## Critical Mention Reviews
  ### 1. Affordable, Detailed Global Press Monitoring with CM; Social Media Analytics A Bit Lacking

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alphonse T. | Senior Manager, Global Communications, Non-Profit Organization Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2026

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

CM offers an affordable subscription for monitoring press mentions worldwide, and it can often filter down to very specific search terms and queries. For its price range, not many other platforms provide the same level of detail for media monitoring.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

The user interface is a bit clunky and not responsive to different types of devices. The social media monitoring function is often inaccurate or does not capture sentiment; the platform should focus in on the core service of media/press queries rather than cross platform integrations that are not done as well.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For a nonprofit organization, this provides a mostly simple, direct way to stay on top of press and media hits. It saves time for our teams and helps us support our international offices with a service they need but don’t have the resources to manage on their own.

  ### 2. Critical Mention does a good job monitoring outlets and creating comprehensive reports for clients.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kwyn J. | Senior Account Executive, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2025

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

The reports are easily the best thing about critical mention. The analytics at the top, the breakdown of categories, the charts and the ability to view all coverage in one place is loved by myself and my clients.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

The estimated audience values are always wayyyyyy off for online outlets. We are constantly having to adjust the numbers which is extremely time consuming and frustrating. It also misses a ton of mentions so we are often having to search for coverage manually or via other search engines and adding them to reports manually.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows us to compile all media coverage in one place and provides analytics to show the value of PR work.

  ### 3. A Great All-In-One PR Solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marissa E. | Director of Communications, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2025

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Before choosing Critical Mention, I researched several industry-leading tools. Critical Mention had the best features, the most inclusive list of media monitoring channels, and the ability to find and update contact information for journalists and reporters, as well as send out press releases and other important public communications. The cherry on top is the interactive reports. These reports allow us to easily monitor the reach, sentiment, and impact of our communications efforts.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

I wish that the search function were easier to use. Trying to determine if I'm using the best search criteria can be a little challenging.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's allowing us to quickly and easily monitor our media mentions, reach our target media representatives, and measure the impact of our efforts.

  ### 4. Critical Mention has been the perfect solution for my media monitoring needs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael A. | Public Relations Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

The ease of capturing, saving and sharing clips.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

There is not much to dislike. It has all the features i'm looking for.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

Critical Mention is the perfect solution for my media monitoring and reporting needs. I can easily download clips and share them in real-time. I use the reporting tools often to create professional documents showing the value of earned media for clients, sponsors, and partners.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I need to pull and share clips sometimes minutes after they air. Critical Mention makes is so easy.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Thank you for taking the time to let us know how Critical Mention has met all of your media monitoring needs! We're delighted to see that you enjoy our real-time mentions and appreciate the kind words you had to offer. We're happy to know we're the perfect solution for your brand.

  ### 5. Leveling Up Our Media Reporting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vesia H. | Communications Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2025

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

What I like best about CM are the analytics and reports that allow me to offer better informed counsel to those I support in their public relations efforts. It's also a great reporting mechanism for grants and accountability to stakeholders.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

I'd like to see to media mentions to go back further than two years.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ease of Reporting

  ### 6. Powerful but falling behind

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2025

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Breadth and depth. When we signed up several years ago it was the only system which tracked print/web/broadcast/socials.  Their license with Nexis helps us track global mentions we'd otherwise miss.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

OOB reporting is very shallow. We have to export the csv of our daily alerts into a different system to get meaningful data. We no longer use X/Twitter, but CM's roadmap has no plans to include Bsky; instead they want to sell us an additional product to monitor that. Also, it would be great if we could batch upload persistent identifiers (DOIs, etc.) to track in addition to names.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking mentions of our brand and staff to better capture our impact across various audiences and platforms helps us apprise stakeholders of the value and reach of our work.

  ### 7. Great way to see how your work is being featured

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2025

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

I like the ability to see the mentions and view how our work, messaging etc is being featured in local media.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

The ability to find our mentions could be better streamlined.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to monitor how the media is featuring our work within the City.

