Loomly Erfahrungen

Dies ist eine professionelle Software

Vorteile:

Dies ist wirklich mein Lieblings-Business-Tool aller Zeiten. Es ist super einfach zu bedienen, sodass ich mir keine Gedanken über das Niveau der technischen Fähigkeiten machen muss – jedes Teammitglied kann es verwenden, unabhängig davon, wie gut es mit „Technik“ ist.

Nachteile:

Das Planen von Beiträgen ist manchmal etwas umständlich,

Can’t work without it

Vorteile:

This is truly my favorite business tool, ever. It’s super easy to use so I don’t have to worry about level of tech skill - each team member can use it regardless of their comfort with “tech.” The wizard is useful for newer folks but not cumbersome for experienced people. I love That you can duplicate posts within the same calendar or copy them to another calendar at the click of a button. It’s sooooo easy to manage multiple brands and products. I can see them all at once or individually. Oh and one of the best parts? The price! It’s so nicely priced it takes no begging to get management on board. LOVE LOOMLY!!

Nachteile:

My only Suggestion for improvement would be letting users hide bits like the target audience tab if you don’t use it. But that’s it. And I know how to jump over it if I don’t want to use it.

The best social media calendar for organization out there!

Kommentare: My overall experience with Loomly has been positive. It's helped us save a TON of time when it comes to organizing social media posts. We wouldn't be able to keep up with the constant social media posting if it wasn't for Loomly!

Vorteile:

Loomly helps us create and organize all of our social media posts in one easy-to-use calendar. We can schedule Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and more social posts in the Loomly platform. I love the calendar view, where we can easily see all of our social posts in one section. I also love that you can drag-and-drop to quickly reschedule certain posts, making it very easy to organize and plan out our calendar. The auto-posting function is great, where it automatically publishes your posts to your social media accounts, saving us time and energy. There is also a great approval system where you can submit your posts for review if another coworker in your company would like to review them first before publishing.

Nachteile:

I don't love that Loomly doesn't integrate with Instagram. Loomly can automatically publish your social posts to Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin, but it doesn't connect to Instagram. You have to go through another 3rd party website called Zapier which costs money and is a little complicated to set up (it's also very glitchy in our experience). So we still have to manually publish our Instagram posts each day.

You pay what you get for

Kommentare: Their customer service is great. The view of the posts is great. But not having Instagram is a huge missed opportunity. I know they are working on it- but taking away a functionality that was once there is really frustrating.

Vorteile:

It is super nice to see the calendar view and the ease of use is pretty great. I also love the recommendations they provide based on if your post is posting at the right time, right length, or even just some ideas on what to post as far as holidays that day etc.

Nachteile:

You can no longer post directly to instagram! As an agency we made this platform as a recommendation to clients and now it really stinks that it no longer does what we said it could do because they took away the instagram publishing. This is huge.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Sprout Social

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: Pricing honestly.

Loomly - Ease of use and never fails to impress

Vorteile:

I really like how easy it is to integrate your social accounts, as well as how you can edit graphics right through the app

Nachteile:

Sometimes it logs you out of your accounts which can create a failed scheduled post

Great option for SMM's

Kommentare: My overall experience with Loomly has been amazing. I switched from Buffer and haven't looked back!

Vorteile:

I have used almost every social media management platform under the sun and Loomly is by far my favorite. When I started my own business I had a robust checklist of items I needed in a platform and Loomly fit 95% of those. Some of the features I love include: A schedule of upcoming holidays and important dates Advanced scheduling features like being able to move a post from one date to the next using the calendar feature. You would be surprised how many platforms don't offer this. The ability to schedule one post across platforms and edit the content for that specific platform. This to me is HUGE. The support - the support is amazing, I always receive relevant, friendly responses in a timely manner. The collaborators feature. My client love being able to log in and approve posts. It's simple and easy for them. The Library- I love being able to store ideas for later, saves a lot of time! These are just a few of the amazing tools Loomly offers.

Nachteile:

Loomly doesn't offer direct posting to Instagram although I know it's in the works.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Agorapulse, PromoRepublic und Hootsuite

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: They didn't offer the functionalities I was looking for.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Buffer

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: The client functionalities, the white-labeling options, the customer support, the post ideas, the library, the posting experience, etc.

Best and most cost-efficient social media tool I've encountered so far.

Kommentare: Loomly makes it really easy to schedule content, then customize it for each channel. The analytics reporting is stellar, too. When onboarding new users, it's easy since it's so user-friendly. Overall, a really good tool.

