Buffer

Buffer is a great tool with a Minor Limitation

Kommentare: Using Buffer has been a transformative experience for managing my social media presence. The platform offers a seamless and efficient way to schedule and post content across various social media channels, including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Its intuitive interface and robust features have significantly streamlined my workflow, allowing me to focus more on creating engaging content rather than managing the logistics of posting.

Vorteile:

The AI assistance for making the post content better which is one of the most important reason.

Nachteile:

The one downside I’ve encountered with Buffer is the text limit for Twitter/X posts. While this is more of a constraint imposed by Twitter/X itself, it would be great if Buffer could offer some features or tips to help manage these limits more effectively, like an automatic character counter or suggestions for shortening text. Overall, despite this minor limitation, Buffer remains a powerful and efficient tool for managing social media campaigns

Perfect for Big Teams

Kommentare: Over it has been great. I really appreciate the customer service

Vorteile:

That we can incporate our whole team without being overcharged for each team member! I also appreciate how easy it is to use and that they have an app. This is great for onboarding new users.

Nachteile:

I wish it notified admins faster when a post is drafted for approval and alternatively I wish it notified the person who submitted the post for approval when there post is approved and what time it is approved for.

Buffer is great for social media post management... once you're past the painful setup

Vorteile:

Buffer has a pretty generous free tier, compared to some of its competitors. I used it awhile back for personal accounts and have now come back to it again to manage my business's social media posts. The scheduling tool is easy to use and I like that I can connect it to other tools like Canva and Google Drive. Being able to use it from either my phone or desktop is useful as well.

Nachteile:

Setting up new social media accounts with Buffer is PAINFUL. For example, if I want to connect my Instagram account, it HAS to be a business account, and then Buffer for some reason requires that that Instagram account is ALSO connected to a Facebook Page, and I have to log in via Facebook in order to authenticate. Buffer says that all Instagram business accounts have to be connected to FB Pages, but that isn't actually true. I had to create a basically fake FB Page to connect to my Instagram in order to be able to use Buffer with it. It's way too many steps.

Best low price multi platform social media publishing service

Kommentare: Overall I've had a good experience. Besides the set up, sometimes I have a hard time publishing because one of the social media services doesn't like the shape of the picture I'm trying to put out. I have to resize it a few times.

Vorteile:

I've been using Buffer on and off for many years now but regularly for over 6 months. It's been an interesting ride. I really like the capabilities of being able to publish to three platforms, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. The scheduling is the next most important thing to me and it has worked well.

Nachteile:

For starters I had a heck of a time connecting Instagram and Facebook to Buffer. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops and didn't enjoy wasting hours of my time. To be clear, I don't think it is Buffers fault. I'm pretty sure Meta makes Buffer do all this. It doesn't matter though, I had to work hard to get it all set up.

Easy and Powerful!

Kommentare: Excellent tool that doesn't hinder workflow and is easy to use.

Vorteile:

A powerful tool that helps keep all our social media content organized and easy to schedule.

Nachteile:

I liked everything about Buffer. It was super easy to use and it was effective
