We were using PR web initially and were actually happy with the results. It was only for the US market and the release was automatically picked up by some outlets (nothing major) but it did a decent job. We investigated the option of international publishing and they suggested PR Newswire. They required a membership and the fee to send the release to mexico only was about 700 PLUS 300 just too add an image. They said that their reporting was going to be better than PR Web and that this service was better with a guarantee of publication from their parteras. Cut to the release being sent and their report being exactly the same as PR web. The release picked up by blogs and small sites with little to no readership. When we contacted the agent in charge of our account, he told us "you may want to create a google alert for free" and mentioned that their reporting only gave us the automatic postings like PR web. Mind that their service is 4 times more expensive. The release was sent on behalf of a client that is from Mexico and knows all about the Mexican media. Not one half decent outlet picked up or saw the release. Only one site on google reported found and was from a very small town in a small state in mexico. We contacted Cision to see they could do anything, as our client was furious and they had no way of helping at all.
Bottom line is that their service did not deliver what they promise. It's overpriced and will not get you anywhere near what you want.
