Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has a social media presence outside of the hours people are able to devote to an organization.""The main improvement HootSuite offers is allowing my organization to run social media campaigns.""HootSuite has an AI engine to suggest trending topics related to our business. The engine works really well and comes up with excellent suggestions for more posts."

More HootSuite Pros →

"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training.""inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not.""It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with.""It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum.""We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not.""I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard.""Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive.""It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."

Cons
"Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet.""The company should reduce the pricing to make it easier for companies to deploy to larger social teams."

More HootSuite Cons →

"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release.""One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker.""I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended.""If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow.""Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available.""I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific.""It could improve the quality of calls.""MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