  ### 8. Love this software!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2025

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

The entire platform is user friendly and provides all of the tools needed to conduct media relations. Your account rep is fantastic, unlike competitors' products where you don't even know how to quickly get in touch with them.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

For social listening, I wish it had BlueSky and LinkedIn.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Finding the right reporters and monitoring all coverage.

  ### 9. Simply the best!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Scott J. | Public Relations Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

I have been in PR for more than 15 years and have tried a lot of media monitoring services, but none ever met my expectations ... until I found Critica Mention. It is the most comprehensive and user-friendly media monitoring service I've used in my career. The customer service is outstanding. Critical Mention has exceeded my expectations, and I hope to use their service for a long time. I've rebuffed any other services that have tried to pitch me over the years (and there have been plenty). I don't even waste my time taking a meeting, because I couldn't be happier with Critical Mention.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

I have not disliked anything at this point.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's comforting to know that I can count on finding an online article, a TV clip, or whatever other media story for which I'm looking whenever I need. The reports I'm able to generate make me look good with the brass as well ;-)

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Hi Scott, thank you for leaving such a wonderful review. We're delighted to see that you and your team can easily monitor all of your media coverage with Critical Mention. Thanks, again!

**Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2023

Critical Mention alerts me anytime one of our clients is mentioned in the media. It also allows me to download TV and radio clips into an MP4 that I can share with the client.

**Reviewed by:** Courtney J. | Realtor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2023

Critical Mention is the best tool to show upper-level executives and board members the value of your public relations and marketing efforts. This tool sets hard numbers for PR values to give real numbers that easily translate to show your reach in a dollar amount. I also love that I can show national and international coverage in reports.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Nothing. I really don't have anything bad to say about this product or service. Even their customer service is excellent and they offer great training programs for my staff.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The are allowing us to see the reach of our efforts and target specific reporters that take an interest in our organization. The national and international coverage is also helpful as we target international markets for tourism.

**Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2023

We love using Critical Mention because it truly feels like it captures it ALL. Plus, there's additional features on the platform that really help our agency stand out when it comes to reporting.

Not much to complain about! Sometimes the site is a bit slow when pulling large reports, but that honestly is likely a network error and not the platforms fault.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our representative from CM, Cailtin, is the most responsive and kind rep in the game. If there is a problem we can't solve on our end, trust she'll handle in within one business day. The platform is really easy to learn and we feel it most accurately captures our results.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ava P. | Corporate Communications Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

It's not the most user-friendly interface and the editing tool for broadcast clips can be a bit of a pain to use.

  ### 22. Such a Difference from other services!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Barb H. | consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

We've used other monitoring services before and they were clunky and hard for the clients to read and understand. Critical Mention makes obtaining clips so easy and the monthly reports look spectacular...we can add our agency logo and send it off to the client showing them coverage and value.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Sometimes it's a challenge to set up a search, but one email to our tech person and they've helped us build a better search term.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

We were referred to Critical Mention from a colleague who was using another service we were using, who had switched to Critical Mention. We since have shared the Critical Mention success with other colleagues and we have several of them now using the service as well.

Showing our clients the value of the media relations program! Our budget went up with clients once we could show them results.

**Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2021

It would be great if there was an app for my phone from Critical mention since many times I am away from my desk and to have to try and log in can be a pain.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

The ease of learning how to use the software is one added benefit of Critical Mention. I have been able to teach folks in our office how to use this in just minutes,

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The biggest problem that is solved is that I can quantify the value of the media attention that we have been receiving. Our leadership team likes to see the amount of stories that are generated weekly and monthly and I can generate reports showing that info.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Hi Tom, we're very thankful for your review. Thanks for sharing how you can track all of your earned media when breaking news comes in and how you build customizable reports. 

