Founder Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Media Sharing & Management Software Available " July 3, 2021 5.0 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. With Overcast, everything is the one place. Review Source Response from Overcast HQ July 6, 2021 Adrian is a superuser and has influenced our product roadmap in the past. He can expect to see comment exports in Q3. MJ Martin J. Director of Media Operations Technology Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple to use review and approval system" July 2, 2021 5.0 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. Reason 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 Response from Overcast HQ 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. AC Alice C. Head of Operations Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and excellent customer service" August 19, 2021 4.0 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 Response from Overcast HQ 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. MM Mary M. Project Manager Translation and Localization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for video localisation" August 20, 2021 4.0 Improved efficiency in sharing / reviewing videos, positive experience overall. Pros Enables sharing of videos with ease. Review commenting is efficient and easily tracked. Cons No specific dislikes. Some tweaks in workflow identified, taken on board by Overcast and solutions found. Review Source Response from Overcast HQ August 27, 2021 We are always happy when super users like Mary and her colleagues ask for tweaks - if we can make the experience better we will. NA Neil A. Director - Client Services Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use and easy to work with" May 24, 2021 5.0 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. Reason for choosing Overcast The personal service, and easy to use interface. Review Source Response from Overcast HQ 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. MC Michael C. Broadcaster Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Value for Money" June 22, 2021 4.0 Pros The product is good value for money, and very easy to use, user friendly Cons Can be slow at times to download audio.... Review Source Response from Overcast HQ June 25, 2021 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! JS John S. Producer Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Asset Management" July 2, 2021 4.0 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 Response from Overcast HQ 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! PP Paul P. Co-founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A pleasure to work with" May 26, 2021 5.0 Great people to work with. Pros The software is really user friendly, both for myself as an administrator but also for all of our users. Cons Anything that we didn’t like / or had no purpose for us was removed from our customised version. Reason for choosing Overcast We went with the people who we’d be working with. Review Source Response from Overcast HQ 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... IR Ivan R. Product Management Broadcast Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great share platform!" May 24, 2021 5.0 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. Reason for choosing Overcast Overcast is more than just video. Review Source Response from Overcast HQ 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! MP Madhuparna P. Content Strategist Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A very handy software for video sharing" May 25, 2021 5.0 Very good. Pros Our team really liked the ease of use. It really helped to collaborate with other team members and share content. I personally loved the features of the platform. Cons Nothing that comes to mind. Overall, me and the entire team had no significant issues while using the software. Review Source Response from Overcast HQ 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.
