    "A robust tool for social media management"

    Posted 2024-01-04

    Pros: - User-frienndly and easy to use
    - Robust scheduling capabilities
    - Analytics that allows you to track performance of your posts across different platforms

    Cons: - 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

    Overall: Buffer is highly user-friendly, ideal for managing and scheduling posts across multiple social media accounts. It makes content planning and posting consistency a lot easier. Analytics that Buffer provide are useful, but it lacks the depth that advanced marketers require. Pricing is reasonable, but premium features can feel limited for the price, especially for smaller businesses and startups.

    "All I need in service to schedule my social media posts."

    Posted 2023-12-12

    Pros: Buffer is one of the most straightforward products to use. They have a free trial where I can try scheduling for different social media.

    Cons: 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.

    Overall: It is a good service for beginners and professionals from small teams to keep up with consistent posting on social media.

    "Social media productive channel"

    Posted 2023-11-22

    Pros: 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: 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

    Overall: I can sleep and not worry about my videos to be posted at scheduled time. Its user interface is top notch and easy to cope up with. Its web page builder has lots of tools and easy to use too. I could create a web page in just few clicks and use it to drive traffic.

    "Complete social media tool"

    Posted 2022-09-25

    Pros: Buffer provides an easy tool to build an active audience on social media slowly but surely, with the right features it is very easy to plan a strategy that helps our social media accounts grow and our audience engage more with our content. I can schedule a great amount of posts in advance and edit the different dates and it will post the day that I set without any issues, it allows me to plan everything in advance and have something well prepared because of this feature, since we can think twice if we are putting out the message we want to convey, and provide the perfect content for everyone that follows us on Instagram and Facebook and improve all our connections. We are able to preview the scheduled posts and know how everything will look together and decide if there are changes to be made or if the posts fits with the overall image of our social media accounts, this is a very convenient feature as it helps us plan everything knowing already what it will look like on our account, having this tool helps us a lot with realizing what works and what doesn’t.
    It does not only allow to schedule and plan content for social media, but it also has a couple of intuitive tools that help analyze interactions with the accounts, studying performance over a certain period of time and showing in-depth insights of how the accounts are doing through a main dashboard that shows all the KPIs and the growth of impressions, comments, likes, clicks, followers and more, and make comparisons with past posts and also create different comparisons between paid advertising that we make and organic posts, and see how well each one is doing in the accounts. Buffer has the capability to analyze and report different metrics that are important to the growth of a social media account, and know which demographic your content is being put on, so that if you are in the wrong demographic, do something else to change that and actually reach the right audience for your brand. It is not difficult to use at all, it is actually very simple and has the most user-friendly interface that I have come across, with all the placement of features being really self explanatory and the usage of them too, it is a tool that sends out alerts whenever a post is going up so we can keep an eye on all the metrics and see that it posted correctly.

    Cons: I would like to be able to schedule Instagram stories, right now I can only set up alarms so the software notifies me when to upload, but I would like to just schedule them without having to think too much about it, I understand that it is a big feature that needs to be worked on but I still would like to be able to do this straight from the software without any limitations, it would save a lot of time since we regularly post on Instagram stories so that means setting alerts constantly, so it would be highly beneficial to just simply schedule them and the software taking care of the rest.

    Overall: When managing a business, social media is an important part of it that some people do not pay enough attention to. It is one of the secret keys for a business’ success and that is why we wanted something that could handle all the challenges that come with managing social media accounts without being too difficult to use or to implement. We did not go wrong with Buffer, it is the most simple social media tool and it has helped us achieve all our short term and long term goals since its implementation, it is a great way to advertise our products and get more people to know our company, in my opinion, it reaches people more than browsing our website and we have been able to grow our sales because this solution has helped increase our engagement in all our posts and now more people are interested in getting a quote, it has been very easy to use on our daily routine and we are constantly updated on what is going on in terms of engagement, it is definitely a professional tool that is perfect to slowly build a brand on social media.

    "Smart and Intuitive"

    Posted 2022-01-16

    Pros: Great social media calendar for small businesses. The automatic posting option is great for those who want to focus on their social media but have other priorities at hand as well.

    Cons: There's a limit if you have the free version, but in my opinion, upgrading is worth it. Sometimes the automatic posting does have glitches where it will say it didn't post but it did.

    Overall: Overall, I'm a big fan of this social media calendar. I recommend it to clients before any other social media calendar as it is easy to use and I love the mobile features. It's the first social media calendar I've used, and it certainly won't be the last time I use it.

    Cons: The paid plan is pretty expensive when compared to other schedulers. I also think the mobile app is less user-friendly than other schedulers.

    Overall: Overall I enjoy using buffer so I can connect all my social media accounts in one place. I am able to reply to comments and DMs through the Buffer platform which is nice and such a time saver.
