The set-up is simple and the solution is in-depth in terms of what marketers need. > > **Cons**: Can be pricey. But if you are willing to invest in the technology, it is def. good value for money. Great ROI. > > I have been a user for 2 years now and it amazes me how much data it can pull for my brands. ----- ### "Powerful but less relevant" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 December 2021* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Useful database of media contacts, very helpful in identifying key contacts as we moved into new markets. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately, with the changing landscape of journalism and the disappearance of "beat" reporters, the usefulness of the product decreased for us. ----- ### "I want to like it" — 3.0/5 > **Heather** | *18 December 2019* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The HARO subscription that comes with this product is incredibly handy. The contact database is useful, especially when I was trying to find blogs willing to review a new product. > > **Cons**: The search felt a little cumbersome at times, and I've come across some outdated data. It's very labor intensive to sift through to find valuable contacts and establish a rapport with them. The software doesn't replace a PR professional with solid industry contacts. It bothers me that I can't set up my own listening devices and had to reach out to our rep any time I wanted to make a change. I've yet to come across anything in their that didn't pop up on other alerts I have set up in other platforms, so that piece of the software felt redundant for me. > > I was actually the person who convinced my boss to purchase Cision for a start-up I was at in 2018. It was helpful, but I'm not sure if it was entirely worth the expense. In part, it was because I didn't have buy-in from necessary stakeholders and there was a significant time investment to sifting through to find contacts. In my current position, I inherited Cision from a predecessor. Again, I feel the money could be better spent elsewhere. Again, it's probably because less the platforms fault and more because we don't have the internal resources to fully dedicate to PR. I've always found the customer service there to be incredibly friendly and helpful. ----- ### "The megaphone your press release needs." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 June 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to live track press releases is a huge deal and presented in a clean easy to use dashboard. During setup, it's extremely easy to set up exactly what you want. A member of the team will call you to confirm that everything is exactly what you want before going live. The direct connection they have to massive news outlets makes this a crucial tool for press releases. > > **Cons**: If you need a more defined and niche audience to be reached, the price could almost triple in some points. Which makes it unrealistic in most cases. > > If you are needing to distribute your press releases to a wide spread audience, this is easily the number one way to do so. With an easy to use dashboard, their massive connections, and fantastic customer service. ----- ### "Makes PR work easier than ever" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 May 2018* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used this when i interned in the PR world. It made my job SO much easier. The searches are effortless and it brings you right to the contact information that you need. > > **Cons**: Sometimes you can be searching for a blogger or media outlet with a very general name and have to pick through to find the right one. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/100653/cision?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/100653/cision) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