  ### 24. Best Media Monitoring Software

**Reviewed by:** Eric R. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2020

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Critical Mention uses up-to-date feeds of content and activity notifications from a large selection of media channels. I use these tools to monitor stories important to my clients, track mentions of the companies I work with by media outlets,s and monitor social media, blogs, YouTube.  When I have trouble finding a story, their 24/365 team helps me find mentions.  The customer service is the best -and I have used numerous services during my 30+ career.  

The software they use allows me to target specific keywords, mentions, or topics, and customize feeds to my liking.  The reports are easy to read and I can send links of relevant updates and alerts to clients.  I can store relevant mentions and/or posts for future reference and when necessary analyze findings with reporting features such as number and frequency of specific posts, impact on a client, etc.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

There is nothing that i don't like about the product.  It is truly remarkable and makes me look good to my clients.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

All organizations have a story to tell and a brand to manage. An important tool for the communications professional is access to a reliable media monitoring service. When you are trying to locate the best media monitoring service, your research will likely lead you to companies that monitor a single source of media coverage such as online news or social media. In order to get the complete view of your media coverage, it is important to choose a media monitoring service like Critical Mention that monitors all media sources.  They monitor local and national TV news programs, radio news programming, social media conversations, online news sources, and print publications.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The Global search engine for television, radio, and podcasts allows me to monitor both local and international media monitoring.  I can send my clients reports that analyze television, radio and podcasts and the platform enables me to search, view, and archive,

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

We love to learn that your clients enjoy the reports you put together in our Earned Media Suite, and most importantly, that it makes you look good to your clients.

They help me prove my results to clients.

  ### 26. Fantastic platform, fantastic team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ron H. | Senior Media Strategist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

The software is intuitive, easy to use, delivers comprehensive results at a very competitive price. Training my team on the platform, even tech luddites, has been easy.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

It's unfortunate that their archive only goes back two years, but two years is better than nothing.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We struggled, as a small agency, to deliver comprehensive, insightful coverage reports to our clients. Our clients now swear by our coverage reports.

  ### 27. Highly Recommend

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Craig S. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Easy to use with quick results.  Thorough monitoring - best service I've used!

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Not much negatives with the service. Only that some stations/networks do not have audience numbers.

Best in class service for monitoring coverage.  The thoroughness of the searches help me with accurately creating reports for clients of my outreach.

  ### 28. Perfect platform to show my clients ROI

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Critical Mention makes it easy to search for the clips I know made it on air and it makes it easy to find stuff I did not know about. The program creates charts to help me tell a story about the value of the coverage and the help team is quick to assist if I have questions.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

I wish there were ways to slice up the results so that I could quickly separate out the clips by TV station instead of doing it manually.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It makes it easy for me to show my clients the value of the time they spent on earned media. I work with the fire chief, for example. He likes to see that the time his team spent explaining something to a journalist was well spent. If I use Critical Mention to show him the value, he is more eager to use his resources again the next time.

  ### 29. Critical Mention Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

The customer service is the best! Also, Critical Mention is always improving!

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

the contact list needs to be improved. Some of the contacts that are shown no longer work there. It also has a limitations of newsoutlets.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For the public relations, they have given us access to directly email any reporters or influencrs. This helps me save time and efficency.

  ### 30. Critical Mention is very helpful

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** wendy e. | Freelancer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2022

We don't get all the news coverage.

  ### 31. Critical Mention is good in some ways, but very flawed

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2020

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

It monitors a lot of TV and radio stations. My customer service responds quickly to my emails and calls.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

The editing function is ridiculously flawed. I have to edit clips multiple times to get one that I can share with a client. The initial edit can be perfect, but then after I save it to my Files it has changed. It's ridiculous, considering how much I pay for CM. Also, I've had several instances where audio from various sources was unavailable because of a snafu on CM's end.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

Just understand that the editing function is subpar.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use it to record interviews that my clients do on TV and radio.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> We appreciate your feedback and are sorry you haven't been entirely happy with your experience. We strive to provide the best product and customer service in the industry and always welcome any feedback that helps us improve. Our Media Contact Database is indeed a new product, and through a mix of AI and constant human validation, we are updating thousands of records on a daily basis.

