It needs the ability to save hashtags. Some of the other tools offer this, so I emailed Planable and asked them to consider adding it.

When you start working with Vista Social, every major feature is well documented and has an intuitive onboarding with helpful steps. So is a good feature by itself when scaling your team is needed. The other one, on a similar line, is the live preview of the post, which helped us fine tuning the posts quickly and with no surprises. In my experience with the platform —I haven’t come across anything that didn’t do what it was supposed to.

Pros
  • Plan posts on multiple platforms at once
  • Approval workflow
Read full review
  • The design and layout of the site is simple, with the options to click through the different tools on the left hand side of the page. What I liked most about Vista Social is the ability to combine all the different tools that a social media manager needs into one platform.
  • I typically use various different apps and platforms to write down notes, assign tasks to different team members, and look at my overall content calendar for the month. It is brilliant that Vista Social is able to combine all of these into one platform.
  • When first signing up to Vista Social and exploring the platform, each page offers you a walkthrough of all of the tools available to you, which is really handy, as well as a customer support section on the right bottom hand corner.

Cons
  • Add hashtags in the tool so you can save them for future use
Read full review
  • I think the price is quite high compared to hiring a person for the same task. This may put one off from purchasing as with a bit more time you can do the same job yourself or with an employee for much less
  • In my opinion, the interface is rather complicated visually and doesn't have an appeal. It is cramped with so many features that provide a sense of confusion whilst starting off
  • In my experience, the tutorials do leave a few questions afterwards regarding set up and this can take more time to figure out by yourself.

Usability
It does what you need, but could have a bit more features for the price. $30 a month just to post things on Facebook or Instagram is a bit steep, given that that's all you can do.

It's just perfect in all point because you have everything to manage your business. Keypoint is really message automatisation cause you can send message and take your time on an another point. The fact to schedule your post is also a very good point and very usefull on LinkedIn bye exemple.

Support Rating
Emailed them a month ago to add hashtags, but they didn't add the functionality yet. Given that the product has stayed exactly the same since, I'm guessing the developers don't want to add this feature so I give the support a rating of 1.

Alternatives Considered
Cheaper, however, Kontentino does have the ability to save hashtags.

While they all offer basic scheduling and publishing, Vista Social stands out by combining content creation (with Canva), AI-powered captions, inbox management, task organization, and performance tracking , all in one platform. It saves time and gives me more control, without needing to jump between multiple tools.

Return on Investment
  • Ability to post on any social media platform with 1 click. It adjusts the layout for you, pictures, adding action buttons, etc.

  • The DM automation feature means we're not missing out on important messages when we're off the clock (after hours essentially), which is a huge advantage in hospitality where response time is everything.
  • In most cases, time is money, and being able to manage all our platforms from one place has cut down hours of switching between apps and tabs. That in itself has boosted our company's productivity and allowed the team to respond faster to guests and potential leads.
  • The real-time insights and mentions helps us tweak content and react to trends quicker, which has increased our visibility and bookings.
