What do you like best about Buffer?

I was very excited when Buffer got an extension for Chrome. This made posting and blogging and re-sharing a breeze. Also, I was sure to download the mobile Buffer app for Android and to my surprise the app preformed beautifully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I did dislike how some days it felt like either the extension was not working well or I would have to sort of babysit the scheduled feed to make sure it posted. This was not often but sometimes this was an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buffer:

Always contact the support team! There should be a little 'chat bot' when you log in ready to get you speaking with a real human. I did love that they have real humans ready to communicate with you. They have very fast responses as well, seldom did I want more than one day for a response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was using the Buffer tool and Buffer Chrome extension to blog, re-blog, post and share content that either I myself created or our company was given or someone else's articles or blogs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Buffer?

I love how you can schedule, manage, edit and optimize content on so many different social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It's a very simple, clear and concise platform and I think it is the most visually appealing and useable out of the many different scheduling platforms. I like that you can really easily edit and alter the same post, even if it's going to different platforms. Fun and great to also calculate results and analytics, and see which posts performed better than others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I wish there were more features for engaging with your audience or auto replies. I also wish there was a tab for first comment, as many brands schedule first comment with preset hashtags and information for their followers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Buffer streamlines content, keeps consistency across platforms, and is a great way to keep track of content and your calendar to see when everything is scheduled. It's a super easy platform to use and has enough features that you're able to feel confident in your scheduling and what you're sharing with your audience. The analytics are also super useful!

What do you like best about Buffer?

The ability to schedule in multiple platforms. Adding content like links and photos are incredibly easy as well. Being able to schedule multiple posts over several social media sites is a godsend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I found that there were several times where my content wouldn’t post at all. I didn’t discover this unti I looked at the social page and noticed myself, or logged in to look at my queue. There should be more urgency to alert a client if there is an issue posting their content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Overall, it sure makes social media easy to deal with, and in a very economical, easy-to-understand way for the user. Many other tools are much more complex than they need to be. The benefits to anyone being able to login to buffer and instantly know how to operate the software is worth its weight in gold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