Again, Critical Mention is dedicated to giving each and every customer the support needed to get what they need out of the platform. Please reach out directly to us so that we can do everything in our power to help you get the most out of your experience with Critical Mention.

**Reviewed by:** Samuel M. | PR Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2022

CriticalMention is budget-friendly. It is also easy to set up searches and alerts, easy to compare against competitors since you have unlimited searches. Dashboards are easy to create as well.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

There are not many things I would change or something I dislike. However, it does require a large amount of understanding of boolean search queries and the rules associated with them.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

Just play around with it. You can see if the capabilities are what you are looking for.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Critical Mention has replaced Cision for monitoring our coverage, as well as all of competitors. Additionally, you can track relevant industry terms to know who is writing about them.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Hi Samuel, we're grateful for your wonderful review. It thrills us to see you share how valuable Critical Mention has been for you. We appreciate you letting us know how much you enjoy our alerts feature and monitoring capabilities. Thank you very much for sharing. 

  ### 33. Effective PR tool & easy to use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

We can get media coverage from across the country or localize it down to one individual station; the results are timely, easy to edit and the results are thorough to demonstrate ROI.  As far as assistance, we get fast responses from the CM team when we have questions.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

I need a little more help on social media tracking, and I'd like to see more specific market searches on the radio side and earned media value and audience numbers there.  But Critical Mention is always striving to improve an already great platform!

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

You'll have a great meeting with your Critical Mention representative, and I think you'll love the service!

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No problems really at all!  Once we were shown how to use the tools, it's been very easy to compile reports and coverage, and we can file more comprehensive reports.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Thank you for sharing how our Critical Mention Earned Media Suite allows you to easily track local and international mentions in real-time. Recently, we've added audience and publicity values to our radio mentions. If you have any questions about this update, please reach out to your dedicated account manager. Thanks again for the great review!

  ### 34. Very Helpful

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Critical mention quickly fetches media hits

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Some hits are missed, and the audience reach number is not exact.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It provides a way to view and share media hits allowing for easy accessibility and media monitoring for clients.

  ### 35. Critical Mention is a great listening tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Helen B. | D, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

The fact that Critical Mention dashboard is so user friendly and easy to navigate and that each account has a representative to assist with day-to-day requirements and support in times of upheaval.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

There are two issues that can use improvement. The first is the after-hours service, which can sometimes be difficult to get an immediate reaction to and/or from. The best way to contact the after-hours service is to call them. This can be time-consuming. Improvement is needed to responsiveness by email or online message service. The second issue is still having to vet through clippings and 'mentions'.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

If you're looking for a social listening and media monitoring tool, Critical Mention is among the best available globally. Account managers are friendly and the service overhead costs are well worth the investment. I have been using Critical Mention across multiple organizations and on behalf of multiple clients and always found their services and tools superior.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are closely monitoring social listening and engagement on behalf of our client and finding strategies to address the greatest concerns and inform future campaigns. We also monitor earned media advertising to identify where we can make the most of marketing and advertising dollars.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Helen, we're thankful for your wonderful review! Our team is happy to see that you love using our easy-to-navigate platform to help bring earned media results to your clients. We appreciate everything you wrote and will continue to provide the best service. Thank you!

  ### 36. Critical Mention is a helpful tool -- but could be more thorough

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amy W. | Public Relations Account Executive, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Really appreciate how Critical Mention gathers and consolidates clips. Sometimes it catches clips we weren't aware of. Definitely more thorough than Google Alerts.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Narrowing down the search fields can be difficult. I often opt for the Boolean search because I feel like the others are so finicky. Also, I dislike that when you have to plug in missed items to a report it doesn't populate the values.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We appreciate that it captures articles and mentions we aren't always aware of. But it has not been as beneficial for value tracking as we had originally hoped.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Amy, thank you for sharing how we've helped you track your clips. We highly recommend reaching out to your dedicated account manager to refine your searches and see all the metrics and values you can track within our platform. Thanks again for the review!

