What do you like best about Cision PR Newswire?

Calling us and collecting payment (very on time). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cision PR Newswire?

Poor experience with PR news wire. Paid over USD 2100 for PR releases in greater china, malaysia, and Singapore. They are good and quick at collecting payment but when it comes to delivery, their syndication was late, and no ways to monitor pickup rate. Emailed them, was told it was a public holiday and someone will get back the next day. But never heard from them again. Terrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cision PR Newswire:

Terrible personal experience. Will not use again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

not really solving me any problem. Feels like a scam. Wont come back again at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most comprehensive media database in the industry. Allows us to easily monitor a wide variety of topics, keywords, etc. for our brand. The tool lets you search from a huge list of criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface is outdated and sometimes hard to navigate. The search feature, although very comprehensive, is hard to navigate and confusing to most users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cision PR Newswire:

This is still the best media monitoring and media contact database out there. The industry is definitely getting more competitive but Cision is working/has made updates to their tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Monitor brand exposure and impact of media team work. Also, allows a team of writers to find media contacts and deliver releases to leading journalists/outlets. Easily track placements in key outlets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
