Can be expensive in terms of number of seats and/or tools used. > > We use Meltwater primarily for social media monitoring as well as for building media lists for our clients. ----- ### "Solid product" — 4.0/5 > **Tabytha** | *January 2, 2025* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, good customer support, and good features. > > **Cons**: I felt limited for reporting -- it was hard to compare more than two competitors and required me to create charts outside the platform. We no longer use Meltwater. > > Overall, it was positive, good product, but it was more than we wanted to pay. I should clarify that we didn't use the outreach tools or social media listening which would have made it more useful for us\! ----- ### "Meltwater - a great tool for gathering media sources and mentions about a precise topic" — 5.0/5 > **Antony** | *December 17, 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to quickly compile lists of relevant media articles and social media mentions based on a versatile list of keywords. > > **Cons**: Sometimes produces a lot of "noise" if the keywords are not fully developed or the tool hasn't been "trained" to our use > > Great way to get an insight into specific topics in news/social media, delivered regularly to our inbox ----- ### "Previous User" — 4.0/5 > **Karly** | *November 18, 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The social listening / social media analysis tool was helpful (before we switched products)\! > > **Cons**: I didn't love the user experience of Meltwater–it didn't feel overly intuitive. > > Overall, Meltwater is a solid platform and has good offerings. ----- ### "Meltwater is useful for tracking media and social conversations at scale" — 5.0/5 > **Rishikesh** | *January 9, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using Meltwater regularly to track media coverage and social conversations for multiple brands. The media monitoring feature is very useful for tracking online news, articles \& publications in one place. I also like how the dashboards can be customized based on brand or campaign needs. The tagging \& filtering options help in sorting large volumes of data and make reporting easier. It saves a lot of manual effort when tracking brand visibility > > **Cons**: Sometimes setting up complex queries takes time and needs trial and error. The tool can also feel heavy when loading large dashboards or multiple searches at once ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/123153/meltwater?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/123153/meltwater) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
