What do you like best about CisionOne?

how easy it is to use especially boolean searching Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

the fact that sometimes clips are not whole, the 5 min limit is very unhelpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Centralizing News, But Overwhelming and Not User-Friendly"
What do you like best about CisionOne?

Having all of our subscribed to news in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

It's not a user-friendly platform. There's a learning curve to getting the most out of the platform which takes time. There are so many features that it can be a bit overwhelming. The reports can't be customized in a way to look polished and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michalea Enmark of CisionOne

Hi Silver,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Happy that Cision has helped you keep your subscribed news gathered in one place and support you and your team with tracking company, competitor, industry, and investor coverage.

We also appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the platform’s usability. Hearing where things could feel smoother, especially around navigation and report customization, helps our teams continue improving the overall experience.

We’ve passed your feedback along internally for review.

Thank you again for sharing your perspective.

"Helpful for Tracking Coverage, but Misses Mentions and Skews the Numbers"
What do you like best about CisionOne?

It's helpful to track media mentions and watch media coverage that I would have otherwise missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

It doesn't seem to capture all of our media mentions. The numbers are skewed and don't reflect the work that is being done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michalea Enmark of CisionOne

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback. It’s good to hear that CisionOne helps you track coverage and create reports to share with your fundraising team.

You also noted gaps in coverage and metrics that don’t always reflect your work accurately, and we’ve shared this feedback internally. If you’d like, your account team would be more than happy to review your monitoring setup and talk through the coverage you expect to see.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

"User-Friendly Platform with Excellent Customer Service"
What do you like best about CisionOne?

The CisionOne platform is generally pretty user friendly. Once you've gotten comfortable with the various functionalities, the various tools are all great for creating customized reports and tracking analytics. When you do run into any issues or questions, the customer service team is always available and willing to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

I don't always feel the reported viewership/audience numbers are very accurate. I'd love to see that piece audited and refined a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michalea Enmark of CisionOne

"Great product with a few things to fix"
What do you like best about CisionOne?

I really enjoy the media monitoring feature. It's very intuitive and easy to understand. I also like the customer support I've received whenever I need help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

Two things I currently dislike:

1. Manually adding missing articles has become a nuisance. When I manually add an article the metrics don't show up. So instead of doing it myself, I reach out to customer support to have them open a ticket and add the missing articles for me. Hoping for this issue to be fixed soon!

2. Tagging articles has been very easy but I wish the tags were included in their own column when pulling a report, similar to the previous Cision versions. Seeing a tag column in the excel reports is integral to our team and stakeholders. Hoping this is something that can be added in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Media Monitoring with Some Learning Curves"
What do you like best about CisionOne?

I like that coverage can be sent to my inbox, which makes my day more efficient and saves my time without having to manually search. I also appreciate how easy the initial setup of CisionOne was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

I think the Boolean - it's confusing and difficult to get right. It takes time to get accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michalea Enmark of CisionOne

Hi Kaylee,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! Happy to hear that media monitoring and automated coverage delivery in your Cision platform has helped keep you informed and save time in your day-to-day work.

We know Boolean can be challenging to get the hang of sometimes. Our team is always happy to help you further refine your monitoring and discovery workflows if you need support.

Thanks again for sharing your perspective and feedback.

"Disappointing and not fit for modern PR reporting"
What do you like best about CisionOne?

n/a - I only hear negative feedback from my team - dealing with Cision's limitations has been a major drain on my team's time and my time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

We changed to CisionOne from Muck Rack last year and it was a really bad decision. The functionality is more limited, and all of the AI features that Cision claims to have were non-existent. They put blocks and limits on the numbers of searches you can do which seriously reduces capabilities when doing research for new business or monitoring client competitors. The platform is not intuitive and there is no way of filtering out meaningless mentions without manually sifting. This has been very disappointing and as soon as our contract expires we will be moving back to Muck Rack.

In addition, when pitching the media, the emails we send to journalists don't appear to come from us and look spammy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
