Awesome
After trying a few tools, finally bought SB and upgraded to pro25. I have been playing around with SocialBee for the last three days.
Pros:
1) Feature-rich. It has nearly everything that is required for a successful social media scheduling tool. Trying Jack of all rarely works. It does one thing and does it well.
2) The category, bulk media import, Post Variations, and Pocket Integration are fabulous.
3) It saves lots of time. I don't spend enough time and usually, forget to post on various SMs. This tool helps you to schedule post across SM for as long as you can.
4) Customer service is prompt, and the team is active to enhance the features and resolve any existing bug.
5) Affordable, easy set-up, and very useful.
Cons:
1) No native IG and Pinterest integration. Since Hootsuite IG business profile does not work, and Buffer does not offer free Pinterest integration. Thus, you need both Buffer and Hootsuite to integrate IG and Pinterest. I know it is not in their hand. So, I hope it will be implemented in the future.
2) There is no option to choose Pinterest board sections. If you've lots of sub-boards/sections, it is not possible to pick.
3) The images crop on GBM. There is an option to resize the image on native GMB, but the same is not available here. So, chances are nearly all photos will be cropped. So I guess you have to upload a different size solely for GBM.
4) The bulk editor does not allow to edit all text, hashtag, link or anything at once, and save. One has to do manually.
5) The UI is a little confusing and not aesthetically pleasing, but not a big deal once you spend a few days.
Overall, I would say four tacos. But I will give five tacos because it does tick all the right boxes that are prerequisite. In a few words — Awesome and BUY now. You won't regret it!
