What Cision customers are saying

[Contacts] on the list don’t seem too happy to be on this list. Cision will tell you it’s your fault for contacting the wrong person. It’s not.

Cision Customer in a G2 review

Horrifically bad value for money. We left. Unified cloud was 100% overhyped. Rolled out with unclear UX, broken features.

Cision is not updated regularly… Often the contact info for editors is not available or [doesn’t exist] I wouldn’t recommend using them.

What Cision customers are saying

“The interface is not easy to use, and a lot of the features of the old version of Cision are either not currently available yet in CisionOne or just not user friendly, and so I've found overall that it takes much more time using CisionOne than it used to using the old interface”

Freezing, out-of-date info.

PR software powered by technology, backed by experts

PR is about relationships—so is our support.

As a Muck Rack client, you’ll not only have an account manager, customer support and direct access to our editorial team, you’ll also have a dedicated customer success manager assisting with onboarding and best practices. In-app messaging on every page means a human being is never more than a click away.

What Cision customers are saying

You really get what you pay for with Cision. The interface is cheap and clunky, they don’t monitor as many titles as you’ll need them to, the press lists are far from definitive and their customer service is poor. They’re great when you’re signing up, but good luck after that!

Cision Customer in a G2 review

The product isn't what it used to be and the 70% renewal rate reflects it. Introducing yourself to a client or prospect who's heard it all before from the long, long line of predecessors makes your job difficult to establish any credibility or relationship.

The main problem with Cision is that it's no more than an asset being bought and sold.
