Netvibes is an excellent service for someone who needs control over their news intake like me. It is a great solution to get to keep updated on your industry and personal interests. One thing I like about Netvibes is how easy its to set up your account with the platform. You have to signup, pick up your interests and you got your personalised news feed. You can also add new based on keywords that might interest you. You can also customise your dashboard using drag and drop feature and arrange them to your liking. The option to save articles or news from your dashboard is quite useful at times, especially when you're out of time and keep the article to read at a later time. There is a search feature in the dashboard in case you want to filter the news with a specific keyword, which is helpful. The pricing must be mentioned here if you only want to get the news and nothing else, youre free to use it forever. In premium options, you can get great support answers in 24 hours just by paying 2 dollars a month which is a hell of a deal. There is an advanced social and brand monitoring for business if you plan on going big with the premium plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brand monitoring is way too costly for any small business to afford. Even if you filter the results with keywords lots of unnecessary news will come into your feed at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
