Mention gets all the mentions
Reviewed on 2019/09/10
Back in the day, we’d monitor news with Google Alerts which was obviously a terrible idea. Mention picks up stuff lightning fast and it’s incredibly affordable if you're on a budget and looking to get in to more serious media monitoring. I can’t recommend Mention enough as a user-friendly, cost-effective, thorough solution. It also offers more advanced options for when your budget or need increases.
Pros
It’s a cost-effective, in-depth monitoring solution.
Cons
I wish more features were available to base plans, even on an a la carte basis.

Brand mention monitoring on autopilot.
Reviewed on 2019/08/06
Smooth, powerful and helpful.
Pros
We use mention to send Slack messages whenever someone mentions our brand or website online. This effortless way of keeping tabs on who we should say thank you to, or to monitor the success and activity of marketing campaigns really helps us stay on top of things.
Cons
Can't think of anything negative to say! If you want more powerful options, you do have to pay but even the free options are super helpful.

Mentions is Awesome!
Reviewed on 2016/09/07
I like the way you can limit the amount of feedback by blocking those you know don't belong and adding key words and using key words to block. I've been using this product for about two years. I'm a one person PR shop so it really saves me time in searching for those commenting about our school.
Pros
I get notifications by email about people talking about the school. It covers all social media and all sources on the web. It's really great and easy to use.
Cons
It's pretty pricy for a school but they do have a free option that is what I use. They used to have a larger number of free mentions but now it's only 100 which isn't many. I reach my max by the end of the first week of the month. I wish they had an educational discount.

The easiest tool to monitor media
Reviewed on 2019/01/18
Pros
When I started my work 3,5 years ago I tested a lot of media monitoring tools and Mention keep being the best so far. The first thing - it's clear and easy. The second - it lets me reply on Twitter mentions without leaving the app - it saves time. The third - I can see in the right side of the app what's inside the mention so I can see if it worth my attention without leaving the app.
Cons
I don't have any cons in mind. Maybe the fact, that during these 3,5 years I've been using it the app missed some articles that turned out to be quite important.

Mention is a good overall tool for measuring Share of Voice and tracking visibility.
Reviewed on 2017/09/06
Good overall look at Share of Voice versus our competition. Affordablility.
Pros
Ease of Use and Affordability. For getting a quick and relatively accurate overall Share of Voice reading, Mention is a solid tool. It is affordable and provides the basic functionality a marketer needs to measure social media and online mentions.
Cons
Granularity in results and being able to track Share of Conversation is limited. Accessing history is limited, as it only tracks from the time you set up a stream search. Limited in key word functionality and Boolean searches until you upgrade and then it gets more expensive.

Would like to see a pay-level between Free and Solo.

A must have for your PR efforts
Reviewed on 2019/02/04
It's a really good bit of software. I just wish they'd introduce an 'unlimited mention' pricing tier, and make it affordable.
Pros
It's a social listening tool, so it monitors mentions of your brand, your competitors and even your market on social media. It tells you who's talking about your areas of interest, and what they're saying. This makes it easy to start a conversation with potential leads or influencers.
But the feature I like most is the ranking of influencers for a social term - this helps you target your PR to the most important influencers.
Cons
It can be expensive, and the price is difficult to justify if you're a small business.

Great online/media monitoring tool for your organization
Reviewed on 2018/11/30
Working for a local government, I like being able to monitor was residents and visitors are saying on social media about us. It's a very handy tool at no cost if you choose the right keywords and stay with the free plan.
Pros
Mention is an asset to individuals. organizations, companies, governments, etc. that want to keep track of what's being said online about them. I also like having a PC program/app that allows you to view the information.
Cons
There are limits on the number of items/keywords that you can track without upgrading to a paid plan, but the free plan is still quite good.

Reviewed on 2019/05/14
Any keyword, brand, or name can be monitored easily. The speed and ease of keywords to both track and to block is time saving removing irrelevant spam that can flood you with other apps. Mention is essential to managing and tracking your community. It's the best product of it's kind on the market.
Pros
Accurate results, easy to set up and to use, Mention is easy to connect your social accounts too and it covers all social media from all sources on the Internet. Very easy to use dashboard for both personal and business use.
Cons
There should be more options to display data however Mention seems to be constantly upgrading and developing so I am sure this will be something taken in consideration by them in the future.

This is an essential tool in any business of any size that has an online presence and wants to monitor their digital marketing. The best value is in its "early warning" application to lets you manage your online brand reputation.
Pros
I do not know what magic crawlers or algorithms they use. But it WORKS and it is accurate.
Note though that I can not rate their customer support as I have never needed to use it. Yes they are just that good.
Cons
The free version is limited, but still well worth it for a growing business.

Keep a track of your brand and competition
Reviewed on 2018/11/14
I enjoyed using this, it actually has a fast learning curve and fulfills all needs when you are keeping track of your growing brand. If you are ready to throw a few bucks in this can be the best brand for you.
Pros
I am able to know who is talking of my brand, get email notifications (Which is not up to the expectations but still good). It also gives you an understanding of the competitive brands and what are they up to. You could actually feed in your tags, key words and it would be able to get you the right brands you have to keep an eye on.
Cons
I used the trial version for some time, since mine is a small home-business brand which is still on growth upgrading is too costly in my view. There is nothing else that I am particularly complaining about this software.

Pros
Mention is a one-stop-shop to monitor your brand and campaign success well beyong the reach: it helps you learn more about you, your competitors, and how people feel about it. In a way, not only you learn IF and HOW MANY people are talking about you, but also WHAT are they're saying, which is super useful, especially if you're working for controversial/polarising issues.
Cons
It's quite expensive as a service, and upgrades get to sky-high prices ,often unaffordable for not-for-profit organizations. So I hated it because I couldn't get it!
