What do you like best about Meltwater?

I liked the fact that the Meltwater support team is very approachable. They are fast in their communication and offer great support. I also really like the fact that Ingrid and James are strategically very involved, they are open to meet about any topic, and share strategic feedback for our clients which was of great value. I am working with Ingrid a lot, and it's a big pleasure working with her. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meltwater?

Overall I am very happy with the cooperation with Meltwater, especially on a service level. Regarding expectation management towards our client, it's sometimes been a challenge. As the paid reports via our tooling were (after hard work) not meeting the client's expectations in the end and this was what the client wanted to have in the end. However Meltwater pushed this and gave everything to help us trying to reach these goals. I appreciated that other opportunities were always looked into and presented, and Meltwater supported me in keeping our client happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meltwater:

If you want to work with an experienced team, that offers great support and really thinks a long with you on a strategic level, Meltwater is your partner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I teamed up with Meltwater to meet our clients' wishes for reporting and governance via tooling. They also supported me in strategy-related issues for the client too, which was something extra, which I appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meltwater?

The thing I like best about Meltwater is the platform's usability. As a public relations professional, every day is spent researching and finding contact information for the latest press send, and Meltwater allows you to intuitively build reporter lists that are finely tuned to your subject matter. If there's one thing I've learned about reporters, it's that they don't like to receive irrelevant press releases, so to be confident in who we're targeting with our sends is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meltwater?

Despite the platform being easy to navigate, it still has a few kinks that force you to be creative when using it. One of those is the "beat" filtered search tool. When trying to eliminate reporters that aren't relevant to the topic of your press send and separating by beat, it generates a list of reporters that all list that beat. Unfortunately, Meltwater does not have a way to pick beats you want to exclude. It would help if there was a feature to keep the reporters narrowly focused on the beat of interest and adjacent beats, but remove reporters whose beat breadth is much broader and not of interest for your reporter list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My everyday day-to-day work is almost entirely accomplished on Meltwater. It is vital to have an all-in-one platform where you can compose press sends, build reporter lists to send to, and then collect reports on coverage of your work. I'm not sure what we would do if we didn't have Meltwater, as it would require us to be on multiple platforms and constantly transferring information between them. Instead, we have a one-stop shop that make each day more seamless and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
