Overall Satisfaction with Cision Communications Cloud

The cloud is used just by the marketing department, and most specifically within the PR team. It helps us manage media lists.
  • Media lists.
  • Customer support/account service team.
  • Outlet metrics (uvms, circulation etc).
  • Search tool functionality.
  • Lack of details for contacts.
  • Slow updates to contacts.
  • Expensive to just serve as a phone book.
  • Helpful to target media.
I am relatively young in terms of experience, and Cision Communications Cloud is the only product of its kind that I've used so far. At my past companies, media list management was all handled by an outside agency so I did not have visibility into their systems.

It is well suited for those who manage media lists, distribution, email marketing, mass communication. It would not be appropriate for anyone outside of a marketing team at my company.

  • Finding media information.
  • Searching contacts or publications - search tool seems very undeveloped/unintelligent.
I give it a 5 because while the website is very easy to navigate, I have so many issues with the search function. I can type something in that is one letter off, and no results will come up. You must type something in to perfection to get results - I think the results should cast a wider net so it's easier to find what you're looking for.
