What do you like best about Cision PR Newswire?

The company I work at uses this a lot. At least twice a month, and they like it a lot.

It's very easy to distribute the company's PR Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cision PR Newswire?

Probably the look and design but it doesn't really affect our work much. Also, wish they were faster at replying to customers. It takes some time for them to get back at us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

That you can share stories with press releases and content distribution and that you can also promote videos or photos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cision PR Newswire?

the use of the Cision tool/ PR Web is easy and very effective for our business needs. copying and pasting within the press release editor quick, and the prompts on screen are helpful. I also like how I can go back and edit my release before its finally "sent." I also really like the review feature so we can track the activity of the release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cision PR Newswire?

I do not like how I am unable to see more about the regions I am sending my releases to. I want to know more about each list. I am also disappointed that when we "upgraded" to a package, I did not notice much of a difference. Yes, it shows me that the release was picked up by more sights but we are not seeing any benefit to that as a business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cision PR Newswire:

The release packages aren't that great and therefore are not needed to get the job done. Overall a good way to distribute releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We need more awareness! As i mentioned above, we purchased a package in hopes of growing our reach of our press releases online. I also would really like access to the database of journalists but that is too expensive for us which is disappointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're able to get our news in front of many more eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cision PR Newswire?

PR Newswire is always reliable and thorough. If you need to get a press release out - and out quickly - their staff will help make it as easy and effective as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cision PR Newswire?

Sometimes the confirmation process takes a little longer than I would like, especially if you can't be by the phone or computer constantly to receive their confirmation message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cision PR Newswire:

Make sure you talk to them specifically about which audience you want to reach. Some of their more limited (and, thus, cheaper) media lists can be at least as effective as the big overall list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PR Newswire helps us reach a wide and appropriate audience when we have to send out a press release. This leads to better press coverage of our story. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Cision's PRWeb software for several years and have always found it pretty simple to use. The UI is pretty basic though, but it provides enough functionality to get a press release distributed through a network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cision PR Newswire?

Pretty basic IU... would like more bells and whistles, including a preview email mode that allows you to send a test of the web version with quote in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cision PR Newswire:

If you want basic, easy to use release software, this may be it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
