What do you like best about Buffer?

The timeline for posting is very clean and easy to use. The content stream from different topics has saved a huge amount of time searching for articles to post. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

It is more expensive than the program that we were using before. It is extremely affordable if there is only one person using, but the business account gets more pricey. The Instagram posting has gotten better in the past year, but still is a little hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buffer:

What do you like best about Buffer?

This is an incredible and easy to use social media scheduling software with a brilliant 50% discount for nonprofits. I find onboarding staff onto new software difficult. However, this was not the case with buffer. Buffer has great user experience and I wouldn't change Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

Buffer is constantly making updates and any sight complaints I have had have been fixed. However, pricing above the first plan gets very expensive. This is not something we would need to upgrade on but for other users needing more it would get very expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scheduling content for various platforms all in one place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would guess that it's a Instagram issue, but it's really stupid to manually submit the Instagram posts on the phone. I'd love if Buffer find a way around this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
