### "Making a big difference to our team"

October 1, 2019

5.0

We were using spreadsheets to track enquiries and Word tables for lists of contacts - it wasn't the most efficient system! From the demo stage right through procurement and training, to implementation, our experience with PRGloo has been superb. It allows our team to work better; whether it's tracking conversations with journalists, managing reactive issues, or managing our news hub. Any queries we've had have been quickly resolved and everyone we've dealt with has been incredibly helpful and efficient.

Pros

It's simple yet powerful, easy to use and works really well for us. We're able to track our conversations with the media easily and see what colleagues are working on at a glance.

Cons

We've had a little confusion over topics, themes and tags within PRGloo, but that's more teething troubles on our part. Once we dig deeper into reporting and use it for longer, we're confident of ironing this out.

Please let us know how you get on with topics, tags and themes, and we'll happily provide any additional support to help you iron out any problems.

### "GEO Review"

October 2, 2019

5.0

Pros

The software is accessible and easy to use, ensuring you can easily view and log calls. The option to collectively group statements under a heading is also very useful, helping you easily see how a subject has evolved every time you have taken a call.

Cons

The database of journalists can be lacking in individual details for journalists when compared to rivals, it is however useful that you can update it yourself once you have those details.

Reason for choosing PRgloo

Price, easy of access, friendly service from rep

Review Source

Response from PRgloo

October 9, 2019

Thanks for taking the time to review PRgloo. We're glad you and your team are enjoying using the platform. Our database has over 70,000 entries of journalists and news organisations. On a daily basis the team look at distribution issues, social media changes, social media errors and customer requests. Our highest priority is ensuing the platform is GDPR compliant. In some cases, journalists have requested they not be including in database lists and therefore we are unable to include those contacts. However, we are aware that many of our customers have great relationships with journalists so we do make it very easy for you to store this information on any record we hold. We'd be happy to show you how to do this and also how to make the best use of our research team who are there to support you in locating the best contacts for your campaigns.

### "Good software package for what we want"

August 4, 2020

4.0

Very good. Overall we're very pleased with it. It helps us put together reports for our Executive Board

Pros

I like the ease in being able to link cuttings with statements/releases I like the extensive contacts data base I like being able to set up separate groups to send information out to

Cons

I'd like to be able to know which of our contacts have opened/read things we've sent to them

### "Simple and straight forward"

August 14, 2019

5.0

It allows us to store and monitor our press enquiries in one place, plus easy access to approved statements.

Pros

It's easy on the eye, simple to use and adaptable to meet our needs as an organisation.

Cons

It would good if you could hide some of the fields, to make the conversation form much simpler.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing PRgloo

I can't remember who else I looked at but PRGloo were the only ones who could offer specific press enquiry reporting

Switched from

[Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/)

Dynamics is slow, cumbersome and reporting is extremely rescrticted, almost absent entirely. It detered the team from logigng media enquiries. Plus journalists and outlets had to be added and maintained by ourselves.

### "Super impressed "

October 12, 2020

5.0

We've had a great experience with PRgloo and would not hesitate in recommending them. I particularly like the functionality of the site, its is very easy to navigate.

Pros

I've been really impressed with PRgloo, particularly the ease of managing contacts and distributing press releases. The customer service has been outstanding, and someone has been on-hand to support even out of regular office hours.

Cons

Not every contact we search for is in the system, but as with all media databases this data is constantly evolving

Switched from

[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/)

We switched from Cision and MailChimp. We were disappointed with the customer service from Cision, and had frustrations with MailChimp with the lack of support and not being able to send press releases to more than one list as a time.

### "Best system of its kind that I've ever used!"

May 5, 2021

5.0

PRGloo has saved the whole team a lot of time and resource. We are able to distribute our news more widely which is very important to any organisation in reaching key audiences with information. It has helped to further improved our reputation and build relations with stakeholders. All media enquiries are held on the system and members of the team can easily see progress and pick up any work if needed. Overall PRGloo has made a massive difference to us, we couldn't imagine being without it!

