Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • DirectLync delivers bespoke solutions for our company; they were able to take a niche challenge and developed a transformative way to solve it.
  • 1) The easy-to-use templates and the comprehensive color formatting process allow us to implement our branding guidelines seamlessly. 2) We love the ease of adding contact groups and working with our ever-changing contact groups. 3) Feedback from the Activity Report feature helps us "always improve our position" with all our constituent groups and learn who our most engaged followers are by the number of opens, clicks, etc. 4) Best of all is the expert and timely advice from Qiana, our DirectLync support person. She helps us benefit from all the dynamic DirectLync features, from drip campaigns to social media posting schedules. We have yet to reach the total capacity of all DirectLync can do for us due to our small staff, but the sky is the limit when we do.
  • You are all so responsive, and helpful with anything I reach out to you about. The website looks so much better than it used to! We are so glad we worked/are working with you!
  • I use DirectLync for creating marketing emails. I love that everything is so customizable. DirectLync really allows you to be creative with your work.

Cons

  • Very few to no cons; start to finish was a fun and easy project.
  • DirectLync does not make house calls, if they did, their service would be perfect. LOL!
  • Not too many cons! You are all so responsive, and helpful with anything I reach out to you about.
  • You can't place certain content wherever you want.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Top-notch responsiveness - Always improving on what's already a fantastic product - Ease of use - Intuitive - Packed full of useful features - Shortens work time and makes me more profitable!
  • I like the options of many platforms. There is also a good set of documentation and wizards for guidance for adding each platform.
  • I love the fact that you can connect so many accounts and they actually work. It’s an amazing service and it’s surprisingly reliable. Having tried quite a few other services I gotta say this is one of my favorite so far. The sheer fact that it breaks down text to tweet threads automatically is a must!
  • I have enjoyed using this platform to post to all the various social media that Bonsai uses and Postly really does make the job easier at times when I am in a rush and I need to get things published and scheduled.
  • Up until I found Postly, I had been patching together social media scheduling with a couple of different services that didn't fully meet my needs. With Postly, I have found the all-in-one package I was looking for. That it posts directly to my Google Business Profile puts it head and shoulders above all the others. I also appreciate that the development at Postly listens to its users and plans feature releases around the needs we express.

Cons

  • Like any new software, as they add features, new issues appear. But, not often and they are far superior to any other platform I've used in their super quick fixes of any issue identified - they often have it resolved in under an hour!! Amazing.
  • The amount of platforms covered exceeds the ability for maintaining their changes. I rarely make a post successfully for just four platforms. Because of that, I dread using it. I know only use it about once a month, instead of the desired every few days. Needs better labels to show what image size is required BEFORE publishing.
  • It doesn’t have as much flexibility as other services on the analytics side. That’s one of the very few things missing.
  • The main issue that I have been dealing with for the past month on Postly is posting to TikTok. I am aware that when you’re posting to TikTok, you must approve the post on TikTok before it is officially published. Even though I follow all the right steps during the process, there have been many videos that I have tried to upload to TikTok through Postly that disappear and never show up on TikTok for me to approve them. This has been frustrating and has delayed my work to some degree so it would be great if this issue can be fixed in the future.
  • The content planner was a bit clunky, although I understand there has been some upgrades in the scheduling portion. I have not yet checked it out.
