What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

Access Newswire is a great agency PR solution that provides all of the global distribution options and technology solutions as other platforms but at a much more affordable cost. Customer Service is great and they are very attentive to our needs. We use Access Newswire for multiple clients and get great results. The platform interface is easy to use and the reporting is ideal for integration into full PR reporting. There is also unlimted word and text options from a release distribution standpoint which is a breath of fresh air compared to other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

Nothing I can think of. Platform use and reporting has gotten much better over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

The most significant advantage of Accesswire is its personalized, long-standing customer relationship management, epitomized by professionals like Tom Speciale. In an industry often characterized by transactional interactions, Tom stands out as a rare breed of industry professional who goes far beyond mere service provision. Our two-decade-long commitment to business relations includes press release distribution and active support through referrals, strategic introductions, and ensuring competitive client pricing.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

After two decades of collaboration, I have found no significant drawbacks in Accesswire's service delivery, which speaks volumes about their professional consistency and commitment to client satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

ACCESS Newswire is an excellent resource to circulate press releases and receive public attention for newsworthy content. It has a user-friendly dashboard, easy-to-use credit system (for press releases), and helpful customer service if there's ever an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

There isn't much to dislike, outside of the high cost for each release without a guarantee of media features (which isn't inherently on ACCESS Newswire). The only other downside is that much of the media outlets where your releases end up may not be relevant to your content or brand, such as local farm websites (which may be useless if you're in the finance or technology niche).

What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

We recently used Accesswire for a PR announcement and were very pleased with the experience. The process was seamless, pricing was fair, and customer service was responsive and helpful. We've trusted them in the past and will continue to do so in the future. This reliable service makes Accesswire a valuable partner for our ongoing communication needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

Nothing I can think of. But if pushed I'd wish or their editorial staff to guide us a bit more in creating strong PR announcements (with dos and donts) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

Accesswire has published our press releases on Yahoo Finance and Morningstar within a day or two. What more can you ask for? Plus, the service is outstanding. A few weeks ago I realized that I needed to make edits before my release went out the next morning. The Accesswire editor called me back close to midnight, which astounded me. I felt so much better knowing the edits were made and I could stop worrying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

I don't have any complaints at this point. I'm quite happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

The team! No matter what my struggle or forgetfulness or overbusy brain blip I run into, the Accesswire team helps me through it to ultimate success. They are kind, caring, responsive, enjoyable, and truly helpful. From my first point of contact through the ROCKSTAR Editorial team, I have sincere appreciation for Accesswire and their stellar customer service. I'm a fan. Also, they don't price gouge and truly help you position your release and multimedia for premium pick up and placement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

So far, there is nothing I don't like. I would like greater education on how to use multi-media, write releases that gain greater pick up, and tips to make my news hit more successfully so that I'm bringing their brilliance to my clients, but I really appreciate everything they do at Accesswire and the high-level of customer service.

What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

Newswire has proven to be a very beneficial tool for our organization.

It makes the entire press release workflow seamless and easy to optimize.

We especially like the interface, which allows for good team collaboration and a predictable process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

I would say Newswire is priced on the high end of the fare. However, all the additional add-on services that they try and nickel and dime you for are obnoxious, especially when they don't have a large cost to provide.

But they're somehow tacking them on for what seem to be exorbitant fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

Having spent time as both a service provider and public company officer, ACCESS Newswire is by far the most efficient platform I have used to date. Their employees are ultra-responsive, well-trained, and action oriented, and their web portal is intuitive and simple to use. In addition, their PR program and team are phenomenal, and the media-pitching tool is a true differentiator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

I do not have any dislikes about ACCESS Newswire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

Competitive pricing, quality of product and customer service, reach and impact is effective for businesses with scale, they are always looking to implement new innovations, more trust worthy/credible than other upcoming wires and better offers than other brand names. We use this tool frequently and easily, and it works well with how we integrate, and implement within our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

Platform UX is difficult to manipulate to filter different views so need to contact customer service for any changes can become manual. Editorial review process is manual and AP changes need to be managed on our side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Samantha Mickle of ACCESS Newswire

We're glad to hear that you find our pricing competitive and appreciate the reach and impact of our services. We understand your concerns about quality assurance and manual processes, and we're continuously working to improve in these areas. Thank you for your feedback.
