Buffer Reviews & Product Details - Page 46

Buffer is easy to use, and best of all they provide killer content on their blog offering everything you need to totally crush your social media and content marketing. The free version isn't anything fancy, but it's easy to use and covers what you need. Additional plans aren't super expensive, but they also aren't as comprehensive as other tools.

Analytics for paid plans show best and worst performing posts based on engagement (for retweets, favorites, replies, likes, comments, clicks, reach, and post type).You can also export for easier analysis, for reporting, for additional review, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buffer is extremely straightforward, but provides less bang for your buck compared to bigger tools like Hootsuite.

It also contains an automatic link shortener which "Buffer-brands" all your links, which is a bit annoying.

Analytics on the free version are limited and the lack of monitoring tools likely means you'll need to add a second tool to your repertoire. The free version also makes it difficult to recycle posts, which can be frustrating.

Really the bottom line is that Buffer — even a paid version — isn't comprehensive enough for a super serious marketer or large team. It would likely need to be combined with other tools, which can be cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how quick and easy it is to post to your social media accounts (except Instagram) according to a pred-defined schedule. Buffer was one of the first to do this, but I imagine it's table stakes now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that the Instagram integration doesn't work even though it's being advertised. When I reach out to customer success, they send a long list of complicated instructions to fix it. I went through them, which fixed it before a day, and then the integration broke again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the convenience of scheduling out posts ahead of time and how you can schedule the exact time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hate that you can't attach GIFs to your Buffer posts. I also don't like that Buffer will sometimes disconnect and you won't receive a notification that this happened until it's too late. When my colleague reached out to Buffer to complain about this, they simply said that it's a bug that they're working on fixing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buffer is an awesome way to create, track, organize, and schedule posts to multiple social media platforms all at the same time. Despite the streamlined process, you can still customize a post to each platform in order to add hashtags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not like that I can not see any interactions we have from viewers or comments from people like we could in the previous software we used for social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very user friendly and it’s easy to change between social media platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a limit on how many posts you can have on Buffer, and you have to pay a premium for that. Also, Buffer does not produce picture web links on Twitter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that it is easy and simple to use. I haven't had much problem loading documents that differ in size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the amount and reasons that I use it, I haven't found too much to dislike. If I had to choose, maybe that it doesn't cater to all social platforms and also don't have more options that are particular with Buffer but hey it's free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite feature of Buffer is their buffer links which make articles shorter, while still including the featured image for the article. It is also a nice way to post all of your social media posts in one platform. I also love the calendar feature which allows me to easily see when my social media posts are scheduled. Buffer makes my life a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of my biggest gripes about Buffer is the limitations in the free tier. With some comparable platforms, you can connect them to a reader/RSS to funnel articles into your social media platforms, but it is a paid feature with Buffer, which I find annoying. There are some workarounds, such as using Zapier with a reader such as Inoreader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Buffer, I can manage my Facebook business page, my Twitter and schedule my Instagram. I use the social medias to improve and boost my business. I like the fact that I can schedule posts and understand what is the best time to post for my audience (thanks to the Buffer analisys of the active audience). I also love the insights offered by Buffer about the performances of the posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The iPhone app it's a little bit confusing. I prefer to use the browser version of Buffer. You can easily set up posts and manage your profiles. It can be difficult from the app.

Also would be great if there were the opportunity to comment and reply to comments directly from Buffer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simple layout. Buffer is one tool that packs so much functionality with a clean layout. It also offers a mobile app which makes it very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free plan has a limit of just 3 accounts now and the pricing is also a bit on the expensive side Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its simple to use, and offers great value. They also have a great company culture and are very transparent about their pay, diversity, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Now that they are compatible with Instagram I don't dislike anything about it at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
