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

One of the remarkable features it offers is the empowerment to extract an unlimited amount of data, thereby furnishing an expansive scope for data retrieval. Additionally, a noteworthy aspect that I find particularly appealing is its user-friendly interface for employing boolean keywords. This characteristic not only enhances the user experience but also streamlines the process of refining searches and obtaining precise results. In this manner, the platform manages to strike an impressive balance between its formidable data extraction capabilities and its accessible means of query formulation through boolean keywords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meltwater?

It possesses the limitation of being unable to retain data coverage over extended periods of time, thus impeding its capability to archive historical data effectively. This constraint is further exacerbated by its inherent restriction, permitting the capture and storage of a mere 15 instances of historical data. Consequently, the system's capacity to preserve and reflect upon a comprehensive historical context remains restricted, largely due to its incapacity to accumulate and maintain a broader scope of historical information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Its utility extends to aiding us in the identification of crises that may be instigated by the online community, providing valuable insights into the sentiments and opinions expressed about our company, upcoming shows, as well as the diverse spectrum of artists, celebrities, and influencers associated with our endeavors. Through its capabilities, we are afforded the advantage of discerning prevailing public sentiments, gauging reactions, and comprehending the overall online discourse surrounding these subjects. This comprehensive approach to monitoring not only enables us to proactively address potential issues but also empowers us with a deeper understanding of the multifaceted dynamics that influence our online presence and reputation.

What do you dislike about Meltwater?

What do you like best about Meltwater?

Clips searches are fantastic and the monitoring service is nearly instantaneous in terms of reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meltwater?

Sometimes when searching for contacts from smaller media outlets the results are inaccurate. Also, the article sentiment is often inaccurate just because in PR we have an embedded point of view, so a positive article for someone else may be negative for us, so this feature isn't really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a fantastic service overall and makes my life as a consultant infinitely easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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