Considered Both Products	PR Newswire Verified User Strategist Chose PR Newswire PR Newswire had a broader distribution network with a much more streamlined approach to uploading, verifying, and sending. When evaluating the other platforms, we decided to go with one that had a comprehensive network while maintaining a reasonable price. Other companies had … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose PR Newswire I have inherited Meltwater at two companies and always went back to PR Newswire. Their sales people are very aggressive, they didn't deliver on what they said they would and distribution was poor compared to what we saw with PR Newswire. I was told their issues had been fixed … Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose PR Newswire Cision PRWeb (is similar to PR Newswire - and is also a product of the same company) and we have also used this service for the distribution of the Newswire articles. This significantly enhanced the campaign and increases the number of views of the initial articles. PR Newswire … Incentivized Helpful? David Fox President \| Sales & Marketing Advisor Chose PR Newswire PR Newswire's format and backend tools are head and shoulders above other services in their ease-of-use and management ability. Everything you need is right there and just makes sense from a user perspective. They have updated a few of the things that were cumbersome so the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Vice-President Chose PR Newswire PR Newswire is considered one of the two gold standard newswire services because of its wide reach and high quality reporting. Pricing is almost identical to its biggest competitor, Business Wire, so it winds up being a matter of preference and ease more than anything. We … Incentivized Helpful? Dan Lobring Vice President, Marketing Communications Chose PR Newswire PR Newswire and Businesswire are familiar, similar products in terms of newswire distribution services. Many times it comes down to client familiarity with one service over the other, the cost per distribution, the reach of distribution, as well as other related fees, i.e., you … Incentivized Helpful? Leslie Groves Head Of Marketing Chose PR Newswire PRNewswire is the gold standard among distribution of communication to media outlets. I feel that the customer service is very well done and don't see reason to stray from a known entity that performs well. I also don't see why I should add another distribution outlet as all … Incentivized Helpful? Ashley Taylor Director of International Branding and Marketing Chose PR Newswire They are obviously related, however, I do not see how they can be stacked against one another. Incentivized Helpful? Michelle Messenger Garrett Writer/Content Creator/Public Relations Consultant Chose PR Newswire PRWeb is now owned by the same company (Cision). It's a lower priced service that I frequently recommend to clients on a budget. It allows links, a photo, and so on for a reasonable cost. I used Business Wire for many years, but when I had a bad experience with customer … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose PR Newswire I used Newswire.com later and found them to be excellent compared to PR Newswire. They were a more affordable, faster, and much better online platform, etc. Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose PR Newswire We looked at changing due to the price of PR Newswire but were not as impressed with the other services to risk leaving. We have a great relationship with our account rep at PR Newswire and overall, had not had any major issues in the 5+ years we've been using them. Incentivized Helpful? Cindy Arco Public Relations Manager, Florida Region Chose PR Newswire I previously used Business Wire. We made the decision to switch to PR Newswire because we were not satisfied with the pricing and customer support we were getting from Business Wire. PR Newswire gave us a package of news releases, so we save money versus doing them individually … Incentivized Helpful? Richard Angeloni Director of Integrated Marketing Communciations Chose PR Newswire We did do some research before selecting PR Newswire a number of years ago, and we saw that PR Newswire was certainly an industry leader and that the pricing was for the most part competitive with other companies. Ultimately, we choose PR Newswire because the dashboard is very … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose PR Newswire PR Newswire is slightly more difficult to use than Business Wire, but it often picks up news that other platforms miss. PR Newswire is my primary newsgathering source, and Business Wire is my secondary. Used together, I think I'm able to cover all the bases. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Blackwell Louisiana Baptist Message Chose PR Newswire PR Newswire is different from the others because it actually does sound like a news story at times. That is helpful when time is at a premium and you are wanting to get something out there that is a story that is informative and doesn't look like a PR piece at times. Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Cision PR Newswire is the best platform for the wide distribution of press releases. We have been using it to make announcements about our company, new products, new partnerships, and other formal information that needs wider distribution than we can provide on our own. It is not as well suited to more organic or topical information, such as a blog or commentary. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Cision Making news searchable and findable, populating automated news alerts for those who follow certain companies and/or industries. Ensuring that news is issued in a way that satisfies legal and regulatory requirements for publicly traded companies. Ensuring that all content distributed through the platform is editorially sound and free of grammatical errors. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Cision Pricing - PR Newswire is expensive. I don't think this is necessary something they need to improve upon as their pricing does include a lot and is comparable to what other similar companies charge, but the pricing structure does price out smaller companies or public relations agencies. Incentivized Cindy Arco Public Relations Manager, Florida Region Read full review
Usability	Cision PR Newswire is an industry leader and gives the user the ability to send out a press release, to a wide audience, very quickly and easily. The pricing is on par with other companies (perhaps they are a bit higher) but they do send useful "visibility" reports after a release is distributed, which is helpful when trying to explain ROI to C suite leaders. You also can email or fax your own distribution list, which is helpful and reduces the need for a media monitoring service Incentivized Richard Angeloni Director of Integrated Marketing Communciations Read full review
Support Rating	Cision Honestly this is probably the absolute worst part of the company. I had maybe 5 different emails from 5 different people when attempting to use this service, and I never knew who my account manager was and who the other people were. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cision PR Newswire and Businesswire are familiar, similar products in terms of newswire distribution services. Many times it comes down to client familiarity with one service over the other, the cost per distribution, the reach of distribution, as well as other related fees, i.e., you have to be a member of PR Newswire to use the service and then pay fees on top of that for individual distributions.

Return on Investment	Cision We lost one of our pre paid distributions due to the expiration date We would like to see more communication between the client and the representative or account manager We have had success in getting larger publications to pick up our over the wire publication Incentivized Ashley Taylor Director of International Branding and Marketing Read full review