Vorteile:

I love the depth and ease of reporting analytics. The ability to simply pull up a screen, apply a filter and see so much detailed data that's easy to digest isn't something I've seen with the other platforms I've used, which includes the usual popular tools.

Nachteile:

I'm wishing that the connection between Instagram Stories and Pinterest was as robust as it is for the other channels.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Sprout Social, Buffer und Hootsuite

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: Loomly is more user-friendly and the ability to customize and see each post as it would appear on the channel is a bonus.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Buffer

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: Better price than some, easier to use than others, best and most efficient analytics reporting

So nice I'm using it twice

Kommentare: I used Loomly for my side business for over a year, and finally had the chance to utilize it at my day job a few months ago. Our Marketing Manager loves it, and no longer has to go from social media account to account trying to keep up with everything. The calendar view is wonderful. The customer service really gets me — the original onboarding was very friendly, and when I had a question about my most current account, the chat was super fast.

Vorteile:

This is the first social media organizing software whose interface makes sense to me. I'm not fighting it. I actually look forward to using it. There are multiple views, I can connect a variety of social media, and I can customize and schedule each post.

Nachteile:

Instagram integration isn't at 100% right now. We have to manually publish some posts. That gets frustrating, though they are working on it.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Buffer

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: The interface and the level of customer service.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Hootsuite

Budget friendly alternative to HootSuite

Kommentare: Overall Loomly has been great. All of the features we need at a fraction of the cost of other similar solutions.

Vorteile:

Loomly includes all of the features we were looking for. Notably, the post approval workflow/feature is really helpful and something that isn't included with other solutions at a similar price point.

Nachteile:

Our team hasn't found many things that we don't like about Loomly. There were a few adjustments that needed to be made to our workflow, but nothing too significant. The only thing I would change is the ability to display one post scheduled for multiple dates/channels separately on the calendar.

Great for freelance social media marketing!

Kommentare: Overall, Loomly has been a very helpful tool when scheduling and managing multiple social media channels.

Vorteile:

I like the layout and ease of scheduling posts on multiple platforms at once. I can start with my "base post" and change/update each channel. I like the ability to save the hashtags, and now that I can schedule multiple photos on IG, I'm just about set!

Nachteile:

I don't love the analytics (but that's not a big deal). Other than that, it's really been a great experience.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: HubSpot Marketing Hub, Agorapulse und Later

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: Loomly was overall easier to use, on the lower end of the price range, and very simple to teach to others.

Best, Simple Social Media Scheduling Tool

Kommentare: Loomly is simple, reliable, and inexpensive. I'd definitely recommend it.

Vorteile:

This tool is functional, easy to learn, and very inexpensive. If you're new to social media scheduling or looking for something basic, this is the way to go. I'm impressed that they don't charge tons of extra fees for having multiple accounts on there, making this tool ideal for a freelancer.

Nachteile:

It's not easy to switch to a calendar function like it is on competitors' tools.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: CoSchedule Marketing Suite und Hootsuite

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: I got the tool to manage a specific client's social, and they were on a budget.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Sprout Social und CoSchedule Marketing Suite

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: Price and availability of a free trial.

Great tool for your business

Vorteile:

I really enjoy the ease of use for Loomly for our business. I'm able to schedule out our social media across many channels for multiple accounts. I appreciate how I can 'set it and forget it' for the certain social accounts.

Nachteile:

The few things I struggle with the most are not having Loomly auto publish to Instagram. I understand that this is in the works and will hopefully happen soon. The other pieces are not being able to edit photos within the system such as cropping or minor adjustments to photo editing, and having an emoji feature to add to the content.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Hootsuite

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: We wanted a platform that allowed for multiple social accounts to be scheduled out in advance and something that would be affordable for our company. Loomly offered a non-profit discount which was extremely beneficial to our business.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Later

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: The cost was a deciding factor for choosing this platform.

Better Than the Others

Kommentare: I had been using Hootsuite before trying Loomly but it was buggy and expensive, Loomly has more features and is cheaper – a much better value. My team has loved using Loomly over other platforms and we'll never go back.

Vorteile:

I love that you can preview how your posts are going to look in your instagram feed before you post.

Nachteile:

The only con is there isn't direct publishing to Instagram, but that's Instagram's fault.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Hootsuite

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: Hootsuite was buggy and dropping features, and was incredibly expensive for multi-user use.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Hootsuite

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: Loomly's interface is much easier to use than other softwares and they have bonus features than others don't have, such as previewing your Instagram posts in the feed once scheduled.

