An Everyday Necessity **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brooke W. | Outreach Coordinator, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2017 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** Overall the best quality about buzzstream is the chrome extension. You can quickly pop that open to record a website in the Buzzstream database, and from there you can quickly send an email with a pre-saved template. This makes outreach ridiculously fast. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** I don't think Buzzstream accurately records backlinks from websites and who is opening your emails. I have had multiple instances of people responding to my emails even when Buzzstream says they were never opened. I also want a way to sort emails by people who have viewed the email and by people who haven't. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Sign up for the trial first and contact them if you have any questions about implementation. Their customer service is amazing. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to quickly send email outreach to build backlinks for our company's website. I love the fact that all of my outreach is stored in one place and I continually get reminded to follow up after I send emails. ### 7. BuzzStream Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marcos Gabriel C. | Vigilante, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2017 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** Web based software, don't need to download. I can have one parent project with several other initiatives going and trust that if we ask for a feature to help us do our jobs better, they'll be receptive to it. We train all of our staff members on this product because it plays such an integral role in our outreach process. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** We have about 17,000 writers in the system, it can be difficult to load sometimes. I've also had Buzzstream: Lose contacts Lose data on my email campaigns Freeze in the middle of mass outreach and Creates a culture of spam; **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Great program, it has some bugs, but for our company, it gives account of what is proposed to it. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted to promote our content as much as we could to help people find our product, which we believe would be extremely beneficial for them. t has helped me achieve the goals that I was after pretty easily without a ton of effort. ### 8. It's Okay - We utilize this most often for large scale outreach & promotion **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2017 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** Ability to filter outreach by a variety of metrics including sites, POCs, industries, etc. We like that you're able to A/B test messages by creating different titles, bodies & CTAs. Pretty simple interface and ability to sync up to a variety of emails & users. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Could be easier to A/B test on a greater scale - I'd also like to see better tools to mine emails and find industries contacts at scale. We typically use other programs to find emails, contact pages, etc and then upload into BS. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trying to make outreach easier and more streamlined across a wide variety of users. Benefits include time saved, less cross over between common contacts and positive client impact & placements! ### 9. Great concept - but flawed execution **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2018 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** Works well for keeping track of basic outreach and is a useful tool for introducing new marketeers to relationship building and the world of SEO. There is also some potential for basic link monitoring, which can help to keep track of renewing links and checking the health of existings links. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** It's by no means a complete solution. Admittedly you wouldn't expect any one programme to take care of all of your online PR and marketing, however, Buzzstream falls short on some of the basics of what it tries to do. In terms of functionality, its very 'manual' and does a poor job of importing data, meaning that often you will be forced to input data or create required fields yourself. Of course, some of this is basic setup and that is to be expected, but often Buzzstream will fail to discover links even when given to exact url; fail to copy data across projects; and fail to track emails. This will often mean that you still have to reply on your regular email account and input data time and again, as if you are using a spreadsheet. This makes link monitoring and project sharing a real headache. It's a shame, but in reality often we often find ourselves asking what Buzzstream actually does that we couldn't with existing office tools. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Think very hard about what you are looking for and don't expect the world. You'll need to configure the product to do what you want and there are bugs that will slow efficiency, particularly in link monitoring. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** It works for basic (and I stress basic) outreach and does allows us to track data fairly efficiently, but that requires a lot of work and usually other tools as well. ### 10. Great experience with buzz stream! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2018 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** Easy to maneuver interface and quick response time **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** N/A - I really liked using this interface **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Streaming media live ### 11. Extremely good software **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Heather M. | Certified Nursing Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2018 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** The capabilities that this software offers **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** I don't dislike anything about this software **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** It offers me a lot of easy solutions to navigate things at work and making things easier for our company ### 12. BuzzStream Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alyssa B. | Senior Marketing Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** The seamless collaboration between team members on several different SEO campaigns at once. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Uploading our backlink analysis profiles usually takes a few rounds, as the columns never match up and import correctly. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Implement the use of this as early on in a project as possible, in order to avoid overlap in outreach and also take full advantage of its capabilities. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Outreach is easier and faster to gain blog opportunities and build relationships with publishers. ### 13. Great tools for PR nneds **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2017 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** As a PR consultant, this software is a lifesaver. I can have all of my contacts there, and discuss with the rest of my team how any leads went in any given time. I love I can also section target audiences, it's really helpful when you work for international clients, like me. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** It is not very intuitive. If you're in a rush and have been granted access as a consultant (which is my case) you will probably need to set aside some time to train yourself and make sure of how your firm has the thing set up. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can centralize all the contacts in one place, so later the rest of the team can use it and now if any changes have taken place. It's pretty cool! ### 14.

As in it encourages it. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** If you want to bulk email bloggers in a semi-automatic way this works well. It's not a tool that is quick to use.

