Overall Satisfaction with Cision Communications Cloud

Cision Communications Cloud (TrendKite)* has been used within the Marketing team to monitor the company's global media coverage and inform staff on important media mentions.


*This review was written near the time Cision acquired TrendKite. TrendKite is now part of Cision Communications Cloud.

Pros

  • The dashboards are modern, easy to use and to re-purpose for specific searches.
  • Reports are truly interactive, quick and easy to build and share with anyone in the form of a web link.
  • Newsletters are another attractive way to share results with the company's stakeholders.

Cons

  • The media database is quite US-centered; it has been expanding in the rest of the world, however, there is still much room for improvement.
  • Some KPIs like SEO impact and PR attribution should be better explained within the dashboards and knowledge base, some examples would be helpful.
  • The "mentions by location" feature should be a global (not US-only) metric.
Cision Communications Cloud is a great tool to monitor media coverage, however, there is room for improvement on the distribution side (Pinpoint Contacts could be stronger in niche industries and areas outside the US).
