Loomly

Avantages

Loomly is a great social media management tool. It provides the convenience to connect almost all of my social media platforms at one place. I can publish my post to all my accounts at the same time. As a freelancer, I create content for instagram, pinterest and facebook and I use loomly to preview how exactly my posts will look at different platforms. It suggests the trending topics which light up the post ideas. It provides Tips for optimizing the posts. It reaches to the targeted audience via sponsored ads. It also shows the performance of the posts with detailed analytics at the Dashboard. I can monitor the dashboard from the mobile app. Whenever I work with a team, I can easily collaborate and connect all of them.

Inconvénients

There is nothing to dislike, the price is also fair looking at the services provided by this tool. While creating instagram post, It does'nt allow to mention or tag personal profiles. And it would be good if the dashboard can display the comments at posts from each platform.

Avantages

Simple, easy, and designed for the work I do. Not as online salesman like all the others. I manage 5 different small businesses social media. what I need is not to be able to spam people with unless sh** but to craft valuable engaging content and deliver it to hard earned audiences. Love the builder, love the client collaboration, love the calendar, LOVE the library. and most of all I love the way they are constantly developing and innovating, that for me is infinitely more important then any specific feature.

Inconvénients

It's new and run by what feels like a very small team. This isn't a block buster summer movie but a tiny little cult classic. Loved deeply by some but not enough. The design is a little rough, the functionality a little finicky. I heard that initially it was designed by a husband for his wife.

Avantages

Loomly really streamlines the creation and publishing process for social media. It allows for customer review and approval and keeps track of who is doing - or needs to do, what. It has all major indispensable features and social networks and you can bulk edit and fine-tune each content.

Inconvénients

Calendar view by month is a little cumbersome because it doesn't give bird's eye view when you are at the end of the month. 4-week view like Google calendar would be better.

Buffer, Agorapulse et Hootsuite

Pourquoi passer à Loomly

Best features/price ratio and solid approval process for customer's account. Adding more team collaborators on equivalent products was way more expensive. Other products did not have same social networks support.

Avantages

I Signed up for Loomly because of 3 features mentioned on their website(Post Inspiration, Post Builder and the ability to store images and videos in the library for use in future posts.)

I also liked the workflow options, which are:

1. Original workflow with 6 different post states (Draft, Pending Approval, Requires Edit, Approved, Scheduled & Published)
2. Lite Workflow with 5 different post states (Draft, Pending Approval, Requires Edit, Scheduled & Published)
3. Zero workflow with 3 post states (Draft, Scheduled & Published)

Since I was managing one of my personal brands I used the Zero workflow option, however, I'm happy that there were other options.

I liked the post ideas option, where you save RSS feeds to use for posts. I selected the option that allowed automatically made draft posts from all the articles in the RSS feeds. I could then edit the draft post as I liked.

Another thing I liked about Loomly was the ability to preview how my post would look like on each platform.

Finally, I liked the post builder/planner/editor (I'm not sure what it's called) I liked the option to define generic content (ie the base content that would be shared on each profile. After this, you can then fine tune each channel, removing and adding from the base content, adding hastags, etc.

I liked the tips it provided for each network, tips such as reducing or increasing the length of the copy for specific channels, changing the scheduled time to a more suitable time etc.

Inconvénients

I hated how it took over ten minutes for my post to publish after clicking the publish now button. It kept showing "Submitting..." In the end I had to refresh the page and start over again. After refreshing the page and redoing the post it worked and my post was published immediately.

Avantages

This platform helped us get organized and get started in being more professional with our social media marketing, it does wht it claims to do

Inconvénients

We had found an alternative package that is much more cost effective for tiny companies like ours. We missed the deadline for canceling the subscription by less than 24 hours only to find out they have no refund policy, basically canceling the subscription, their policy says we can not get a single dollar refund, and we find this policy absurd, I did contact their support team to see if they are willing to refund us based on good will, however their policy clearly states that they do not give refunds. Truly dissapointed

Avantages

Loomly is a great social media tool with user-friendly interface suitable even for beginners. You can collaborate on the posts with your teammates and also preview the post befor posting it, which is great. Very helpful are also the content suggestions based on trending topics.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately Loomly doesn't offer mobile app which would be very useful when you need to work out of the office.

Avantages

I love how easy Loomly is to use. I love the suggestions/tips it gives as you go through the posting process. I also love the ability to add multiple calendars.

Inconvénients

I do not like the photo library. It does not function correctly. If I select unused photos, it shows me photos I've already posted using Loomly. If I select photos within a certain group that I've added and used, it won't show the photos in the results. I also don't like that customer service is not immediately available to address questions or concerns and that there is no phone number. One more thing, when adding hashtags you don't have the option to look at all of your hashtags....it gives you about 10 to choose from then you need to remember/create additional ones to use.

