For my clients who are using Sprout Social over the other available options, it came down to ease of setup and use, the insane quality of customer support, their social reporting, and analysis, influencer identification, social measurement, and engagement, scheduling, and …
I have used Sprout Social before which is much more complex than Zoho Social. The functionality is greater but it is a lot more expensive. I think that for Zoho if they were to improve their social listening functions then this would make the platform a lot more attractive to …
I've tried the free trial of Sprout Social, loomly, and Hootsuite. Sprout had a confusing dash, loomly doesn't post natively to Instagram, and Hootsuite wouldn't start my free trial and kept telling me there was an error. Honestly, I just like Zoho [Social]. It was the easiest …
I have used Sprout Social in the past, which is a great product in itself and covers almost every aspect that Zoho Social covers in terms of social media channels. However, Sprout Social is really expensive as a sole product, and also doesn't have integrations with other …
Zoho doesn't offer all of the bells and whistles that you get from Sprout Social but it is a lot cheaper at the same time – I find Sprout to be more intuitive and more comprehensive. I evaluated and considered both tools before going with Zoho, in the end I felt Zoho offered …

The Analytics are better in Sprout Social, but that comes at a cost.
Zoho Social is a great social media management tool that allows businesses, and individuals, to manage multiple social media accounts, schedule posts, track analytics, and engage with followers. It competes well with other social media management tools such as Hootsuite, …

Zoho has the exact same feature but it can be better with AI integration and stock image collection.
They have far more tools than just social, so we thought we would try them and if we liked them we could use the rest of their suite too. Turns out we liked them a lot
Zoho Social is similar to Buffer in price but you get more channels for the costs, while Buffer allows for Pinterest. Zoho is more difficult to customize posts based on social media channels than Buffer, but easier to schedule posts for all channels at once. Zoho is cheaper …
I'd tried Zoho initially for enterprise management solutions. After several years of trusted service and their awards in the industry, I gave it a closer look. Many social tools have come and gone or increased prices while downgrading services for the people who helped them …
We have tried other online social media management platforms such as Hootsuite however Zoho Social is the best platform we've used so far for a number of reasons. We have found it much easier to navigate across the Zoho Social platform and also more useful when it comes to the …
Sprout is very expensive for what it offers, it could be a great product, but it doesn't offer much more than Zoho does and it is actually harder to use.
Highly affordable for a small business compared to some of the bigger guys out there. At our stage of business, we don't necessarily need all the features. Zoho Social does just enough to help us grow and manage what we have with a small team.
It's in another league as far as I'm concerned. One point I forgot to mention was the Canva integration where you can pull designs/creative directly from your account or create a new design within.

Zoho [Social] doesn't require you to use their scheduling function in order to collect data on posts.
We either trialed, did extensive research on these other products or talked to people who use them. Some of them may have better analytics and targeting than Zoho for large enterprises, but we are not a large enterprise. We are also a B2B company so we are less concerned about …
Absolutely positive - all in one place to plan and post and analyse all my online content. Interactive medium, easy to use and easy to manage. This is all that any social media manager may ever want and look for. This is truly amazing! I highly recommend it to the ones who are …
