I get mildly frustrated that there is always something else that my account reps are trying to sell me. Let me try the product before up-selling.

Before diving into an expensive platform, first figure our what your needs are and what you are trying to capture.
Market intelligence, tracking customers' names in the news, finding new avenues for business.

Nothing negative about Meltwater I can think of!
Great choice
Targeted reach, tracking trends and who is writing about them. Insight reporting is top notch!
The powerful connection tools to industry professionals have proved invaluable. I use the platform as much--if not more often--to seek out new contacts and connections as I do to publish news releases. I liked the platform so much that I recommended its use to our nationally-scoped parent organization and we now use Meltwater across the country.
as a rapidly evolving business, Meltwater is often buying up companies in order to absorb the technology and functionality of those acquisitions into their own platform, and/or strike new contracts to use the resources of other companies. That's great, and does make for a very robust platform, but it has meant numerous changes to the functionality over the last few years, and the rapid changes have been hard to keep up with at times.
their customer service is really engaged and responsive, so the onboarding for the product was really enjoyable. They also offered a competitive price point for my organization (non-profit), which made it all the more attractive as a tool.
traditional and social media monitoring of all types are under one roof. It's great. Searching for regionally and topically-specific contacts are all in one place. Distributing news is easy and has excellent tracking tools. The platform is a time-saver, having all those functions in one place.
I thought the platform was user friendly and pretty straight forward.
The platform seemed very stale and not very easily customizable.
I encourage the company to make the User Interface more customizable. Different users can have different preferences for layouts, etc.
I used Meltwater to aid in our Social and Public Relations efforts BIOTRONIK.
Meltwater always has the most up-to-date media coverage.
It offen has glitches, such as broadcast videos idling and/or buffering.
We are efficiently capturing media coverage.
