Fantastic Service for the Price

What differentiates Sprout Social from other similar products?
Back when my agency switched from HootSuite to Sprout Social, they were one of the first to simply cross-posting to social media--adding options to post to not only FB and Twitter but also IG, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc. That was a huge labor-saving plus for my organization.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
SproutSocial gives you a nice preview feature, so you can see what future-scheduled social posts will look like before they're actually published. Sounds like common sense, but not all social media software services had this origiinally.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Not always the greatest uploading dynamic content like videos or GIFs--sometimes gives you issues.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Talk to them about customized pricing to fit your needs. Their service reps are pretty flexible in adjusting pricing to the number of accounts/users you may need if one of their preset plans isn't perfect for you.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Respectful

What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like best that our team took a short period of time to learn how to use the platform. Also what worked best for us is routing all our social media channels into our website. This created efficiency among our team efforts to post content and to have the flexibility to manage under one single platform. The reporting tool is great and having the ability to tag a post is useful in identifying what works for us greatly.

I would love to see competitive analytics in custom reports. Aside from this, it has been a great platform that we are not planning to switch from it any time soon.
