Review

“A long-standing, feature-rich choice for agencies managing many accounts.”

Hootsuite was one of the original social media management platforms and still offers the broadest platform and integration coverage.

The interface feels dated next to newer entrants, but the analytics and team-approval workflows remain genuinely enterprise-grade.
