Buffer is a social media management platform for small to midsize businesses that helps users publish content, engage clients and analyze their social media performance. Buffer integrates with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and Pinterest.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I can post substance across other web-based media stages like Facebook and Instagram, and Twitter all simultaneously. It's not difficult to utilize, planning additionally exceptionally straightforward; I'm certain new clients won't see it trying to utilize. I likewise like that I don't get endorsed out when my PC rests or my web winds down.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It lacks some conveinent features that the competitors offer. I'm talking about features like integrated tagging for Twitter and LinkedIn. Last time I used this software it still lacked the proper tagging features which requires you to make an extra step to open a separate tab to check whether you got the username right or wrong.

What differentiates Buffer from other similar products?
This company, as it is in charge of being able to handle the publications of social networks, has a lot of competition which means that it always has to update its way of working and the way in which the technology is implemented will always be among the first best so I fully trust in your capabilities to keep the platform up-to-date and up-to-date for much longer
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Buffer has one of the best platforms that I used to publish with social media programming, which makes it very effective to organize the way I work with respect to the publications, it makes my life easier because I can control almost any publication with a long time in advance and How should a social network with an extremely demanding public be managed
What do you dislike most about this product?
The way buffer works is very good but sometimes it has platform errors and also at the time of publishing at the time it is scheduled, sometimes it is published twice and this is somewhat annoying in that case you have to go and delete publication of both that they were published, this creates a bit of anxiety because I have to constantly check to see that everything is going well, even setting all the publications well in advance, also that sometimes the page is a little slow and is ticked but it is solved by refreshing the page
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Currently I highly recommend this company that offers the programming service for our social networks because we can do this with a long time in advance and apart from being able to make the publications with much higher quality because we have much more time to do them, I highly recommend using this type of platform that it offers buffer because apart from it it has many tutorials on the internet apart from its platform is very intuitive and we can learn to use it easily that is why I do not recommend to my acquaintances and co-workers

What differentiates Buffer from other similar products?
Buffer is a really intuitive platform. It's super easy to learn the basics, the UI is beautiful, and the free Chrome extension is really useful for scheduling posts from the content pages themselves.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The user interface
What do you dislike most about this product?
I don't recall any dislikes
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This is great for new marketers to pick up, and the free version is great for side-businesses/hobbies. It's probably not the best tool for someone managing multiple brands/accounts, or enterprise level SMM.
Pros
- Enables Productivity
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Unique Features
