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 Pair development Knowledge Shares Bug-reporting and explanation Audio/voice integration WITH video share Makes gaming very fun Copy/Paste works flawlessly from my computer to another screenhero users computer. Screenhero works with screen-recording software, so not only can I pair-develop, I can take video of a pair development session. I can't think of any reason why Screenhero wouldn't be suited for any situation. I would say that they need to bring back the option for a native app capability outside of the slack app like they did during the Slack merge transition. 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 EASY! A simply to use and understand UI cannot be understated. I needed no additional training and did not need to reference and support documentation to pick up and use Screenhero with my team. It's easy to add new folks to connect with, easy to call them, easy to end the call, and so forth. I would liken the UI to a more sleek Yahoo Instant Messenger (for those who remember that service!). Painless. I rarely ever had connectivity issues or grainy audio/video quality. When I did occasionally encounter that (rough guess maybe 1 in 20), it usually cleared itself up after a few seconds. I think it's only ever "locked up" on me twice, meaning I had to disconnect and reconnect in order for the issue to be resolved. Overall, a painless experience. 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 I'm not sure how to sign up right now. I guess until it's integrated into Slack as a full-blown feature it'll stay like that. Most probably it'll be monetized as an extra feature. This is true for most of the remote management solutions: security concerns. Slack had some break-ins in the past, giving remote control to your computer can be dangerous. Another issue which is problematic for similar product too: watch out if there's an extra remote server is involved. Say you and your client you want to guide with Screenhero both log in to a remote server through RDP. Both the RDP and Screenhero capture hotkeys, and depenfing on if your other peer logs into screenhero on the server itself or his machine, things like copy-paste won't work because the RDP is interfering with the remote management software.

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 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 Screenhero being acquired by Slack was honestly the primary reason we selected it over
TeamViewer . Our organization is heavily invested in Slack's enterprise solution, so choosing Screenhero was a pretty easy decision. On top of that, Screenhero delivers very well on its core competencies, so there doesn't seem to be a very good reason to not use it given its relationship with Slack.
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 Easier way to have conversations! It's quick and simple. Skip the toneless slack conversation and hash it out over ScreenHero! Screen sharing has been very beneficial. Read full review ScreenShots