Pros

It is hard to pick one thing because I like everything about it. I can say that PRGloo is hands down the best media distribution and logging system that I've used during my 20 years in public relations. It is easy to see where we are with the latest press enquiry, to write and distribute press releases widely and we're able to publish blogs and press releases hosted by PRGloo. It has so much functionality, and the team there have tailored it to our needs. PRGloo enables us to easily analyse media coverage, giving us the ability to present it to senior management team regularly and to keep others updated. PRGloo is incredibly ease to use and although we had full training it is very simple to show new starters how to use it for themselves. The customer service is great, the team are friendly and always happy to help. It has made a big difference to everyday working and I couldn't speak more highly of it.

Cons

There was nothing at all that I didn't like.

### "If PRgloo isn't the answer, you're probably asking the wrong question!"

January 22, 2020

5.0

The integration between our back office system and frontline newsroom has breathed new life into our PR function and, as 2020 progresses we will absolutely be looking to enhance this and exploit every bit of functionality.

Pros

The software is intuitive, well presented and, best of all, just works. It's not got bells and whistles for the sake of it - there are other providers who technically offer more (beware, showy doesn't necessarily mean better) - PRgloo is clean and lean and the delivery is faultless. Plus, and here's the rub, the aftercare is second to none. Nothing is too big, or too small, for the team to deal with and the personal service and lightning quick response times are simply outstanding.

Cons

Honestly, this is a struggle. There's nothing not to like, but there are some tweaks that could deliver a few enhancements such as task allocation to team members and direct publication to social media from press releases/statements. Having said that, knowing the guys at PRgloo, they're probably working on this - or it already exists and I've not noticed it!

January 28, 2020

Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you are enjoying using our easy to use platform. The newsroom functionality has been a hit with many of our clients and we can't wait to see how you use it in the future. We will be in touch to discuss direct publication options and task allocation! As you know we like to provide solutions wherever possible!

### "New media relations platform"

January 15, 2021

4.0

All in all, a great platform for all things related to external communications for a big organisation. We're really pleased we made the move and are slowly getting our heads around its potential. We have found that it was difficult for us all to be trained on such a piece of software, as we're all still working from home and not able to use our usual peer to peer support to help iron out some of the issues we have faced. That said, we couldn't have done anything differently under the circumstances and we are hugely grateful to have a licence extension until June.

Pros

We like the look and fresh feel of the site, it is easy to navigate and assign enquiries to the team. Allows quick and easy communication with journalists, pulling off reports for analysis and tagging of coverage to show impact of work completed. Coverage collected from RSS feeds – easy to assign to releases, topics or conversations.

Cons

Some of the language used is not intuitive (e.g. why aren't conversations called enquiries) but I'm sure this will iron itself out after more use. We are so used to Vuelio's labels that this is a big jump away from that and I have found it like learning a new language. At login screen it would be helpful to be able to see passwords are correct before pressing enter.

Review Source

Response from PRgloo

January 22, 2021

Welcome to PRgloo! Thanks for the feedback, we're thrilled that you are enjoying using the new platform. We're looking at whether we can have an option to change terminology for labels. We do have single sign on options for your password which means you don't need to remember it. We will however look at the security implications of adding a view password feature. We hope you enjoy getting to use the platform to its full potential.

### "The only communications tool you need!"

August 6, 2019

5.0

Excellent. All queries are saved in the one place allowing easy access to historic entries and new ones. Colleagues in the other side of the country can easily find responses that you have written previously.

Pros

This is a great, easy to use tool that is intuitive and fun to use. The team behind PRGloo are always there to help and will regularly take on suggestions for improvements and implement them in a timely manner- making them available to all clients at no extra cost. The software provides a single place to record all of your interactions with a range of different audiences (eg journalists and stakeholders) allowing you to search and find queries easily.

Cons

Honestly can’t think of anything. Love it all!

### "Slick Software "

December 7, 2020

5.0

Saving time and resources. More press coverage and dialogue with journalists.

