    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.

    If you're trying to quickly create a high volume of simple scenes to communicate an action or scenario, Storyboard That will meet the basic need without requiring a lot of learning time. This software would also likely be a simple solution for anyone who needs scene templates, icons, or other elements. Though I've primarily used Storyboard That for personal use in film projects, I could also see how the stock images might be helpful in my professional role as a Product Manager for creating visuals to illustrate user personas and user stories.

    Cons
    Autodesk
    • 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

    • Some of the items have built-in editing capabilities (i.e., changing the sky color in a background), but others can barely be edited, and the distinction isn't apparent.
    • The visual style of the site seems dated and "clunky".
    • Doesn't integrate with any other programs.
    • Poorly optimized for mobile: the options are hard to access, button sizes are inconsistent, etc.
    • Some aspects of the site navigation aren't intuitive, like how to exit out of search results.
    • No ability to change angles or perspective; everything is completely flat.

    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

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Autodesk
    • 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
