Burrelles is by far the best print monitoring service out there. Not only do they hand-clip all your print mentions, but they underline your brand mentions in the scanned documents. Additionally, Burrelles now has a premium web service option that allows you to get behind pay walls like the NYT and Chicago Tribune. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, Burrelles' print service is limited to all brand mentions you request only. You're not able to look for competitive results if you're not paying for their print clipping search. Additionally, their iMonitor online search tool only gets you so many results and almost requires you to use their Premium Web Service ($300/month). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform allows you to get around paywalls. Additionally it allows you to view text versions for easy searching and analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clips tend to be later than desired or duplicate. Sometimes clips can be a bit late as well which makes it tougher to rely on by itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Burrelles captures everything, as long as you set your search terms correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Old interface and wonky search function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it captures mentions in local publications all around the country. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filters can be a little off sometimes and can grab irrelevant mentions, but this is easily rectified. The monitors are delayed in picking things up, but our client is aware of this and it hasn't been an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like having the client's name highlighted within the article as well as the search term at the top. It helps me quickly identify whether or not something I am using is relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The clips themselves look a little dated and blurry. It would be nice to have something a little more client ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to save placements in nicely clipped PDFs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We saw some stories we didn't need, but it was quickly resolved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The work is comprehensive and very helpful when doing a campaign with a far reach Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is so expensive and paper clips can take a while. Customer service is great, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were able to track media mentions all over the country, even in small town newspapers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wonder what sets it apart from Google Alerts which is a free service....but I'm guessing Google doesn't catch every single mention out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Burelles easily tracks print coverage without any work on my end. I know that if I log in, I can easily check on what coverage has been logged since my last visit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Burelles does a good job of catching most articles, but doesn't capture all. Or sometimes, it may take several days (or even weeks) for print coverage to show up in the queue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Burrelles is one of the only media monitoring services I'm aware of that still monitors print media. Search queries are fairly easy to set up, and the price point is reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Placements still slip though the cracks. It's best used when you know a particular media outlet will be publishing a story that you want to check up on; in that case, have keywords set up ahead of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
