"Awesome tool for PR pros"
5/5
What do you like best about Propel?

Propel is a great way to help streamline pitching. Their free platform is incredibly robust with lots of fantastic capabilities. Their paid offering is a great value as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

More tailoring capabilities. For example, since it already tracks who opened and who didn't open your pitch, and how many times, to be able to send a targeted follow up to those who read the original pitch 2+ times but didn't respond, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game-changing tool for PR professionals"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Propel?

I love that you can see other colleagues' results, who they have worked with, and I love the charts it provides (for internal and external/client use) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

Sometimes it lags on time. For example, it may show you haven't pitched anyone today, but you have. It sometimes takes up to a day to show information, which can be frustrating when you're working on something time-sensitive and need to see data from your team. They also have some work to do on their follow-up options. It's hard to use their version of this function when you're following up with multiple contacts at once.

Propel's PRM software is an integral tool for media relations. We're able to track opens and clicks, monitor success rates, and create more meaningful relationships with journalists...in less time. Their media database is quickly rivaling Cision's and their new media monitoring services help us further serve our clients. Their comprehensive suite of services is a must for PR pros looking for an edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best PLM platform for emerging companies"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Propel?

Item and change configurations can be easily customized based on organizational needs. weather your team is small or large Propel can help you mange your product and document the change process very easily. The best part is that Propel is the BEST PLM resource for end users. Often times when you have new members joining the team, coming from other expertise; its very difficult for them to get acquainted with your teams change control process. With Propel however, this all becomes just too easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

Some areas within automated supplier sharing and visibility can be troublesome. However, Propel is working on new release which should solve this issue. Some admin level pains due to Salesforce complexity, this does not affect the end users but mainly pain for the few admins that have to deal with it. Although reporting is an amazing feature, its not as users friendly as desired. Part of this complexity could be due to salesforce integration also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