  ### 37. Non-profit organization new to media monitoring.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2020

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

We really appreciate the responsiveness of our dedicated account manager and how friendly and open they are to questions. As a non-profit organization new to media monitoring, they have been patient and receptive to all of our questions and feedback.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Coming from a large PR and Marketing firm here in the state, I have worked with other media monitoring platforms. With Critical Mention, I have noticed on numerous occasions that some of our clips/mentions are missed. I am either alerted to them by Google Alerts (which we used to broadly monitor prior to on-boarding with CM), or I know that they aired because we coordinated the opportunity.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

Critical Mention is a great tool for teams trying to understand their reach and sentiment in the marketplace. Their monitoring services are broad and thorough, and they are working on improving every day. The differentiating factor with Critical Mention is the customer service. They are bright, helpful, patient and always looking for ways to make your experience with Critical Mention easier.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving the need to see where we are mentioned in the media landscape. We are realizing how broad our messaging is and that we were missing over 50% of our mentions by trying to monitor our coverage manually.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Thank you very much for letting us know how helpful your dedicated account manager has been. It's our goal to make sure our clients get the assistance they need during any time of the day. We appreciate you sharing your coverage experience and are always adding sources to our platform. This year alone, we've added hundreds of broadcast and online sources to our platform. We'd be happy to help adjust and refine your searches, so please feel free to contact us so we can help provide the best service. Thanks, again!

  ### 38. Excellent Customer Service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Felicia K. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Critical Mention delivers exactly what I need in the realm of media monitoring and reporting. Clients are impressed with the detailed reports, and I'm able to find clips across platforms with ease. Most appreciated, however, is the customer service. My rep is responsive, efficient, and friendly. That's priceless.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

I don't have any complaints about Critical Mention.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Everything is in one place--all platforms and social media.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Felicia, thank you very much for sharing how you and your clients are thrilled with Critical Mention's earned media monitoring services. It excites us to read that you're fully utilizing our media reports feature and that you truly appreciate the incredible work of our customer service. Thanks again for the incredible review. We appreciate it!

  ### 39. Friendly, Reliable, Fully-Equipped Tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Regi S. | Staff Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Critical Mention has EVERYTHING! There is every feature I didn't know I needed but am glad is there. From being able to filter the different media outlets to the potential time posted to changing the keywords, Critical Mention makes it so possible to search for and find a video clip that was difficult to find before! I also love that there are so many customization options, even down to renaming those on your contact list to send a video to. The analytics are comprehensive and great. It's a very easy and thorough tool to use! (Ryan McGreevy is also the best! He's such a fun, friendly, approachable, and helpful staff member! Happy that he's the one who's assigned to help us!)

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

If there was one small room for improvement, it would be that Critical Mention could detect someone in a video and pop up that way, especially for times when the name of the person wasn't mentioned in the video clip. It's not able to pick up every video that my boss is in, but that's because it goes off of the keywords that are mentioned in the video, and that's understandable. I just have to do a little digging to find the video, but it would be nice not to have to do that.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

If you need a reliable, accurate, and easy tool to manage or influence your organization's social media interactions, Critical Mention is the way to go! But really take the trainings and play around with the site to get a better idea of all the different features there. Once you do that, it'll undoubtedly maximize not only the tool but how you can easily target or cater to your audience!

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Through Critical Mention's features, I'm able to locate video clips that I need but did not show up right away because none of the keywords were mentioned in the video. I'm also able to select which parts in a video that I would want and clip it to download. I like being able to trim a specific part or person.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Regi, thank you for sharing how Critical Mention has every feature you never knew you needed! Our team works hard in providing the best platform, and we are all so thrilled to see how you appreciate everything from our search filters to our comprehensive analytics. Ryan much appreciates your thoughtful mention! We're grateful for all of your feedback and are continuously updating the platform to provide the best service out there. Thanks, again!

