Onclusive Reviews & Product Details

I have been a user of Critical Mention for media monitoring for more than five years. Despite trying other services like Cision and Meltwater, Critical Mention has remained my go-to service. Their customer service is fantastic - they respond to support inquiries quickly but do not hound you for meetings that will waste your time.

The product makes it easy to track media mentions from broadcast, print/digital and even paid sources using LexisNexis. The Wordplay feature is great, as it allows you to edit broadcast clips to specific areas to include your entire mention. Reporting is also a great feature, and users can create customized reports and analytics for different purposes.

Our team uses Critical Mention daily to check on our media mentions and save clips to reports. We're also able to share mentions with our leadership team, which helps us demonstrate the work our team is doing. The product continues to improve, and it remains my top choice for media monitoring.

The only downside of Critical Mention is that there is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to utilizing the Wordplay feature, but I wouldn't consider it difficult.

Occasionally, mentions are missed because the source isn't tracked, but Critical Mention does allow users to submit new sources to follow.

The contact/outlet database isn't always accurate but can still be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By far, the best part of using Onclusive is the way in which the platform allows us to track and monitor media mentions across online and broadcast. Many competitors struggle to incorporate broadcast mentions alongside the easier-to-track online mentions, but having it all under one umbrella is crucial for our analysis – particularly during an era in which many TV/radio stations are scaling back publishing online stories to accompany all of their broadcast material. Customer support is extremely responsive. We use Onclusive every single day in order to build our news summaries and report on our earned media impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The media contacts database could be updated more frequently, as job turnover within journalism is higher than ever. I would also like to see an iPhone app version down the line -- the web-based version of the platform is not super easy to navigate on a phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We primarily have experience with Onclusive through their CriticalMention media monitoring services. We enjoy their ability to capture a wide range of media mentions, from social media to actual press hits, especially in global territories where we operate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The CriticalMention platform is not always the most intuitive or easy to use from a user experience perspective. We think it could do with a refreshed UX that makes navigation, sorting, and reporting more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Onclusive/Critical Mention provides comprehensive media monitoring services. We evaluated several services before ultimately selecting them because of the ease of use, user friendly searches and dashboard, competive pricing and the great reporting tools. One thing to note about the reporting tools - the reports are customizable and easily shared via a live link that updates as clips are added, which is a nice benefit.

Everyone I've worked with through Onclusive's products and services has been extremely helpful and invested in making sure I get the most out of the tools we've subscribed to. Additionally, the pricing on their products is very competitive and reasonable, without worrying about being "nickel and dimed" with add-ons. Finally, the products themselves are user friendly and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, Critical Mention may not pull all media coverage. However, these are isolated incidents typically and we have a customer support person who can add them for us. You also have the option to manually add any online coverage on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
