Avid Interplay (discontinued) vs. Dalet Flex

The Avid eco-system is extremely reliable. There are multiple pieces working together to transcode, index, and archive media. Needing minimal maintenance and upgrades. Avid support is extensive and can be reached 24/7 at any time of the year. I recommend this product to any production team that wants a long term, reliable asset manager

Ooyala provides the opportunity to scale and manage multiple services and platforms in the organization with its integration services with internal tools like Slack and multiple other applications. Also, it helps you understand the views, reach, and engagement with the videos that help you define your next campaign strategy. In my experience, Ooyala could be less appropriate for managing URLs and unreliability may make you upload videos more than once.

• The same media can be imported more than once by multiple users, creating duplicates. A way for the user to be prompted that this media already exists before the import.

• Ooyala's integration with the ad serving platform is not as good in terms of user interface and user experience.
• The user interface could be improved (making it more like YouTube and Vimeo).
• The feature that provides scheduling could be improved to be seamless for publishing to Instagram.

Final Cut Server was a mess and wasn't really supported by Apple anymore when we were last using it. Avid has good support and we know they're going to be around and support their products. It's also just a better fit for our workflow in terms of producing content, as well as archival and storage solutions.

We have used all the rival products. Ooyala has been our favourite for years, but feel like they have stalled in new product development.

Incentivized

• Media can used as it's being ingested for quick turn arounds in live events.
• Direct posting social media features within the app.

• Ooyala certainly helped improve ROI.
• It also provides a strong capability for integration with other marketing automation tools for improved digital marketing ROI.
