What do you like best about Meltwater?

The user experience is so good, it´s intuitive, and working with social listening is easy for everyone includes people without experience in data. I used other tools for this work and meltwater is one of the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meltwater?

I think that maybe could be better if the social listening can read the APIS from Facebook and Instagram. I know that is hard to do that but if this could be possible I can use the tool for all mi work and isn't necessary to switch with different tools to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meltwater:

Practicing different ways to use the tool is fantastic and you can do whatever you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hahaha ive been talking about this in the 2 questions before. I'm using this tool to work in social listening in different brands and this is important to create new ideas based on what people think about the product or brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meltwater?

I absolutely love that with Meltwater I have the most updated database of reporters covering my issue. Emailing reporters is easy and organizing my list by beat is so practical. Through the years we've continued to add on services that Meltwater offers and have been so pleased. We use Meltwater for EVERYTHING! Newswire distribution, social media, and more recently all-media tracking. I also really like the great customer service when we have a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meltwater?

I think the APP is not useful. I wish I can make necessary edits (especially for social media) in a more efficient manner. We don't use the APP -wish Meltwater would make that product offering better. I also wish they had a service to email subscribers as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meltwater:

Take advantage of the classes Meltwater offers to learn to use the system to its full capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Finding reporters that are covering our issues, our staff, and our cases has been a time saver! We've been able to build relationships with reporters that would have been very difficult. Like finding a needle in a haystack. The benefit of having all my PR tools in one place is fantastic! I also like the impact reports and dashboards. These help us see how we are stacking up against the competition and how we one year compared to the following for reporting purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meltwater?

Their team is incredible, will be there for you right away if you have any questions, and will help with anything you need added to your team's accounts! Meltwater's competitors don't have nearly the same level of care and communication with their clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meltwater?

I wouldn't say I particularly dislike anything about Meltwater. It's taking some getting used to, but that comes with the territory of switching software. I know I'll be a pro in no time with the help of their excellent team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meltwater:

Make sure to use all of the meetings they offer and join their Slack channel! They're constantly sending social updates that are super helpful, so stay tuned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Meltwater is helping us concentrate our social analytics tools into one place. Before, we'd use Tagger and Sprout for a lot of social reporting. But Meltwater has all of the tools they both had, and more! I love that we can see conversations surrounding specific topics we're looking for, and it even lets us know if the general online discussions are positive or negative. So cool!

What do you like best about Meltwater?

Meltwaters ability to pull together data from so many different areas and present it in one easy to understand place with clearly labelled metrics. Their onboarding process is slick and professional too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meltwater?

Sometimes, understanding the booleans and troubleshooting what is wrong with your boolean can be quite difficult, especially if you have colleagues who aren't technical trying to use the platform, but the live chat and help functions are more than adequate for solving the issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meltwater:

Make sure you take advantage of the stellar onboarding program and helpful staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've managed to solve our lack of foresight on regulatory issues. The regulator for our industry often posts online and usually one person has to comb through their accounts to get what has been happening, Meltwater puts this all in one area and tells us which posts are being noticed too.
