The most helpful thing about Buffer is that it allows you to work from everywhere in the world. You can plan, schedule and prepare your posts wherever an internet connection is available, which makes it a very useful tool especially for entrepreneurs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The least helpful thing is that you can't post directly from Buffer, so you need to plan and prepare your posts first, and then to move to the social media apps to actually publish them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buffer is extremely easy to use, it allows me to connect an RSS feed from my website so I can get links and photos for Twitter and Facebook posts. Thanks to this, I can never forget to publish a story and I don't have to spend much time to execute a social media strategy. It is also an app in the cloud and online with which I can work from any device and anywhere without needing to be transporting or saving changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One feature I don't like is that the free version is very limited. It only allows 10 publications, it does not allow to export statistics and it does not allow to modify the schedule. I also think that they should make an improvement in the Web version, since from the mobile it is not optimized and does not look complete, so some options cannot be accessed.

With my Buffer account, i'm able to schedule dozens and dozens of posts for clients, making me able to do most of my job in just 1 or 2 days of the week. Buffer is also relatively inexpensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When scheduling posts, there is occasionally a problem with hashtags showing up and working correctly. Some people say you need to do them manually for them to really work; however, that isn't proven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a user-friendly and extremely simple software for social media. Beginners or anyone can use this without any hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The updated layout of Buffer has caused me some inconvenience. Earlier there was an option to select the calendar which only shows posts that are scheduled, it was very easy to spot if I had missed anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buffer helps me manage all my company's social media handles from a place. I connected my Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook pages so whenever I have an information to pass, I just lo-gin to my buffer dashboard.
I also schedule posts and good a thing, the free plan allows up to 10 scheduled posts per day which is pretty good for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In scheduling posts, if they can change the time to West African time it'll be great.
Also, I always have to reauthorize my Twitter account which is not so annoying, I which thy can do something about that too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. I appreciate that I can add photos or change the link photo as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can’t tag other businesses in Facebook or LinkedIn for example when I’m cross promoting events. Unless I haven’t realized how, I wish I could set different time zones up for each page I’m posting to since we have clients in various states that we create content for.

Managing social network accounts efficiently is one of the main objectives of my trade, it is currently very demanded by organizations or companies to have a community manager, and I particularly think that having a correct software portfolio makes the difference, is why buffer is part of this portfolio, the ease of publishing content on multiple platforms effectively and integration as a complement to Chrome makes it worthy to be my favorite ally.

They must improve two aspects and is in favor of this platform is perfect, the first is the flaws that are commonly presented with istagram and the second and last in my case is to improve the functionality of labeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most remarkable feature I love about buffer is its organized layout that makes it relatively easy to keep social media accounts updated. It has an automated feature for timing social media posts. Its user interface has a sophisticated appearance with options available for adding social media networks such as,Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only lapse that I have seen in this software is the lack of integration of Instagram in it. Instagram being a big platform needs to be integrated with this software too. Moreover, there are no tools to monitor integral social media things such as hashtags, and number of searches per day or per week etc. There should be an addition of these monitoring tools so that we might be able to have a check and balance upon the social media marketing strategies and social campaigns that we run across Twitter to enhance out marketing. The incorporation of these tools might play a key role in making us eligible to evaluate the lapses that remained in our campaigns and strategies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to use and with a very intuitive interface. It also has a dedicated app for Android and iOS systems, allowing you to use it from anywhere. With the function of scheduling your posts, you will save a lot of time and increase your popularity.
It has an indefinite free plan, ideal for starting to use this tool, and once you are familiar, you can switch to a paid plan with many more features and utilities.
Buffer supports all the popular networks that exist today, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Google+.
Buffer has great technical support as they respond to any question you have in any language.
Finally, with the team management feature, it allows multiple people to post, ideal for large marketing teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very affordable prices except for the Small Business which is too expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
