Overall Satisfaction with Cision Communications Cloud

We use Cision Communications Cloud (Trendkite)* for our creative agency, and for most of our PR clients. It's a great tool for PR monitoring, reporting, and targeting reporters and we plan to continue using it next year. I like that it has a strong digital PR and social media component to help demonstrate reach across all platforms. We have recommended it to larger clients who would benefit from having their own PR database. I also appreciate the customer service at Cision. Since they are a newer company, it feels like they actually care about me, and they are way more responsive than our previous solution. I also find that while their database of reporters is smaller, the contact information is actually accurate, which goes a long way in my book!


*This review was written before Cision acquired TrendKite. TrendKite is now part of Cision Communications Cloud.
  • Customer service and responsiveness
  • Working to customize a solution within your budget
  • Media monitoring and reporting
  • A larger and more detailed reporter database.
I like it much better than Meltwater, which is what we used previously.
Cision Communications Cloud (TrendKite)* is useful for agencies with a smaller number of PR clients who don't already have their own PR databases. It's expensive for agencies to have many seats for multiple clients.

Transition from TrendKite to Cision Communications Cloud

They are very responsive and willing to take feedback to improve features.
