Social Media Automation because as for everyone who uses Social Media for your Business or for your Clients, one drag is the Timezone difference.

What do you like best about Buffer?

Buffer is a software that will work very well for professionals in the field of digital media or others who need to communicate with various users at the internet level as the purpose of this tool is to program all their publications on social networks directly from this same platform and visualize them. Currently, Buffer allows you to connect or link to three profiles in its free or trial version and already for packages that allow you to link to more social networks you need a subscription plan that ranges from about $15 to about $100 a month Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

There's no tool feature I don't like, it's pretty easy to use and it comes with a completely free trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I schedule regular updates on my organization's LinkedIn account, as my working hours do not allow me to stay in touch with our employees and followers at nighttime, so I also schedule the publications for changes that I can not be related to and automatically the app shares the details that it leaves scheduled on the selected networks, which is essentially a great benefit when maintaining social network accounts because it decreases the time spent on them.

What do you like best about Buffer?

Buffer is very easy to use without lack of technical knowledge, being a flexible platform, for all the newly-acquainted users who reside in these facilities of social media management, highly intuitive, including that its prices are compartmentalized for everything, or better said for parts that are used as interactive analysis for community administration, that some company, proceed to create, without excluding that what I love the most about this software is its constant updating of functions, for modernization, in each of its relevant tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

One of the social networks with which this software works, to promote the different needs for which some user wants to use Buffer, we can mention that its tools on this platform are not fully available, since it presents considerable flaws, due to the fact that it does not share compatible links, like the rest of the servers, where an imminent number of different users are concentrated, which is a problem, since however, at this level, there are numerous future powerful clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buffer:

It is recommended for organizations that are known mostly for their work, established in commercial sales, through the web, Buffer offers a quite varied system, for their constant publications, since it acquires in its design a link with multiple social network applications, to significantly promote the online movement of all the products that it suggests in sales, including these economic operations, and in particular for users loyal to its platform and production, since most of its tools are totally powerful, for unique and successful work, at its finest, income containment.

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to a great extent in our company, for the efficient programming of social networks at work, since we are mainly dedicated to electronic commerce, this software promotes better marketing fluency, through these means, or web applications and mobile, so that multiple users who are not from our platform, can view each of the products that we have as we are dedicated, in order to acquire a greater flow in the operators that arrive at the organization's website, and obviously a considerable set of income generated, all due to this highly possibility and useful management system, for us as a company based on digital commerce.
