Loomly

Time savings, essential marketing tool

Kommentarer: Very good

Fördelar:

It is simple to use as a manager but also as a user. I can monitor new users and get an overview with the entire team

Nackdelar:

I would love more analytics ideally but understand there are restrictions due to APIs. I would also like to see new features for each platform roll out more quickly but understand the challenges of testing first.

A Great Cost-Effective Option For A Social Media Management Platform

Fördelar:

We've been very pleased with our experience using Loomly -- our top priorities in a social media management platform were post scheduling across channels, the ability to accurately preview how posts will look, being able to tag other users for review, high-level analytics, and cost. We've had great experiences with Loomly's customer service and appreciate that Loomly is constantly adding new features. We especially appreciate the calendar view in Loomly and the ability to both plan and create content.

Nackdelar:

The analytics offered by Loomly are good but it would be helpful to have more in-depth options.

Okay platform

Kommentarer: My experience with Loomly is very poor. Forget about contacting customer support because there is none. If you do get a hold of someone, it is the same canned responses or no responses. I've had my analytics disappear numerous times without any way of getting them back, except going through the original social app's insights. Keep in mind that will not work with Instagram. Those will never be recovered. Yearly plans cannot be refunded (see fine print) if they're not holding up their end of the agreement. Probably the worst overall experience with a social posting app.

Fördelar:

-Visual calendar to see current and upcoming posts -Multi-team use, can control who has specific access but that requires more money -Library to keep all assets in with information

Nackdelar:

-Nothing to run ads through; FB allows to drop a pin in which you want to run ads-this app cannot do that type of heavy lifting. -Loomly ends up deleting analytics at any moment. Make sure you write them down or print before they're lost, but this is the reason you're paying for more, right? -Does not post to Instagram nor YouTube. Must manual post everything for those sites -Any third parties they use for posting, they change it every year. So you need to register with those companies to get anything posted to Instagram. -Don't rely on any help from the platform. No customer service or support to speak of. Often times you're ignored or allowed to try and figure out their platform issues. In the end, it's not convenient to use.

Affordable, easy, and powerful

Kommentarer: Very positive, brought it over from my last job because I liked it so much and it's affordable

Fördelar:

Ease of use, cross-posting, and scheduling as far out as i would ever need

Nackdelar:

Probably the limitations with aspect ratios, though it has more to do with the platforms. Also sometimes it keeps shortening my links when I don't want it to.

Great for Agencies

Kommentarer: Loomly is a fabulous tool for managing multiple content calendars with multiple teams. The client approval process is smooth, and the analytics reporting is so valuable for our clients. Their customer service is quick to respond & super helpful.

Fördelar:

Super easy to customize for different brands & teams. Love the workflow options, auto-publishing, analytics reporting. Customer service is exemplary. Product updates are valuable & responsive. Easy to use, quick to learn.

Nackdelar:

Wish we could archive calendars for inactive clients so they don't appear on the dashboard.

Peace of Mind

Kommentarer: I am very grateful to have found Loomly as I almost always have a positive experience when I use the software.

Fördelar:

Loomly gives me peace of mind when it comes to posting social media content at the right time. It also has a wide range of features and can post to a wide range of social media platforms.

Nackdelar:

The only problem I faced is when connecting multiple accounts from the same social media site. However, when I do have a problem, the Loomly team is happy to help within 24 hours!

Loomly is Amazing!

Kommentarer: Whenever we have experienced challenges, Loomly reps have been quick to respond and very helpful.

Fördelar:

Loomly was the first program I saw that had so many of the best features of its competitors, all in one place, and all for a great price! Better yet, they have kept adding to what they offer!

Nackdelar:

We tried using the advertising side of Loomly, but found native platforms more robust.

The best social media calendar for organization out there!

Kommentarer: My overall experience with Loomly has been positive. It's helped us save a TON of time when it comes to organizing social media posts. We wouldn't be able to keep up with the constant social media posting if it wasn't for Loomly!