Outstanding platform built for Social Media experts by social media experts

Kommentare: Loomly is by far the best tool for solving client approvals. Clients love the simplicity and sometimes even take to the platform in the form of creating suggested content for you. That's unreal! No other platform can deliver value like that: clients refuse to learn new systems.
Loomly constantly ads new features ... totally free. Make the most of them and become your office super start. These features are: publishing to Google My Business, storing hashtag lists, content writing tips and more any more.

Vorteile:

Extremely reliable platform that will help you make more money as it will handle some of your most time consuming worries like client content suggestions, client approvals, and flexible scheduling. The level of feedback us unreal and every piece of advice is delivered exactly when you need it.

Nachteile:

There are many extra tools included for free like reporting, link tracking and community management. Those features won't replace your dedicated tools, but they aren't intended too either.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Sprout Social, Zoho Social, Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud, Tailwind TMS und Hootsuite

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: Sprout social has gotten expensive and hasn't updated their platform since their most recent acquisition. It's pains me to have to pay for multiple social profiles when they all belong to the same client.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Sprout Social

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: Loomly were not the cheapest but as soon as I took up a trial I could see great value from the platform's simplicity. It's as easy as a replacement for your google sheet content planner with a ton of useful tools added on.

Best social media planning tool out there

Kommentare: Very very awesome. I recommend Loomly to everyone I meet who asks about social media planning tools, because it's just the best one I've found and used ever.

Vorteile:

I have tried various other social media planning tools, and Loomly just ticks all the boxes. This program covers the widest range of social media outlets that I've found, while allowing me to schedule out posts for every single one, and customize to every single outlet all on the same page. The suggested captions/topics are immensely helpful when I'm feeling less than creative, and the UI makes putting together posts really simple and fast.

Nachteile:

I still wish I could post to Instagram automatically without having to use a notification to my phone and posting manually.

Makes you feel like a social media pro

Kommentare: Despite the limitation of viewing analytics on our current plan, we're pleased with the features that are available to us. The recommendations that are placed throughout the dashboard are helpful to beef up your social media postings and are things we wouldn't consider had it not been for them. Loomly makes us feel as if we're social media gurus simply by giving us tips on how to use their platform.

Vorteile:

Major benefit of Loomly is the ability to preview your post before it publishes. You'll see the draft text, image preview and link so that you know exactly what will be posted. In addition, before you post, it has indicators or suggestions below the preview to let you know if you need to cut back on text, add an image, when the best time and day to post is and how to increase engagement. Loomly allows you to create individual calendars of accounts you'll be posting content to. With several social media profiles we manage, it's a convenient feature to view all published posts with all accounts or a single one.

Nachteile:

You need to upgrade your plan to the next level (Standard) in order to view any analytics. While we are on the Base plan, it isn't a part of our subscription which you'd think would be a standard for any paid account.

Unique Organization for Optimal Analytics

Kommentare: This software has allowed us to speed our workflow with minimal effort without adjusting how we strategize and build social campaigns. It is the one management software that I have found that actually works the way we work rather than forcing us into a different workflow. Finally, superior analytical tracking has helped us raise the bar on how we write, design, and strategize our social campaigns and buckets.

Vorteile:

The ability to tag posts has enabled us to dig deeper into our analytics, tracking content items by subject and design elements, to promote knowledgeable decision making when we revise quarterly social strategy.

Nachteile:

As a relatively new software, there are certain features that they are working to debug, correct, or expand. Some elements in the post building process could likely be streamlined. But customer service is very transparent with issues and opportunities and very willing to help.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Buffer

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: Similar cost, improved internal workflow

Zuvor genutzte Software: Hootsuite

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: Our previous workflow involved a continuous transfer of date between Google Sheets (where we strategized, wrote, and went through approvals) and Hootsuite. This software gave us the same workflow, at the same price, but in one system. It also allowed more targeted analytics that we can continually customize to our needs.

Gets the Job Done but Could Be Better

Kommentare: I think it's alright, and probably would have preferred to implement something more similar to planable. The reason we chose loomly is because it was cheaper, and while the tool isn't terrible by any means, we're getting what we paid for.

Vorteile:

I like that I can tag people in comments on posts so we can communicate about edits. I also like that posts are color-coded depending on their status (pending approval vs. scheduled). One thing that's really helpful is being able to edit content for each platform once the initial post is built out. It's awesome that you can drag and drop posts in the calendar view to change their dates.

