Head of Operations Events Services ### "Easy to use and excellent customer service" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 19, 2021 Working with Overcast has been great, especially whilst adapting to digital events. They are hands on, supportive and the product does what it says on the tin. Pros No nonsense, user friendly, multi-functioning, easy client access, excellent customer service Cons Doesn't have some of the "nice to have" functions or full streaming capabilities (such as viewer data analytics). But does have everything we needed from a digital asset management point of view. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor August 27, 2021 Alice and her team have shown a great ability to adapt to a changing environment - especially doing live events during Covid lockdowns. We've gone on that journey with them and thoroughly enjoyed it. AC Adrian C. Founder Broadcast Media ### "The Best Media Sharing & Management Software Available " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 3, 2021 No dead links, sharing is easy, never had an issue Pros Easy for clients to use and access. Uploading, sharing, and time stamp commenting. Cons Exporting of comments so one doesn't have to go back and forth Switched from [Frame.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/148214/Frame-io/) [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) Dead links, comments, and changes over email and messages were exhausting.

Producer Media Production ### "Asset Management" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 July 2, 2021 The customer service is super. Very happy with it. Pros Constantly improving and evolving. Very easy to control permissions. Cons I would really like to be able to prioritise the file type of content transcoding. For example - once we load a piece of video we would like to transcode audio first and then and MP4 HD1080 35mb file. At the moment I dont think there is a priority option. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor July 5, 2021 John uses Overcast in many innovative ways and we always like to take his suggestions on board - look out for an admin transcode panel in Q3! MJ Martin J. Director of Media Operations Technology Media Production ### "Simple to use review and approval system" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 2, 2021 We needed a way to share content with clients in a more streamlined way than uploading a link and have the ability for them to make comments that can feed back into editors and producers. Pros We are implementing a whole new system and part of the requirements was a way for external clients to have access to work in progress and be able to make comments. This is easily achieved using Overcast and the integration with editing systems is fantastic. Cons So far everything is working as expected so nothing to dislike. Reasons for choosing Overcast Compared to other players in this market, Overcast are extremely agile and implemented a feature request within a couple of days before we had even agreed to purchase. The additional services offered such as media management and AI are not something we have explored yet, but having that as an option down the road is very exciting. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor July 5, 2021 Martin is one of those clients who knows exactly what he wants. We're delighted to have the chance to work with him and his team. MC Michael C.

Co-founder Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "A pleasure to work with" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 26, 2021 Great people to work with.

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor May 27, 2021 K2 knew what they wanted - but not the full feature set from day 1. We worked closely with the team to identify needs and optimise workflows. Great crew to work with... MP Madhuparna P. Content Strategist Apparel & Fashion ### "A very handy software for video sharing" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 25, 2021 Very good.

Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor May 26, 2021 Great to hear Madhuparna. Sharing video has historically been managed by engineers and video editors - so we knew we had to create a platform that everyone could use - like Google Docs for video. NA Neil A. Director - Client Services Marketing and Advertising ### "Easy to use and easy to work with" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 24, 2021 Overcast accomplished our goal of bringing four disparate asset management systems and the assets the held into one easy to use system, whilst minimising the pain of ingestion and standardising the metadata. Pros The features that really stand out with Overcast are (1) customer service and support, working with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was a true partnership and it was great to deal with real people rather sitting in a queue waiting for a response to your support ticket (2) intuitive interface making the software a pleasure to use rather than the painful experience we had with our previous software. Cons Overcast lacked some of the nice to have features that more established players had, but did have all of the core features we needed. But since using it we have already seen more functionality come on stream and are kept informed about further developments in the pipeline. Reasons for choosing Overcast The personal service, and easy to use interface. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor May 25, 2021 It has been great working with content creators with really high standards, who know what they want and are not afraid to ask for it. This is a great partnership. IR Ivan R. Product Management Broadcast Media ### "Great share platform!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 24, 2021 Nothing but great. Pros Ability to customize, ease of use, its ability to scale with ease as acquisition of content increases Cons It is small and minor however real time thumbnails previews. When editing it is relevant as you search for an edit point in a clip. Reasons for choosing Overcast Overcast is more than just video. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor May 25, 2021 FIS are at the leading edge of technology innovations - it's great to get this kind of review from someone that we really admire. Oh - and we are working on those thumbs!
