That not only your press release reaches so many media in a small amount of time but that it also lives on the PRN website forever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Looking for syndications is very helpful. Cision is able to pick up on articles that Google misses. i like the format of Cision with the publications showing where they're based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Searching for coverage is difficult when punctuation marks aren't allowed in headline searches. Not every journalist is on Cision - wish that was updated more. Deleting and adding my coverage is difficult and doesn't work always. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The industry leader. Great customer service. Fantastic results that help cut through the noise to our target audiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review times have gotten a bit long, and I'd like to see the time to review a press release drop down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can send news online. That's about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The UI is terrible and does not bring any transparency in pricing. You have no idea how much a PR cost unless you explicitly ask for it when you submit it. You have to manually review your contact

- There is no transparency about the cost. A PR I was about to send was 480 words where in my contract, it's stated it's 400 words. I have been asked $280 for the extra words but there is absolutely no indication of what is included in my contract. Same is true for picture ($400 PER picture and NOT mentioned in the interface)

- This service was designed in the 90s. You need to manually call a representative when you need anything.

I will be shopping for the competition before my contract renews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cision is super helpful when you need to distribute press releases efficiently, build media lists, and pull data points for articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can sometimes be an overwhelming tool for beginners that don't have a lot of experience with the tool.

It could be improved if the user interface was more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
