"Great PR Software!"
5/5
What do you like best about CisionOne?

I enjoy monitoring media for keywords and competitors, and using that information as a form of social listening to identify outlets and contacts covering specific topics. I also appreciate the ability to easily track all mentions, audience reach, and AVE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

Sometimes the platform misses mentions, and occasionally contacts aren’t yet in the database. I know these can always be requested, but when moving quickly, it can be challenging to pause and submit those requests in the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Media Coverage Yet Needs Reliable Parameters"
3.5/5
What do you like best about CisionOne?

I like the fact that when the same article is published by different outlets, they are all put together, and I can choose to take them all into account or not. I like being able to see the share of voice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

Sometimes the site seems to lose the parameters we defined together and we have to wait some days to get them back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michalea Enmark of CisionOne

Hi Nelia,

Thank you for taking the time to outline your experience. It’s helpful to hear that grouping identical articles across outlets and tracking share of voice supports your coverage reporting and internal tracking.

You also mentioned instances where predefined parameters seem to be lost. That feedback has been passed along to our product team for review. If this continues, you’re welcome to connect with your account team so we can better understand what’s happening and support you directly.

Thank you for sharing your perspective.

"Accurate Coverage Tracking, Needs Improved Usability"
2.5/5
What do you like best about CisionOne?

I like CisionOne's accuracy in measuring coverage success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

The overall interface of CisionOne is a bit of a pain. The old Cision platform was way easier to use and get around in, and it took way less time and effort on my part. The whole interface feels cluttered, especially the sidebar, which makes it tough to navigate. The layout of the old Cision site was so much clearer and didn't require as much thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michalea Enmark of CisionOne

Hi Daniel,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad to hear that Cision supports your work with media monitoring and coverage tracking.

We also appreciate your honest feedback about navigating our new interface. We’ve passed along your comments to our internal teams to help us continue to improve the platform experience for all users.

If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to connect with your account team to share this feedback in more detail. They’re happy to support you and help ensure you’re getting the most value from your Cision solution.

Thanks again for your in-depth review.

"Comprehensive Media Database, But Interface Lags and Journalist Info Lacking"
2/5
What do you like best about CisionOne?

- Comprehensive media database, when compared to other platforms.

- Comprehensive media monitoring tool for the most part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CisionOne?

- Slow interface and regularly lags.

- Media database removed descriptions of journalists in place of their X bios, which makes researching more labor intensive.

- Media database filtering is hard to use and the results are often overwhelming.

- Results from media monitoring often have discrepancies -- a publication may mention a company several times throughout the week but not all of the articles will appear.

- Boolean queries are somewhat effective but often requires a lot of filtering, which then omits certain results.

- Process for scheduling alerts is clunky, requiring extra steps just to schedule a recurring alert schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
