Never lose track of your projects again!.. if you have time and patience to set them up.
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.
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
Cerebro is the end-to-end solution for our animation design process which we could customize in line with our needs and fitted perfectly to our internal project management process.
PROSFrom planning to task distribution, resource management and progress monitoring Cerebro is an end-to-end solution platform for management of animation creation process. 60 days trial period is extremely beneficial for getting used to the capabilities of the entire platform when you go pro and the trial lenght is above the sector standarts.
CONSCerebro is a huge and complex platform to explore and apply the features according to our needs and it took nearly all trial 60 days period to get used to it. If there weren't this much long trial period we would waste 2 month pro period on exploring the product capabilities.
Reason for choosing Cerebro
Cerebro was the alternative with the most responsive and constructive support team.
Reasons for switching to Cerebro
Cerebro's support team was pretty responsive and effective in bringing solutions to the problems we have encountered. They gained our trust during this period and we decided to continue with them.

Cerebro
It was a positive experience learning about a program that is widely used in the film industry. It is efficient in terms of working from home to communicate and work with others dispute distance
PROSI was able to receive feedback on specific edits that I needed to do on my shots. I was given how close to completion my shots were percentage wise and able to input the hours I spent on said shot.
CONSThe feature that was suppose to lead me to the google drive to my obtain new shots was rather confusing. In the end I had to personally ask for the direct link in order to pin it as a tab to my web browser.

Cerebro helps us to work on the same virtual design process together
Cerebro is number one platform for managing the visual design process if you are a large team, if they update their Srudio package in a way to support scheduled server updates it will be better.
PROSVisual design process is a collaborative process and all the team members needs to make sure they they are in syncronization with the entire project process at any particular time frame. Cerebro makes it possible for a any particular team member to stay in line with the other team members with its mobile and desktop applications which are quite straightforward to be used even for the complex projects.
CONSStudio package's price which is $29 per user per month is quite expensive and it should support scheduled server updates which is crucial for cloud applications.
Reason for choosing Cerebro
Advance task tracking and reports were effective in our decision.
Reasons for switching to Cerebro
Cerebro had better / more advance task tracking tools.

Cerebro is great for managing the visual design development process
Cerebro solves our project mangement and collaborative working requirements in a complete way so that we can make sure that everyone in the team is in line and work in an interactive way thanks to internal communication.
PROSCerebro is a great all-in-one visual project management and tracking program. We can distribute the design process tasks among our team members and track the time they spent on the tasks easily. As an end-to-end solution for project management it provides the opportunity to communicate directly inside the platform which is amazing especially in these days where we work remotely as an entire team.
CONSThat would be perfect if there were a package with a storage limit between 50GB and infinite like 100GB with a price around $39 per month or a dynamic pricing option where user determines the value of the parameters and quoted accordingly.
Reason for choosing Cerebro
Cerebro had more specific tools that meets our industry specific process requirements.
Reasons for switching to Cerebro
Cerebro was a more specialized platform for our industry.

Great to have a management platform specific for visual design process
Cerebro is a great platform that we use in our visual design development process in our company. Our entire team could adopt to use the platfrom easily and helps us in a great way to work collaboratively on the ongoing projects.
PROSCerebro has great features that supports the management of development process of VFX and animation projects. We can access to the platform directly from desktop program and mobile application which makes it viable to acess to the management panel on the fly and follow the distributed tasks on the fly.
CONSPricing plans could be more affordable and uses way too much resources while running in the background. Could be a lighter software in terms of RAM usage.
Reason for choosing Cerebro
Cerebro had more advance tools for management of VFX and animation projects.
Reasons for switching to Cerebro

Improves the project management in a team
Highly recommended for team work and data/file organization and storage.
PROSIt is nice to use Cerebro for managing multiple projects at the same time. The board view feature brings all the information that I need in one page. One of the best things that I like is the drag and drop features which makes the file sharing and storage so easy. Cerebro is very useful in planning and assigning tasks between members.
CONSI experienced software freezing multiple times that require a restart. Other than that everything works fine.
