No incentive was offered 2 months summary: I've used plenty of software to manage my media projects before. Cerebro became a universal machine that can "eat" whatever I throw in. Plan projects, setup tasks, allocate resources, track progress, and archive results — everything without leaving the app. If you like to keep everything organized, not afraid of rather complex structures, and have time to understand and set it up — it might be an app for you. If not all of your employees are organization geeks, I suggest having a dedicated person who will oversee the app so that everyone else could use it with ease. Even though the software needs some time to get used to it, Cerebro offers 2months free trial + some help in "getting in", so overall, I think it's a great app with even more potential. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros -Complex task tracking. -Resource allocating, tracking. -Templates and automatization features. -Task centered collaboration threads. -Mirada - media review and annotation app. -Gantt chart -File handling. -Good customer support. -Media production App integrations -Price. -Mobile app and web platform — However, I used only the desktop app. #### Cons -Not so easy to "get in" — however, they do offer some tutorials and on-site trainings. -Not a good fit for small tasks as administrating them might take a significant amount of time. -Time tracking and management are mostly manual as time tracker does not register and report any activity. Simply, a stopwatch. #### Reasons for switching to Cerebro Needed more complexity in task tracking and report consolidation. Other Cerebro benefits were a nice surprise for me. --- ### Enables to manage the entire animation creation process in an organized way - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mayank G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Animation - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