Avantages

This works great as a social project management tool. It allows one person on the team to draft the post and other admins to review and approve the posts before they are published. I also love the calendar tool that allows you to tag posts by category and see all of them in the calendar at a glance.

Inconvénients

There's nothing I really dislike. My only suggestion would be for more capabilities, like being able to "share" a post link to a designated team member after it's been approved and posted.

Avantages

I like that I can tag people in comments on posts so we can communicate about edits. I also like that posts are color-coded depending on their status (pending approval vs. scheduled). One thing that's really helpful is being able to edit content for each platform once the initial post is built out. It's awesome that you can drag and drop posts in the calendar view to change their dates.

Inconvénients

I don't like that I can't see a preview of the post image in the calendar view. That would make things a lot easier. I also would love if when I went to edit a post from the calendar, it would just show up in a pop up window but it doesn't do that. In order to add anything to a post past "quick post" you have to go through and fill out ALL the steps which can get annoying.

Avantages

It’s extremely user friendly. The calendar view is exactly how I like to see what’s going on. And the price is almost unbeatable for the amount of users Loomly allows, compared to other applications like Sprout or Hootsuite.

Inconvénients

Not being able to post directly to Instagram is a bother, but I understand this is an issue with all of these post-planning applications.

Sprout Social

Pourquoi passer à Loomly

Easy to use interface and again, fair price point for the amount of users. Side note, it was extremely easy to CONNECT all of the social accounts, unlike some of the other applications.

Avantages

Having used other softwares (Hootsuite, Later.com ect) - we were waiting for the day Loomly would release native publishing. The tool is competitively priced and so user friendly! We hardly spend any time training new members of the team.

Inconvénients

Though I don't think this is Loomly's fault, we'd love to be able to schedule stories and carousel posts to post automatically (not reminders for manual posting!)

Avantages

I love that I can schedule ahead on social posts (including Google my Business, which other brands do not offer), and have multiple client account channels in the same screen.

Inconvénients

No complaints so far on this software program!

Avantages

I like the ease of use with Loomly and the pricing model. Many of the features (daily inspiration being one) that I liked about other scheduling software, I have found to be more user-friendly in Loomly. I also love that the option to customize my posts based on the platform I'm posting to is all in one place and I don't have to create individual posts to start.

Inconvénients

I'm looking forward to Loomly getting auto-post features for Instagram - Once Loomly is an approved partner I don't know if I'll have any complaints.

Pourquoi passer à Loomly

Pricing, Features, and ease of use.

Avantages

With Loomly, you can manage all your social media content and interactions from one platform. I find it easier to use than similar offerings from other companies. The interface is simpler and cleaner. I can receive information via email, push notifications or even Slack. So when people engage with my content on my social media channels, I receive alerts.

Inconvénients

I wish Loomly was integrated with WordPress so that posts could autopublish from WordPress vial Loomly to all my social media channels.

Avantages

Loomly does exactly what it claims to do, reliably, and easily enough for clients to use the platform as well.

My absolute favorite part of Loomly is being able to visualize all of my posts using the monthly calendar view. This can be done on a calendar-by-calendar (client-by-client) basis or you can see a master calendar with everything in one spot. Any images you upload are also saved to a media gallery for quick retrieval later.

There are a few really helpful views, such as the monthly and list views, but you can also see what individual posts will look like on a platform-by-platform basis. When you enter a post, you can customize that 'generic' content on each platform, making it extremely simple to tailor the message to different audiences.

The advanced analytics section is helpful in being able to identify engagement rates, top performing posts, and to simply compare different time periods. Analytics for the linked social accounts can all be viewed here, so it's nice to be able to work from one tool instead of having to log into each platform separately.

From a collaboration standpoint, the comment system works well. You can @mention specific users and assign posts to other for review, edits, or approval. It's an effective way to manage a high volume of posts.

I average about 400 posts per month, and I never feel worried that I'll miss something.

Inconvénients

I would like if there was an option to disable email notifications if I'm already receiving app notifications.

It does not have two-factor authentication, which could be a dealbreaker for some.

The automatic publishing to Instagram is still in the pipeline. It would be handy to have, but it's not enough of an inconvenience to bother me on the day-to-day.

Avantages

I get inspired by new things DAILY and my top priority in choosing a social media scheduler was to have a platform that allowed me to easily rearrange posts so that I wouldn't have to put new inspiration at the end of the queue of scheduled posts.

