### "Easy to navigate, helpful platform "

November 28, 2025

4.0

Good, I have been a user of Roxhill for some years now at my current agency and my previous agency after we switched to Roxhill from Gorkana due to improved user experience and better value for money.

Pros

Easy to navigate, the media updates on the homepage are very timely and helpful. The newsletters are also useful.

Cons

The fact that the database is quite UK centric, although aware that the platform is working on building out wider than this.

### "It's going well so far "

December 17, 2025

5.0

So far it's been a brilliant experience. The Roxhill team is responsive and is working hard to ensure we have a good experience.

Pros

Managing media distribution and media monitoring in the same platform makes admin tasks easier for our team and gives us additional insight we couldn't get from other platforms.

Cons

As always when moving media monitoring services it takes a while for the searches to be completely accurate so coverage is being missed, but as refinements are made I'm confident this will improve.

The journalist insight and reporting is more aligned to what we need. Also the ability to track coverage related to press releases distributed.

March 30, 2022

Pros

Biographies, article examples, webinars and detail on media outlets' requirements

Search functionality could be improved if you could search for subjects in Quick Search. We can always find what we need though.

### "Excellent software and service"

February 2, 2022

5.0

Roxhill is an outstanding company - from the software itself to the team behind it. I can't fault it!

Pros

The most sophisticated media database out there Intuitive to use Always functioning Great list functions Amazing customer service

Cons

At times it is a little slow but I think that's more to do with internet speeds!

Switched from

[Cision](https://www.capterra.com/p/129611/Cision/)

Cision was often missing journalists, lacking the customer service level we experienced with Roxhill, not as intuitive.

### "A very effective media database solution"

March 18, 2022

4.0

Overall, we have had a very positive experience with Roxhill. The client support team is excellent and very responsive to any issues or questions we raise. Also, the added value of sector-specific newsletters, opportunities to pitch to journalists and guides to different publications is greatly appreciated and has a tangible positive impact on our work. We would certainly recommend Roxhill.

Pros

I use the 'Search' and 'Distribution' functions daily to locate journalists' contact details and send out press releases to multiple journalists. The ability to filter by numerous categories makes the Search function of particular use for an agency working across multiple sectors. Additionally, the inclusion of journalists and outlets across a very wide variety of topics, sectors and countries distinguishes Roxhill from other media contact databases. The Distribution function is especially useful for mailing press releases to a large audience effectively and allows for the inclusion of images and formatted text. When the press release has been sent, the statistics dashboard for the campaign is great for understanding how many recipients interacted with the press release.

Cons

While I find Roxhill easy to use most of the time, on occasion the platform can be slow to load despite having a strong internet connection. This can slow down my work which, when working to a deadline or dealing with a time-sensitive item, is unhelpful. The design and UI/UX experience of the platform could also be enhanced to further improve its usability and make it more intuitive.

### "Easy to use with nice additional benefits"

April 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

The webinars and journalist alerts are really helpful and mean I can begin PR/journo relationships with background information and knowledge.

Cons

I sometimes feel the search function is a bit counter-intuitative. For example, I may search for editors at Food & Drink titles and only return two results, whereas I know there are many more. Also, I would benefit from more academic titles/journals being added to the database.

### "Great software "

March 30, 2022

We have had a great experience with Roxhill, I use it daily and its great for forming media lists and information about the publications we are achieving coverage in.

Pros

I find the search tools great and effective to use.

Cons

I think that the email addresses could be updated more regularly and get an alert when they are so we can update media lists

### "Limited ability to search by subject"

February 3, 2022

3.0

Pros

The availability of tier one journos and business trade outlet journos.

Cons

I think we need to be able to search by more common sub-sections in website such as culture and more. There is less of a variety of journalists for such subjects. We also need more regional journalists.

Overall a good experience

Pros

I like the ease of the creating lists and streams, as well as the ease of sending bulk emails with the personalisation in the intros.

Cons

I don't like that you can't add attachments to your emails, particularly as we're for books and want to send early text to journos.
