Cision PR Newswire Reviews & Product Details - Page 43

I like how you can quickly look up any information about media, very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes what I am looking for did not come up. It was missing a lot of local bloggers in the area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The detailed queries, that the journalists' emails are (usually) given, and the easy to navigate emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that the queries could be condensed into fewer emails at a time. It's a lot of reading through many queries for one or two that will work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the information and contact information for most of the reporters and press I am trying to connect with. It is simple for us to use and find the press we are looking to connect with. I really like being able to see who has read my email, which allows me to stay connected to those frequent openers and send less pitches to those who do not open as frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not every contact has all the information and is it difficult to manage lists. There is a learning curve to some of the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The accessibility and availability of all of the functions throughout the PR platform. I like that I can track my activity through charts and graphs, and also print out reports to monitor what I've done over a specified time period. Everything I need is on my dashboard and accessible to me and my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like more training on how to use all of the features, but I would like those trainings on my own time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about the Cision suite is how easy it is to use. Whether you are trying to create a list or simply send out a distribution everything is clearly laid out in front of you. They also have a really great database for niche industries. Working in the event industry, it can sometimes be hard to find all the global media contacts for big outlets online. Cision did not disappoint with their results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While they have great list for the US, some of their global contacts could use some work. Working for an international company with clients in Europe, Middle East, APAC region and North America - we need to be able to reach all these clients and potential clients. Enhanced lists in global areas would be great.

Their account managers, at least from my experience are pretty hands off as well. I would love to have them be a little more proactive with their approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wide breadth of information on journalists and specialty publications, the ability to narrow down searches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Outdated journalist/ outlet information, which led to media lists I had to vet for accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cision has a strong database of media contacts and is pretty easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The database is too high level -- you need to do a significant amount of additional research to make sure you are targeting the right reporters and outlets. The contact information is great, but the profile information is way too high level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to search contacts fast - instead of going through all of these outlets one by one, can do a fast narrowed down search Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Time to upload; some limited capabilities unless get a truly expensive plan. It is already a minimum of nearly $5000 - and to get more capabilities is easily out of price range Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That a lot of the media outlets have multiple contacts listed and their department. I don't always need to contact the editor or the marketing department when sending a press piece or a calendar event. Cision's organization helps me reach the most appropriate person for my message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The the PR tracking and ROI calculator costs so much. I would love to be able to track my leads and what actually makes it to print and who might have seen it. But, as a small DMO we don't have the money for those sorts of resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a one stop shop that allows us to meet all our media relations needs (list building, research, distribution, analytics tracking). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lags a lot when loading, custom fields aren't sortable, media contacts aren't updated often enough/proactively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