  ### 40. Game changer

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

We use the alerts feature and start our days with a rundown of all our agency's mentions. Huge timesaver, and it's way more accurate than Google Alerts.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

I dislike when, to see the video clip, I have to log in to the CM website to do so. I would LOVE an app.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

Monitoring: If you have frequent mentions and a large geographic span, this will save you SO much time!

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm able to run reports and stats on the coverage we're receiving and saving tons of time not digging through news sites.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> We appreciate your thoughtful review and are thrilled our Earned Media Suite is a game-changer for your administration. Thank you for recommending our services to others and sharing how helpful our reports feature is. 

  ### 41. Principal, Social Impact Communications Firm

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sharon G. | Principal, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

It's easy to use. Intuitive and support to answer questions is very prompt.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Not much to dislike. We really like the platform.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking coverage for clients has become easier and better. May be saving money but not sure yet. We are new users. We are more productive so we've probably saved money in that aspect.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Sharon, we appreciate you taking the time to share how the Critical Mention platform helps your communications firm track media mentions. We're delighted to see your experience tracking media coverage for clients is superb. Thank you!

  ### 42. Solid tool to capture earned media

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dustin D. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Easy to create attractive media reports for all mediums. The service also maintains your electronic clips like a library.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

The search function can be a little glitchy for radio/TV monitoring.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

Really look at  visual appeal of the reporting function, as well as the ability to search by markets.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Critical Mention allows us to track our earned media across multiple markets which  is particularly helpful when a story is repeated in multiple markets across the nation.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Hi Dustin, thank you for letting us know about your experience using our Earned Media Suite. We're delighted to see you enjoy creating customized reports on our platform. If you're in need of help with your searches, please reach out to our 24/7/365 support.

  ### 43. CM has been a great tool for our department!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

I like the daily digest with our mentions coming directly to me each work day.
The ability to edit television mentions.
Just the tools available with the Crititcal Mention platform.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Not being able to access full articles directly from newspaper sources that charge for online subscriptions.
There is a process in place to handle this with just a text article so that makes it a little better.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The number of media mentions about our College both nationwide and internationally.
Yes, I am more productive.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Hi there, thank you for letting us know how Critical Mention has helped your department edit TV mentions and stay on top of them with our daily digest alerts feature. We highly recommend you reach out to your dedicated account manager to see how our Licensed Content service allows you to track paywalled online subscriptions. We'd love to get you started! Thanks again for the wonderful review.

  ### 44. Critical Mention has been incredibly helpful!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matthew K. | P, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

I love getting real-time updates about the articles and broadcasts in which my boss is mentioned.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

The only thing I dislike is that I can't automatically download a video clip directly from the mention. (However, maybe I can and I'm not aware!)

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Without critical mention, I would be manually going to each news site in our district. CM compiles them for me and that's a huge help!

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Matthew, thank you for sharing how Critical Mention has been keeping you and your team informed on your real-time mentions. We're thrilled to know we're a huge help, and we strongly urge you to reach out to your dedicated account manager so they can show you all the various ways you can download clips. Thanks again for sharing!

  ### 45. Jordan's Critical Mention Review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jordan W. | Director Media Public Relations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

The thing I like best about Critical Mention is its ability to clip radio and tv clips of my clients when they appear as guests for interviews.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

The thing I dislike the most about Critical Mention is that after 90 days clips disappear and can no longer be replayed. It makes it hard to revisit them for year end clip reviews for clients.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The biggest problem I'm able to solve with Critical Mention is providing fast download of tailored interview clips around my clients' hits. I'm then able to save those files and share them with the client so they can then repurpose on social media and through email listservs to donors, highlighting the influence and reach of their work.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Jordan, Thank you for sharing how much you like our broadcast solutions.  Our suite allows users to keep clips forever. Please reach out to your dedicated account manager to learn how you can save your clips so they last in your records for as long as you wish. We'd love to help out. 

  ### 46. Great Platform!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Critical Mention is a great platform for monitoring our TV clips.  Ryan our account manager is great and very helpful.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Sometime the platform does not find the clip based off the closed caption of that particular station.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Critical Mention has saved hours searching for clips as well as provides the Ad value and reach which fantastic!

