"Scheduling Calendar and Approvals Make Managing Campaign Posts Effortless"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sprout Social?

I love the scheduling calendar and the approval process, and how they make it easy to manage and edit my direct report’s initial posts. I also really like the campaign and tagging functionality, along with the ability to collect external approvals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sprout Social?

I find it difficult to use the tool to ideate or draft content when a campaign is still in its early stages. For that part of our workflow, we still rely on a Google Calendar format. Even though the calendar in Sprout is where we keep our actual posts once they’re drafted and approved, it’s not as easy to use for early-stage planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Max Pete of Sprout Social

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with the scheduling calendar and approval process. We understand the importance of early-stage planning and drafting content, and we'll work on enhancing that aspect to better meet your needs.

"Streamlined Social Media Management with Sprout Social"
5/5
What do you like best about Sprout Social?

I like that the dashboard is so user-friendly. I'm able to get to whatever I need pretty quick and all of the interfaces are easy to use. I especially like the smart inbox that brings in all of our responses from all over our social media channels. We're able to really understand what the sentiment is like, which is very important to our senior leadership as they are risk averse. The smart inbox feature makes Sprout Social valuable to me because I am able to understand the pulse of our digital home online. And I'm able to keep my senior leaders up to date on what people are saying. We're also able to inform our content based off of the chatter that we hear all over the Internet, which is allowing us to have better customer service and also answer questions more efficiently. I love everything from the customer service to the dashboard to the insights that we receive. We connect our Sprout Social to Canva, and that has really helped us streamline our approach to content because we're able to create in Canva and move it right into Sprout Social. I would rate the ease of setting up Sprout Social a nine out of 10. I think it was very intuitive and helpful in addition to the tutorials that they have online, and I really love our advocate Jamie Sima. She's very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Scheduling for Seamless Social Media Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Sprout Social?

I really appreciate how intuitive Sprout Social is, especially the calendaring feature. Seeing the posts I have drafted for a particular day and having an entire month's worth of content prepared and ready ahead of time is really helpful. It's great not having to plan uploads day by day. The platform allows scheduling posts based on the timestamp we've provided, which saves time. It's valuable because it allows multiple people to have input on what should go up for the month, and everything is laid out in one place. Setting it up was pretty intuitive too, with a very short on-ramp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sprout Social?

I really have enjoyed my time with Sprout Social, but I don't know that I can post stories using it. I know I can do posts, so if there was a way to do stories, I think that would also be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Max Pete of Sprout Social

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear that Sprout Social has made scheduling posts and coordinating with your team easier. We appreciate your suggestion about embedding links and tagging stakeholders, and we'll definitely take that into consideration for future improvements.

"Easy to Navigate, Powerful Tagging & Sprout Queue is a Time-Saver"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sprout Social?

It's really easy to navigate, just clicking through you're able to understand where to find things.

I've come to love the tagging feature as well. Simple to add multiple to each post if needed, and removing doesn't affect the rest of the tagged posts.

Sprout Queue saves so much time & so many clicks when scheduling 10+ posts each day too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sprout Social?

I wish social listening was included with the enterprise account. They let you temporarily make a query but it would be very nice to be able to measure mentions of our accounts and overall brand sentiment.

It would also be nice to publish to multiple X accounts in one go, rather than having to "duplicate" the post in a second go-round. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mira Sekhon of Sprout Social

We're happy to hear that Sprout Social has been helpful for your social media scheduling and community management. We appreciate your feedback about Social Listening and Publishing to multiple accounts, and we'll take that into account as we work on enhancing our platform.

3/5
What do you like best about Sprout Social?

Sprout Social provides a single platform to monitor and manage customer interactions across multiple social media channels. At Georgia Power, It enables real-time engagement, helps track customer sentiment and emerging issues, supports team collaboration, and offers valuable insights into customer trends.

What do you dislike about Sprout Social?

Sprout Social's reporting and forecasting capabilities can be limiting at times for Georgia Power, particularly when trying to predict workload trends and resource needs. Social media volume is often unpredictable, and additional analysis outside the platform may be needed to gain deeper operational insights. Despite these limitations, it remains an effective tool for managing customer engagement across multiple channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionized Our Social Media Management"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sprout Social?

I love the AI integrations of best time to post and alt text in Sprout Social; they are awesome. I also love the reporting functions that allow me to pull quick data across post, campaign, or profile performance. These features let me quickly schedule my posts for the best reach possible, which is important to me as a one-person social media team. Additionally, I found the initial setup very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sprout Social?

The tagging functionality isn't always great or easy to use. I wish this was easier/better for LinkedIn and Facebook. It would be great to be able to click the name once it's in the post copy being scheduled, just so I can make sure I got the correct profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