I LOVE Loomly because I can drag and drop my posts on my calendar and move an item from one day to another happens in a matter of a second. This capability wasn't possible on other platforms that I explored and it means the most to me! I also love that I can color code and label every single post to stay completely organized and easily see what I've got coming up for scheduled posts!

Inconvénients

There isn't anything significant that I dislike about Loomly - I've had a great experience and highly recommend it!

Pourquoi passer à Loomly

Pricing & ability to easily rearrange my scheduled posts.

Avantages

Loomy helps to keep social content relevant to real events by combining the details to a live calendar. With loomy's integrations to social media apps such as Facebook, insta, Pinterest it is the most economical social media management software with a very user-friendly interface. Worth the money. '

Inconvénients

Loomy doesn’t give you much insight into the behavior of your customers. So we have to predict the less Loomy is providing. The notifications of the system needs improvement.

Avantages

This platform is affordable and so easy to use. It makes managing the social calendars for my clients so easy.

Inconvénients

They need to get Instagram to allow them to direct publish. Once that happens, the software will be amazing.

Avantages

Loomly gives marketing agencies the ability to share content with clients without giving them full access to the entire project scope. We like the fact that we can tailor our audiences and that it gives us the ability to see each platform individually.

Inconvénients

The one aspect I feel could be improved is the calendar function. Each time I want to go back instead of scrolling through the weeks to go backwards or forwards I have to manually switch to another month. I also don't like that it defaults me back to list mode each time I log in. I prefer calendar so I wish I could be lock that in as my preference. I would also love to know who the last person was to access the account. I could see if it was our team or the client.

The ability to add a number of different calendars, plus the ability to easily grant different permission levels to users. This means I have been able to give different team members access to the company profiles but allow their posts to be approved by an admin first. This was a key feature requirement for me and Loomly was one of the only ones I found that could provide it.

Inconvénients

The calendars seem to lose their connection to the social media account or need to be re-connected a bit too frequently. It's not difficult, just a bit annoying sometimes.

Avantages

I switched to Loomly from another social media calendar tool because of the teamwork features, the @mention capability, and the detailed monthly reports. I really love how easy is for my team to use, collaborate on, and schedule out our posts for our social media clients.

Inconvénients

Overall, the cost is a little steep when paying month-to-month. (I had to upgrade to get the advanced reports.) It would also be nice to have a Google Chrome integration, as well as the ability to create custom reports. The biggest feature that's lacking is direct publishing to Instagram.

Pourquoi passer à Loomly

Avantages

Love the calendar planning and being able to drag and drop to change post dates. The workflow options have been very useful in planning posts and then marking them for approval when ready so my supervisor can sign off on them.

Inconvénients

Wish there was a grid preview function that could exclude my story posts! I really need to preview my gallery posts in a grid, but there is no way to sort out the story posts. I don't mind manually publishing all that much but it would be really nice if it would post automatically and with tags. I would love if I could drag and drop from month to month (right now I can't drag a post from April into May).

Avantages

I had been using Buffer but found that it was hard to visually see all of my accounts and all of my planned posts. Loomly solved that problem! Not only could I visually see the images, dates and times of my posts, but Loomly allows me to modify each post for all of the six different platforms they support. That means I can customize my post for each audience- Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. BNot only that, but having the ability to set each post's status (editing, approval, scheduled) makes sure that in-progress posts aren't accidentally published and that I can work with my team on crafting each post before it's ready to go. Super intuitive, super effective and just what I was looking for!

Inconvénients

The only challenge we're still having is that Instagram hasn't yet allowed Loomly to use their API and sometimes it disconnects from Instagram. Loomly is working hard on this and it should be solved soon!

Logiciel antérieur 

Buffer

Pourquoi passer à Loomly

It had the most integrations (6), best price, and most intuitive/usable interface.

Avantages

Ease of use. Once you link your social accounts, it is very easy to start posting and scheduling. If you are short on ideas, Loomly has a section to give you popular hashtags on any given day. The entire process can be as automated as you wish.

Inconvénients

The analytics. I wish they were better and were more options. They are ok and they help, but I personally use another program for analytics.

Avantages

Loomly has a clean interface, is easy to set up, and the AI powered post ideas brings a great selection.

Inconvénients

Loom lacks analytical/statistical tools, it can be a decisive factor for data oriented teams/companies.

Avantages

I loved how you have the ability to view your posts on a calendar as opposed to list and weekly. This gives me an big picture overview of our messaging strategy.

Inconvénients

I feel like basic analytics should be packaged as part of the basic plan and a paid version would give in-detailed analytics.

