What do you like best about CoSchedule Marketing?

Nothing really. We were excited about the calendar functionality but that didn't end up being enough to get my team on board with adopting it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoSchedule Marketing?

Outdated UX, no real support for onboarding, nickels-and-dimes you for advanced features, weak integrations. After attempting to use it, I can't figure out why anyone would choose this over Asana, Monday, or ClickUp.

When I asked them to meet me in the middle on our billing since we never got value out of the service, they were unwilling to budge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoSchedule Marketing solving and how is that benefiting you?

None really. We never adopted it because it was too clunky and didn't fit in the flow of our work. We switched to Asana and love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

I love that it shows different types of scheduled Marketing projects such as Email, Push Notifications, in App, and Carousel projects. I find it very helpful that it is color-coordinated and can be updated with times, in-progress, completed, submitted projects, etc. and there is a small description available to show key audience. It is used by multi-departments to view upcoming marketing projects. It helps other departments see projections on projects and more transparency within the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

I would love to see multi-date projects or marketing campaigns to be more visible for the date range. It is usually easier to see the time-lapse of the project by clicking it. It would be much easier if I didn't have to click the project campaign for the date range. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoSchedule Social Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides transparency between cross-department projects and upcoming marketing campaigns. The entire company can already see projections without needing to reach out or create a meeting to verify the information because it is present on the calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

The CoSchedule Marketing Calendar has a clean interface with the ability to integrate other third parties tools such as Trello, Excel, and the like. The product is from CoSchedule, a company with a reputation for developing marketing software for businesses focused on content marketing. The calendar is absolutely free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

The CoSchedule products are a bit expensive and this is especially challenging of the rising rate of exchange (ROE) - US Dollar to South African Rand. Unless your business makes millions on an annual basis, the product is not affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoSchedule Social Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

For planning out the content to produce on a regular basis based on a calendar format with features for content management and distribution. It is packed with features such as tasks, roles, and assignment, a calendar module even more automation tools from the premium plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

Coschedule Marketing Calendar's interface is userfriendly and looks really intriguing to me, probably the best interface among the tools I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

The pricing probably. The free version allows me to connect 2 social media accounts only so it's a bit limiting while the social calendar version is too much for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoSchedule Social Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Uploading social media content cross platform in one click. It's also easy for me to see which day/content is missing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

I love integrating with other software, such as Asana, where the entire team may collaborate. I can connect projects from other software to CoSchedule and stay on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

I am relatively new to CoSchedule. The free plan is excellent but limiting and similar to other platforms, such as Asana. It would be nice to offer a simple social media scheduling feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoSchedule Social Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

It keeps me on track. I can ensure that I do not miss a deadline or task. The ability to integrate projects from other software saves time. I am more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

The calendar dashboard makes it easy to see visually where your social posts are and how full your days are. This platform is good if you don't have a lot of social channels to monitor or send out a lot of posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

I found it difficult to keep track of what platforms had posts scheduled on a specific date when there are a lot of posts scheduled. We colour-coded our posts for each platform but I wish there was an easy way to filter them. Also colour coding by platform meant we couldn't colour code by campaign. It just wasn't easy to keep track of what has happening when. They also removed their analytics feature which added another strike against them for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoSchedule Social Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us, CoSchedule was a step up from Hootsuite, which just felt like a mess when we left it. CoSchedule's calendar dashboard is a great way to visualize how busy your social calendar is, and if you're overloading one day/time with more posts than in needs.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

Once we fine-tuned our usage to a specific aspect of marketing communications -- in our case for outbound email marketing -- this tool proved to be very useful and provided some built-in integrations with our email platform that helps save time for the marketing team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoSchedule Social Calendar?

It doesn't really have that "full" capability for managing all calendar aspects for a marketing team. Or at least not the way that we tried using it initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoSchedule Social Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scheduling the myriad of all outbound marketing emails and their variations across multiple in-house marketing teams. Also provides ways to review content before it is automatically transitioned to our email platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
