Thanks so much for your responses. I would be using it to manage clients' social media presence across platforms.

Ive used both and it depends what you are looking for.
Sprout Social
- Nicer Interface
- Better reports and engaging
- Geo-targeting
But no bulk uploading.
Hootsuite
- bulk uploading
- cheaper
- more social media channels
But no geo-targetting or gating posts (only enterprise version)

I have personally used Hootesuite and Sprout Social also seems a promising tool to me!
If you are asking for normal Social Media management tool which does not required any advance feature then my idea is to take a trial version of both tools and see what fits your need and if both tools can get your work done, just check the prices and make the decision (No Rocket Science).

Hell Netlover,
Its hard to say what is better depending on your needs. But one aspect to consider is the cost. Hootsuite offers a great individual plan http://signup.hootsuite.com/plans-cc/ with which a lot can be accomplished for free. Sprout Social on the other hand, has a free trial, but all plans include fees: https://sproutsocial.com/pricing. From my use of both Sprout is more advanced tool for advanced social media analysis, and study.
Hope this helps, and what are some tasks you are looking to accomplish?

Do having social sharing icons such as Twitter and Pinterest slow down site speed?
We are debating a redesign of a travel site and wondering whether having social sharing buttons including Pinterest and Facebook above each image would slow down site speed and therefore have a negative impact on our rankings. We are deciding between having the icons above each image or just in the side bar of all pages. Many thanks, Penny

Social media profiles with same description - Duplicate content or reinforcing business details?
Hi, I am currently doing a Social media review and find myself wondering whether having exactly the same copy - or part thereof, on a businesses' Facebook, LinkedIn, G+, Twitter, profile(s) is likely to be viewed by SE's as a good or bad thing? Is it duplicate content and to be avoided? Or would it be viewed as a case of the business trying to ensure a consistent profile and therefore reinforcing your business details?
