The best part is the intuitive interface. > > **Cons**: Sometimes, are platforms are logged out automatically and it's not always easy to connect them back. > > During my tenure in my previous organisation, I worked on Buffer and other scheduling tools but I always went back to Buffer for its easy to use interface and its posting limit. For small accounts, the limit of workable and for big accounts, upgradation comes at a very reasonable cost. So, it's user-friendly, saves time and is friendly on our pocket too. ----- ### "Best social media automation tool out there\! Period." — 5.0/5 > **Jacob** | *14 March 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It makes the hectic task of scheduling posts for multiple social media channels easy and straightforward. The re-buffer feature which lets you share old posts easily is another great feature. > > **Cons**: Buffer should integrate many more tier 2 social media channels to improve the value of their product. At present, only the popular channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. are supported. ----- ### "How can you be everywhere all at once in social media circles?" — 4.0/5 > **Chris** | *21 March 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and great value for content creation, especially when deploying an "everywhere, all at once" strategy. This tool is optimized to help you expand social presence and reach fast. > > **Cons**: The AI generation tool has a learning curve about the business, and what posts actually work. I wish it was connected to a larger, genre specific eco-sphere for training data, pulling the exact post and intel that's trending in my industry and repurposing all content to fit that trend. > > My business is using an "everywhere, all at once" strategy to post across all social media channels and connected accounts in an effort to be where our customers want/need us when they are ready. Buffer makes it easy to schedule out a month of posts on the major socials, and the AI tool can repurpose specifically for individual channels, as opposed to just cross posting. (a different tactic). Super easy to set up and deploy, if you have a social media strategy, this simple scheduler needs to be a part of it. ----- ### "Managing Social Media is a Breeze With Buffer" — 5.0/5 > **Kelly** | *9 April 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buffer is always making improvements, it's easy to use and I can schedule posts to practically every social media platform. > > **Cons**: It's $5 per social media platform. I have several accounts for myself and several for my clients. $5 per platform sounds cheap until you manage 10 or more a month. > > My overall experience with Buffer has been good. They have a great team that offers fantastic customer service. ----- ### "Buffer for Google my Business Page" — 3.0/5 > **Laura** | *23 April 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buffer is a good scheduling tool for Google My Business posts and shares them across Google My Business pages, as well as other social media sites like Facebook. > > **Cons**: Compared to other social media post scheduling and management sites, the only reason we use Buffer is to schedule Google My Business page posts. It just doesn't have as many features as say the Meta Business Suite. > > Overall, Buffer is an OK tool. We use it mainly for scheduling Google My Business page posts. ----- Page: 1 / 61\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/143492/buffer?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/143492/buffer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
