What do you like best about Cision PR Newswire?

Simple program to send out a wide press release to different news outlets. It prompted for an easy Google search and was easy to review after submission. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cision PR Newswire?

Wish I could see how many times the release was opened or read and exactly which divisions it was sent to. I can only track so many from Google and if they had an customer interaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cision PR Newswire:

**Be sure you're aware of where you release is being sent. It's a great initial hub but you may want to do a little more research and investment to obtain more information and stats on your actual content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cision PR Newswire solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rather than reaching out to individual PR sites, this company will distribute your release to other various news outlets and companies. Again, it's easier than doing so individually but I wish there was a count of read/opened on each site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
