Cronycle

To any private/public entity monitoring business trends.

Cronycle is very good at tracking broad subjects of interest across multiple news sources. The features available to organise, annotate and share content of interest are well thought through.

Cronycle has cut research down for my team and me from days to hours depending on the topic. That alone was worth the decision to use the tool. While it is not intended to be employee advocacy or sales enablement tool, there's a big opportunity for this. I hope the newsletter section will get stronger for this.

great for group collaboration and individual use, to keep track of the online information average. It is great for researchers, exploring new domains or gathering topics from online resources, keeping it together with their own pieces of content.

Cronycle is best suited into agencies that keep working tirelessly around various fields and different types of clients at one go. It becomes very efficient in managing the time into an organization that looks to switch game in matter of days. Well I'm not too sure if it is of same help into the big MNC's that tend to follow the same job type and designation for individuals.

For those needing to stay up to date across or very active sectors, it is an attractive, convenient most importantly efficient way to receive and filter for relevance.

Cronycle is a great tool for internet research in a large team that requires collaboration. You can collect news articles, add notes, summaries etc. These news articles can be added to various boards that all team members can view, use and give feedback on.

I already do promote it as the tool that allows us to respond more quickly to issues than when not using Cronycle. So typically before suppliers or users tell us there is an issue, we knew already about them. Because Cronycle filtered them from the internet at the moment they emerge.

The best scenario I can think of is research work. It's very easy to find relevant content online from multiple sources and move it to collaboration boards, where discussions, comments, ratings, and other content can be added. I can't see Cronycle working well if you are looking for a place to check all the content you are interested in at once. Although you can still go through all your feeds, it's not the easiest and I would probably pick other services that can group all feeds together.

Prior to adopting Cronycle, our research team had a variety of different ways in which they would discover, store and share information. These methods were often inconsistent, with many smaller teams or sub-groups of researchers operating independently of others. In many cases, content that was potentially useful to more than one colleague was not being shared at all. We had thousands of different sources, accessed through varying methods and stored in different locations/systems, and very few colleagues would have had an idea of which sources other team members were using. Furthermore, we became aware as a team that while between us we were pulling in a lot of information, much of what was being discovered was not necessarily being acted upon, or indeed being read by the colleague to whom it was most relevant. We also needed to become more targeted, and indeed more selective, in the information we were seeing, and Cronycle -specifically through the Sources Library, the Feeds, and the tagging and notification functionality - has enabled us to do just this. There has been a genuinely transformative outcome to our information gathering ability, borne out by specific metrics, which Cronycle has also provided us with via the Enterprise account.

Any issues with the platform have always been resolved quickly. I have never previously worked with a third party software provider whose support team is as responsive.

Before I pitch a new client, I research them and their industry eco-system in order to identify the primary issues they may be facing now or in the near future. Honing down on topics is quick and easy with Cronycle, which allows me to cut through the noise and come up with valuable insights to share when I first meet them. Over the long term, the body of information I curate in my Cronycle Boards becomes invaluable in identifying patterns, trends, and changes [that] feed into business strategy and form the basis of keynotes and board presentations.
