Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • One thing that I like very much with Buffer is the ability to schedule all posts and videos across all social platforms simultaneously.
  • - User-frienndly and easy to use - Robust scheduling capabilities - Analytics that allows you to track performance of your posts across different platforms
  • Buffer is one of the most straightforward products to use. They have a free trial where I can try scheduling for different social media.
  • Best platform for scheduling your posts for social media accounts also easy to use. they have different features + they implement all my needs which I want from this app.
  • Previously we scheduled content natively in each app. I needed a way to easily manage content on multiple platforms with a number of colleagues without giving everyone publishing access.

Cons

  • I do not have any major dislikes or discomfort with this product.
  • - Basic content creation tools like the Pablo image creator that doesn't cover more sophisticated design needs, limited Analytics - Limited post customization for each platform
  • The editing is quite limited. If the photo or video has a different ratio, you might expect it to look different. Because of that, I switched to some social media native scheduling options, which is not ideal if you want to see all the posts you schedule.
  • They have high pricing also also the social media limitations.
  • The software is a good-to-go software and quite easy to understand but initially while using and implementing all the tools and functions of the software. It confused our team regarding how to go further with the advanced scheduling and post-queuing but gradually we learned the process and worked on it flawlessly

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The price is just right. It's not too low where the product is cheap and it's not too high where you can't afford it. I love how I can publish posts and schedule them on my phone. I am able to organize the photos so they look consistent and with my theme. There are also tons of blog posts on the Later site that are easy and fun to follow.
  • I like the program because it has been instrumental in managing social networks, specifically Instagram. The support is incredible and gives a straightforward solution to quality information for advertising purposes. It is extraordinary to highlight the followings of prospects on Instagram.
  • Didn't like this software as it was difficult to use compared to most social media programs out there.

Cons

  • The only con that I have noticed is that when you upload a high-res photo to Later, they compress the image. So when you auto-publish to Instagram its not as crisp as if you posted directly via the Instagram app.
  • Later has no issues; I must say it does everything flawlessly.
  • Hard to set up. Works but there's a learning curve.
