"Economical and Intuitive Solution with Room for Display Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

I like the flat fee retainer and how it makes it more economical, allowing us to do unlimited releases, which really helps with the volume we handle. The customer service is also something I appreciate. Tom from the sales side and the editorial desk have been great when needed. I enjoy the plethora of product offerings, including features like RSS, social media cross-posting, media and journalist tracking, and social media monitoring. It's great to have all these options even though we are yet to establish some of them. ACCESS Newswire has good publicity reach, effectively connecting us to the right audience. The platform is highly intuitive, making it easy to put in a press release, schedule it, and go. It even creates a hosting website, which simplifies things for us.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

I believe that your website display is not that nice. I mean, look at the newsfile display of the press releases and how it formats it. It looks more like a web page, like an article. I feel like the ACCESS Newswire webpage that displays the PR could be worked on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Distribution, Needs Better Usability"
2/5
What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

I use ACCESS Newswire for press releases and media monitoring. I like the structure of the press release portal. I appreciate being able to see what is in a draft and what isn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

The customer service is disconnected from each other, making it difficult to get issues resolved. The press release setup does not allow for an easy user experience, particularly with features like text wrapping or centering photos. The initial setup was not easy either. We had issues with our paid membership not showing in our account, which required emailing releases to editorial instead. This issue happened multiple times, and each time it felt like we were starting from scratch since they seemed unaware of our problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

Can't say that there were any detractors. I would expect more support and guidance if I weren't doing a one-off press release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Press Releases, Needs Improved Formatting"

I use ACCESS Newswire for press releases, and I find it makes the process quick and easy, allowing me to complete press releases in minutes. I really like its easy-to-use website and how just a few clicks are needed to get a press release out there. The built-in error checker is also a plus. It's straightforward; you just add the heading, body content, select your package, and you're done. The initial setup was very easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

The formatting can be better. Sometimes the content is not properly formatted, like tables, images, and links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, Reliable PR Delivery with Fantastic Support"

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

The UI feels dated. The fact that you have to leave a PR if the subaccount hasn't been created in order to create one is a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

The helpfulness of Accesswire staff and ease of use of the press release product(s). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

I don't dislike anything but it would be nice to place all keywords for the press release at once instead of having to do it one at a time. That would save a lot of time to be able to immediately upload all keywords when designing press releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Affordable Press Releases with ACCESS Newswire"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ACCESS Newswire?

I like that ACCESS Newswire is pretty easy to use and I haven't run into any problems using this software. I find it very fast and it helps post press releases at a reasonable price. They also show good information about who's reading the press releases. There is a press analytics report that gives some good information about the type of interactions with the report and the location, which is good to know. The initial setup was pretty self-explanatory, which was helpful for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACCESS Newswire?

I'm not sure if there's really any area, but I think maybe the distribution could be expanded upon. That would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