Avantages

The simple UI and platform previews are awesome, but the most useful part of the platform is the ability to create, schedule, and edit copy per social channel. I utilize one piece of content and schedule it (at all different times) for Facebook, Twitter & Instagram and then am able to tweak the copy for each platform individually before publishing. This is so key for making sure twitter copy is short enough and adding hashtags specifically to Instagram. Again, the platform previews are awesome to know what your post will look like on the various social channels.

Inconvénients

Needs multiple Image upload ASAP. I actually have to utilize another social media management platform anytime I want to schedule a post with multiple images for Instagram. Other that that, nothing. Can't beat the cost for the convenience it provides. Integrates seamlessly with Buffer as well, but would be nice to not have to pay for Loomly & Buffer.

Avantages

The feature that really sold me was that I can schedule posts ahead of time, and it was cheaper than the other apps and programs I looked at.

Inconvénients

I can't schedule multiple photos/photo carousels for later posting, this has to be done manually but they do send you an alert to post.

Pourquoi passer à Loomly

Cheaper and I loved it after about two days of the free trial.

Avantages

How easy it is for our social media team to set up the posts and the content and for our account managers to then go in review and approve the posts. The tips that Loomly recommends for your posts is super helpful too. Overall, Loomly is by far the best tool we've tried (and we've tried them all) for managing over 25+ social media accounts.

Inconvénients

Takes a bit to get used to (doesn't all new software!) but after that, it's a breeze.

Avantages

Ease of use. Scheduling features are flawless and easy to use.

Inconvénients

The constant bombardment of staff offering you advice and that advice popping up with no room to run it off as well as when something goes wrong with a post it's very hard to fix you just have to re-do whilst not knowing exactly what actually went wrong.

Avantages

I love that:
- I can customise each social media post per channel.
- I can create multiple calendars, schedule posts and see what's happening on each one.
- I can colour code each client on each calendar so when I see the main calendar I know what belongs to what.
- I can also title my posts and schedule them at the time I want them to go out.
- I can add users to each of those calendars.
- The software is inexpensive compared to others - especially with how many users you're allowed.
- I can boost a post straight from Loomly, and even create ads.
- I can create different audiences to target those ads.
- Loomly gives me social media post suggestions for what's happening that day. It also remembers and suggests hashtags when I'm putting those in.
- Loomly shortens urls and gives me previews to those urls, which I can turn off if I want to.

Inconvénients

Probably that I need to use Buffer to post directly to Instagram. I would also love to be able to post more than one photo on Instagram.

Avantages

It makes it simple to manage multiple calendars, accounts, and lots of content.

Inconvénients

There's not a great way to add or edit in bulk.

The Pros:
- Easy to use
- The process is very easy for scheduling.
- Clean interface, very organized
- Easy Android App to use on the go
- Perfect Social Media Scheduling /Posting
- Love having clients approve proofs before social posts become public
- Love the drag and drop calendar
- Love the easy duplicate post option for multiple same post scheduling
- Pricing is very fair
- Supports Image and Video
- Great customer support (I have reached out to them a few times already with quick response)

Inconvénients

Some of the negatives of the software
- no location tagging ability
- no stories option (Storrito has figured a way in doing this)
- preset design software would be nice (not a deal breaker but would be convenient)
- no set time option (need to keep changing the time from the calendar quick build view)
- Would be useful, in the calendar view once you're editing a certain post to stay within the calendar view post and not redirected to page, editing a series would be much more convenient then having to go back again into the calendar view.

Avantages

Loomly makes posting content on social media fun and easy. With just a few clicks you can post on multiple social media accounts. I am using this tool for multiple businesses I own and it works like a charm.

Inconvénients

Instagram publishing isn't automatic yet. They are working hard to make this happen, but at the moment you have to publish your instagram post manually.

Avantages

The best thing about Loomly is the general user-friendliness of writing up and scheduling posts to all our different social media platforms. It's very easy to tweak the individual platform's posts to suit their unique uses. Also the topic suggestions when creating a new post are very handy if you want to get something out but are stumped for content

Mainly because it seemed to do the same thing but cheaper. The low price was really the selling point for Loomly.

Avantages

Best thing about the software is that it allows you to plan and schedule social media content in advance and also allows you to create visuals and write posts.It can be easily integrated with your social media accounts.

Inconvénients

The thing which i like least about this software is that it integrates with very few social media platforms which might not be good for some businesses.It can be expensive also for some small businesses.

Avantages

We love how easy it is to navigate through Loomly. It's user-friendly and well organized. We have a team of individuals that work on Loomly and it is super easy to assign roles, get notifications and make updates when needed.

