    We found TweetDeck was simpler to use and easier to navigate for handling tweets than Hootsuite. While it did not have the broader ability to handle multiple social media platforms, unlike Hootsuite, its ability to give you great oversight of many Twitter/X accounts at once …

    Several years ago I used the Hootsuite Free service. I found Tweetdeck to be preferable because of its user interface, and greater functionality. Moreover, I recall Hootsuite bombarding me with emails that were just irrelevant. TweetDeck just does what it does, without hassle. …

    Scheduling posts on Twitter Ads was always a relatively timely task, whereas TweetDeck is easy and quick. This means more can be done on the platform in a shorter amount of time, so extra work can also be done elsewhere.

    Sprinklr is a one-stop space for all social media platforms and Tweetdeck only offers use with Twitter. However, Sprinklr has been unreliable for us in the past for scheduled posts and is a bit more complicated to navigate - hence we alternate between TweetDeck and Sprinklr. Spr…

    TweetDeck has the best listening for Twitter. Other platforms have social listening, but only for direct mentions or hashtag usage. TweetDeck can do so much more than this, picking up mentions of your brand even when a user doesn't directly mention you or use your hashtag. …

    Unless you're using the paid version of Hootsuite, TweetDeck is far superior. Having no limits on the number of posts you can schedule is a big selling point. If you are on the paid version of Hootsuite, then you have more flexibility and the ability to manage multiple …

    There were a number of other social media dashboards I tried years ago but most of them were overkill for what I needed. There were lots of bells and whistles for lots of [money] but TweetDeck gave me everything I needed and was free.

    TweetDeck is much cleaner and easier to utilize in Hootsuite. And, better yet, it is also free, which is nice. For budgetary purposes, would rather put it into ads and other mediums than paying for a software service.

    There are many great Twitter tools out there for marketing etc, but for scheduling tweets, this is the only option I've ever explored (based on overwhelming recommendations). Even truer now that Twitter owns it.

    I've used HootSuite and HubSpot's Social Inbox. I would say that TweetDeck ranks third amongst them. TweetDeck is ideal for beginners and as they become more advanced they might want to turn to HootSuite or HubSpot for more features and integrations and analytics. If you're …

    Hootsuite - I've tried it 2 separate times but it was just overly complicated. At the time it also didn't have a better way to access it, like Tweetdeck Chrome app. Also compared to the regular Twitter site, it's much quicker and doesn't hide images. You can view about 7 …

    TweetDeck is ideal for complex media organisations / newsrooms where you want to keep track of several users accounts, or switch between multiple user and/or title accounts. It is perfect for those who want to follow conversations in real-time via many channels, at a glance. It is also useful for those who want to schedule tweets to provide around the clock coverage even when unmanned. Now that it paid-for is less suited to smaller organisations with tight budgets.

    Pros
    X Corp (formerly Twitter)
    • TweetDeck is the best platform to schedule tweets - it is far better than the website itself. The process is remarkably easy and scheduling a day's worth of tweets takes no more than 10 minutes.
    • Tracking news is very easy on TweetDeck due to being able to create multiple columns each focusing on a different subject. Columns can be created using handles, searches, hashtags, and trends, and this makes TweetDeck a great platform as a news editor.

    Cons
    X Corp (formerly Twitter)
    • TweetDeck has an editing feature for scheduled posts only if there is no image attached. When a post with an image needs editing, users must instead delete the entire post and reschedule it with the edits needed.
    • TweetDeck has a real-time display, however users often need to refresh the window manually to get scheduled posts to appear in the appropriate column.
    • TweetDeck users can scroll side to side to view all off the types of columns selected. This functionality often leads to traveling back to a previous page unintentionally.

    As I previously mentioned, if TweetDeck were to increase some features and integrations, cleaned up its interface, and developed a tool to measure ROI, it would remain competitive with HootSuite and Hubspot. Altogether, it is an effective tool for the job of scheduling and monitoring your impact on Twitter, it falls behind other competitors that offer a more robust solution.

    Usability
    X Corp (formerly Twitter)
    It's a pretty easy tool to use I find a few of the columns to be a bit repetitive. If you are managing more than one account you'll start to find yourself having easily 10 plus columns all tracking all different information which creates nice track lanes to keep all that relative information in one column or "view". With the amount of data that is pushed out, if you are following a large number of accounts, it's extremely easy to lose valuable posts in your feeds. As you begin building out your columns they get the point where you only look at one or two and the rest seem to be lost. Overall, this a free tool and there are other social monitoring tools that are out there but are in the multiple thousands of dollar range

    I've never had to contact customer support. Tweetdeck has always worked like a charm for me. And, if I have had a problem, I've simply deleted the column, then recreated it and it worked again. While it's not without its glitches every once in a great while, it's worked like a charm.

    • Positive: User-friendly and therefore easy to teach new members.
    • Positive: Easy team management (when there are multiple users/managers for one channel).
    • Positive impact on well being - You can take a break from social media and go on holiday even when you are working as a social media manager.
