While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

Connectively -- it doesn't

I relied on HARO for years to find sources for article I wrote about finance, commercial real estate and other topics. I could always count on good responses (even if they weren't necessarily what I was looking for). But the Connectively substitute isn't any good. It takes hours for my query to be approved (whereas on HARO, I could submit an "urgent" query and select how quickly I wanted it to run). Also, the responses I've gotten are poor. With a recent query, responses were non-existent. Also, I don't like that I can't select responses geography. I write for American audiences, and while I have nothing against international sources, U.S. regulations regarding finance and CRE differ from those in say, the UK or Europe. This was a horrible move for HARO and Cison -- and as to the name, "Connectively," well, the site doesn't do a very good job of connecting this writer with the sources needed for articles.

Unfit for purpose. Terrible replacement for HARO.

The transition from HARO to Connectively is abysmal. The results I am seeing in my feed are completely irrelevant to my areas of expertise and both email notifications and pitching have been paywalled for subject matter experts.

The filtering is pointless as it doesn't seem to work correctly and its full of AI spam. Hope the monetisation was worth it. I, and I'm sure many other Subject Matter Experts, will now leapfrog the platform entirely.

Abysmal.

In transitioning from HARO to Connectively, the platform deleted countless responses from sources, including detailed responses to interview questions. The sources' contact information is also gone. This was for articles that are in progress (and due NOW). Connectively's tech support can't bother to respond.

The new platform is awful. Sources are either all AI or wildly unrelated to my query. Many of my previous sources can't even get onto the platform and have stopped trying. This transition has killed off what used to be a valuable resource.
