Social media managers must create visuals. Hootsuite doesn`t offer them such option, and sometimes it could be a crucial point.

If we are talking about any of the tools from our list, we can`t forget to mention their advantages. For Hootsuite, it`s:
- Perfect customer support
- Their own chat and the associated community

With the UTM analytics option, Hootsuite synchronizes with Google Analytics.
Another cool feature in this social media organizer is the bulk publisher tab. It gives you a calendar view of scheduled updates.

- WordPress
- Mixi (Japanese social networking service)

Post Planner
If you know something about social media posting, you nay hear about Post Planner.
Originally, it was an extra application optimized only for Facebook.it helped brands deliver the most relevant content to their communities.
Today, Post Planner is a tool that could find, plan and perform posting your content to Facebook and Twitter. There`s also a light Instagram and Pinterest integration.
The Canva integration within Post Planner makes the entire process seamless and efficient. With it, Post Planner becomes a completed social media posting tool for most developers. You still don`t believe us? Here`s a list of core elements that you could perform with the Post Planner:
- You can identify trending content for sharing
- You can recycle content for optimal sharing
- You can perform a competitive analysis by searching audience-tested content from other Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
- You can find suggested status update ideas (more then 15 000 in total).
Where are the weaker places of Post Planner?
This tool doesn`t allow for engaging with users or being able to follow a stream from within the platform. However, we don`t think that this is a huge minus for such tool.
-
Buffer
Buffer is a tool with simple design and ability to make scheduling, posting and collaborating process. The key word for the right description of this program is simplicity.
With Buffer, you are able to connect these social media:
- Google +
We see that like Post Planner, Buffer can`t give us an ability to connect with Instagram, and it`s the advantage of Hootsuite in front of them.
However, Buffer offers a branded visual solution with Pablo. But it`s not nearly as robust as the Canva integration within Post Planner.
To work well with Pablo, the social media manager needs to know what size images work best for each platform.
Buffer`s interface is clean, simple and understand at a glance. Again, we can see the thing – simplicity is a very strong point.
-

If you are interested in managing Pinterest – Tailwind is the perfect tool for social media managers. Like Post Planner, Tailwind gives you an ability to “spy” on your competition and see trending content. With Tailwind, you can also identify influencers. You can use that data to target your content.
