Review Source Response from Southpaw Technology March 2, 2020 Diego, thank you for the review! We are glad you find the software useful in your operation. A quick note around setting up open source. Yes -- setting up the open source can be difficult but -- as you mention the TACTIC community is growing (which we are very pleased with) and we also offer professional services support to help. Southpaw also offers a suite of products which are all built on TACTIC. This is especially useful if an organization does not have dev resources. MS Mark S.

True asset tracking AND management. Don’t be fooled by the “other” off the shelf options, long term Tactic can be cohesive in any environment. Cons Learning curve can be high out of the gate but once configured it’s much more powerful then other solutions.

Its versatility and scalability streamline production workflows while providing a solid foundation for structuring methodologies. With its powerful API, TACTIC facilitates seamless integrations with leading production tools, enhancing collaboration across Adobe CS, video editing, and 3D design applications. Cons TACTIC's initial setup and upgrades may pose challenges, requiring careful management of customized scripts and code. While documentation availability can be improved, the responsive TACTIC team readily provides assistance. Although there is a learning curve, once configured, TACTIC surpasses other solutions in power and capability.

Co-Founder Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A business platform that opens up endless possibilities." January 29, 2020 5.0 Excellent, worked exactly as expected and full of pleasant surprises. Pros Tactic has the capacity to make any process an automated process, it is flexible and scales easily, and works perfectly as an intermediary between disparate products and the end user. Cons There is very little to dislike, but if i am forced to pick something, it would be the availability of documentation is a little bit of a chase.. having said that, the folks at TACTIC are more than willing to provide me with answers that i am unable to find on my own. Review Source Response from Southpaw Technology February 6, 2020 Thank you for taking the time to review. Your input is very important to us as we continue to refine and grow our TACTIC products.

Dir/Information Systems & Broadcast Digital Initiatives Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Workflow Automation and Production Management Tool" May 15, 2020 5.0 Overall, working with TACTIC was a pleasure, both from a technological and from a support standpoint. Pros Powerful, extremely flexible system for managing production workflows and all related digital collateral. The system enables you to easily formalize and structure your production methodology, and build automated triggers to move media files around, trigger transcodes or renders, etc. It has a robust API that allows you to build tight integrations with production tools such as Adobe CS, video editors, and 3D design applications. Cons The setup can be quite complex depending on your workflow and environment. Upgrades can also be challenging, depending on your level of customization, as you have to carefully manage internal scripts/code so that they don't get overwritten after a major release.

Potential and future users of TACTIC will also appreciate the details of your review and will help them get an understanding of how you utilize TACTIC in the media and broadcast industry.
