Great experience overall. Whenever I've had issues, customer service has always been kind and helpful.

Pluspunten

It covers all our bases and allows me to post for all 6 of our dealerships, cross post across platforms, and bulk prep posts. This allows you to plan out your content and share it to Facebook & Instagram and anywhere else at once if you choose. Has lots of cool features and is always having some new updates and integrations.

Minpunten

Sometimes there are posting issues. Sometimes when you try to post a link with your content it tries to change it into an odd Buffer link. This makes the link look like spam

Been using it for years and never looked around for alternatives. I think this sums up my experience pretty well, although my needs are pretty basic

Pluspunten

Buffer has been easy to set up and to learn to operate, it covered all my basic needs for years and never had me looking around for alternatives. It’s always been reliable (which is the most important thing in my opinion) and never felt overwhelming or confusing despite having a real lot of capabilities

Minpunten

The web interface could be perfectioned a bit maybe, but it’s just a minor complaint. The mobile app is very good though!

Overall, buffer is a good option for scheduling social media posts to various accounts. I would use again after they make some improvements.

Pluspunten

Buffer was a good option for scheduling social media posts and send out them automatically using the scheduler. Like that you could send to various social media accounts all at once.

Minpunten

Sometime the scheduler would get out of sync and post did not go out when they should. There was no alert capability letting you know about failed posts.

Very good experience in overall, and amazing list of options available already with a free, or lowest plan account.

Pluspunten

I am really amazed about the amount of feature that are already enable in the lowest plan that Buffer is offering. It is probably the best option for someone who want to start to work with such features, with a low budget

Minpunten

I rarely had cases were a post was not posting automatically as it was planned. But the only couple of times that this happened in about 2 years, I had a message immediately to inform me about it, and I could post it manually in no time...

I moved from a different platform that limited how many pending posts you could have. This has been a great move and I'm happy that I did it.

Pluspunten

Buffer allows me to quickly and easily create and schedule posts for LinkedIn. It even has a handy place to store ideas to post later. I'm on the free version and can set up a large number of posts in advance. While I believe there's a limit, I haven't hit it. I usually have 5 or 6 pre-planned at any time.

It's easy to post, find the day on the calendar you wish to post and begin typing. You can narrow down the time to the exact minute you want to post. That's a very handy feature!

Minpunten

There are other features that would be helpful but you can only use them if you're on the paid plan. The system will ask if you want to do xyz then when you click yes you find out you have to pay for that feature. It would be nice if they would say up front, do you want to try xyz feature on the paid plan or something like that.

Great. It has become my go-to for startup projects or freelance projects.

Great. It has become my go-to for startup projects or freelance projects.

Pluspunten

It has a free plan that allows you to post to three different channels. This is great when you are working with a reduced budget, but you still need to save time from posting across channels.

Minpunten

While the free version is very helpful, it doesn't allow for any type of monitoring or conversations with users. So it's very one direction.

I enjoy Buffer's simplicity and user friendly website and app. It makes schedule ahead a breeze and the amount of times I can schedule a post is great for the free version.

Pluspunten

I enjoy that Buffer's interface is simple and user friendly. I didn't need a guide to go through setting up and scheduling my social media. The app works really great as well and is required if you want to post your Instagram posts because it doesn't do it automatically for you. The app will remind you it's time to post for Instagram and have the post ready for you, you just have to submit.

Minpunten

I'd prefer to not have to manually submit my Instagram posts, but not sure if that's only a feature required for the free plan. Never the less it's not the biggest con for me, just minor inconvenience if I'm busy living life.

Overall is good. I use it every week and not so much. but it saves me the hassle of having to write and edit content directly on the social media channel.

Pluspunten

I could easily connect the channels I use for the brand. I like it supports Twitter threads and also lets me tag other companies in Linkedin post

Minpunten

I can't tag friends or contacts from LinkedIn. Only companies. I don't like the scroll down of time selecting when scheduling

Great Product in a Crowded Market

Pluspunten

The price and different tiers allow you to pay a lower cost if you are looking for more basic needs. If you only manage a few accounts, this can be a great low-cost solution.

Minpunten

The amount of accounts you can have on low cost options is not many, and I wish it had integration with Google Business.

We used Buffer before Meta Business Suite came along. We elected to stop using Buffer to schedule and publish content because MBS is way more reliable. We continued to use Buffer for analytics because our clients had grown attached to the elevated analytics. We stopped using it when we found cloud campaign.

Pluspunten

The best part about buffer is the analytics reporting feature that is offered. We used this feature every month on multiple occasions and built our client reports around it.

Minpunten

The worst part about buffer was the constant pricing changes and lack of support.

Pluspunten

I love buffer! It's really easy to use and connect with your different social media platforms to manage and schedule. I love that you can connect LinkedIn to make it easy. We use it regularly because it's awesome

Minpunten

The only cons are mainly just budget pieces. We can't afford to pay for it, so we can only connect a few platforms instead of all of them. We can only schedule so many as well. But that's lacking of budget really.

My overall Buffer experience has been extremely positive and rewarding. Buffer has proven to be an invaluable tool in the daily tasks of our team, and it has been critical in maintaining a consistent brand image across our various social media platforms.

Pluspunten

As a digital marketer, I've explored various social media tools, and Buffer stands out as a top choice for several reasons. What I liked best about Buffer was its comprehensive suite of features designed for effective social media management. It has become an essential component of my digital marketing toolkit, assisting me and my team in streamlining processes and implementing effective social media strategies for our B2C company.

Minpunten

My experience with Buffer has been extremely positive, but there is one area where I felt it could be improved. While Buffer's analytics provide valuable insights into post performance, the platform's analytics may lack some of the more advanced or in-depth features found in specialized analytics tools. Buffer's analytics may feel limited to marketers looking for highly detailed or granular data, such as myself.

You will also need to monitor your scheduled posts to ensure that they actually post because every few months, social media accounts will disconnect from your Buffer account and require you to sign in again before scheduling any more posts.

Pluspunten

Buffer allows you to schedule posts to multiple social media accounts in advance. This is critical for anyone to save time while planning content. The app was self explanatory and easy to use.

Minpunten

Depending on how many social media accounts you’d like to connect to Buffer, you may be able to find a better deal somewhere else. There are different tiers of paid plans that allow you to connect more social media accounts for more money. Depending on how many social media accounts you plan to connect, Buffer or Hootsuite May offer you a better deal.
