Likelihood to Recommend ShotGrid seems to be well suited for a video team for reviews and project tracking. It may not be well suited for Project managers who need to see the bigger picture of the project.
Read full review Projects are a lot easier to set up with GanttPRO than most tools that support a WBS, so although I've used GanttPRO for very simple projects, it's great for projects with complex WBS' and/or dynamic backlogs (using Agile methodologies). I've used it for long-running projects with multiple phases, where I needed to set up high-level plans for downstream phases (for budgeting) that got updated and modified based on outcomes from upstream phases.
Read full review Pros Uploads videos efficiently allows annotation within the video setting custom filters creating Gantt chart with inputs from each editor and animator adding versions to shot/asset adding assets to a shot Read full review Ability to add sub-tasks and change the colour coding to help organise work that needs to be done The option to link different tasks together (task dependencies) which helps visualise what else needs to be done along side the current task Viewing the duration it may take and the progress chart to help quantify and visualise your progress Read full review Cons Ordering comments made by different people by timecode/frame number, instead by the time and date the comment was made Being able to move an uploaded video from shots to assets and vice versa. Right now we have to re-upload but lose any comments made already if they were in the wrong place Custom filters are great but they could get a little confusing with all the options. Might help with guidelines or a place we could ask what we want and someone could answer with the best way to achieve those specific filters we want Read full review GanttPRO doesn't allow to add a subtask to the subtask taking away customization and flexibility for different use cases GanttPRO extends the tasks to the date of the subtask, so if the task as a whole takes longer than the subtask then you need to state it as such GanttPRO doesn't let you assign the materials to the tasks Read full review Likelihood to Renew For education, we can't see ourselves using anything else that comes at a cost
Read full review Usability It's UI/UX is very robust. There's a lot of functionality but it's not very intuitive or intuitive. I spend time with new hires and contractors to overview ShotGrid for a day and revisit after a week or two. Questions always arise down the line
Read full review Intuitive interface, clean, and nice design. As an online app, the data can be viewed on Windows PCs, Macs, and tablets. It saves the data very quickly (depending on the Internet speed) as if it is a locally installed application. Training is minimal, plus there is an extensive range of learning videos and topics in the GanttPRO learning center.
Read full review Support Rating The support for GanttPro is very good. I have no troubles reaching out for their customer support whenever I have questions, they respond almost instantly. I just hope that they will have live chat support for a real-time support experience on the user-end and can answer the questions in real-time.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Wipster had limitations on video uploads, which was a major drawback. One thing we liked with
Wipster was how we can see comments made in order on the timeline while watching the video.
Read full review GanttPRO is easy to use and just works. If you need to do something quickly or do a small project then GanttPro is a great tool to use. If you are managing a large project then I would consider using
Microsoft Project even though it is a more substantial investment overtime.
Read full review Return on Investment We spend less time going back and forth with different stakeholders on shots and assets We don't have to pay services that only provided trial versions There is unlimited video uploading which was not the case with wiz Read full review For class purposes, I would say that my project is running smoothly and I am able to keep my team on task. I like that you can blow up the Gantt chart and show everyone exactly where you are at with each task. Read full review ScreenShots