Fördelar:

Loomly helps us create and organize all of our social media posts in one easy-to-use calendar. We can schedule Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and more social posts in the Loomly platform. I love the calendar view, where we can easily see all of our social posts in one section. I also love that you can drag-and-drop to quickly reschedule certain posts, making it very easy to organize and plan out our calendar. The auto-posting function is great, where it automatically publishes your posts to your social media accounts, saving us time and energy. There is also a great approval system where you can submit your posts for review if another coworker in your company would like to review them first before publishing.

Nackdelar:

I don't love that Loomly doesn't integrate with Instagram. Loomly can automatically publish your social posts to Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin, but it doesn't connect to Instagram. You have to go through another 3rd party website called Zapier which costs money and is a little complicated to set up (it's also very glitchy in our experience). So we still have to manually publish our Instagram posts each day.

Unlimited organization and support to get the most out of social media

Kommentarer: We found our way with Loomly, as it organized our social media presence, increased the reliability of the data captured from interactions, and enabled us to continuously support our potential customer lists.

Fördelar:

With Loomly, I always know where to start. Preparing posts, setting a publishing plan, and implementing it is done with high efficiency. Scheduling is agreed upon and assigned with ease. After publishing, Loomly continues to work and does not stop, as it monitors comments automatically, blocks what does not comply with our policy, and also answers inquiries within the comments according to the settings we prepared in advance. I love that it constantly updates the data, to reveal to us the reality of the interaction with our posts and the extent of their ability to influence.

Nackdelar:

Loomly makes every step simple, and I would like to enhance its integration capabilities, so that we can benefit from its services on all platforms.

A good social media manager

Kommentarer: I used it for a hot minute and it was good. I can’t remember why I stopped ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fördelar:

It was straightforward and easy to use. It was one of the few social media apps that works with Google business profile.

Nackdelar:

Nothing I can remember. It did what it was supposed to reliably.

The Best Content Calendar out there

Kommentarer: Our overall experience is great! We really enjoy the simplicity and collaboration features of this tool .

Fördelar:

It's so simple. Everything in Loomly is simple, from setting up the accounts to creating content calendars, and collaborating on their fine-tuning with clients.

Nackdelar:

Other than content calendar and functions around them it's not a very feature-rich tool at all.

Why I use Loomly for my social media posts

Kommentarer: Very friendly emails, quick response to problems. The software is stable and continuously being enhanced. Payment integrations for Instagram campaigns are (I believe) currently possible.

Fördelar:

Loomly has a very straightforward workflow, it is easy to learn and use, and is very affordable. You can give your posts different labels to keep tap on your different content types ie podcast, recycled old post, video. You see recommendations on how good (or not) the day and time you have selected is, for your social media site. Graphics can be added. A link shortener is part of the software. You go from selecting calendar, content type, social media platform, time and date and review or publish with great ease. Even better, it now integrates with Facebook paid campaigns. You can set up and deliver your Facebook ads all from the Loomly dashboard. For the single blogger who just runs one set of social media sites for their blog/business, it's a sweet deal.

Nackdelar:

I'm not aware of how you would be able to republish the same post, multiple times. However that is not something I like to do, as I feel it gets 'spammy'. This software is best for the small blogger. But, hey, that's the majority of us!

Unique Organization for Optimal Analytics

Kommentarer: This software has allowed us to speed our workflow with minimal effort without adjusting how we strategize and build social campaigns. It is the one management software that I have found that actually works the way we work rather than forcing us into a different workflow. Finally, superior analytical tracking has helped us raise the bar on how we write, design, and strategize our social campaigns and buckets.

Fördelar:

The ability to tag posts has enabled us to dig deeper into our analytics, tracking content items by subject and design elements, to promote knowledgeable decision making when we revise quarterly social strategy.

Nackdelar:

As a relatively new software, there are certain features that they are working to debug, correct, or expand. Some elements in the post building process could likely be streamlined. But customer service is very transparent with issues and opportunities and very willing to help.

Best and most cost-efficient social media tool I've encountered so far.

Kommentarer: Loomly makes it really easy to schedule content, then customize it for each channel. The analytics reporting is stellar, too. When onboarding new users, it's easy since it's so user-friendly. Overall, a really good tool.

