    Curata
    I liked Curata, but it depends on the use case of how it will be used as to how effective it is for someone. If you are trying to curate content it works great. Had I not been so put off by the issue mentioned earlier I would have given more effort to learn the CMS, so I am not sure how effective it really is.

    For major "national" work often their financial compensation is in line. But for other generally smaller jobs I'm not sure it's a fair dollar amount. I'm not sure this is due to the client involved or a policy of Voices.

    Pros
    Curata
    • Curata is great at curating in content that is relevant to our audience. It is easy to add many different sources to the feed from all around the web and we've really seen Curata "learn" what we see as the most relevant.
    • The microsite we got as part of our Curata subscription is really fantastic. It's very customizable and we've been able to really craft it to suit our needs. There are so many different options available and our Curata rep has been really great with helping us cater each piece to our vision while making helpful suggestions along the way in terms of best practices. Plus, the word processor for publishing blog posts is so easy to use and I've had no issues with it so far unlike many other CMS platforms I've worked with. The Curata microsite is actually going to be replacing our current blog very soon - we love it that much!
    • I've had a great experience with customer service from Curata. Our rep is responsive and helpful and really good about not just answering our concerns but also providing feedback on our processes and giving advice for how we can improve.
    • Search capabilities within the curated content feed are fabulous. This is one area where I found other solutions to be lacking when we were going through the sales process, but Curata really succeeds here. It's extremely easy to find exactly what you're looking for in your content feed.

    • I'm not sure I'm given every fair chance at being booked for the various jobs for which I audition.
    • The amount given for payment for each job is mysterious. Often the same job from other sites is considerably higher there. I wonder if I'm being offered the amount I should be in a fair market.
    • Quite often the amount offered for long form jobs is way below industry standards.

    For all of the features we loved when we signed on like the microsite and search capabilities and also their customer service, we will very likely renew with Curata. We also really like the evolution we have seen of the solution, just recently a new integration with Marketo (also a vendor of ours) was announced which will be very beneficial to us in optimizing our email newsletters

    The main difference that made me choose Curata over Percolate is that it is not complex. Curata is easier to set up, to use, and to manage. It does not involve any complicated configuration to get the content and data you need. Curata technical support is amazing, to say the least. I am not an expert in the technical stuff, but I feel assured their team can help me out when I have an issue

    I use both Voices and Voice 123. Initially i got more bookings with Voice. Now, I'm liking Voice 123 better. It's more transparent and offers much higher payments for voice acting work.

    Return on Investment
    Curata
    • I would say neutral for us, but more so because of how we were using it and it being a stop-gap fix for us.

    • Initially, the income and opportunity for increased income seemed great. Lately the paid jobs I've received has fallen way off. This is happening as I'm getting a lot better as a voice actor. It doesn't make sense. It's like Voices is somehow keeping me from getting gigs through their service.
    • Often over the years I've been upsold to change to their more expensive plans. I've tried them with NO discernible improvement with opportunities for me.
    • I'm going to have to get better ROI in the near future or I won't be continuing my subscription.
