Cision PR Newswire Reviews & Product Details - Page 8

Cision's distribution and tracking are great. Once I learned how to use them I saw how powerful they were at getting our stories in front of a big audience. The database of reporter and outlet information is also essential for any reputable PR firm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much! It has so many capabilities I'm still exploring, but that's not a bad thing. The support team has been great about showing me around and helping me correct any mistakes I made along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The step-by-step outline is easy to use. Uploading a release can be done quickly. The client can customize release times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to have access to an online proof that I can forward to my client without having to print. Giving access to the proof via a link that doesn't require a password would make the process much more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The greatest upside to PR Newswire is the largest amount of journalists and media outlets that receive each and every press release. I also enjoyed the press release tip sheet that I was sent by a salesperson & the domain authority of their website itself! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only complaint is fairly small. Firstly, since we needed to send our press release in a day (from start to finish of the process) and due to this speed, I had to follow up after I finished each and every step. Each step would have an estimated time amount & it always took a bit longer to the point where I had to call (and sit on hold) to move it along. But, if you're not sending it out quickly then don't worry about this! Each person I ended up speaking with was so helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to work with them when we needed to get a press release out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost - I think it cost us over $700 for a single press release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PR Newswire is helpful when it comes to setting up a release to go live over the wire. Of all the wire systems I've used it is the most streamlined when it comes to getting something set up quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing for releases can be overly complicated. When you have an account with a discount, its tough to gauge what its discounted, factor in the word count and the cost of the specific lists you plan to use. It's easy to miss a details and pass an inaccurate quote along to a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PR Newswire provides a multitude of micro lists, helping the distribution's placements be targeted to key audiences. Multimedia options are great and the cost for a photo or video asset are the same to include. PR Newswire's team is very quick to respond as well, so if you need to get something out immediately, you can do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a reflection of PR metrics more than PRNewswire, however total reach can be deceiving. While it potentially reached a lot of people, better metrics to review when looking at PRNewswire reporting are engagements and clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The PR Newswire is very simple to use and makes the user experience very easy to understand. I appreciate the intuitiveness of the system that leaves little room for error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