Pros

The attractiveness and professional look of the press releases is a huge factor in using this software. The individual press release page can be made to look how you want- with embedded videos, quotes and links. You can 'test email' the press release to see how it appears in the inbox before sending. We love that you can brand the press releases with your company colours. The customer service is swift and professional, with regular check ins and updates to help user imporvement. - Specifically during tight press release deadlines a member of the PRGloo team has been on hand to help. The ability to build targeted lists of relevant press contacts is the most important feature, the PR Gloo team also help build 'SMART Lists' pulling in relevant contacts automatically. The reporting tool is an added bonus, where you can log your press coverage and download the data to present to boards/ management. Overall, it is a very slick piece of software which has saved the company time and resource.

Cons

It would be good to be able to improve our own boilerplates and adjust our brand colours without instructing the customer service team.

### "Intuitive platform -"

August 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

This is a great platform which allows busy corporate communications teams and PR agencies to keep track of their engagement with a plethora of stakeholders. I've used it in multiple roles and every team I've ever worked in has found it to be an intuitive platform which saves time and avoids duplicated effort.

Cons

There are nothing to write here - it's a great product.

### "Our switch to PRgloo"

August 6, 2019

5.0

I've enjoyed PRgloo and my first impressions are very strong!

Pros

We found the interface to be simple to use and a lot more user friendly. This helped us encourage the team to log all media enquiries and statements. The search function is much better than what we were using before and we also feel the ability to attach photos to releases and store them long-term will be a helpful time saving measure.

Cons

The topics often overlap and it would be sensible to have a simpler way to check and make sure this isn't happening

Thanks for the feedback - we're so glad you've had a great first impression! We're particularly pleased you've liked the simplicity of the platform and the search function. We'll be in touch shortly to discuss topics! In the meantime keep enjoying logging all those enquiries and statements.

April 28, 2021

5.0

Pros

Due to internal issues, it's taken us a while to implement PRgloo. However, throughout the process, PRgloo couldn't have been more helpful and reactive in responding to our requests for help. They have consistently worked collaboratively with us to onboard the software and gain internal approvals.

Cons

Integration has been tough, but that is wholly down to our internal processes and not PRgloo.

For our team, PRgloo is an incredibly easy way for everyone to have oversight of past and ongoing discussions with the media, which is especially useful when something comes up out of hours. We can also use it to report back on team activities and progress to our internal stakeholders, with all the reports, graphs and summaries which are instantly available.

The PRgloo team impressed me from the start. They gave me a clear and honest pitch on what the product can do and how it works. We had a really useful training session and we all find the software really easy to use. The support from the PRgloo team has been consistently excellent.

Pros

It's very easy to use. The database of influencers is really useful and is easy to search for new people who are likely to be interested in your content. The company listens to its customers and is always improving their product. The customer support is excellent: fast and friendly.

Pros

The system is easy to use and navigate with media inquiries and responses saved in one place. This makes them simple to manage and accessible to team members working in different locations.

Pros

The strongest element of this software is its ease of use and capability to search, log, publish and report. Other benefits that have helped us are round-the-clock support, mobile compatibility and ease of training for new staff.

### "A good platform!"

August 6, 2019

4.0

Overall, PR Gloo is simple to use and beneficial to the team. We are looking at how we can maximise full use of the platform. The incompatibility of IT infrastructure with the platform for some tasks is an issue we are working on.

Pros

The database of contacts which can be updated easily. The statements and news release function. Regional media targeting. The ability to autoforward email queries straight to PR Gloo so everything is in one place and tracked.

Cons

Importing a large group of contacts to the platform from adhoc lists seems difficult.

Excellent platform for supporting effective communications across teams.

Pros

September 17, 2019

4.0

Pros

The interface is fairly intuitive and easy to handle and adds a high degree of flexibility and specificity to our media and PR activity.

Cons

Some of the influencer management is a bit tricky (for example being able to select influencers from within a group, without having to type in their names individually, would be good)

September 18, 2019

Thanks for the feedback! We're glad PRgloo is providing your team with a solid base for your daily work. The influencer management grouping is indeed possible! We'll be in touch to show you how to make best use of this functionality.
