Microsoft Bing News Search API Reviews & Product Details

That it is really easy to setup Bing news alerts. It can be done within 5 minutes and it also asks the time at which you would like to recieve the news pull which is really nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't like the extra lot of news that it provides , so it's like it will provide every news of the company and you will need to read through it and filter out which takes a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Bing News finds the TOP news by sending a search query to the Bing News Search API, and getting back a list of relevant news articles. You can narrow it down to certain categories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The worst thing about it is if you are not sure about the category then sometimes you will search a little longer for what you really need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Bing News Search has new features such as suggesting and using search terms and hence making it easy for searches.It also categorises news into different topics thus it simplifies the searches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search results does not offer a filter feature which helps in locating the specific information that one is looking for. Even though the news are divided into different topics, it makes it difficult to locate a specific news. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use BING just about all day, every day. I really like that I can plug in the information I need, which is usually searching for a nearby business or a person who has come to us as a prospective client. I LOVE the fact that I can get points for every search I make on the computer, and then to go on my iPhone and do the same thing on there. It is really useful.I am a sucker for information. I love to learn. Non-stop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't say that I really dislike much. I use it all day, every day..... Could probably say that I don't like NOT being able to find someone I'm looking for, and that's about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

pricing is very competitive compared to google etc, and it is easy to use and much cheaper than google etc. Mailchimp, and other SEO and marketing lead tools for tracking inbound leads etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it does not have the SEO or audience capabilities of Google Analytics or Mail Chimp, also it lacks the audience and global capture like Google does, additionally it is not as easy to use or delightful compared to google analytics and mailchimp in terms of uses for reports and high level c-suite reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overview sections provide nice variety without having to search for specific terms, so I can browse through and learn about topics I normally wouldn't search for. I also like that they have a specific section for local news. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not my search engine of choice; local news selections tend to be a bit out of date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I use Bing News Search, I have always received accurate and updated information from reliable sources. I love the feature to be able of selecting your interests as any news topics are updated. The ability to have your news search preferences and search history topics automatically appear on the home page once the browser is opened. The benefits and features offered to Users that join the Bing Reward Program, receives extra credit points for using Bing News Search. The credit points given to the User are more than a regular Bing Search. I like that the credit points earned, can be used towards rewards, shopping, gift cards, etc. The User's Bing News Search is effectively personalized immediately according to the search history of news topics and interests of previous searchs.

There are times I have found contradictory news, depending on the topic. I dislike that old news still remains in some instances too close to the updated news,, or within the same section on the home page.

Which causes confusion of thoughts and judgements of decisions of a source's reliability.This sometimes occurs from unknown reliable sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very simple and easy to use. It's also very easy to filter to exactly what you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are times when old news may appear , although overall there is not much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use filtering and sorting options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I felt like not all news articles on a given subject would show up in search results. The results were also not prioritized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since it’s a Microsoft product, it makes it easy to integrate and develop if you are familiar with MIcrosoft code. Since most office products use MS it also makes it easy to integrate into everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What makes it good also makes it bad....it’s a Microsoft product so it’s easy but also not very robust and is limited in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
