How do you manage your social media marketing platforms?

[SenseiSteve]

I used to use Hootsuite to manage my social media shares, but became disillusioned with them after a while (don't remember why). What do you use?

Do any of you have experience with Brand Mentions, Board Reader, Quintly, ZoomSphere, Buffer or Buzzsumo?

I used to use Buffer, and still do if I'm posting out to Twitter in a batch. Buzzsumo was great for snagging headlines and helping with potential new articles, but I never used it much more than that.

I'm still a Hootsuite loyalist! I use it on a semi-regular basis to schedule posts, check posts, check predefined searches etc. While they limit the number of social accounts that can be connected, I didn't have much of an issue with the limitation.

I do use it less now that Google Plus was killed off.
