Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
Hootsuite has gotten soooooo expensive in relation to the functionality it provides. The value is just not there compared to when prices were lower for SMBs.

In contrast, CoSchedule Marketing Suite provides huge value for the price and the tiered pricing based on users, number …
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
CoSchedule is definitely a more powerful marketing tool than Loomly or Buffer, which are more dedicated to straight social media scheduling. I preview the calendar overview offered by CoSchedule, which makes it easy to see everything at a glance. PromoRepublic is similar but …
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
CoSchedule offers a lot more than some of its competitors, but you have to evaluate what your organization needs and doesn't need. For some organizations, they only need a content planner for social media, and CoSchedule might not be the best fit due to price compared to some …
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
CoSchedule provides collaborative planning of projects. The calendar view is very well designed. Meetings and tasks can be scheduled and tracked easily. Whatever is being done, no matter how big the task/project is, it gives a bird-eye view of everything. Additionally, it also …
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
After trying other social media scheduling tools, CoSchedule is my favorite. Like I said previously, it fills the gaps I've found in other tools. I feel more organized with CoSchedule and prefer their mobile app as well.
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
CoSchedule better supports the content creation and redistribution of content activities. The best thing was that you can get it all automated here, while other tools do not provide with support. I would say CoSchedule is one of the best tools for managing both content and …

Crescendo has some very powerful features such as a built in editor that provides a simpler editing suite than Wordpress, especially valuable for contributors. The fact that it has multiple levels of contributor/author/editor is a real plus. There is also a comments box that …

We have not used many competitors, but we stick with Olapic because of the capabilities that it offers. We don't use much of the reporting functionality, but it is a great tool to allow for collaboration between team members. It also allows us options when it comes to sharing …
Chose Olapic
We had not implemented SalesForce previously, so we went with Olapic due to cost and ease of use. We are implementing SalesForce shortly, though, so we may need to reassess Olapic if they have conflicts or do not work optimally with SalesForce. We would like easier …

CoSchedule does more than just content planning, it helps you organize your content, betters your content with headline analyzers, and allows you to organize your work and marketing calendars as well. If your organization is in a spot where you need a well-rounded tool to help with content, marketing, or even task organization, CoSchedule might be the right fit.

The concept of Olapic- being able to pull in user-generated content and use it in your marketing and website tools is very exciting; however, the software is not ideal for businesses who do not sell direct to consumers via e-comm.

Pros
  • Best time to post is great at updating to when we get the most engagement by platform
  • Requeue tool to slate out additional posts for a given piece of content is a huge time saver
  • Aggregate analytics tool shows us a peek across our posts on a given platform that's actually easier to read than the platform itself

  • Allows you to tag new content.
  • Keeps track of mentions and consent to repurpose content for a brand.
  • Provides insights and trends based on social performance.

Cons
  • The import Google Doc to WordPress functionality never worked successfully or reliably for me. So I just manually copy and paste Google Docs to the WordPress editor instead.
  • The social sharing counter was not that helpful, because it only counted Facebook and Google+. Who uses Google+ anymore? Plus, now they don't even show the social counter in the monthly calendar view. so you can't see the numbers without doing some extra digging.
  • In the monthly calendar view, some titles get cut off if they don't wrap cleanly in the day's box. So I would make it look cleaner instead of having words broken up by a hyphen.

  • So far we haven't leveraged their seeding program to generate more content, I'm not sure how well it would work.
  • Moderation can be somewhat tedious since our brand name is similar to words that generate unusable content on Insta, though Olapic does offer moderation services at an additional price to take away the false results.

Usability
The interface is very intuitive, from setting up social profiles, to posting, to tags, to optimizing for best day/time to post. It's super easy to scan the aggregate analytics. The calendar is very easy to grok at a glance, and the more advanced functionality is intuitive to set up.

Support Rating
I didn't have to use their official support, but I can say that they put out a lot of content online to help users. Their YouTube page has quite an array of tutorial videos explaining how things work and how to get the most out of their tools. If you're struggling, before picking up a phone or blasting off an email, try searching for your problem on YouTube or their forums.

CoSchedule is definitely a more powerful marketing tool than Loomly or Buffer, which are more dedicated to straight social media scheduling. I preview the calendar overview offered by CoSchedule, which makes it easy to see everything at a glance. PromoRepublic is similar but has the added Canva-type integration, which makes it more appealing to our clients who want to be able to easily put together their own images. CoSchedule is a bit pricy, which can be prohibitive for clients who don't pay in dollars.

We had not implemented Salesforce previously, so we went with Olapic due to cost and ease of use. We are implementing Salesforce shortly, though, so we may need to reassess Olapic if they have conflicts or do not work optimally with Salesforce. We would like easier cooperation with Instagram since TapShop implementation can be rough in EU markets.
