Echobox Social vs. X Pro

Echobox Social is well suited to publishers and media organisations who are publishing daily online content that needs sharing across social platforms. It works best if your social media objective is driving traffic to your articles/website. It would be suitable for both small and large organisations, as it allows multiple users with different access.

TweetDeck is very useful in an industry that requires the gathering of news and sharing of one's own content. We use it on a daily basis to keep track of breaking stories and key trends to inform what content we produce. After this content is produced and published, we then push it on social using TweetDeck. While many things are posted immediately, we also schedule a lot of content throughout the day to ensure 24-hour coverage. The platform is remarkably suited to this job, more so than the native web client.

• Organizes our social media posts across both Facebook and Twitter
• Easy scheduling of posts, with AI driving the scheduling of optimal times for each story
• AI ferrets out best-performing posts and schedules them during the weekend and other downtimes when we are not actively engaging our readers

• TweetDeck provides a detailed snapshot of your timeline and mentions in one view.
• TweetDeck allows for scheduling across multiple accounts, and shows when each tweet is ready for publish.
• TweetDeck allows you to customize the information you see for each account. If you don't want to see mentions but do want to see DMs for a certain account, you can do that.

• Since I'm Brazilian, and our whole team is based in Brazil, would be great if the whole platform was translated for Portuguese. There are no many English speakers in Brazil, to be honest. That would make it easier
• Tik Tok. Would be nice if somehow Echobox could provide their AI for Tik Tok Users

• Muting in lists - I have several lists, but I am only allowed to mute in a home feed. I would like to mute things not just in home, but in lists as well.
• I have no other complaints. I really love Tweetdeck.

Because I am totally satisfied with Echobox service. I find it balanced between the service itself and its cost. Compared to its competitors, it is, without a doubt, the best product for small publishers. It only lacks in a greater and more efficient management of statistics which, at the moment, is absent. I will definitely renew Echobox!

As I previously mentioned, if TweetDeck were to increase some features and integrations, cleaned up its interface, and developed a tool to measure ROI, it would remain competitive with HootSuite and Hubspot. Altogether, it is an effective tool for the job of scheduling and monitoring your impact on Twitter, it falls behind other competitors that offer a more robust solution.

Echobox Social's user interface is straightforward to navigate and even members of our team who are not necessarily social media specialists can step in when needed. The schedule queue is very easy to understand, meaning different team members can see what content is scheduled to be posted. When trying to edit the automation settings, each feature is well explained if you hover over the question mark button.

I think TweetDeck is very easy to use and set up. If you've used Twitter or X before, you will be able to easily understand how to use TweetDeck, as they base their UX/UI on the real platform. It has a similar look and feel, though you can do much more when logged into a single account on the platform.

TweetDeck tends to be available for use majority of the time...however, I've had times where it would get stuck in a loop and then post my Tweet multiple times.

Besides posting multiple times when stuck in a loop not other real issues.

When there have been problems, they’ve usually been resolved very quickly. Some issues have occurred such as not being able to download images or posts not going out when the service has crashed, but they’re also very open to feedback. The option to download pictures loaded into the feed stories was my suggestion; saving us time creating new images and getting the posts out quickly

TweetDeck is a great platform for using Twitter, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who continues to use the native client. Having both a web client and application means it can be used anywhere and on any computer, even if you are unable to install applications on your PC. For any news editor who needs to keep tabs on the latest news and promote your own content - TweetDeck is a must-have.

You just have to keep in mind that it can take a day or two to have the set up of an account all done.

Easy download and launch of application.

Echobox AI function (the ability to decide when is the best time to share a post) is a [game-changer] and also the UI is cleaner and easier to use. I found Hootsuite confusing and complicated. It has too many windows and also doesn't pull the articles automatically. There is no comparison really, Echobox is miles ahead.

We found TweetDeck was simpler to use and easier to navigate for handling tweets than Hootsuite. While it did not have the broader ability to handle multiple social media platforms, unlike Hootsuite, its ability to give you great oversight of many Twitter/X accounts at once meant it was the ideal tool for that platform. Hootsuite, however, has deeper sophistication and opportunities for social media managers looking to handle everything in one place.

• Positive impact: time-saving. We have saved on staff costs and other staff are able to focus on more skilled tasks than manual scheduling
• Positive impact: improved output. We have seen an increase in traffic, page views, and more digital subscriptions and email sign-ups since we started using Echobox

• As an intern it is much easier to get through social media posting and move on to other tasks with a scheduling tool like TweetDeck.
• Although TweetDeck helps our small staff stay very active on social media, it is not an integral part of what we do on our site. Instead, it helps the team focus on creating content by cutting down time spent managing social media accounts.
