"The Best Media Sharing & Management Software Available "

Overall: 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 and WeTransfer
Reasons for Switching to Overcast: Dead links, comments, and changes over email and messages were exhausting. With Overcast, everything is the one place.

Adrian is a superuser and has influenced our product roadmap in the past. He can expect to see comment exports in Q3.

We are always happy when super users like Mary and her colleagues ask for tweaks - if we can make the experience better we will.

Thanks Michael - we've been working hard on scaling the download solution and transcode - I think you will see a big improvement in the coming weeks!

"Simple to use review and approval system"

Overall: 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.

"Easy to use and easy to work with"

Overall: 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.
Reasons for Switching to Overcast: The need to consolidate with a single software provider, some of the previous systems were out of date and no longer supported.

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.
