The two programs were nearly identical—Cision was able to give us a better price. Moreover, the Cision database is much more robust, is more frequently updated, and has more impactful information thanks to the reporter notebooks tools. Additionally, Cision's customer service is leaps and bounds ahead of Meltwater.