Buzzstream is great, but has some room for improvement **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2017 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** It's an easy way to organize journalists and keep track of who we're reaching out to. Additionally, the relationships stage feature is hugely helpful. I'll also say that the team is working on implementing new features, which has been great to see. Additionally, the support team is great and is always super responsive when we have questions. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** It can be buggy. The open/response rate features aren't always reliable, which can make it difficult to use the product for any data analytics purpose. Additionally, having a huge database of journalists on the service can be difficult. We have about 17,000 writers in the system, it can be difficult to load sometimes. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Reach out to the Buzzstream team before you make a decision –– they're pretty responsive. Might be better for smaller companies, as having thousands and thousands of writers on file makes the program load slowly. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're able to keep track of the social presence of a journalist and previous articles they may have written. Additionally, the "notes" feature helps with improving our targeting. You can make note of someone's beat, which allows PR people to quickly find the right person. Additionally, the ability to customize the program as needed is a huge plus. ### 30.

I will say when I asked those questions, a support person took the time to address those questions with me. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Great product at an affordable value. I highly suggest at least trialing the product to determine how it could assist with your specific use case. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Again, saved time doing influencer outreach and improved productivity via the Chrome extension and overall contact organization BuzzStream allows.

The only outreach tool you will need **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carlo B. | Online Marketing Specialist, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2017 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** It has everything you would need to monitor contacts and people you've reached out to. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Though it is very easy to personalize, you cannot send bulk emails at once. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Make sure you get to familiarize yourself of all the available features and organization stuff before you add contacts. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simplifies and streamlines the outreach process of content marketing. ### 38. The little black book for PR, promotions, influencer outreach, and linkbuilding. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jimmy D. | Account Manager, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2016 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** Manage contacts and websites across teams to build and manage relationships. BuzzStream is essentially a CRM with SEO/PR focus that will tracking links. Link tracking is an amazing feature. I worked at an agency and in-house and this feature was critical for both roles. Link tracking would enable to monitor when a link is live or lost. Links can be attributed to projects for easy reporting. Support is great. Paul and his team are very responsive and they roll out updates and new features on a regular cadence. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Buzzmarker, which is a Chrome plugin, can be slow at times. The Buzzmarker tool is how BuzzStream knows what specific URL to monitor for links. Honestly this is me nitpicking as, because the rest of the tool is great. I also wasn't a fan of sending form emails through the tool, this enables correspondence through the tool with prewritten emails and lets users track emails more closely. I prefer to send more personal emails myself. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** I've used other CRMs like Sales Force and GoldMine, but they lack the link monitoring feature and more oriented toward sales vs SEO and PR. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Scaling linkbuilding, PR, and promotions at an agency and in-house. Preventing overlap from people reaching out to the same website and/or person. Track links and mention with showing ROI. ### 39. Managing Your Contacts and Outreach **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sarah H. | Editor In Chief, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2016 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** I like how Buzzstream gives you the ability to organize your contacts into multiple projects. You can also track how and when they were contacted, and send emails directly from the application. You can create multiple templates with interactive elements able to pick up on website names and other information entered into each project. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** I wish the organization of the contacts was more intuitive. Sometimes we are reaching out to an individual as opposed to an organization, and I find that templates are not always available across projects. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** BuzzStream has a number of different packages based on how many people you need to contact per month. Start with a smaller package to determine what your needs are before potentially increasing that limit. Also, multiple users can use the same account, however they cannot work on two different projects at the same time. Avoid adding contacts to the wrong projects by coordinating with your colleagues on BuzzStream usage. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sending emails to contact directly from your email can make it difficult to track responses and other communications. Buzzstream helps you organize all of this in one place so that you can qualify contacts and build relationships all in one place. ### 40. Helpful Tool, Always Improving. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2016 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** The Outreach feature is probably my favorite thing about Buzzstream. It allows you to add contacts to a project and seamlessly email each person with a template and/or personalized message. We all hate spam, and our team loves that Buzzstream allows us to efficiently pitch to the media in one window while still giving room to keep things personal with our contacts. Plus, Buzzstream keeps track of how many times your email was opened and notifies you of any responses. It's a seriously great way to keep track of who is talking to who and make sure team members aren't stepping on each other's toes. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** My main qualm is with the reporting system. I send link reports to clients regularly and wish there was a way that my custom export could be saved so I don't have to deal with 18 fields of info my clients couldn't care less about, and so I don't have to click the same few boxes each time. Also, their ranking system is a bit outdated. As of right now, you can sort links by Page Rank (which is basically useless for my client's needs) but Moz Domain Authority is unavailable. I've talked to the Buzzstream team about adding the feature multiple times, but they say they're busy with adding other features and will address later. Not sure when "later" is, but I would love to see that addressed sooner. