout and others.

Pros: The reports and UI are what I like the most.

Cons: We were priced out of the service. We like it but can't afford it.

Pros: They are relatively easy to use with some handy in built reports

Cons: Cut back support staff - got rid of our account manager and AU support teams, without telling us Auto renew annual contracts and despite us trying to contact our rep to review our needs and being ghosted, they refused to revisit this They are no longer leaders in the space, look at the newer options - they offer better features and value for dollars

Pros: I love that Sprout Social allows us to keep track of our social media pages’ performance. It’s great that Sprout Social simplifies managing all our accounts from the same page, as we can easily allocate space to collect all interactions from a specific page under its own section. Scheduling posts is very easy, as is rescheduling or canceling posts.

Cons: In the case of individual subscriptions, logging into the same account from multiple devices becomes difficult, and may require a new verification or password change.

Pros: Software efficacy in streamlining content publishing and availability of robust features that enhace strategic decisions making.

Cons: The product is very reliable compared to other social media marketing tools. No glitches experienced.

Pros: Loved this tool, very easy to use and great insights into our socials performance

Cons: The support wasn't as helpful, and the cost for more than one user was more expensive than you would htink

Pros: Spout social is a great tool for social media management. There is a lot of versatility for posting and engagement

Cons: This tool is very expensive, and can be hard to justify for smaller businesses
