What do you like best about GlobeNewswire?

GlobeNewswire and the Notified platform have made it very easy & flexible to offer Press Release services to our clients, without any strings attached. The flexibility has allowed us to use press releases when it makes sense, rather than feeling like we need to use a subscription for the sake of not wasting a month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

I can't think of too many. It would be nice to have more robust analytics, and the ability to see what other outlets / publishers choose to basically "repost" the GlobeNewswire distribution word for word. If it also could tell us who wrote about the press release with a dofollow backlink to the client website, it'd be a goldmine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobeNewswire solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted to offer flexibility so that our clients could utilize press releases when relevant, and not have to subscribe to a "use it or lose it" monthly package with a long contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Ripley of GlobeNewswire

We're thrilled to hear that GlobeNewswire has provided the flexibility you need for offering press release services to your clients. We value your feedback about wanting more comprehensive analytics and tracking capabilities, and we will keep this in mind for future updates.

What do you like best about GlobeNewswire?

We have used GlobeNewswire several times to publish press releases for our company. It is a really quick way to get releases out to a broad network of media channels. I have been most impressed with how quickly and helpful their staff has been in responding to either questions we have had or when we submit a press release how quickly they have turned it around for publication. In my experience, it is usually a matter of minutes to get things formatted and loaded into their system, have us approve it and then have it hit the wires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

The user interface is not always straightforward. I would like it if it were a little more user friendly and easy to navigate. However, once I figure things out, things have always worked smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobeNewswire solving and how is that benefiting you?

GlobeNewswire provides a cost-effective way to reach a broad variety of both general and specialized media outlets with news of our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Ripley of GlobeNewswire

Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad to hear you have had success with our team and distribution service. We understand the importance of user-friendly interfaces and are continuously working to improve the navigation and ease of use for our platform.

What do you like best about GlobeNewswire?

The improvements to the platform are noticable and I have helped several clients setup accounts in the recent years. The customer support team have been helpful in clarifying best reach options. There is a very broad database of press contacts which is obviously useful. Implementation of AI tools has started and I expect to see a evolution in this direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

There was some confusion in the communications realted to changes in branding and it created some uncertainty about the future service. This was addressed and well handled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobeNewswire solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main objective of using a PR platform is to minimize the amount of time spent on optimizing the dissemination of press releases. GlobeNewswire is perfect for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GlobeNewswire?

I have been impressed with the customer service thus far. I submitted a press release late one evening going into the weekend and it needed to be posted Monday morning. I was worried with it being the weekend they may not have time to review it and get any needed changes done before then. I was pleased that they actually called me in the evening, on a weekend and got it taken care of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

While the software is not overly difficult, its not the most user friendly program. It is navigatable and easy enough to figure out. Also im sure support would be happy to help with any confusion. I also dont have other programs to compare this to, so not saying anything in comparison to competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobeNewswire solving and how is that benefiting you?

It gets our Press Releases distributed publicly and on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GlobeNewswire?

I really enjoy how user-friendly GlobeNewswire is! The software is easy to use and readily provides options on how to amplify a release to garner even more visibility. I also appreciate how setting up a release is an easy process that only requires a few steps, but also ensures that all details are accounted for.

Additionally, I am always in awe of how your team goes above and beyond to help with any of my needs. Firstly, I appreciate how quickly your team contacts me to prepare for the distribution of a release. It is also rewarding to know that your representatives will always go over details prior to submission and are happy to make adjustments if needed. I'm especially grateful for our contact Audrey Cordell! She is always eager to help and quick to respond to any of my inquires. She's a pleasure to work with and i'm so glad I get to connect with her on a regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

There isn't anything I really dislike about GlobeNewswire. If I had to select an area of imporvement, it may be just to continue adding to your distribution circuits. You already have plenty of variety, but it is always beneficial to continue adding to the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobeNewswire solving and how is that benefiting you?

GlobeNewswire is helping our clients garner more visibility from the correct publications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GlobeNewswire?

The online system is great and is easy to use as it walks you through each step. The ability to have the release reviewed by a professional is a plus! They've caught a couple of errors in the past and have made some suggested sentence changes to make the release better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

There's been a few changes in "owners" of GN... keeping track of that and the websites has been interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GlobeNewswire?

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

One downside is the extensive setup and numerous settings required to establish a proper foundation for press releases. Without careful preparation, the reach may not be as effective as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GlobeNewswire provides a robust database of journalists, which simplifies the challenge of identifying the right media contacts.

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

Cision has other services some may want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobeNewswire solving and how is that benefiting you?

They handle distributions efficiently, easily and with outstanding 24-hour expert customer service. Portal for uploads is easy to use. Cost effective - reach is as good as more costly options. And they still actually proof press releases. I am only sorry I did not leave PR Newswire for Globe Newswire sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Ripley of GlobeNewswire

We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with GlobeNewswire! We strive to provide outstanding service and make the distribution process as efficient and cost-effective as possible. Thank you for choosing us for your press release needs.

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

The pricing seems ot be a bit off tune. One PR should be half the price as sometime companoes look for one cost cautious release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complex Distribution Processes: Managing the dissemination of press releases across various platforms can be cumbersome.

Lack of Performance Insights: Without proper analytics, it's difficult to measure the impact of press releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about GlobeNewswire?

I researched other wire distribution networks and found that GlobeNewswire has the farthest reach for news. My press releases go to more media outlets versus the other wire services. Plus, GlobeNewsWire offers bundled pricing for my clients who issue lots of press releases. These bundles are very cost-effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobeNewswire?

I am not sure where the distributions go - such as what states are covered in the Southeast region distribution? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobeNewswire solving and how is that benefiting you?

GlobeNewswire helps me get my clients' news across to the right journalists and media outlets. It is an easy-to-use product and guides me as to what to do next, such as keywords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
