Simplcity of sending and adjusting tone and hastags by platform. However I did notice a a 20% decrease when I start using the feature. I am unsure if it was my content of a bad week for social engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buffer manages your social media pipeline"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Buffer?

I love that I can customize the posts for each different platform I plan to post on. It really helps cater the message to the audience that uses different social media sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

Sometimes the interface can get a bit wonky in Chrome but as I have used it more, I have adapted to that. I think that ensuring the default view for the posting calendar is the same as it was when I last used the site (rather than reverting to month, week, or day) would be helpful.

"Buffer, a Social Media productivity changer."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Buffer?

I've been using Buffer for 5 years, and it has helped me the way I manage my main social media profiles. In particular, the platform's scheduling feature has simplified my life but also the simply way to repost published content. I'm able to get more done throughout the day since I can pre-schedule my social media updates in advance.

The way it manages the several images associated to the publication was what I have enjojed most since Buffer showed up in the market. Also the custom URL shortener which can connect with your analytics. Both features are also excellent.

Buffer is a great option for those who want to publish and re-publish quickly using the basic social media features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

As I said earlier, I have used Buffer for a long time with no main issues but the use of emojis was quite tedious for many years of using the tool. Recently Buffer has solved it by showing your most used emojis first to select instead of having to scroll down all the emojis if it happened you needed to select a country flag...one of the last emojis in the list, which was really annoying.

I have not liked that on the free plan Buffer has removed the posibility to have threaded tweets. This just got updated creating a kind of confussion since the "upgrade" message kept showing up when some weeks ago was added to the free plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buffer is a platform that help us to manage multi social accounts"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Buffer?

The best part of the software is that is quite fluent and easy to navigate and understand. Also, they have responsive customer support which gives a great user experience. Mostly I use this platform daily to manage all my social media accounts and also schedule multiple posts at different timings for better results. It is quite easy to integrate it with all other social media accounts of our organizations in seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

The software is a good-to-go software and quite easy to understand but initially while using and implementing all the tools and functions of the software. It confused our team regarding how to go further with the advanced scheduling and post-queuing but gradually we learned the process and worked on it flawlessly.
