The ability to build complex, custom queries, and tweak these easily without having to start from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some important features are hidden in drop-downs or carrots, so new users might take some time to get up and running. In some cases, customer servie is difficult to get in touch with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are many features that I love about the Newsdesk, which I have been using for the last year.
Accessibility of a large number of free and paid sources (If not available, we can also request the team to add the sources)
User-friendly interface,
Great algorithm for harvesting the articles,
the flexibility of using the search strings, and
Finally, great people who can customer support on a timely basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Couple of things that Newsdesk can improve on:
1. Tool has to categorize the country name depending on the context of the article. Eg: If the article is talking about Economic reforms in India and the article is published in ICIS. The tool mentions the source country of the article which is either London or Singapore. However, the article supposed to be categorized under India.
2. The tool should provided an option to eliminate the images from articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's pretty easy to build complex searches, and the information provided by the service is always the latest available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The system could probably do a better job of removing duplicates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
LexisNexis Newsdesk is a user friendly software that is simple and easy to set up. It is used to do searches or to collect information. By using specific keywords a wide range of options appear and you can also search things from a specific time period. I used it to locate positive and negative articles about a business. It made work a lot easier and i cannot imagine doing research without it. The customer service was the best i saw and they were friendly while being professional. The interface design is also smooth. By using it numberless articles can be searched and the search engine is really good. Every source of news that you need is present at one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In LexisNexis Newsdesk many search results are repeated and the database is just not for me it doesn't work according to my needs. It is expensive as compared to its working and i think if they cut down the price a little bit it will be a perfect software. In visualizing data there are charts and graphs which are hard to read if you dont have a background knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use, user-friendly interface, information presented in a clear and functional design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can be cost prohibitive for smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the reliability and accreditation of this brand! I have been a long time LexisNexis user for legal purposes, but now that I am in the field of marketing, I have something similar to rely on. Spotting trends quickly and keeping up on competitors is so simple with this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downsides of using this program is that there are alot of graphs and charts involved when reading data. If you are not a visual person, this is unhelpful and not useful as much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The news monitoring is excellent. My favorite part is that I receive daily alerts and LexisNexis provides licensed content as well, so I know I am receiving all of the content. There's also unlimited search, sources, and geographies. It also sends everything in real time, unlike other services like Meltwater. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a little tricky to use. I wish it were more user-friendly. It was difficult for me to figure out how to set up my alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like this because it is more focused than competitors on legal issues. I do not know how useful this would be to people outside of the legal field or recruiting, but this within these fields this source is amazing! Unlike something like Google alerts, you can actually use this to analyze results and keep better "tabs" on whatever issue you are looking into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that it is not included with other Lexis packaging and it is an add-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software's ability to combine and efficiently relay information via social media Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is great when with current social media but lags a bit in past social media content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
