"Best Media Monitoring I've Experienced"

5/5

What do you like best about Critical Mention?

If you're looking for a powerful platform that both monitors media (including broadcast) AND has an accurate media database Critical Mention is for you. This week alone Critical Mention's monitoring has saved my team twice by providing lightning fast alerts on some important news we were waiting for...this capability absolutely helped my team execute on something very important and made us look great to our client. Can't ask for anything more than that. In addition, we have a dedicated account exec who is beyond helpful. The support is GREAT and much better than what I've experienced in the past from larger players in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Critical Mention?

I have no complaints. Some of the media contacts need to be updated but their platform makes it very easy to request further information on particular contacts. So far, I have been able to get contact details for every reporter I've needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Media Monitoring Tool Out There"

5/5

What do you like best about Critical Mention?

It has been a very effective tool in helping my department gathering coverage on our clients and creating media reports. It's so easy to use when watching, editing and sharing coverage. Can't think of anything else like it, honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing comes to mind. It's overall an AMAZING tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Critical Mention delivers an Oscar-worthy performance for tracking media mentions effortlessly"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Critical Mention?

Critical Mention proved its worth when Lake Havasu City received a surprise shout-out during the 90th Academy Awards in 2018, with an estimated audience worldwide of nearly 27 million people. As a small-town destination management organization employing only seven people full-time, the free and fortuitous publicity we received completely caught us off guard. Without Critical Mention, we would not have been able to track and report the massive coverage we received from media outlets around the world. I like how easy it is to prepare custom reports to share internally and with stakeholders. The analytics are easy to understand and see at a glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Critical Mention?

We get too many weather forecast mentions for our city in our daily digest. There should be a filter so users can exclude this content. Also, I would like to see more social media coverage on the platform. The only option currently provided to us is Twitter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Critical Mention:

Make sure your account is set to receive the daily digest. This setting was turned off in our account for reasons unknown to us, and we weren't receiving it for some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

On the Media Room section of our website, we have an extensive list of links to stories that highlight Lake Havasu City tourism. We use Critical Mention to keep this page up-to-date. My supervisor uses it when he prepares reports to our Board of Supervisors. We have also used it to track the publicity we receive when we send b-roll of special events to TV news programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're also happy to let you know that more social networks will soon be added to the platform.

Thank you for sharing you and your supervisor's awesome experience while utilizing our customizable reports and detailed analytics features. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to continuing to provide the best earned-media service out there.

"solid tool, good capabilities."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Critical Mention?

You can filter your searches any which way you need, and if you know what you're looking for you'll eventually find it. Broadcast monitoring can be difficult, but this tool does a pretty good job with the transcription. You can also edit your clips to the relevant snippets, which I like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Critical Mention?

Sometimes the snippets are difficult to edit, or the timing with the transcript and the spoken words to match-up. It's a bit glitchy, and some of the UX feels outdated. But overall, It's still a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
