    Wire press release distribution is often a luxury purchase, especially at the price point. In my experience Cision acts as if it's destined to win everyone's business just because of its name. Too often we've found ourselves being turned off by the arrogance and taking our business (and our clients' business) to alternative companies that are happy to have us.

    You can use it in a manufacturing environment or a software business in an office where environmental impact is less visible. We have regulators who require detailed data reporting. This system helps us meet that need. As the organisation is large with global operations, it is necessary to have a single system for the data. The concept of a carbon footprint is difficult to quantify but this platform helps visualise it and outputs data that can be reported. It is also an obvious choice where a company is already using some SAP ecosystem products because it integrates. It may be overkill for smaller companies with lightweight reporting needs. I also feel that the data you feed the system is crucial to get quality reports.

    Pros
    Cision
    • PRWeb is fairly easy to use to issue press releases. They have a review process that will look over your release before submission although this review is not going to catch spelling and grammatical errors.
    • I've seen our press releases posted on industry relevant websites thanks to the reach that PRWeb provided us.
    • Although I never used it because we subscribed to a different service, PRWeb allows you to create and send email blasts within their OutMarket marketing platform.
    • I enjoy the ability to add a quote call out in the release.
    • I also like that images or videos can be added to the release.

    • Provides a visual representation of inputs and outputs for things like transport and energy use
    • Complex intonation is displayed in a clear UI graphically
    • The tool is flexible so we tailor it to our different internal structures
    • Integrates well with the SAP product suite and the commonality makes this a straightforward switch.

    Cons
    Cision
    • Increasing the volume of media that can receive communication would help - going from 5,000 to 7,500 or 10,000 would be a massive help.
    • Providing a social media platform in which to send out either X posts, LinkedIn, and Facebook posts to media as an alternative communication would help
    • Increasing the number of podcasters and there contact details would help.

    We are unlikely to renew PRWeb because I feel that the costs outweigh the benefits of the service. For a company like ours (small business with about 60 employees) we don't have enough press that warrants monthly coverage. We may look at using PRWeb on an as needed basis, 3-4 times a year for single submissions, but that would be the extent of it. I could see PRWeb being much more beneficial for large companies that are constantly needing to issue press.

    Usability
    Cision
    The Cision PRWeb platform is mostly intuitive. It is broken into Monitoring, Social, Insights, and Outreach sections. The way Mention Streams are set up and organized has confused employees who are new to the dashboard. Under Outreach, the Launchpad and Activities tabs are a little bit redundant and could probably be consolidated.

    Easy and intuitive. I just question how accurate the reporting is. However it is based on the data you feed the system. If that is good quality then the reports will reflect reality and give you clues as to where improvements can be made to an environmental management system etc. I think there is room to improve in terms of third party system integrations to automate data entry and save some time in the workflow. Usability improvements could be made but as the system is technical I think it is great to use once you are used to it

    I have only required support from PRWeb on two separate occasions and they handled my issues without any problems. I was a bit confused at first not sure if they had received my requests but shortly after I received responses and was able to move forward with my press release.

    Implementation of PRWeb required very little of Strouse. It was a quick process and we were almost immediately ready to use the platform.

    It is not an "either-or" situation. If a company really wants to put a release out on the wire, one service might be better suited for it than the other. For when a company wants to target certain countries or vertical markets (e.g. Latin America), PR Newswire would be the proper choice.

    Return on Investment
    Cision
    • It was definitely a cost decision for us, but the ability to have access to their media database was by far the most useful and needed tool for us.
    • For tracking media hits, it saved us time tracking the majority of hits. Where it didn't save us time was with smaller, more niche media.
