My overall experience has been good. The customer support is usually very fast and any issues always get resolved. The platform and staff are very reliable and useful.
The thoroughness of coverage and the reach is far larger than other products and the ability to customize searches, add viewers
a few typos in search criteria setup from prior account managers - but nothing that affects its usability
Kathy, we're glad to hear we have delivered such a great experience for you. Our team strives for excellent customer service and product solutions. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional we can do for you.

Avoid this company at all costs. They have unethical and deceptive business practices.
It's easy to use and offers a robust contact list for reporters and media outlets. The daily reports are also helpful in seeing media mentions and areas of interest.
The customer service and their business practices are just unethical and deceptive. I caution anyone who is considering meltwater to understand that they will be automatically renewed for the next year if they don't give 90 days notice. Where is this listed? In a URL you have to click on that's buried in your agreement they send you. They don't separate it out, highlight it, or tell you anywhere else. Their customer service and management couldn't care less that they dupe you into another year at thousands of dollars. I wouldn't give this company the time of day, let alone my business ever again. Avoid at all costs.
Hi David, we appreciate your honest review. We set a high standard for ourselves, so we are disappointed to hear that your experience with us was not a positive one. We will use this as an opportunity to improve.

Our organization is a client of Meltwater's and found the service was not benefiting us. The reports, stats and information provided were not beneficial. I indicated to the account specialist, I wasn't sure we would be renewing when they sent me a confirmation for renewal on October 26, 2018. Their only discussion was about getting me best prices. I did not sign the renewal confirmation. Our services...
Nothing - it said our reach was over 200 billion - there are less than 8 billion people on the planet.
It is redundant and doesn't deal with reality.

Tip to your sales team: stop being so aggressive and reading from a script it gets very annoying.
They have an extensive journalist database and their social media platform is great. Can connect several different clients' accounts and schedule posts and the metrics are great
Their sales team is extremely aggressive. Only hear from account reps when it's time for renewal and after you sign up they go silent when you have an actual issue.

Meltwater provides us with the intelligence we need and an easy-to-use platform, to boot. It's a must-have.
Meltwater is fairly intuitive to use, though their reps will walk you through everything.
Seems there's always something new they want you to buy.
