What do you like best about Buffer?

Buffer is one of the services that are most updated and at the forefront of technology that is up to the task to be able to manage our social networks without any problem, also, we can coordinate and organize the publications in terms of time, be it hours, days, weeks. or months, which makes our work easier to carry and carry out, for example, we no longer have to wait for an exact moment to publish or something like that. We leave everything automatic and we would only have to make sure that everything is known that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

What I don't like about the service is that sometimes another publication is published that is not the one I wanted to do... It's as if others were ahead and others were late, it's something that I would like them to accommodate because this is a bit annoying error and makes me look bad with the pages. I still think this is something temporary, but you could improve it or give us the solution through support. This would be great if they correct it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buffer:

In case you need to automate publications for our social networks, it is essential to take into account Buffer since it is one of the main ones in its field, and has a track record that supports each case, it is also understandable that we are a little distrustful of its services for different reasons. , but we should give him an opportunity to use his services since they have never been bad for me and they are fair enough with prices, that's why I recommend him. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This Buffer service has facilitated the way in which I can work, it is easy to manage ourselves, and to organize myself, with this I have been able to obtain more free time to dedicate myself to other important things in my work and personal life.

What do you like best about Buffer?

Buffer is a fantastic social media scheduling tool that can distribute posts across every social media accounts simultaneously. It also facilitates the sharing of several media formats. Custom URLs may be used to track all of the data transmitted via buffer. Buffer also offers actionable reports to help you enhance your social media operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

Manual submission, but we found a work-around for WordPress; there's a plugin called WP to Buffer Pro, utilized to schedule to all social media sites straight from WordPress, extremely easy. Aside from that, if you don't have a premium membership, the maximum number of planned tasks is limited to 10, requiring you to schedule often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buffer:

Buffer has become an integral ingredient of my social media approach. It might be advantageous if you want to maximize your marketing efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps us save hours by devoting only half an hour in a month's worth of postings! It's rather large so that you may put that time to better use. In addition to the WordPress plugin, we use the Buffer API to schedule programmatically. That's also handy if you're a developer; you might want to check into it more.
