Yamdu

Yamdu is a good choice if you work in a professional setup, where teamwork is important, where big crews have to be handled. If you only have a few crew members in small projects, the toolset might be a bit overloaded

• Customized production schedule and easy management.
• Total financial control of the project in all areas.

• The interface can be a little overwhelming sometimes, since there are so many options available
• I wish there was true mobile support so the app could be used during production
• The cost was ultimately too high for me--I wish there was another, more affordable tier for smaller production houses

What you see is what you get. It's easy to start working when you setup your first project. Also team members do not need many new to learn skills to work with the basic functions. Really incredible is Yamdu's help center. It is always available in the right corner. A lot of topics are covered with video links. If you need personal assistance, you can write a message within the help-box and Yamdu's crew is really fast in responding!

This is one of Yamdu's strongest points.

At the time, there really wasn't anything else like Yamdu. Especially as, in Celtx's case, at that time they weren't doing Excel/CSV exports of shot lists in the A/V format, something we required for what we were shooting. I understand that StudioBinder has increased its featureset the past few years, but Yamdu always felt like the most robust option and more familiar with the film/tv world.

• Positive impact, centralized place with some good tools for film productions
• Negative impact, not that flexible and as expected and strict pricing policy with little flexibility