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Talk to the team, watch their videos, and see if it's worth it for you. We originally looked into the service for one reason and kept it because it met more of our needs than we expected! **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before we switched to Buzzstream, we were working on a super outdated spreadsheet system that made it hard to keep track of our outreach efforts. Buzzstream has allowed us to at least triple our outreach efforts because of the ease of finding old contacts through their tagging system and adding new ones through the Buzzmarker and prospecting tools. ### 41. PR for a busy team - problem solved **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sebastian G. | Co Founder, Retail, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2016 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** The ability to be on a site and immediatly scrape all the ionfo into this ecellent database - game changing **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** To set up was quite a project, we are not supper teccy, nor ludites but we nearly didn't perservere, This was 6 months agao and I suspect this has been improved. I am pleased we got there in the end. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Spend some time working out how you want to use it so when you set it up it's seemless, lots of options can be intimitading **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Collating outreach, responses and monotoring this in a timly manner. ### 42. Best outreach management available **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2016 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** The outreaching. While it's a challenge to learn, once you get the hang on how to the use the software, it's incredible. I find I get a higher positive response rate with this software than similar products. I have also NEVER been penalized by google for anything I've done with BuzzStream, which is unheard of and worth using this software alone. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Two things that turn most off from this product. It's not easy to learn and takes a lot of time and patience. Other software will get you up and running faster. Also, you'll be paying more for BuzzStream than most of their competitors. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Be patient and learn the software properly. If you want results you have to be willing to work for them. If you need things done immediately, maybe try a different software. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm getting my links out there and staying out there. With other software, you run the risk of google taking things down or blocking certain links, but with BuzzStream, your links are getting onto the searches and staying there. ### 43. Not bad for the price **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nivene J. | Social Media Associate, Financial Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2016 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** I like that they are working on a beta Discovery option to help you find bloggers to reach out to. It still needs a little work, but I am sure it will be beneficial when it's rolled out. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Everything is so manual in the system. It can be frustrating because some people use contacts, while others use websites. If you cannot get your whole team to use one process you will have websites with contact info but no people attached and if there are people attached to the website, they can be in a different project and you can't actually reach out without copying and pasting their email address. Also, email templates cannot be updated at once, you will have to create a new template or edit the email every time you want to send it out. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted a system where all our SEOs and outreach specialists could have insight into the outreach process. It has proven helpful because now all stakeholders can log in and view the status of their projects and add/remove contacts as they wish. ### 44. Useful for outreach and managing contacts **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2016 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** Easy to import/export contact, reduces time spent finding contact info, easy to manage outreach templates, easy to see where you're at in the relationship with the contact, easy to filter by person assigned, tags, etc. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Interface is clunky, even after the most recent update. It's not user friendly for new users - takes too much time to learn the ins and outs. Not a great way to manage multiple contacts for a website. Search function isn't great - you need to use the exact words, name, or URL to find anything. I haven't figured out how to search by email address, which would be most helpful overall. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** If you're hoping to create a big contact list of everyone you can reach out to at a certain site, this isn't the best tool. If you just want to do mass outreach with one template to a bunch of sites, this isn't the right tool. BUT, if you want to keep track of contact history, easily manage templates, and do targeted outreach, Buzzstream works great! **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Outreach to gain links for clients. We've been able to keep track of contact history, which is helpful when we need to pitch content for a different client to the same site. ### 45. Best media management solution, ever **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David L. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2016 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** I love the BuzzStream BuzzMaker. I can find an article on a website and immediately add it - and the journalist's contact info - into BuzzStream - in the right category. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** There's nothing that I dislike about this software. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Often clients will distribute a press release with news that has been released before by a competing company. Instead of re-creating the wheel and building a whole new database of media, I use BuzzStream to help find out what competitors secured in the past and grab those publication and journalist names off of the web, directly into BuzzStream! ### 46. The new discovery tool is incredible **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paige G. | Senior Manager, Marketing and Strategic Alliances, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2015 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** I came to BuzzStream after searching for an ideal influencer marketing tool to use for my platform. In short, we're searching for influencers to create content for targeted distribution as an agency. The beta version of the Discovery Tool is nothing short of incredible. You can target writers by any keyword, and each writer's publication history, social media activity, follower interaction rate, and influencer reach is listed. I've been using it for a few weeks and have already seen a 40% jump in our CTR on sponsored content. