I liked how detailed the results were, and how much data it provided. We were able to do search results on our client and all of its competitors, and see exactly how many articles it was mentioned in, how many times per article, what outlet it was featured on, how many hits it got, and the media value of the article/outlet.

I did not like how it could sometimes be broad, and it didn't explicitly tell you how to narrow down your results. For example, I searched for one of our clients named Albert, a technology company, and when I first searched, I had over a million results and most related to Albert Einstein, which was obviously not very helpful.

A large selection of markets and channels. Gives you the CC and ratings numbers conveniently placed on the left side. Searching for something specific is also really easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Slow navigation through the shows. Making everything flash based is annoying when the page crashes and you have to research. Cutting clips and retrieving them is also inconvenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Provides data for various industries to analyze and to find the potential pool. Good customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Expensive to buy and sometimes you may not find the results satisfactory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A few features are really helpful in PR, share of voice and competitors comparatives for example give a broad image of the state of a company in the news. Usually used for tracking coverage and monthly/quarterly reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not being able to compare the same company as a trend over time in the same graphic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best feature of iQ media is its wide data base. No matter how old or recent the clip is or how big or small the broadcaster is, I have almost always found what I was looking for. Sure, there have been a few instances when I haven't been able to find a certain clip but overall its a great database. It is also fairly early to use. i had thought editing a clip would be hard but it is super easy and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Search options could be simplified. You need to search in a certain way using ", someone who is new to it might not be able to figure this out on their own. Sometimes it is difficult to find clips even though they have been on air. And lastly, the way the website looks is a little jaded, it feels old. It can also be really slow sometimes, I don't think it was my internet connection because other websites used to work just fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program is simplistic and easy to read all of the information of your choosing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program can be slow, delayed, or not displaying the most current information. While what it shows is still relevant, it’s not always up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to use different mediums (social engagement, tv advertisements, grass roots campaigns) to track engagement of our various campaigns and the ability to measure up against other companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find it difficult to navigate through much of the data/analysis section, but once I figured out where I wanted to go, I just bookmarked that very link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Truly customer focused and not pushy about always trying to upsell you on other features. Contact was straight forward which was appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing! I am happy so far with the service. One thing I would like is to be able to customize the look of my alerts more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how they have the capability to send me streamlined reports every morning with TV, print, online, blog and social media coverage. I also like how it gives me direct links to see the story and the impressions and publicity values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Coverage has to be in the markets so if it's not then we miss coverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoyed that you were able to track your brand, demographics, and media type. The ability to see all of those variables on one screen is extremely valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I disliked the sponsorship measurement tool. I didn't feel as though it met my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Iq media completely empowers me to grab all the data and build the reports I need. Interface is completely user friendly but when I need to reach out to them, their customer service is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tv stations are spotty and sometimes there is missing content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is endless stuff to find on iQ media. But that is about it. For example; you can find hits from all the different news networks. You can also find stuff from cable shows as well. If you want something from TNT its there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The overall look and feel of the site. Outdated and its very hard to comprehend and use. The site looks like it hasn't been update or given a new looks since it was launched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have utilized IQ Media as a clipping service for media. I love that they provided me with breakdown of coverage from summary to impressions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't say that at this moment I dislike anything of the service. IQ Media has met my standards for what I needed out of the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IQ media is an immediate tool in a crisis. It helps us quickly identify the scope or potential scope of an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Learning curve was difficult at first. I had to attend a few sessions to get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was so excited when we switched from our previous media monitoring vendor to iQ media. iQ media told us that their product focuses on media intelligence vs just simply media monitoring and they were not kidding. This software allows me to go back further in time. I get instant access to the media content from the exact date and time that I need it from.
The reports are beautiful. I can share them as is to the executive team and with our customers. Not only does iQ Media help my company better analyze media, social media, broadcast spend, brand sponsorship, etc. - it also helps us show our clients that we are successfully getting their content and brand the coverage they demand.
I found the previous vendor (Cision) we worked spent more time telling us how much better their product was, than demonstrating that this was true.
The account team is always available when we have a question, the software runs seamlessly and it was the best decision my company made when they switched to iQ Media Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am mad that my company didn't find iQ Media before we started working with Cision. iQ media cares more about their customers and gives us individual attention with a more intelligent and intuitive solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
