Overall Satisfaction with Cision Communications Cloud
We used Cision Communications Cloud (TrendKite)* for media monitoring to support the Secret Service. We created a daily news summary with it.

- Breadth of sources: We could always find reports.
- Query language is intuitive and help menu detailed enough to help you write advanced queries easily.
- Features were complementary and useful.
- We didn't use most of the features, as we had no need for them.
- News sources were often spam or not meaningful. Some of these could be addressed in the query, but often there were no options.
- Paywall sources such as LexisNexis and Bloomberg gave just enough to get you an article hit, but failed at giving you the whole story, which made them useless.
Lexis Advance was more suited to our needs, but Cision's pricepoint was better.
Cision Communications Cloud didn't have the breadth of sources or features. However, for the work we were doing the Cision pricepoint made more sense.
