Cision does well it's meant for and is also relatively stable software. Great support, too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface isn't the most intuitive one. Also, the media databases are sometimes a bit out of date (no wonder, though, as journalists change jobs often) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PR newswire is a great way to receive information from sources, as I am a newspaper reporter, as well as get the info out about your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't a ton to dislike about it, though like any piece of e-mail it can get annoying sometimes to receive info that looks like spam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cision archived everything you did, so you could go back easily and find releases you had pushed out. You can also put groups in "folders" so you can push it out to that group directly instead of handpicking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I did not like how long it took to do a test. I would have to give myself a few hours and wait for releases to come through to my email to see how it looked. I also did not like the complication of trying to put a photo in a word document and trying to get it to work once you loaded it to cision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that PR Newswire has connections with the top news outlets and I always seem to get the best results when using them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price! It is almost double the price as using PR Web and TRIPLE the price of using eReleases. I guess you get what you pay for though - the coverage cannot be beat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cision helps connect influencers and businesses to promote a brand. It has a large database of everyone you’d need in a network to get in contact with them, making it super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some information is unavailable or not public on listings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Without a doubt, Cision gets the job done. It's simple enough to use, and only took a few days for me to feel confident with distributions. The experience is all very guided, especially with the separate sections when it comes to actually uploading the release Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Few things I dislike: 1) That links within the body of the release don't transfer over when you copy and paste - it's just more time consuming to have to redo the links and 2) the formatting doesn't transfer over. As far as I can tell, there's no way to add bullet points within Cision, so you have to use hyphens and redo the formatting when you copy and paste something over and 3) I wish you could upload an image directly to the particular release, rather than into your Cision library, and then onto the release.
None of these are absolutely glaring items - just little things that would speed up the process of press release distribution and make the overall experience better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I get a lot of pitches in my inbox for my blogging business every day. I appreciate that PR Newswire does their best to make sure they send out relevant information so I'm not wasting my time reading things that don't pertain to what I write about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't say there's anything I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
