Critical Mention Helps Makes Our Press Even More Newsworthy
Reviewed on 9/7/2019

Our agency went viral - literally viral around the world - due to our ability to quickly share detailed metrics during several media outlet interviews. The data is easy to pull, and the reports are customizable for client needs.
Pros
Critical Mention allows us to stay up-to-the-very-minute (literally) of media mentions of our agency and our clients. Often when we do a PR interview, Critical Mention lets us know it is live before the reporter has had a chance to email us. It also provides the metrics we need for clients to be able to showcase overall impressions and media value, while allowing us to remove clutter nonsense that is repetitive and not relevant for tracking needs. We use the software more so for tracking TV coverage for clients as we do product placement for brands as part of our agency services. Critical Mention allows us to review content without having to have a massively extensive (with heavy upkeep) monster of a DVR system in place.
Cons
The social media analytics still have some room to improve, and the maximum you can search for mentions is 60 days - so you need to stay on top of reporting and not use it for competitive research unless you have forethought to plan and download those reports on a continuous basis.

Critical Mention Works for US
Reviewed on 9/3/2021
Pros
I like how I can see, edit through word play, and then save and download video clips. I also like that I can save clips/articles/etc. into separate files for sharing with our leadership team.
Cons
I wish I could figure out or have a way to block from seeing multiple postings of the same article. It's bothersome to see multiples of the same thing in my feed each day.

Expensive, but very solid and easy to use media monitoring software with decent analytics options. Building reports for our board was very easy.
Pros
Really liked being able to clip the media segments based on the text provided to ensure I captured the entire clip.
Cons
On occasion, the media clip and corresponding text did not include the entire clip and there was nothing I could do to get it.

Highly recommend – it's much easier than any other similar software I've used.
Highly recommend – it's much easier than any other similar software I've used.
Pros
The UI/UX is definitely what sets Critical Mention apart. It's very easy to use, setup custom searches and alerts, and trim clips.
Cons
We've had a few issues with specific networks in the past, but that's broader issue with networks and not specifically with Critical Mention.
