Likelihood to Recommend
First plan may seem a little expensive, if you don't know a lot about the tool and how amazing are those options and functions you can discover along the way, and during your trial period.
My client needed an SMM tool for their multiple channels. This vendor has a great price for what they offer. Lots of powerful tools and channel integrations in easy reach, to make managing your multiple social media profiles, in one place, pretty easy. The UX could be better e.g. popups get in the way, lack of targeting feature with pro account. UX copy could be made more concise, straightforward, & clear.
Pros
Social media management
Post scheduling
Integrations
Cons
UX copy somewhat bloated
Onboarding sometimes gets in the way
Likelihood to Recommend
Considering the alternatives available based on my client's technical requirements, the pricing vs. features on this app are very good.
Very easy to use and has a lot of important features. Scheduling and tracking analytics is crucial for me to ensure my clients get the results they need. The site allows multiple pages or social accounts to be added which does really save time and money in having to monitor the pages individually and this is the single best feature. I would say it is very useful for managers with a large number of clients because Vista Social is like a one stop shop. I have started using it very recently and hope to continue use long term.
The main downside is that it is very overwhelming at the beginning due to so many components on the dashboard which mean it takes some time to get started. The value for money also is not as good as I would like it to be.
Pros
Offers a range of features
Easy to use once you become familiar
Keeps much of the work across different accounts in a single platform
Cons
I think the price is quite high compared to hiring a person for the same task. This may put one off from purchasing as with a bit more time you can do the same job yourself or with an employee for much less
In my opinion, the interface is rather complicated visually and doesn't have an appeal. It is cramped with so many features that provide a sense of confusion whilst starting off
In my experience, the tutorials do leave a few questions afterwards regarding set up and this can take more time to figure out by yourself.
Likelihood to Recommend
When using it for a large number of accounts, it is very useful.
When completely time strapped with very little personal time to schedule, post and record, the site does this perfectly well.
Less useful with only a smaller number of pages or accounts to amange due to complicated set up and the overwhelming number of features.
Also less useful unless you are making a large income and have high profit margins as the cost is high and it still requires a person to create the posts, monitor the analytics and complete the steps on the site.
I mainly use Vista Social to bulk schedule posts across multiple platforms, which saves a lot of working time. The calendar view makes it easy to get a quick overview of upcoming content, and reporting is simple to generate and share. It helps me stay organized and manage content more efficiently for several brands at once.
Pros

It also saves us time by being an all-in-one marketing tool.

Vista Social is best for companies who have in house marketing departments, Busness owners handling social media themselves, or marketing agencies handling marketing for their clients.
Vista Social is able to solve my collaboration and planning problems within my current role. The availability to assign tasks, as well as set some tasks as a priority, allows me to collaborate with my team more efficiently. I also found that the planning tools on the website was really helpful. I typically use Microsoft Office to plan my social calendar, however the site has its own calendar where it shows different holidays and important calendar dates, as well as giving you the option to add notes on certain days. It is nice to be able to see your month as a whole, and see what you have planned/going live
Pros
The design and layout of the site is simple, with the options to click through the different tools on the left hand side of the page. What I liked most about Vista Social is the ability to combine all the different tools that a social media manager needs into one platform.
I typically use various different apps and platforms to write down notes, assign tasks to different team members, and look at my overall content calendar for the month. It is brilliant that Vista Social is able to combine all of these into one platform.
When first signing up to Vista Social and exploring the platform, each page offers you a walkthrough of all of the tools available to you, which is really handy, as well as a customer support section on the right bottom hand corner.
Cons
At first glance Vista Social might look a bit overwhelming, with a lot of different options available, to create, schedule, run reports and analysis across different social channels. However the tutorials mentioned do make this less daunting.
Likelihood to Recommend
It was really easy to integrate each of my social profiles onto the site, and add whatever social channels I needed to, quickly and efficiently. Therefore, someone who needs to manage more than one social channel would really benefit from the platform. Also users that are looking to review, and analyse the data from their posts and campaigns.
I am definitely someone who likes to plan, so the notes, tasks and create space on the site makes it really easy to have everything in one place, and implement social strategies, as well as assigning different team members different tasks to be most productive.Overall, Vista Social is a brilliant platform, and what I liked the most about it is the way it has integrated different platforms into one.
