Overall Satisfaction with Newswire

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use their release distribution services regularly, with little-to-no issues. The review processes are super quick and their customer service has always been top-notch! They respond quickly and always provide a resolution.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Customer Service
Affordability
Press Release Distribution

Cons

Have a better understanding of tech API's, some of our press releases were flagged and required 'proof' because their reviewer didn't understand how social network API's work.

Return on Investment

Website Traffic
Leads
Thought Leadership/Credibility benefits

Usability

It's super easy to use. The only thing that is stopping it from being a 10 is that sometimes when you're working on a press release the option to edit goes away and you have to log out and back in again.

Alternatives Considered

PR Newswire

Way more cost-effective for basically the same set of features and capabilities. Newswire has better customer support also.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need to get a press release out fast that drives an impact and is cost-effective—they're a great option for startups! But, as mentioned there were times when our press releases had been flagged to provide 'proof' for credibility reasons (which is understandable). But, this goes back to understanding how tech APIs work. I had emailed them letting them know this and provided the proof and my press release still went out at the time I had scheduled it because of how quick their response time is—I also haven't had any issues since.