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** So far, there's not much to dislike. You can use a lot of the tools for free, which is obviously incredibly convenient for a small business. I'm eager to try out the paid platform with my extended marketing budget in 2016. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** If you're in the business of content marketing, I would absolutely use BuzzStream. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** BuzzStream has solved a huge problem area for us. Rather than searching manually for writers, BuzzStream Discovery brings these writers to me. HUGE help. ### 47. Powerful Tool, Befuddled By Bugs and UI Issues **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dane D. | SEO Analyst, Marketing and Advertising, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2015 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** Buzzstream's contact/email discovery tools sometimes work like magic - The info it finds is typically reliable. Also, the combination of outreach and contact management in one app is really valuable, though this is hindered by the app's slow response and bugginess. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Unfortunately, Buzzstream's platform is slow. And I mean REALLY slow. As someone who uses mass email regularly, the fact that even with automation software it can take up to two minutes to send an email (dealing with contact conflicts and custom variables), the platform is far too slow to handle that kind of work. I've also had Buzzstream: -Lose contacts -Lose data on my email campaigns -Freeze in the middle of mass outreach (hours of wasted time) However, one of the biggest draws is the lack of compartmentalization between users on the platform. It doesn't make sense that the account for one company would share any and all information between, for instance, PR and SEO. This makes for conflict and confusion when we're going after different contacts within the same organization, or trying to run white-labeled campaigns for clients. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Buzzstream can be really powerful when used in conjunction with more rudimentary outreach software. For instance, I'll often run my contacts for SEO campaigns though Buzzstream to gather emails I would have otherwise lacked, and then export them for outreach in a mail merge or other basic outreach system. Buzzstream is definitely a more viable product for close-knit outreach teams and PR than for SEO specialists at this time. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Buzzstream solves the problem of email management with outreach, with some degree of success. The epitome of a platform like this would be something flexible, fast, informationally restricted by user (if so desired), and powerful for discovering contacts. Buzzstream excels at contact discovery, which was my most unexpected benefit of the platform, but it falls short at providing the email CRM power I'm looking for. ### 48. Simple, user-friendly, streamlined and personable. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laura C. | Sales and Marketing Manager, Renewables & Environment, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2015 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** The user-friendly design of Buzzstream helps us scale to new users with little training. Our team is able to manage large projects in little-to-no time. Also, installing click scripts enables us to utilize a large database of contacts without constant supervision. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** There are a limited number of custom fields that we can use when issuing variables. It limits how robust our contact information can truly be. Also, I share our contact list with colleagues and it's easy to lose information. I'm not sure how the loss occurs, but we're looking into it. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Buzzstream to create new Marketing relationships and manage existing ones. This is huge for us, as our business does not currently have a CRM system in place that our marketing team can adopt. ### 49. User Friendly **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2016 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** User friendly design that allows our company to scale to new users. It makes it easy to track all your connections and maintain in contact with them- perfect for someone in PR. The BuzzStream team that we work with is amazing and very helpful and very detailed oriented. **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Sometimes the buttons on the dashboard freeze and I have to refresh the screen but other than that we haven't experienced many issues. **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Extremely helpful for anyone who likes staying organized! **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** Perfect for conducting content marketing outreach and is helpful at recording conversations that both my colleagues and I have had with our existing contacts. ### 50. How to find future content partnerships it would be hard to find otherwise? **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tomek B. | Web Content Producer, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2015 **What do you like best about BuzzStream?** There few things that I like: - great search filters - detailed database of performed searches (meaning I can tag saved results the way I want, make notes, share with others) - easy to use outreach feature, which keeps track of the whole communication cycle - reporting **What do you dislike about BuzzStream?** Sometimes too many results to go through **Recommendations to others considering BuzzStream:** Just try it—once you learn how to get best of the tool, no doubt you will enjoy it more. **What problems is BuzzStream solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted to promote our content as much as we could to help people find our product, which we believe would be extremely beneficial for them. By connecting with others we realized how many of our contacts were happy to hear from us, and how our content is much better by supporting each other. ## BuzzStream Discussions - [What is BuzzStream used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-buzzstream-used-for) - 1 comment - [View BuzzStream pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/buzzstream/reviews?page=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-26+09%3A57%3A34+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=44b7143f-032a-43e4-94e8-514d6c8ff01a&secure%5Btoken%5D=664e057c528cde2970a7d4df4c1708c9d51475976d179e43af393556185ae18a&format=llm_user) ## BuzzStream Features **Identify** - Blogger Database - Blogger Search Engine - Selection Criteria **Database** - Media Database - Contact/Campaign Management **Manage** - Import/Export - Automatic Follow-up - Multichannel Outreach - Product Tracking - Content Scheduling **Outreach** - PR Planner - Social Media Services **Results** - Curation - Reports and Visualization - Campaign Analytics **Reporting** - Monitoring - Impact Measurement **Agentic AI - Media and Influencer Targeting** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance **User Rights/Roles** - Version Control - Team Collaboration ## Top BuzzStream Alternatives - [Ninjaoutreach](https://www.g2.com/products/ninjaoutreach/reviews) - 4.0/5.0 (171 reviews) - [CisionOne](https://www.g2.com/products/cisionone/reviews) - 3.9/5.0 (1,295 reviews) - [Meltwater](https://www.g2.com/products/meltwater/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (2,613 reviews)
