&lt;p&gt;My split would be Meltwater for stronger all-around monitoring and analytics, CisionOne for teams that will genuinely use the wider Cision media-relations ecosystem, and Agility for teams that want less suite overhead and more support. The deciding factor is not who has the biggest database. It is which platform your team can operate without repeatedly paying for configuration help or discovering new contract limits.&lt;/p&gt;
