Cision vs Omnisend: Which is a better fit?

Heather: My name is Heather, I'm the director of communications, and I give Cision a five. For more reviews like this, click below. In my industry, I work a lot with the media. So on a day-to-day basis, I'm looking up media contact information and pitching new journalists. So I need to know how to get ahold of them. And Cision allows me to do just that. So it is an easy database where I can look up media contacts, and also find out how they like to be reached. A lot of times that information isn't public. So I can scour the internet and I won't be able to find their email or their phone number. What I like most about Cision is that there are so many different functionalities. You can do easy media context searches, you can build media lists, and you can even find social media influencers. So these are things that you wouldn't otherwise be able to find just through a Google search. With Cision, because there are so many functionalities, it can be very daunting. The good news is they have a great training tool and a platform where you can learn about all its levels of functionality. It can be very complex and there are lots of layers.

Trevor A.: Hi, my name's Trevor. I'm the owner of Agency and I give Omnisend five out of five stars. So we've used all kinds of email marketing software, anything from MailChimp back in the day to ActiveCampaign, Emma, Klaviyo, you name it. I mean, pretty much any email program out there, we've used and yeah, it was always an issue, whether it was budgeting with clients and budgets not fitting in with what these offerings were on these different platforms. A lot of them just had lack of something, whether it was custom emails, just ways to customize and ways to engage with our audience. So the biggest reason why we went with Omnisend, one, it kind of checked all the boxes that we needed. It integrated with Shopify. It kind of did everything that we needed it to do. Automated emails, sending special emails with different flow capabilities was extremely important. But I think the biggest thing was the price. We were able to save hundreds of dollars for our clients just by switching them over to Omnisend. The onboarding process with Omnisend was extremely simple. It's just a few simple clicks. If you do need help, they have a support team there to help guide you and walk you through it or if you needed even further help, they have someone who could literally set it up for you. So the setup process was extremely painless. I personally feel that you can't go wrong with Omnisend. Like I said, it checks off all the boxes. It does everything that any competing product that you see out there does. Omnisend does it just as well. I think they have amazing customer service. So if you have any questions while you're in their platform, they have live help with a live person who will help guide you and if they don't know the answer, they will find the answer for you. I think that's a huge thing. Coming from a competitor, for a couple of our clients, there was zero support. They just direct you to the help center and when you have a really technical question, it's hard. The help center doesn't help you in that way. So I think, one, the pricing, you can't go wrong with it. It's the best pricing that we've found out there in terms of what it's capable of doing and then, two, that live support and just knowing that I have someone that I can speak to, a real human is very important.
