Marg Zoho Social

I like the ability to schedule multiple posts in one go using an excel spreadsheet. And I like being able multiple brands. It would be nice to have these features included in my CRM though.

The way Zoho has so many different apps and you have to pay for each of them separately. For a small business I want one system to rule them alll. I'm sick of having to jump from one website to another and I don't know what is the best tool to do the job. I can do the same thing in several places and often feel like I'm missing something which I have in another app. It's TOO modular.

Being able to post on several platforms and schedule future posts provides great efficiency savings.

I like that it has a great format. I like that its easy to use and does a lot. It is easy to see what's posting and to track everything. Also has a good amount of social media platforms. Auto pulls the images for the links your are posting which is great!!

The bulk uploader is a pain in the butt. It is so glitchy. It errors with one mistake. Other bulk uploaders I have used are easier but don't allow photo upload (Hootsuite or require a lot of fields (buffer and this one can do literally 3 fields, which is nice. But it gives you the same exact error message no matter what. And it doesn't tell you if you tried to post in the past. It just errors.

Also- they don't do daylight savings time so for half the year, it posts an hour late for your time zone in the USA. So you have to switch time zones to post on time.

Definately try the product. Its a great product, but does have glitches. I'm told its getting fixed so try it and see if you like it.

We are trying to solve scheduling and saving time on social media. Still working out the kinks.

Full, functional reporting that makes sense. It's actually fun to use. You get a bird's eye view of your posts performance, with graphs and metrics that allow you to understand what is working for you and what isn't.

1 The link shortener is unreliable...

2frequently during use it would issue an "Error" that something didn't work right with Instagram, or Google+ or linkedin...then upon exiting the application, and literally copying and pasting the content back in it would work fine.

3 It's nearly impossible to figure out how to navigate to calendar view, and also to edit posts for individual networks...I mean...really difficult. Sure..theres a way, but you have to hold your nose a certain way.

4 MOST IMPORTANT - Totally missing out on the RSS feed importer - much of the competition is using this, and it makes life SO MUCH easier.

If any of these 3 were done, my rating would easily move to a 7 - but the competition is pretty thick for this kind of product...it needs a little more than the bare bones to get into competition with the other players.

Try before you buy - it looks slick but it's not quite "there" yet.

social media analytics are good. I see win's and losses immediately in almost real time. It's allowing me to narrow down what kind of media is successful on which networks.

I can schedule free post for 30 days. Good

They dont have a limited free plan with future schedule

Expand my presence in social media

Pretty easy to use but the free version doesnt have any of the monitoring so hard to tell

Would be great to have more options on free version

NA. Need to try out the professional plan.
