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

Reasons for switching to Overcast

Dead links, comments, and changes over email and messages were exhausting. With Overcast, everything is the one place.

Vendor Response

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

Simple to use review and approval system

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.

Functionality

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.

Vendor Response

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.

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.

Vendor Response

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.

Easy to use and easy to work with

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.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

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.

Vendor Response

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.

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.

Vendor Response

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!

Nothing that comes to mind. Overall, me and the entire team had no significant issues while using the software.

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.
