It has one bug that frustrates the hell out of me. No matter what I set the platforms to be - it always insists on setting a chedule to scrape everything. It takes ages to scrape Twitter and I rarely use Twitter, but even if I turn that off it still scrapes it. I have to go into the icon in the bottom left of the screen and turn off each task that's queued to run.
Other than that I've not had an issue with bugs for several year. I have an agency and Buzzbundle has oversight on 7 clients social media channels. 7 X Facebook, 6 X Linkedin, 2 X Google+, and 1 X Twitter. The alternative would be an enterprise account from somewhere like Sprout or Hootsuite or Falcon that cost $200 per month. For a one off fee and a small annual update sub Buzzbundle comes in at about 50X cheaper. Though we have some on costs for that. We use 5 proxies and leave it running on a laptop in the office 24x7 (along with other software that runs 24x7) We could move it to a VPS but we are always being asked to change or add things by clients so having the box it's on right next to us on a desk makes more sense.
The forum and blog scraper is a huge plus as well. Can't tell you how many times we've got a client's brand right in front of a major audience with that.
But it does have a few annoyances. It's not perfect and if you are only running 1 of each account then the free of $9 online services might be better. For agencies, the choice between $2,400 a year (minimum) or maybe $200 up front and $60 a year after the first (maximum) is a no brainer.

Well, given the price for this software, you probably can do it with BuzzBundle. Most platforms that offer keyword / social networking monitoring are way too expensive. Therefore, if you are looking for the software that provides everything in one solution, BuzzBundle can work for you, if you can put up with the sometimes confusing interface, it is the winner for a one-time price.
I've been using it throughuot 2017 and can say for sure that I like the ability to track keywords and phrases on social networking platforms (that's probably a key function for me), ability to analyze many social networks and websites for key phrases at once, managing personas on multiple platforms, the switch account function is great for use.

Do you use local proxies by any chance?
