Cision PR Newswire Reviews & Product Details - Page 38

The clean design and how user friendly it is. Also how amazing the customer service is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a huge fan of the media list building Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a very extensive rolodex. It allows you to search for a plethora of journalists/bloggers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The information was always out of date. We would find information that was years out of date that Cision said they would fix, but never did. Also, the press releases we sent out through Cision were always branded with Cision's logo instead of ours, regardless of the fact that we were paying nearly $20,000 a year to use the service.

good amount of datas, secured lists, access to gorkana datas Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

bad management system, slow and data aren't well classified. Can't make a research based on multiple criterias Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a company that doesn't have a dedicated PR team, this is a solid product. It allows you to monitor your digital voice - and be reactive in a quicker manner. If you were to partner Cision with HARO (Help a reporter out) you could proactively look for opportunities on the PR side to increase your brand awareness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price of the platform for our organization was equivalent to bringing a full time person on board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplicity of entering text and pictures. Also like that it lets you see a preview of how it will appear online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish there was a way to make simple edits (fixing spelling errors) to a press release after it has been published/ the process to edit after publishing was more simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate and typically accurate, makes building large lists easy with the export function Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not always up to date, sometimes contacts have moved outlets and that is not reflected in the database. I've used it at large agencies but can be cost prohibitive for smaller non-profits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cision helps us identify the right media contacts quickly and enables easy bulk emailing to news media and bloggers. It also makes finding out about editorial calendar opportunities for media outlets available. You can generate Lists which is useful, and it also provides current contact information of reporters, editors, media outlets, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool for building emails is oftentimes difficult to navigate and the work-arounds add more time, which is just an extra burden. The interface takes some time to get used to -- it's quite old looking and the workflow is not very intuitive at all. One feature I particularly struggled with was figuring out how exactly to distribute a press release, which is mostly why we bought Cision to begin with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's constantly updated database of contacts. It allows me to be confident that I'm not wasting time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The time it takes to export lists and organize them seems a little outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can pull targeted lists of media contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that Cision still pulls industry analysts when I'm searching for media contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cision is the best of the best. I've worked with the "cheap" softwares before and they just can't stack up to the quality, breadth and depth that Cision offers its users and a PR gal's clients. I know my lists are up to date and always targeted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little on the pricy end, but it's a major value ad for any PR agency looking to offer its clients top notch media relations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
