Customer service is great, and the price is worth it. I love using this product, and hopefully it will give me even more options in the future to get my company out there.
Overall we are very unhappy with PR Newswire. We won't be using it again, not after this first bad first impression.
I worked with Vocus for years and loved it. They had a massive, easy-to-search database, great integration and awesome customer service.
Horrifically bad value for money - our worst software purchase of 2017.
It's very comprehensive and has great customer support. You actually get an account manager which is helpful when you are first setting yourself up on the platform.
We sent out a first press release and the results were terrible.
It has always been 'on top of things. I always felt it was innovative and did a good job of gathering media data.
I'm so disappointed with all of the people I've encountered at Cision over the past 18 months.
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.
