Pros
The interface is fairly intuitive and easy to handle and adds a high degree of flexibility and specificity to our media and PR activity.
Cons
Some of the influencer management is a bit tricky (for example being able to select influencers from within a group, without having to type in their names individually, would be good)

Thanks for the feedback! We're glad PRgloo is providing your team with a solid base for your daily work. The influencer management grouping is indeed possible! We'll be in touch to show you how to make best use of this functionality.
The overall speed and simplicity of content creation, sign off and issue is a massive plus and the time saved in this sphere is now allowing us to be more proactive and strategic in our thinking and get away from the firefighting mode.
Pros
The ease of reaching contacts, media, stakeholders and internal teams in an all-in-one solution.
Cons
Not something I dislike in particular, but it would be really useful if social media integration and sentiment tracker could be added to the product as it is the only element missing from what we are asked to monitor in the modern world as PR professionals.

Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you are enjoying all the features of PRgloo, in particular the ability to customise elements to suit your needs. Our customer support team loves to help our clients and it's music to our developer's ears that the slick layout of the system is proving to be time and resource saver!
We were using spreadsheets to track enquiries and Word tables for lists of contacts - it wasn't the most efficient system!
Pros
We're able to track our conversations with the media easily and see what colleagues are working on at a glance.
Cons
Once we dig deeper into reporting and use it for longer, we're confident of ironing this out.

Overall, PR Gloo is simple to use and beneficial to the team. We are looking at how we can maximise full use of the platform. The incompatibility of IT infrastructure with the platform for some tasks is an issue we are working on.
Pros

Importing a large group of contacts to the platform from adhoc lists seems difficult.

The customer service team are excellent. Really quick to respond, very helpful. I am really impressed - you couldn't wish for better service.
Pros
The PRGloo system is really easy to use and to navigate.

Importing contacts could be simplified and it would be great if they did the coverage monitoring themselves rather than having to also use Kantar Media.

We're glad you are finding the system easy to use and navigate and that our customer services team has been so impressive. We like to focus on bringing new features and continually improving the platform, but we are leaving the media monitoring with the pros at Kantar!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad you are enjoying tracking your team's activity and find the platform simple to use! Your feedback is invaluable to us. A member of our team will be in touch to see how we can help further with the calendar functionality.
The integration between our back office system and frontline newsroom has breathed new life into our PR function and, as 2020 progresses we will absolutely be looking to enhance this and exploit every bit of functionality.
Pros
The software is intuitive, well presented and, best of all, just works. It's not got bells and whistles for the sake of it - there are other providers who technically offer more (beware, showy doesn't necessarily mean better) - PRgloo is clean and lean and the delivery is faultless. Plus, and here's the rub, the aftercare is second to none. Nothing is too big, or too small, for the team to deal with and the personal service and lightning quick response times are simply outstanding.
Cons
There's nothing not to like, but there are some tweaks that could deliver a few enhancements such as task allocation to team members and direct publication to social media from press releases/statements.

Thanks for the feedback and welcome aboard PRgloo! We hope you continue to enjoy the platform and our friendly customer team is just an email or a call away if you need any support.
I've enjoyed PRgloo and my first impressions are very strong!
Pros
This helped us encourage the team to log all media enquiries and statements. The search function is much better than what we were using before and we also feel the ability to attach photos to releases and store them long-term will be a helpful time saving measure.
Cons
The topics often overlap and it would be sensible to have a simpler way to check and make sure this isn't happening

We had a really useful training session and we all find the software really easy to use.
Pros
The database of influencers is really useful and is easy to search for new people who are likely to be interested in your content. The company listens to its customers and is always improving their product.

Pros
Due to internal issues, it's taken us a while to implement PRgloo. However, throughout the process, PRgloo couldn't have been more helpful and reactive in responding to our requests for help. They have consistently worked collaboratively with us to onboard the software and gain internal approvals.
Cons
Integration has been tough, but that is wholly down to our internal processes and not PRgloo.

All in all, a great platform for all things related to external communications for a big organisation. We're really pleased we made the move and are slowly getting our heads around its potential. We have found that it was difficult for us all to be trained on such a piece of software, as we're all still working from home and not able to use our usual peer to peer support to help iron out some of the issues we have faced. That said, we couldn't have done anything differently under the circumstances and we are hugely grateful to have a licence extension until June.
Pros
Allows quick and easy communication with journalists, pulling off reports for analysis and tagging of coverage to show impact of work completed.
Cons
Some of the language used is not intuitive (e.g. why aren't conversations called enquiries) but I'm sure this will iron itself out after more use. We are so used to Vuelio's labels that this is a big jump away from that and I have found it like learning a new language. At login screen it would be helpful to be able to see passwords are correct before pressing enter.

Welcome to PRgloo! Thanks for the feedback, we're thrilled that you are enjoying using the new platform. We're looking at whether we can have an option to change terminology for labels. We do have single sign on options for your password which means you don't need to remember it. We will however look at the security implications of adding a view password feature. We hope you enjoy getting to use the platform to its full potential.
Pros
The ability to collate all media inquiries into the business in one place, delegate, and share responses.
Cons
There has been some mis-matching of conversations to coverage.