Nachteile:

I don't like that I can't see a preview of the post image in the calendar view. That would make things a lot easier. I also would love if when I went to edit a post from the calendar, it would just show up in a pop up window but it doesn't do that. In order to add anything to a post past "quick post" you have to go through and fill out ALL the steps which can get annoying.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Planable

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: We needed a way to communicate and collaborate with each other on posts that was more seamless than just emailing back and forth. Loomly had this feature, and that was a big part of why we switched.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Hootsuite

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: We chose loomly because it was more affordable than planable.

Makes my life simpler

Vorteile:

I am a freelance brand consultant and help many of my clients with social media campaigns. I chose Loomly after my trial because I enjoy the user interface, it supports multiple clients easily, the built-in reporting and audience targeting is really helpful for month-end result analysis for my clients. I also enjoy the main page where daily inspirations and a summary of scheduled messages can be found - this has been effective in keeping me organized and

Nachteile:

I'd like to see an incorporation of Lists on Twitter in the Loomly interface for quick review.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Sprout Social

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: I felt like for the price point I enjoyed Loomly as an overall experience especially for managing multiple client accounts more than my previous platform, the reporting that comes with the subscription and ease of use. Loomly...I like your style ;)

Zuvor genutzte Software: Hootsuite

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: I tried several but SproutSocial and Hootsuite were the main two I was trying to choose from and then I found Loomly, I found it to be the perfect price for use tool for my size of consultancy and my first months of use have reinforced that I have made the right choice.

Excellent, clean design for anyone looking to organize their multiple social media channels

Kommentare: Overall positive, looking forward to new features coming

Vorteile:

Easy to use, other social media management tools felt clunky and crowded. Loomly had everything we needed to manage multiple social media channels.

Nachteile:

Still missing some featured with facebook events and some functions

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Sprout Social, Buffer und Hootsuite

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: Too clunky, outdated, too expensive.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Hootsuite

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: Cleanest look and design, easy to use. I really like how it separates multiple calendars as well as how it allows for teamwork.

Great for small teams!

Vorteile:

I love that our team can preschedule the week for social and not have to worry about live posting every day. It's just a weekly task unless something time-sensitive pops up. We have a smaller team and each member focus' on more than just social, so it's great to not have to have someone constantly stop what they're doing every time a post needs to go live or schedule​ in each of the different platforms. Also, the ability​ to customize the messaging for each platform in one place after writing the general messaging is so easy!

Nachteile:

Sometimes the Instagram integration glitches and we have to stop and manually push, but it always sends a notification via email and the app if something​ doesn't go through.

Loomly is a savior when it comes to managing social media

Kommentare: As a small business I don't have the budget to hire a dedicated social media manager. I am very busy and wear many hats. Posting to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media channels can be time consuming, as well as tracking social media interactions . Loomly makes it much easier to manage all this.

Vorteile:

With Loomly, you can manage all your social media content and interactions from one platform. I find it easier to use than similar offerings from other companies. The interface is simpler and cleaner. I can receive information via email, push notifications or even Slack. So when people engage with my content on my social media channels, I receive alerts.

Nachteile:

I wish Loomly was integrated with WordPress so that posts could autopublish from WordPress vial Loomly to all my social media channels.

Easiest to use

Kommentare: It's been great and really easy to use. I love how visual it is and it's extremely easy to get client's approve posts

Vorteile:

It is very visually pleasing and easy to use

Nachteile:

The Instagram posting, but that's an IG problem

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: eclincher

Warum Loomly gewählt wurde: The cost

Zuvor genutzte Software: Sprout Social

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loomly: I liked the interface better of Loomly

Time savings, essential marketing tool

Kommentare: Very good

Vorteile:

It is simple to use as a manager but also as a user. I can monitor new users and get an overview with the entire team

Nachteile:

I would love more analytics ideally but understand there are restrictions due to APIs. I would also like to see new features for each platform roll out more quickly but understand the challenges of testing first.

Great for Large Teams - user friendly, easy to navigate and great workflow

Kommentare: Overall, the experience has been great. Love the workflow and easy navigation.

Vorteile:

We love how easy it is to navigate through Loomly. It's user-friendly and well organized. We have a team of individuals that work on Loomly and it is super easy to assign roles, get notifications and make updates when needed.

Nachteile:

Three things I would love to see on Loomly: 1) Automatic Instagram publishing - which I know you are working on but a timeframe would be nice to know. 2) Easy access to the master calendar on the mobile app. 3) For "passed" scheduled posts, add an option to directly post instead of having to reschedule.
