Zach P., Marketing Coordinator (Education Management)

Sprout Social has made it incredibly easy to manage all of our social handles, with excellent reporting tools for paid campaigns and an intuitive interface. It can become expensive with multiple user licenses and many social accounts.

B

Bill M., CEO (2-10 employees)

It's very expensive, has poor usability, hides advertised features behind paywalls.

R

Richard W., Senior Digital Marketing Manager (Information Technology)

via Capterra

Reporting felt quite limited, customer success managers and account management was not great.
