Zoho is the best!

5.0 2 months ago New

Pros:

Having also used a competitor app, I have renewed belief in the ease of managing social media content for clients across multiple platforms. I especially love having the ability to create one post and then edit each channel individually for tagging, etc.

Cons:

I am not a fan of the cost of this app. Would still choose it though!

A Decent Option for the Beginning to Intermediate Business

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: It's a B- overall. It offers everything a beginning to intermediate user needs to handle the automation of social posts. There are extras and add-ins that make it more confusing than it needs to be.

Pros:

Zoho Social is a fairly straightforward program that allows for automated posting of your content for social channels. It's easy to understand and use.

Cons:

It is just fairly vanilla. The interface is simple, but not always informative in the way that you need. There are extras and add-ins that make it more confusing than it needs to be. Selections should be grayed out if they require additional credits. Additionally, why charge for AI Assist when it can be found for free in many other places? It makes it not worth using for the additional hassle.

One stop hub for social media management solutions

5.0 last month New

Pros:

I like that it is a reliable tool for business, especially from where I sit and use it on a daily basis, as it serves as an all-in-one social media management solution.

Cons:

In my initial engagement with the platform, its interface felt a bit clunky navigating between different accounts and features. Kindly provide training, even a virtual training, will aid with bridging the gap and answering some queries in this regard.

Zoho works for me

5.0 2 months ago New

Pros:

As a marketing executive, I love how Zoho Social provides detailed analytics that help me optimise our social media strategies with ease. The interface is intuitive, so I was able to get started quickly. I also appreciate the ability to schedule posts across multiple platforms, which has saved me a lot of time. Plus, it’s very affordable compared to other tools, making it a great value for what you get.

Cons:

One downside I’ve noticed is that some of the more advanced features are only available in the higher-priced plans. There’s also a slight learning curve when trying to unlock all of the tool’s capabilities.

Best Social Media Autoation App

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: My overa ll experience is best as comparing to sitting doing manually and in times we can't do, we can automate, this is best experience.

Pros:

All the pros are good, but should be improved a lot comparing the new apps those coming now with AI and stories

Cons:

We can't post or automate Instagram stories which is a big draw back. And facebook groups always keep disconnecting every minute.

We Love Zoho Social

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Zoho Social is a fantastic tool for managing social media accounts. Its intuitive interface, robust analytics, and seamless scheduling features make it easy to track engagement and grow your online presence. Highly recommend it for businesses of all sizes!

Pros:

What I liked most about Zoho Social is its comprehensive analytics and easy-to-use scheduling tools. The ability to monitor multiple platforms from one dashboard and schedule posts in advance saves time and streamlines social media management. It's a powerful all-in-one solution!

Cons:

The only downside I found with Zoho Social is that the mobile app could be more intuitive and feature-rich. However, the desktop version is excellent, and the minor mobile app limitations don’t significantly impact overall functionality.

Zoho Social Review

5.0 8 months ago

Comments: Best social posting app I have used so far.

Pros:

Very easy to get started and use. Links up to all the social platforms I use. AI copy prompt.

Cons:

limitations uploading certain resolutions to platforms. For example, I can upload a 1920x1080 video directly to X(twitter), but the zoho app needs the video to be a smaller resolution to upload to X. So I don't bother uploading the video to that platform. Too much of a hassle rendering out multiple resolutions.

Global and Functional Social Tool

4.0 5 months ago

Pros:

It has a lot of capability and functionalities upon initial setup. It is easy to separate brands, and manage lead capture for each salesperson. All integrations into existing social medias are in Zoho Social at a glance, features are on the same level as of other social tool providers. Interface and workflow management are a piece of cake. Easy to navigate through many layers of data and communication points.

Cons:

It is similar to Zoho tools in existing integrations and usual necessity to tweak things internally and upkeep the system. Due to our internal customization of CRM, it was harder to integrate Zoho Social seamlessly. It is hard to manage several languages under one roof, only limited amount of brands can be created. Automation and default pages are barely customizable.

My experience with Zoho Social

4.0 9 months ago

Comments: Overall, Zoho has provided me an affordable option that makes social media management easy for me and my colleagues.

Pros:

Content Management, Scheduling, Reports and analytics are major components needed for my work and Zoho delivers these.

Cons:

The fact that Twitter(X) paid features are not available on the platform, for example, text limit. Also, I don't know how much of a fault this is to Zoho, but the level of engagement on posts published via Zoho is low compared to that from the native platforms.
