The software allows a variety of distribution channels across all outlets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only issue is the learning curve that comes with such a powerful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Cision every day and though most of its products and services are the best in the industry, the distribution needs a lot of work. Customer service is always top notch though and should be noted they are willing to walk us through the processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is incredibly difficult to use. Oftentimes we turn to other distribution services because it is too intimidating. Also, it seems to be too hard to train. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was easy to sign up for and upload a press release Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface wasn't as modern as I would expect, and the levels of options are not varied. You have to buy a larger package in order to have it viewed by many, and I'm not sure it made an impact on our PR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way the platform is organized makes it quick and easy to find what you're looking for or looking to do (ex. send out an email release or wire release). Also the live webinars are really helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes you need to follow up a Cision rep on a question you submitted via email or phone call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the ability to create and manage media lists in the system. This helps our organization to target recipients for our news releases by beat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dislike how everything is an add-on (i.e. social listening and integration)--I feel that enterprise customers should be able to do everything & make Cision their one-stop-shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how easy it is to find reporter contact information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a fairly costly platform. There might be other, cheaper options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Cision as a way for me to get contacts for various musicians for us to contact. Its invaluable in finding correct publicists and artist reps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The log in process is very disjointed, and requires clicking a press release 2 times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I signed up to Cision quite accidentally but soon it turned into an essential tool for my job. it's an asset. I was able to do fam trips and write one of a kind reportages. I have been invited to events I would never imagine. It's like to be in comfort zone, with Cision you know that you don't have to go crazy to find contacts, someone will do it for you. So when I see in my inbox something unusual I know there is Cision behind. I recommend to all my colleagues to contact someone at Cision and ask to be added to their press list. They are also kind and they contact you if they see something is not right in your profile. Can you ask for more? don't forget that it is meant to save time and provide information that would otherwise only be available to those that have developed personal relationships with those journalists. Cision is the best out there. It's an investment that all Pr should do. As someone who is in the younger or even older, crowd, this is useful to me because when I started, I was unsure about how to reach who I needed to. Helped me immensely! Again don't think twice and go for Cision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
nothing to complain, never had any issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that they call me to confirm every press release and their editors are really thorough. They've caught many simple mistakes that saved the client embarrassment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wish the layout of the page where you upload releases wasnt so cluttered. There are only a few things I do each time and having to scroll and scroll through stuff is annoying but wouldnt keep me from staying with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
