PR Newswire provides a seamless process for regular PR distribution needed for our average one release per month. The translation offerings are a nice addition and much cheaper than the standard translation service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Turnaround times vary by language, which have cause unknown delays for releases in multiple languages. The reporting capabilities are good, but would like to see more in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
its the best of the best -cision is my go to in all matters PR related! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes info isnt up to date. Sometimes an editors info is out of date but that is rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PR Newswire has excellent customer service. They are also very reliable in terms of getting our releases out at the correct time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that once you approve the proof of a release, it places it in a que where it could be accidentally distributed. We had an issue where an old release was sent out 5 times within an hour to our entire email list of beat reporters that we keep on file with PRN. I now don't approve proofs any sooner than necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cision is great when pulling large contact lists of reporters, editors etc. It makes it easy to contact specific people and search for publications. It has narrowing search features which help get the right person. I also like how you can export the contact list as an excel sheet which makes the process a lot easier since that is usually the next step in making a media list.

The biggest problem I have with Cision is that it only allows one user at a time to use the program. At an office focused on media and communication, it is imperative to use Cision on most projects, so when only one person is able to log in, it causes problems and slows down the process. Most of the time, colleagues kick each other out in the person mid-search. This loses important searches and makes it very difficult to work efficiently when researching.

cision is great... it neatly gives you relevant reporters contact information and info on what they cover Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
sometimes cision is outdated or just inaccurate. it would be great if they could do a better job keeping up with media and omitting journalists and producers who no longer work with certain publications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like being able to research journalists and send media pitches directly. It's nice to be able to view a journalist's profile and get their contact info. I had a story come up that had our company name wrong. I was able to find the journalist and send him a note with a correction right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything is separate. If I want analytics, I have to buy that. If I want social, I have to buy that. I also can't find journalists by keyword on a topic they may have written on in the past. Meltwater has that feature and I really like it (despite Meltwater's heavy pressure sales techniques, the service is really good). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to upload your content, including headline, photos and contact information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that the approval process after submitting content can take a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cision is a very powerful tool that is helping us with our digital marketing reach and web monitoring for markets that we work with as well as our company mentions. Their webinars to help train us on best practices in using their platform have been most helpful and their instructors have always been available for any questions or concerns we have.

Wish there was more integration with LinkedIn since it is the most widely used social media platform for business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
