Pros:

Customer Services is incredibly good, always available and following-up. Also, its capacity of creating reports and providing quantitative results is key to my activity.

Cons:

It needs to figure out how to get paywalled media content, it is highly important. Algo, programming can become an issue, it has a long learning process to set up all parameters.

A great tool for media monitoring and planning

First of all the team is INCREDIBLE. My account manager is responsive, took the time to understand my business and needs, and is always pushing things my way. We continually have brainstorming sessions where they walk through features, but more importantly, how I can implement them to achieve my goals. The product is straightforward and packs a lot of punch. I am sure I am only scraping the surface on what it can do. Their ability to train the AI on your company, competitors or prospects is incredibly useful! Again, no complex Boolean strings and less chaff in the coverage results!

Pros:

Simple and straightforward. I loved TrendKite and was going to go down that route but the AI capabilities to be able to cut through the noise easier with no long Boolean strings (I had a growing document with Boolean strings to cut through the noise for TK).

Cons:

Definitely would LOVE to be able to drill down into coverage by individual journalist to be able to use data to better analyze who covers a certain topic or competitor. I've used this feature in another platform which helped prioritize outreach based on facts not just your gut or a bio.

Reasons for choosing Signal AI

The AI capabilities really made a lot of sense! There are incredible features in Cision (Trendkite) that Signal may not have, but Signal is a great platform that makes is so much easier to drill down into things.

A very mid-tier product

The biggest problem was that Signal AI couldn't filter out irrelevant coverage from other parts of the world.

Best for media monitoring

Signal is an excellent way of monitoring mentions in the press of our company, key stakeholders, the companies we invest in, and our competitors.

Pros:

Excellent customer service that is available at all times and that follows up. Its ability to produce reports and deliver numerical findings is also essential to my activity. Signal is simple for me to utilise. I enjoy the format and the reports that are generated as a result.

Cons:

Nothing as of yet; I haven't encountered any features I don't like. The main drawback, if any, is that you can only store 18 months' worth of coverage.

Functionality

Pros:

Signal provides me with the ability to monitor all mentions of my company in real time, which is key for a media relations professional in keeping on top of coverage in order to report to senior management and other stakeholders.

Cons:

Ability to customise reports could be improved; although it's difficult to search by topics rather than key words, sometimes key word searches lead to too many false positives.

Pros:

The service has always been very good, which has allowed me to request/instruct new searches and refine them, via live chat or email rather than getting stuck myself.

Cons:

Some media is missed. I would like even better coverage.

Reasons for choosing Signal AI

Better value. Good onboarding experience. Helpful and friendly staff. Did not feel irritated by sales process.

Reasons for switching to Signal AI

Better value for money. Would hate to have to do the same with Signal - am worried that recent price increases will be annual event and corrode value.

Signal changed the way we report for clients

Prior to using Signal, our reporting process was long and often inaccurate. Signal's platform helps us quickly report out to clients and have confidence in our real time monitoring.

Sometimes there are publications that we need to track for clients that aren't in Signal, but all we have to do is tell our CSM and they are usually added to the database.
