It has been a relief for our monitoring efforts.
It has been very helpful with our communications campaing for eToro.
PROSCustomer Services is incredibly good, always available and following-up. Also, its capacity of creating reports and providing quantitative results is key to my activity.
CONSIt 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!
PROSSimple 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).
CONSDefinitely 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.
Reason 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.
PROSWe didn't specify our media monitoring properly. Signal AI didn't work for us but might for others.
CONSA little 'busy' but otherwise functional.
Reason for choosing Signal AI
It was cheap.

Great software
Very high - being able to directly compare competitor SOV (at a macro and micro level) is excellent.
PROSThe speed of search is unlike previous tools utilised by the team. Particularly impressed with being able to tweak searches almost instantaneously to match new parameters.
CONSAs always intergration does take time. Would like to see an easier way to combine over 10 searches for brands that have multiple products/sub brands.

Easy to use, good support service.
Signal is an excellent way of monitoring mentions in the press of our company, key stakeholders, the companies we invest in, and our competitors.
PROSThe 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.
CONSSome media is missed. I would like even better coverage.
Reason 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.
PROSSignal is easy to use and provides us with valuable data. Their customer support team is outstanding and always quickly helps with any problems we encounter.
CONSSometimes 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.

Necessary insights
Positive experience, support staff are really helpful and always answer my questions in a timely fashion.
PROSI love that it includes broadcast and media, often media listening tools are too focussed on social media.
CONSI wish there were more cuts of data that could be created, such as share of voice, online behaviors and easier ways to build queries

An easily customisable solution for real time media monitoring
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.
CONSAbility 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.

Easy to use. Great customer support and constant improvements being implemented.
PROSIt gives a lot of options for searching, curation, monitoring etc.
CONSCould be overwhelming at the beginning. Maybe there should be some training videos available for everyone.

Great Service for a PR professional
Overall very satisfactory.
PROSSignal's reach and ability to flag up coverage is impressive. You can stay very simple or be more complex with the filters you set for your searches. The bulletin feature is very helpful to stay on top of coverage as it comes out.
CONSIt is not perfect, but what is? Certain relevant articles will be missed and certain irrelevant articles will be flagged. But considering Signal is scouring the whole internet, I'd say we can cut it some slack.

Signal AI - Bringing Media monitoring into the 21st century
Really impressed. The customer service is very responsive for any of my needs, both on the chat in the platform and via email. I also appreciate the webinars they hold for getting additional value out of the platform. The staff all seem really engaged and genuinely happy to help.
PROSQuick to install and understand. I was able to use it from day one.
CONSNothing as yet - not come across any features I am not happy with. Only criticism if at all, is the ability to only hold 18 months worth of coverage.
Reason for choosing Signal AI
SaaS platform, distinct and modern approach to media monitoring, online media focus.

Overall, I am very happy with the software
Signal Media really makes my job easier on a day-to-day basis. It's real-time, which is crucial in the ever-evolving media field. It provides a great wealth of information and helps you stay up to date.
CONSSometimes I find the publications a bit limiting - not in a matter of quantity but quality. Some of the larger publication who I typically rely on for news are not included in the database, which I find a little odd

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.
PROSExcellent 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.
CONSNothing 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.

Track your contents with Signal Media
I generally satisfied with functionalities, also adding very helpful customer support.
PROSWe mostly enjoyed the feature of smart media filtering which led our team to gain precious time and quantity. Moreover, the software provides detailed reports based on machine learning and visualization charts to provide insight statistics.
CONSI have not discovered such disadvantages compared to the business interest of Signal Media, yet I would love to see the availability of the product extended to mobile devices.
