Buffer is the perfect automation

What differentiates Buffer from other similar products?
Many other similar sites tend to show deceptive offers something that Buffer does not do, because an offer that makes an offer that is real, I also realized that when automating it complies with publishing at the exact time indicated, while there are others that give error and one ends up losing the publication scheduled at the time
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I love about Buffer is that I can trust my social networks with my eyes closed, especially for safety and for the good work it offers, the platform is very fast, stable and the design quite beautiful, also the support responds quickly and excellent quality. It is also one of the most used services among the competition that is dedicated to the same as Buffer
What do you dislike most about this product?
I don't like it is the cost to access certain features, I find it a bit expensive. But it still does not mean that it is not a good service, that it can really cost a little more. Sometimes the website tends to hang but refreshing the tab solves it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you need to organize a social network efficiently, fairly and with enough professionalism you must use Buffer, learning to use this platform is quite interesting and very practical, in these times that everything is online, using this platform is almost mandatory to undertake some business or something similar.