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Hi, thank you for sharing how much you love our Earned Media Suite. We're so happy to learn that you've saved hours of searching for clips using our platform. If you'd like to track a specific station, please reach out to Ryan, your account manager, so we can add it to your saved search list. Thanks again for sharing how we help you track your TV clips. 

  ### 47. Critically Awesome

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Critical Mention is the industry standard for capturing earned media hits. The tool balances price with performance — serving as the silver bullet for professionals.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Honestly, there really isn't anything bad I can say about Critical Mention. The platform can be a little buggy with the Safari browser, but that's really it.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Prior to using Critical Mention, we used a local media capturing service. This made us miss out on placed stories and, ultimately, fall short of client goals. 

Since we've switched to Critical Mention, we've never had a problem. All of our hits are captured and backed by robust data that help inform our reports.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We're beyond excited to see that our Critical Mention Earned Media Suite helps you capture all the earned-media stories you need to reach your client goals. Thanks again! 

  ### 48. Critical Mention is one of our most important tools to demonstrate our value to executives

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Being able to benchmark our value in dollars as well as exposure. Critical Mention allows us to see what works and what doesn't in real-time. In a business centered around sales, Critical Mention allows us to prove our worth to executive-level team members in an easy-to-see way.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

I wish there was a way to have a little more context around ad equivalency. I would like to be able to explain why some clips are worth $400 versus $4,000. I know the DMA and viewing time impact it, but more context would allow me to explain it better when asked.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It can be very difficult to quantify the impact of a public relations team...Critical Mention gives us the ability to do that. As I've said previously, it gives us the ammunition needed to defend our worth in an industry all about sales. It lets us show how we are generating value even when it isn't always reflected at the checkstand.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Thank you for letting us know how we are one of the most important media tools you use. We're so happy to see that you are utilizing our platform to demonstrate the value your team generates, to your executives. If you'd like to learn more about our analytics, please reach out to your dedicated account manager. Thanks again for the kind review.

  ### 49. A good media monitoring tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2022

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

The ability to find most media coverage and easily drop it into a report

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

Not user-friendly in terms of figuring out the right search terms. Misses somecoverage

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

It's worth giving a try

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ability to easily see how we're doing and share results with clients

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience. We love that you can successfully create reports of your earned media mentions. We'd love to help refine your searches so that you can track all of your mentions, so please reach out to your dedicated account manager so we can help you right away. Thanks for sharing how our Earned Media Suite has helped you and your clients. 

  ### 50. Senior Public Relations Manager

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Erin H. | Senior Public Relations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Critical Mention?**

Critical Mention provides the ability to switch from keyword searching to boolean searching, allowing greater control to filter results to find exactly what you are looking for. Being able to integrate social media listening into PR reporting is a huge bonus and something our clients have enjoyed immensely. The reporting has been another huge benefit. Being able to clearly present coverage, provide hits in different sections, paired with the ability to create a template for each client has been very successful. Lastly, the metrics and graphs for the reporting have saved an exuberant amount of time when presenting results to our clients.

**What do you dislike about Critical Mention?**

It can be challenging to find placements in smaller trade publications and nice media outlets. Often trade publications only post their monthly issues online through a PDF which Critical Mention is not able to scrub for these mentions. The media database is new and still growing, so at this point not 100% reliable as a sole source to research and obtain media outlet contacts.

**Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:**

The platform provides all the tools for news monitoring I need. The customer service is excellent and always available to quickly help if additional assistance is needed.

**What problems is Critical Mention solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With unlimited searches, I am able to both track current client coverage/placements as well as monitor competitor publicity, as well. This offers greater industry insight and better planning for my clients.

**Official Response from Priscilla Osorio:**

> Erin, thank you for sharing how you track and measure client and competitor earned media with Critical Mention. It excites us to know that you're fully utilizing our templated reports feature and using our top-of-the-line analytics to measure your earned media. We appreciate your feedback!
