Newswire Reviews

ease of use - not complicated - basic analytics for basic feedback

I wish the analytics were more robust but they are okay

Distribution of press release to many outlets.

Categories of interest were too general - we needed much more customization.

Very simple to use. Even when we've had issues with errors, the Newswire team has gone above and beyond to help fix the problem. For example, we sent out a release with a critical error in the title - completely an oversight by us - and the Newswire team resent the wire and went downstream to try to repair the error. I always breath easy when sending out an announcement on Newswire, because I know it will be done right and the pick up will fit our client's needs. I feel like the team at Newswire is an extension of our team. Bravo!

Overall, very user friendly. A couple of small nits to pick - I'd like to see a "full justify" option on the body of text. Also, would like to see more links allowed as part of the wire price. We're seeing more and more opportunities to link within the release to 4-5 social media platforms, as well as client or product sites, and link to the media contact's email address - 8 links goes very quickly. Pie in the sky - I'd like to see an image/logo built into the price of the wire that goes downstream beyond the PRNewswire pick up.

Newswire is reasonably priced and easy to use. I can have a press release uploaded and distributed in less than an hour. They also have great customer service - I once had an error in a press release that had already been distributed. Once I contacted them, they updated the error on their site and contacted companies that had published the press release to have them correct the error on my behalf in a really timely manner.

The introductory price point for a single release, while reasonable, does not result in high levels of traffic for us. The backlinks are helpful to our overall end goal, but the outlets aren't big enough to lead to revenue. The Premium Plus I think would be a better source, however, the price point doesn't work for us right now.

This is a great option to get information out about your company, along with new events or any type of awards or accolades that you have received. Newswire has quite a few offerings for companies that are looking to grow there business, and reach out to new clients with there solutions.

Non that I can think of, easy to work with and the Newswire internal staff always go out of there way to make sure the customer is happy.

I like how easy this software is to navigate.

There is nothing I dislike about this software.

It gives a wide array of options for distribution.

It is overwhelming for new users. I needed support to figure it out.

Really great team, very attentive and thorough with their feedback. I've trusted them with numerous projects and they always deliver.

No issues with this team or software. Very easy to use.

Great support, low cost, and very helpful tool to use when we have information to share

Lost some of the options I had when I first started and the price was raised, but still cheaper than other options

Really, really excellent and timely customer service

Newswire used to distribute to PR Newswire, and has switched to Business Wire, which doesn't have as big of reach

Newswire is very simple to use and does not put you through as many of the verification hassles of the other wire services. I've used all of the wire services and from an ease of use standpoint, this one is the easiest/quickest to distribute news through with no gotchas around pricing, release timing, PR content, etc.

While the ease of use and functionality are great, it would be even better was even more competitive against the other services.

So far, it seems very user friendly, but I need to use it more to learn o all its capabilities.

I don't like the lack of ease from returning to the previous viewed page. I have to use the internet toolbar back button to return to the previous page.

The customer service and responsiveness from Newswire was good

We got 0 interest from any writers. Overall we got no return on our investment.

Easy to use, simple, and customer service to support questions

Limitations with fonts, including Google Fonts to customize posts

As this is my first publishing platform to use, I have found Newswire to be extremely user friendly. I was not overwhelmed with the options and the live chat was great.

I wish there was something that you could explain your goals to, and they suggest which package to pick.

Newswire's clean interface is easy to use and navigate, making it easy to upload and distribute press releases.

Even with many higher-cost release plans, there are still a number of add-ons that would have provided more value if they were included.

Simplicity and followup on activating our press release was done within 20 minutes from start to finish - and therefore we knew that it would be a solution for future use again and again.

I would look for more segmentation - for instance by geography and market sector - we might have missed that capability so that is a signal for improving options and usage scenarios

Immediate newsfeed in google searches with one of the titles released.

Stories have not gotten picked up by any news sources to spark an original piece, other than automatic regenerated press releases on sites.
