CoSchedule Marketing Suite

An Excellent Time Management Tool

Avantages :

I absolutely love the ability to reschedule posts for x-amount of future instances. Many of the blogs we do are listicles, and being able to plan out a posting schedule months in advance has saved us a ton of time. Reposting is a cinch. Collaboration is another big A+ feature. They don't make it difficult at all for someone to take over, share, and give back any piece of content.

Inconvénients :

It's pricey. It's not the most expensive management tool out there, but for what they actually give you for what you pay, it seems a bit steep. It's also probably not the best tool for larger businesses. We're not huge by any means so CoSchedule works great for us, but I can see a lot of problems arising for larger businesses.

CoSchedule Is A Must For Writing Teams

Avantages :

CoSchedule has workflow processing down to an art form! As the leader of a writing team I can't tell you how much time I've saved with this application. It's easy to schedule, assign, and monitor - all the way through sharing the content on a variety of social media platforms. I'm in love with CoSchedule!

Inconvénients :

A little pricey but, it is a virtual assistant and that makes it a lot cheaper than a full-time employee!

Good program, several bugs..

Commentaires : Extremely easy to use and a decent value for the money. For advanced reporting and a platform that is cohesive with all social media platforms, go bigger.

Avantages :

I like that it has an extremely simple platform, easy to navigate and customer service is timely. For the money, it is a good base platform that saves time.

Inconvénients :

This program is not cohesive with several needed platforms, and I have continuous issues authenticating LinkedIn. They say that it's the LinkedIn platform, I don't know. Used to get reports on activity, but they would always show no activity so they just stop sending the reports.

Awesome Tool for Blogging & Social Sharing

Avantages :

CoSchedule is such an awesome tool for solo bloggers and teams. You can plan out your content, schedule it and even schedule it out several months to a year in advance. You can pretty much set it and forget it. It's great for teams to see what each person is working on and what needs to be done. It's also very easy to use and works right in your WordPress dashboard.

Inconvénients :

The only thing I can really think of that I wish was different is that it's fairly expensive for bloggers just starting out. It would be nice if there was a lower priced option for beginners.

Solid project management option with some quirks

Commentaires : A good tool if you're willing to go all-in and marry yourself to it's quirky architecture.

Avantages :

CoSchedule is good at organizing projects and attaching tasks to those projects. The calendar view is also very userfriendly.

Inconvénients :

There's tedium in managing lists. Why can't items be hidden when they're completed, for example? Linking projects and tasks together is also very clunky.

Allows you to plan ahead

Avantages :

This tool is perfect for people like me who are forever busy. I can just plan ahead and schedule all my posts and projects at once. On top of that, I can always edit anything into and out of my schedule. When it comes to project management, it's so easy to attach files and tag your teammates.

Inconvénients :

The load time is slow. Other than that, I think everything works great.

Probably better for teams

Commentaires : Not as many benefits as I had hoped, but it is helpful to have my blog posts scheduled out for the year all at once on all platforms.

Avantages :

I like that I can post ideas and have my list for the month right in front of me, but truthfully, I have found I can do the exact same thing in Trello. I love the way I can set up templates to strategically post my blog posts out again on social media for the entire year on all my social platforms. It is super helpful to see everything that is scheduled to go out for the entire month all at once.

Inconvénients :

I feel like there is so much more to this software that I am just not utilizing at this time as it is just me using it and not a team. I thought the social scheduling would be sup helpful for me, but again, for my purposes, there are other tools that will work for me that are simpler and less costly. The templates are great but the setup could be easier and quicker, in my opinion.

Easy to learn and understand. Implementation was painless.

Commentaires : One Place for 20+ social accounts and 6 blogs. Time to post and schedule was dramatically reduced and the analytical reporting is Great!

Avantages :

Calendar view and task scheduler make it easy to collaborate with teams. Task lists can be created and saved to easily apply them to campaigns and love the fact that I can integrate with Email services and WordPress blogs.

Inconvénients :

Tagging across multiple platforms is difficult to do. I'm on the fence about the cost. The ability to use different photos is possible but you need to schedule then edit each platform individually.

Best scheduling tool

Commentaires : This software is a very important part of the workflow.

Avantages :

I can single handedly control everything as if there is a team of people working alongside me. Calender is an awesome feature embedded for scheduling purposes.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes the changes made on to the software are not explained properly. They need to provide some release notes when they update anything.

Awesome time management

Avantages :

Easy to use. Easy to train. Remote accessible.

Inconvénients :

I liked everything about it. I cant think of anything I didnt like.

Excellent Marketing Platform

Commentaires : Excellent.

Avantages :

The social media alerts were amazing and so accurate. Never missed anything out.

Inconvénients :

It was a little expensive for our company to use on a long term basis.

Content Calendar Organization Made Easier

Avantages :

The calendar view at a glance is nice for me to see what types of content I have planned in the future without having to look at another platform. Plus, the integration with WordPress makes it easy to move back and forth pretty smoothly.

Inconvénients :

The upload a doc functionality has not always worked. My team works with Google Docs and often includes images in the docs, which don't transfer into WordPress from CoSchedule very well in our experience. We have to upload the images separately to WordPress anyway so there is no time saved by uploading a doc instead of just copy/pasting the content. When they updated their pricing, they really pushed their social media scheduling feature, but we didn't need that because our company uses a different platform for social media. We were able to de-select that when upgrading our plan but we didn't need all the extra functionality the Team Marketing plan offered.

