Buffer – Simple, Effective... But Lacks Some Muscle I’ve been using Buffer for a while, and honestly... it’s great if you just want something that’s straightforward and gets the job done. It’s got this super clean interface that makes scheduling and posting across multiple platforms a breeze. Perfect for when you just need to get content out without any hassle. What Works: 1) Scheduling Made Easy: Buffer’s scheduling is as simple as it gets. Just queue up your posts, and you’re set. If you’re a solo user or a small business, this tool is basically plug-and-play. 2) Decent Analytics: The analytics cover the basics, like engagement and reach, which is enough if you’re not diving deep. You get a quick look at what’s working, but that’s about it. 3) Affordable: Compared to other tools... Buffer’s pricing feels fair. It’s friendly on the budget, especially if you’re not looking for all the bells and whistles. Could Be Better: 1) Limited Insights: Here’s the catch... the analytics feel pretty basic. No deep dives or audience insights, so if you want more detailed data, you might feel a bit limited. 2) Collaboration: It’s there, but it’s nothing fancy. If you’re managing a big team, you’ll probably want something with more advanced collaboration tools. Buffer vs. Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Later Hootsuite: Hootsuite is like Buffer’s older sibling... more powerful, but a bit overkill if you just need something simple. It’s got richer analytics and way more features, but it’s pricey and a bit clunky if you’re looking for a clean setup. Sprout Social: This one’s for bigger teams. It’s loaded with collaboration and listening features, which is awesome for large brands, but definitely on the pricier side. Probably too much if you’re just a small team or solo. Later: If Instagram is your main game, Later’s got you. It’s super visual, with a drag-and-drop calendar that’s perfect for IG. But... it’s limited if you need an all-rounder for multiple platforms. Final Take Buffer’s a win if you want simplicity, affordability, and you don’t need super-deep insights. For anything bigger or more complex, Hootsuite or Sprout Social might be a better fit... and for IG, Later has that visual planning edge.

Currently using Productboard, and it’s awesome for keeping our roadmap focused on what matters. This tool just makes prioritizing features so much easier. Love how customer-focused it is.

We use it at our company. It works fine, but it's too expensive for what it is. If I had a choice, I'd use a cheaper platform.

I'm also a big fan of the video features. Being able to quickly record and share personalized video messages adds such a nice personal touch to our customer interactions. It's way more engaging than just text.

Have been using Crisp for years now since Intercom went full “big tech” and priced out half of their users. Really admire what these guys have done, and what they’re doing. The pricing makes complete sense and the product is excellent.

Have been using Zipy for a few months now. Never in my decade long career of software development, have I felt so confident in tracking and fixing the bug, as I am feeling now! I remember spending days and nights reproducing bugs. I remember setting up war rooms to reproduce and debug issues. Zipy has saved our devs from burning midnight oil. Now we can easily reproduce and fix our bugs. It is one of the most important dev tools I have ever come across! And when you add the amazing support team to it! Wow! It creates a recipe for becoming one of the best dev tool companies in the world! Thanks a lot, team Zipy for being our saviour :) Kudos to the entire team and wishing you all the best!

Hard to find amazing products that focus on no adoption. These guys really understand the pain of RevOps

The features are all amazing, and industry standard. Icing in the cake is pricing is a small fraction of what those huge organisations charge.

We use them for SMS to deliver OTP codes and both their country registration process & customer support is terrible...

Moved away from the product a while back. Had false positive errors. Was not confident it was monitoring as it should.

I've been through the introduction to Foundersuite. Killer design. As an avid Hubspot user, I see the need for a special purpose tool like this to make fundraising faster, easier, and more effective. Given the workload a CEO faces, this kind of advantage is kind of a no-brainer.
