Overall Satisfaction with Cision Communications Cloud

We use Cision Communications Cloud (Trendkite)* to monitor coverage on some of our businesses, on trends, for bench marking, to learn about media that is influential within a certain field, on competitors, to evaluate issues and responses, and a variety of other issues that are of interest to us.

It is being used by me for across company use, by Eva (of Samskip Rotterdam) for Samskip global. It addresses the above mentioned problems.


*This review was written before Cision acquired TrendKite. TrendKite is now part of Cision Communications Cloud.
  • The Dashboard is lovely, interactive and fast and customization is also possible.
  • It generally provides a lot of information and you are quick to figure out what is relevant and what is not in each case.
  • Easy to generate reports, dashboards and searches (once you learn how to search properly). Usability is good basically.
  • I really miss not being able to generate automated reports from dashboards. It would make things so much easier if I wouldn't have to that manually and simply add a list of recipients who receive a certain dashboard once a week.
  • There are some issues with news not always turning up in the searches even though the search terms are there. We have not been able to address this.
Much better in all aspects apart from the automated reporting.
I would like to add that Cision Communications Cloud is also highly beneficial for my kind of work as there are no limits on search strings or dashboards. Support is also very good.

Transition from TrendKite to Cision Communications Cloud

Very responsive, positive, helpful - the only thing is that you sometimes have to deal with various different people over longer periods so if an issue hasn't been resolved you always have to re-introduce it.

Using Cision Communications Cloud

Simply very easy to use. The only thing that is challenging is to clean up the search strings.