Great Social Media Management Tool

Avantages :

CoSchedule is really great for social media management. It allows you to post to multiple platforms at a time and schedule as far out as you would like. You are able to see previews of what the post will look like on each platform and CoSchedule alerts you to any potential issues (ie LinkedIn wont allow video uploads, etc). There is a "Best Time" feature so you can set a post to go out at the time they determine is the best to drive traffic - have found it to be very useful. You can also set time ranges as well and it will post at the best time in that range. Everything is super intuitive and there are many other features I have yet to use. CoSchedule also has a WordPress plugin for blog posting that is wonderful as well - you can schedule all the social posts to drive to the blog directly in WordPress and it will automatically schedule them on your calendar. CoSchedule also provides traffic metrics for the blog posts over social.

Inconvénients :

I do not have much to say that is negative about CoSchedule. There have been glitches in the past, where a post won't schedule or a few times the platform went down. Those have been few and far between however. Overall it's a great tool.

The ultimate blog management tool.

Avantages :

We are able to manage our blogs, from idea to post to social share. With a team of about 20 writers and editors, it really helps keep everyone in the loop.

Inconvénients :

It's a bit pricey, but hey, you get what you pay for. They also offer a few different ways to get discounts, and you can even pay per user if that works out in your favor.

Great web app, terrible mobile applications

Avantages :

CoSchedule can be as custom as you want it and the team that manages enterprise customer service is a quick phone call away.

Inconvénients :

The mobile apps are basically just the website thrown onto a mobile screen with zero regard for how the UI scales down. It's more often than not completely unusable.

Very useful and user friendly

Commentaires : Only after switching to another tool like that I appreciated overall experience with CoSchedule. Functionalities are not everything when UX is bad. CoSchedule had it all.

Avantages :

Very user friendly and helpful when managing every day marketing activities. Once I switched to another similar tool (company's decision, not mine), I miss CoSchedule a lot. Everything in one place.

Inconvénients :

Nothing like that actually, I can't come up with any cons.

Collaborative and simple to use

Commentaires : Overall, it's very positive, especially for a large-scale project like overhauling a website's content.

Avantages :

I like that it's very well organized and that both clients and team members alike can collaborate on projects within the platform. Suggestions/edits are easy to track and view.

Inconvénients :

Some clients have complained about it not being as intuitive as we think it is. Also, the fact that it requires a separate login for anyone viewing a project can add up.

It's like cloning myself several times over

Commentaires : As the head of a small marketing team, my time is stretched incredibly thin. CoSchedule provides the ability to gain more time in my week by having routine content planned will in advance so I can more on ideas quicker.

Avantages :

The lifesaving ability of this software is in its scheduling and templating. I save so much time by having templates for my weekly content that still allow me to dynamically input content so the posts stay unique. I can have all of my routine content pre-scheduled for the week, which allows me to focus on content as it happens and run with ideas faster.

Inconvénients :

Some features are not very intuitive, and it is very difficult to find information on the specifics of them before you devote time to them.

Powerful tool - quite a bit of set up

Avantages :

I've been looking for a content marketing calendar for quite a while and thought CoSchedule was the answer to my problems. It's set up perfectly for a content marketer like myself and has an incredible amount of integrations to seamlessly work among your marketing stack. Being able to automatically set up social posts to schedule once a blog goes live and setting up tasks and due dates is a great feature.

Inconvénients :

There isn't an "easy" way to use this software. While it's incredibly useful and robust, it's almost too overwhelming and difficult for some folks to adopt.

Amazing for Social Media Planning!

Avantages :

When I worked in my company's Marketing department, I used this software a lot of plan out social media posts out. It was nice being able to sit for a day and plan out a months worth of content so I wouldn't have to worry about it throughout the month and I could work on bigger projects. It was also great because my manager could look over what I had planned and if she didn't approve of something she could let me through the app.

Inconvénients :

It could be more streamlined and user friendly. But that's hardly a con.

Makes running a blog easier in terms of time & management!

Avantages :

I love that I can write my blog posts, schedule my blog posts to multiple social media networks on multiple days, and assign projects all in 1 place. It has eliminated several steps which saves so much time!

Inconvénients :

It is pricey for a new business or small blog; however, it is incredibly valuable. I haven't had any other issues.

Keep all of your marketing updates in one place

Avantages :

I am a busy marketer and CoSchedule has been such a time saver for me! What I really enjoy in using it is the fact that you can use it as a detailed content plan and keep all of your communication (including blog posts, email campaigns, and social media updates) in one place.

Inconvénients :

I wish it would be possible to filter how the updates are displayed in the calendar, i.e. by an assignee or a project. It would be also great to put it the status of each task.

It's been a great addition to our content marketing efforts

Commentaires : Team collaboration for writing is much easier.

Avantages :

It's quick and easy to integrate and with our growing team, has also been flexible to grow with us.++

Inconvénients :

WordPress is finicky and requires a little extra config help to integrate. Mainly, WP needs another plugin for when the scheduled post fails to go live.

Affordable sm management tool

Avantages :

Afforable and offers a lot of features, also allows you to have multiple users and multiple accounts.

Inconvénients :

Important features for monitoring are missing as are the in depth reporting needed to measure success.

Smart & Efficient Social Integration Solution

Avantages :

Social marketing tools and marketing calendar to schedule and manage campaigns. The claendar festure is a great simple look at how to publish and republish your content. Recycled content is so helpful. The template creation solution has been widely taken advantage of here as well.

Inconvénients :

The software is not intuitive, is more costly than some of it alternatives, and we experienced a few glitches during testing.
