I primarily use Comscore Xmedia for clients on a day to day basis since it is best for cross channel. SEM Rush is more for paid search efforts.
Chose Comscore Media Metrix Multi-Platform
comScore Xmedia is by far the most granular and local offering. Google Analytics is a solid supplemental to the real campaign data you glean from comScore and SimilarWeb presents a nice high-level picture of the total viewership from a recurring or historical perspective.

The ability to drill-down locally is incredibly insightful. As mobile and other channels continue to improve, so has the platform and its accompanying reporting features. Data could be released in a more timely fashion so the numbers are more current and in-line with real-time viewership.

  • Allows users to measure a total audience views across multiple platforms, and take those platform-specific views and convert them into a single, translatable metric.
  • The platform presents the data so that a user is not only looking and inferring action or viewership across multiple platforms but through a single identifier that clarifies or makes sense of that cross-channel data.
  • Allows you to slice up a single campaign and surmise how it will perform across various subsets of media.

Usability
It's a good product, it has a lot of functionalities, and the information is accurate. However, it could be easier to use, particularly the Excel formulas such as BQL. The third-party research functionalities are also a bit slow and difficult to search for when using keyword search.

Visible Alpha and AlphaSense are better for fundamental research of publicly listed companies. The Visible Alpha Excel plug-in is easy to use, the financial KPIs are easy to find, and there's a long historical data availability. Whereas the AlphaSense AI functionality is incredibly useful when researching companies because it allows for searches in broker research and regulatory filings using AI.