Inconvénients

Three things I would love to see on Loomly:
1) Automatic Instagram publishing - which I know you are working on but a timeframe would be nice to know.
2) Easy access to the master calendar on the mobile app.
3) For "passed" scheduled posts, add an option to directly post instead of having to reschedule.

Avantages

Good user interface, ability to set up posts that can be easily duplicated, including many settings that are tedious to keep setting up on -platform.

Inconvénients

I wish I could auto-schedule rotations on posts, so that a daily post can just be on auto-pilot until it expires.

Avantages

Loomly has all the major features including content approval workflows that a social media management team requires. Also the tool is quite easy to use, have an intuitive UI and the customer support is also great.

Inconvénients

They show some post ideas & trends, however, most of them are useless to B2B enterprises. If they could improve on those ideas based on the kind of posts created from the account, that would be great.

Avantages

I am a freelance brand consultant and help many of my clients with social media campaigns. I chose Loomly after my trial because I enjoy the user interface, it supports multiple clients easily, the built-in reporting and audience targeting is really helpful for month-end result analysis for my clients. I also enjoy the main page where daily inspirations and a summary of scheduled messages can be found - this has been effective in keeping me organized and

I tried several but SproutSocial and Hootsuite were the main two I was trying to choose from and then I found Loomly, I found it to be the perfect price for use tool for my size of consultancy and my first months of use have reinforced that I have made the right choice.

Avantages

Love the ease of use and the ability to collaborate with all my clients. I also appreciate the idea starters and the usage of Unsplash imagery. It's great to view calendars in multiple ways. My clients really enjoy the tool - and how easy it is to approve and schedule. It only takes me about 15 minutes to walk them through it and they're ready to go.

Inconvénients

My only complaint is that there is such a steep jump in pricing - going from standard to advanced. Since everyone who touches it counts as a user - it's really tough to keep it at 6. Would really prefer to be able to add users somewhere betwee 6 and 16. It would also be great if there were different levels/costs of users - eg. those who posted, and those who just approved.

Avantages

2 months ago I started as a local Social Media Photographer. Which mean I am a social media expert that does the follow-up for a lot of local stores/enterprises' social media in combination with a monthly dose of photography.
I was looking for a platform that made it easy for me to import the pictures and form a calender that I could send to my customers so they can follow every step of the social media-planning.
Loomly has it all:
* Nice calender
* Details of every post
* Statistics at the end of the month for all my channels (Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook)
* Good pricing!
* I LOVE the customer service. Whenever I need to ask a question, they almost immediately respond to my messages.

Inconvénients

There's not much to dislike but I'm still waiting for the automatic Instagram-posting! Because I have a lot of channels, I can't do it on free platforms so I need to publish manual for the time being.

Also the analytics could be a bit more in detail (e.x. Iconosquare is very detailed!)

Avantages

The calendar view is spectacular! I can view my upcoming posts by a list or calendar view, AND I can view my different company calendars in a consolidated view! OMG! If I have a queued post that I want to be moved to a different day, just drag/drop to a new date. Easy peasy!

The analytics are amazing!! Tells me my top posts (by saves and comments) and my flops (by saves and comments) as well as metrics for each post for each of my social media accounts.

I own three businesses and manage social media for a 4th. The sharing capabilities allow me to queue posts for the managed company to review/approve as well as allow employees of the managed company to generate their own posts as needed.

Inconvénients

The only con as of now is the IG posting is still manual. :-( It does facilitate easy posting by loading up my post to my IG account on my phone for me to review and approve, but it would be nice for it to auto post.

Avantages

desktop platform that pushes to Instagram and has auto-publishing capabilities; team review workflow; alternate captions; multiple social media channels; monthly calendar; reminders; library for photos; comments -- basically everything that is included is great

Inconvénients

lacking and instagram feed view to plan how quilt would look with the queued posts

Avantages

The calendar feature. Other than that not much else good to say about this pay-only service that is heavily promoted and seems to have a lot of fake positive reviews.

Inconvénients

No customer service, posts don't publish a lot of the time. Only Instagram images allowed, not videos. Video posts in general incredibly limited. Hootsuite is messier but much more reliable.

Avantages

I love Loomly because it's so easy to use. I love being able to preview my posts before they are scheduled. I also love that my clients can approve the posts directly. This eliminates the need for spreadsheets and uploading photos/videos for clients to view. Customer service is great, too. Anytime I've had an issue, it's been resolved very quickly. It's very affordable as well.

Inconvénients

Direct publishing to Instagram, but I believe it's coming.

Avantages

Very easy to use and manage with all my customers. All of them said that it is a very intuitive tool and they are very happy to work with it.

Inconvénients

Still no direct publication with Instagram but it has been solved temporarily with Zapier integration.