Fördelar:

I love the depth and ease of reporting analytics. The ability to simply pull up a screen, apply a filter and see so much detailed data that's easy to digest isn't something I've seen with the other platforms I've used, which includes the usual popular tools.

Nackdelar:

I'm wishing that the connection between Instagram Stories and Pinterest was as robust as it is for the other channels.

Wanted this to be our choice for social media management

Fördelar:

We love how many options there are, we could connect ALL our socials and get data and insights back, often even more than are available in the native app (how do you do that Loomly? very clever).

Nackdelar:

This is unfortunately a result of the biggest pro--because we could connect so many socials, the whole interface is very complicated to look at it was extremely difficult to train some of our less tech savvy staff on how to use it. If there was a way we could isolate an individual user to just see one aspect (eg our video editor to just see youtube) that would be very helpful.

A must have tool for any digital marketer.

Kommentarer: The ability to be able to schedule my posts is a feature I really appreciate. Being able to set specific dates and times for my posts has allowed me to maintain a constant presence on social media.

Fördelar:

As a user, I can manage all my social networks in one place, which has saved me time and allowed me to be more efficient in my daily work.

Nackdelar:

I find it a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy to use.

A potent tool for fine-tuning an organization's social media platforms

Kommentarer: I love the fact that with Loomly we have a clear methodology for posting on social media, and this has helped us expand our engagement with the aim of reaching more potential customers.

Fördelar:

With Loomly, after linking it to our social media pages, we can control a lot of operations and data, as Loomly, through effective scheduling, enables us to organize publishing times or publish at the same time on all platforms. It is also good that we can make several copies of the same publication and format them independently to suit the requirements of different platforms. It's also great that Loomly is able to capture and collect meaningful data about interactions with our posts. It is great that we can assess our ability to achieve the desired effect on social media based on accurate data.

Nackdelar:

You can't help but love Loomly, and I haven't had any difficulties yet. I would love to find in the upcoming upgrades more additional capabilities to match the current development in social media.

Loomley Makes Your Marketing Easier!

Kommentarer: Excellent so far!

Fördelar:

Love the ability to schedule send and manage multiple social media channels simultaneously.

Nackdelar:

It takes a little while to learn, but overall it is pretty easy. The customer support option is available and helpful.

it is a comprehensive social media management platform that helps in businesses.

Kommentarer: Loomly is an all-in-one solution for social media management that helps organizations and individuals save time, increase efficiency, and improve the effectiveness of their social media campaigns.

Fördelar:

Loomly offers a comprehensive set of tools for planning, scheduling, and publishing posts across multiple social media channels.Loomly provides valuable insights into the performance of social media campaigns, helping users understand what's working and what's not.The platform's image and text editing tools make it easy to create visually appealing posts without the need to switch between different tools and platforms.

Nackdelar:

Cost: Depending on the specific plan and features required, Loomly can be a relatively expensive solution for social media management, especially for small businesses or individuals with limited budgets.Dependence on internet connectivity: As a cloud-based platform, Loomly requires an internet connection to be fully functional. This can be a disadvantage for organizations with limited or unreliable internet connectivity.

schedule everything, everywhere!

Kommentarer: So far it has certainly allowed us to be more consistent with our postings across different platforms and means the content doesn't just look like it was copied from one to the other. It's formatted correctly for whichever platform.

Fördelar:

Being able to schedule across all the platforms, with previews of how they'll look, speeds everything up. Content looks like it was made just for that platform, even if it wasn't.

Nackdelar:

The optimisation tips are generic and annoying, often telling you the same thing over and over.

Loomly

Kommentarer: Overall, I love Loomly. It have made managing and posting to our social media accounts so much easier. The ability to schedule post is such a nice feature especially when it comes to Holiday post. Most Holidays we are out of the office so it is nice to be able to schedule the post before we leave and not have to worry about it the day of.

Fördelar:

I loved being able to post to all of our social media without having to sign in to each app. Loomly allows me to post to all of them through one app and that is what I love most about it.

