Overall Satisfaction with Wiredrive

As a one-person shop, eight of the twelve companies I represent provide Wiredrive for me to use in sales. While my clients acknowledge Wiredrive as the gold standard in delivery methods, I enjoy the ease of manipulating the spots and previewing the finished piece. I also like the fact that I can change or update the link after it has been sent. Thus, it addresses the problem of last minute changes and updates. I also keep links as templates so that if I need a particular style or line up, I can reference a previous link.
  • Wiredrive organizes the content for easy selection for reels. I am also able to add a reel while I am previewing it - this saves time.
  • Wiredrive's tech support is remarkable: someone with a name calls me back immediately with easily understood solutions. The techs are patient, as well, and I never feel rushed or unschooled.
  • The analytics are priceless in timing my follow up. Knowing or not knowing if someone has viewed the work or forwarded the link to team mates allows me to be timely and effective
  • The greatest problem I have with Wiredrive is the interaction with iTunes for screening in a group. The download protocol and rearrangement of the spots is awkward.
The companies with whom I work that do not use Wiredrive use Simian, Get-A-Reel and in one case, a proprietary platform designed in house. These systems are not as fast, the content not as well organized and the analytics not revealing. These are the issues I bring up with these companies and the questions I would pose to a prospective user.

Overall Satisfaction Continued

  • Positive timing on follow up, thus increased sales efficiency.
  • Positive flexibility in updates and changes.
  • Swift almost real time delivery allows content to be viewed during discussions.
  • Get-A-Reel,Simian,Ad Beast,Propriety systems
Again, the analytics of these other systems were vague, but more urgently, the organization of the content was awkward. In some situations such as Get-A-Reel, I cannot save links to use as templates, thus I have to rebuild each reel from the beginning.
