Ambassify vs Hootsuite Amplify
Looking for the Right Employee Advocacy Software?
Hootsuite is a leading social media management suite, and Amplify (now called Parliament) is its employee advocacy add-on. Ambassify is built for advocacy only. While we may be biased, our goal isn’t to criticize—it's to show what a dedicated advocacy platform adds to keep employees sharing. Keep Hootsuite for publishing: Ambassify imports your published company posts, so both tools work side by side.