Nackdelar:

I do not like how different the process for tagging people in the post is through different social medias. When tagging people on Facebook through Loomly, it is super easy, but when it comes to other social medias it is a bit more difficult.

Really Handy Overall!

Fördelar:

I am the main user of Loomly in my office as the social media manager & one of the graphic designers for the organization. I use it just about every day and I find it very useful for planning posts, organizing my time and posting schedule. I like being able to see the calendar I've created in several different views. I also love being able to see what our feed will look like with the posts I've created, even including future posts that I've assigned but not yet published. I also have found their customer service to be really responsive and friendly, and go the extra mile to figure things out for me when I've had an issue, or not understood something within the app/site. Its been really interesting to use this app, and my department has chosen to continue our subscription past the trial because we like even being able to give each other feedback on posts, assign certain topics to specific people, and see the history of posts & images and pull from those for future posts without scrolling way back in our feeds for that info.

Nackdelar:

There are just a few things I would like to see improved with the use of Loomly. Overall, I find the design of the interface it to be very intuitive and easy to use; however the thing holding it back is posting to Instagram. Loomly is a bit behind on integrating it's system with the new Instagram rules (which now DO allow publishing through third party apps). So as of right now, it is not easy to post to Instagram, and in fact it almost feels like a waste of time to even use Loomly for that because you're just creating posts on Loomly and then having to redo everything through Instagram later, or copy and pasting everything from Loomly which is just an extra unnecessary step. I've also found that that part of the interface (especially from the app) to be counter intuitive and it ends up giving me lower quality images than what I uploaded to copy and past into my post. This is really only one area that I've found to be lacking, but to be honest, the point of an app/website like this is to make less work, not more for a social media manager, so I do think it's important to be on top of it.

Great For Social Media Scheduling

Kommentarer: The overall experience has been wonderful. My only negative feedback is the inability to auto-post with Instagram unless you have a Buffer account. I'd also like to customize what steps I take when scheduling. (For example, I always skip the "audiences/filters" feature when scheduling for Facebook, and I'd like the option to get rid of that step entirely because I won't use it for my clients.) Otherwise, the interface is smooth, easy-to-use and learn, and helps me write and schedule content more efficiently.

Fördelar:

I LOVE that you can write the content once and then tailor each set of copy for each social media channel. For example, the exact same copy that works for Facebook doesn't always work for Instagram & Twitter. With Loomly, you can write it once and then go into each platform and customize your content to include hashtags, shorten links, etc. You can also upload custom photos for each platform. Other social media schedulers only allow for one set of copy across all the platforms you choose, making it cumbersome and time-consuming when you have multiple platforms to schedule.

Nackdelar:

I cannot stand the fact that you have to also have a Buffer account to enable auto-posting with Instagram. I really, really wish they'd figure out a way to allow auto-posting instead of getting push notifications on my phone without having to have a Buffer account. I don't want to have to pay for two social media schedulers. Loomly would be nearly perfect if not for that huge flaw.

You pay what you get for

Kommentarer: Their customer service is great. The view of the posts is great. But not having Instagram is a huge missed opportunity. I know they are working on it- but taking away a functionality that was once there is really frustrating.

Fördelar:

It is super nice to see the calendar view and the ease of use is pretty great. I also love the recommendations they provide based on if your post is posting at the right time, right length, or even just some ideas on what to post as far as holidays that day etc.

Nackdelar:

You can no longer post directly to instagram! As an agency we made this platform as a recommendation to clients and now it really stinks that it no longer does what we said it could do because they took away the instagram publishing. This is huge.

Love Loomly

Kommentarer: Collaborating with clients on content, way better than spreadsheet content calendar notes to see the actual post and then update a live link

Fördelar:

I've used this program for about 4 years. I actually got my new agency to move to it, and it's been incredible. I love the fine-tuning and organic targeting options.

Nackdelar:

No IG direct publishing and new items like Pinterest broke right when i got my clients excited about them. This was fixed, but items shouldn't be rolled out if it's not 100% i can sell to a client and rely on it 100% of the time.
