What do you like best about Bitly?

Bit.ly's easy link redirects and link/QR code usage data to support my marketing efforts, allowing me see what works and what doesn't, and enables me to be more efficient/effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

The user interface for link and QR code creation couldn't be easier. But, there's several features that I do not use or use effectively because it's confusing. Though, to be fair, I haven't used the training resources available to learn more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bit.ly allows me to have control over my links, and to update destinations as needed. It also allows me to see what activities, documents, social media posts are being effective and which are not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitly?

Bitly makes it easy to take my YouTube content and share it with a slick shortened URL. The short links are so valuable when explaining my content verbally or posting on social media. I have also put it to work with my Tinkercad creations. Sharing a bit.ly so users can easily access a template has been fantastic. I also love that I can track it all using the built-in analytics. Bitly has been a fantastic tool as I grow my YouTube channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

I liked when Bitly was free. That said, since I have a paid plan I do appreciate that I can edit and re-direct links. Analytics are worth the monthly cost too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bitly alows me to track how often my Tinkercad projects are interacted with. This allows me to make smart choices about what my upcoming content should be about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitly?

Being able to shorten links for social media is the primary function for us, but also creating UTM links, tracking analytics, and creating QR codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

I believe bitly functions as it is intended and I don’t have any downfalls of the product as of right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having long links is not ideal for social media, so bitly is a great tool for this purpose and I love that I can generate a QR code from that link and have the analytics be synced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitly?

As a nonprofit, it its important for us to have information ready for viewing for our followers and supporters. Bitly makes it easy for us to create short and easily sharable links in seconds.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

Different features but not well explained Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since we share our links on social media, Bitly allows us to share shortened versions, which help when we have a longer URL and are trying to keep everything in the word count. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitly?

I am often disappointed by new tech gimmicks, hacks and products. I had a lot of problems using different programs to try to make QR codes and shorten urls. It was costing me a lot of time and money.

What do you like best about Bitly?

I love the ability to create vanity backends for my clients. And then I can tell them how much engagement that URL has had. My clients love it too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitly?

Bit.ly qr codes should not have the bit.ly name on them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shortening the URL to create cleaner QR codes. When my client gives me a very long URL string with their own internal tracking, the QR codes have too much information on them and it looks almost like a black square. Bit.ly vanity backends make this so easy to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
