LiveJournal vs. Prezly

I feel it's better for personal blogging than for business.

Since this platform is so easy to use when creating or managing communication workflows, it is recommended to work mostly with scenarios that generally require several processes to complete each group management, for example, to cover from the follow-up of employees within the communications team to the management of the team's communication processes.

• The friends list feature aggregates content posted by the users and communities you follow, so you don't have to visit each individual journal.
• The privacy settings are easy to use and understand. Posts can be set as public, friends-only, private, or you can create a custom privacy filter that enables access only by certain users you have approved.
• LiveJournal offers a wide variety of journal styles and customization options, with the most options available to paid subscribers.
• Communities enable users to make online friends and connections who share similar interests. Users may comment on posts and initiate conversations with original authors and other commenters.

• Press releases with photos, videos, clean, attractive layout
• Contact management with tags and segments for media outreach
• Click rates/open rates to help target our followup outreach
• Full HTML press releases dropped into email instead of attached PDFs that don't get opened

• LiveJournal is a bit clunky. Posting is easy, but formatting a post can be a bit difficult, especially if the user doesn't have much HTML expertise.
• The search function is practically unusable. When searching for a community to join or check out, it is difficult to wade through the list of results. Often times, the results that come back are not related to the topic a user is searching for.

• The contact management system is a little wonky but it has improved over the last two years and I expect that trend to continue.
• The grouping system (segments) and tagging is not intuitive. I've had many missteps in trying to get content to particular segments while deselecting individuals.
• You cannot add another group of people to a distribution without going back and recreating the same distribution. you can add individuals but not groups.

As long as I have friends using it, I will use it. But I can't predict how long that will be the case.

LiveJournal does not hold a candle to any of these alternatives in my opinion. The above options allow for more flexibility with their free suites, and provide more professional results with less work. We actually do not use the LiveJournal much anymore because these other alternatives work far better. We used it only as an additive to what the other products bring us

Prezly is much more user-friendly than Cision but isn't as robust. The pricing is similar and I believe Prezly beats it out a bit. Overall, the UI is much better in Prezly giving it the edge.

• I do not use this for business purposes anymore, as mentioned.

• We have taken into account our net profit rates during the time of using Prezly, and therefore we decided that the platform is useful when generating work formations that result in higher profits. Prezly has proven to be an excellent investment, which has satisfied our team.
