Flow Production Tracking 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

I really like how robust the software is, you can really tweak it to fit your needs. The userbase can get big without any slowing down.

The downside is that since you can tweak everything the basic version is not always suitable for your basic needs.

La nostra agenzia è cresciuta molto nell'ultimo periodo e di conseguenza sono aumentati i lavori da dover gestire. Shotgrid è lo strumento che ci ha permesso di strutturare e gestire agevolmente le nostre produzioni CGI di diverso tipo senza particolari complessità.

L'interfaccia un po' dispersiva richiede più tempo del previsto per saperla padroneggiare in modo speditoNella realizzazione dei GANTT ci sono limitazioni importanti che riducono le possibilità di progettazione

It solves a lot of problems for us by pulling together data management, task management and creative reviews all into one ecosystem. All off competing softwares don't do all three. This product works great for very large film/tv projects with 500+ users, consistent pipelines and dedicated resources for pipeline and production TDs to help set it up, and integrate into your workflows.

Basic setup and management can be convoluted. Once it's setup it isn't too much hassle or maintenance, but setup will be a long road. If you have a small/ studio, or work on projects that don't follow a consistent production process, then this is not the tool for you. There are some very befuddling pitfalls/limitations to the software that they have not fixed despite being asked numerous times - Notifications/email system is too basic. If you bulk edit 200 tasks, it's going to send 200 emails/notifications. There is also no easy way to subscribe to just the updates that you want. They keep trying to pitch their "follow" system which is like watchers in JIRA, except you can't automatically follow anything, you have to individually/manually follow items. It's archaic. - For a creative review software, their note system is poor. Basically a plain text box that doesn't understand bullets/numbering/other html editing. Also won't keep the text of a note and an image together. It always separates them out and puts the images at the bottom of a note instead of giving you an easy way to connect the two. - Their "super awesome" support tier for $50/per user/month - is anything but awesome. 90% of the time their response will be "you should submit that as an idea to our public roadmap and the product team will review" which in my experience means 'we're not doing that and never will'

I like how customizable it is to any pipeline and how it plays back daily’s. And it links to RV.

I wish they never changed the name. Other than that I have no complaints. I wish more people used it.

Probably the most useful tool I've found with ShotGrid is the keyboard shortcuts for zoom and pan. It is a simple thing, but makes reviewing images quick and easy. Secondly, the option to include images as part of the notes allows for more specific feedback (a picture being worth a thousand words, after all). Beyond this there is little more than sets ShotGrid apart from all other review software I'm familiar with, but it is certainly on par with other options, if not better.

There is nothing not to like about ShotGrid in particular. There are occasional times when I wish for more advanced features, such as leaving comments over multiple frames, but these are very much in the desirable rather than essential category, and are nothing that prevents me from providing full and essential feedback.

It is really easy to let us know the particular task that you have assigned.

Sometimes it will be more easy to use if keep minimal.

The sofware is used worldwide it's robust. The customization of this software is endless. The RV integration is a great feature

Too much pages to access the same information, it's a real maze. The software doesn't always reflect our own workflow, we need to adapt to this software although that is the software that needs to adapt to us.

Having a catch-all way to pull and push iterations on various assets really is incredibly convenient! It's much more efficient than versioning since the way that changes are tracked is more descriptive than just what files changed.

I used to think that some of the pages looked a little spreadsheet-ish but then it kind of dawned on me that in any high-volume production there's probably not really much wiggle room for things to have a more artsy-fartsy UX.

I liked being able to see the episode put together through the finished shots, it was easy enough to see what shots i had assigned and at what stage they were at.

I still found the interface a little confusing, i used it for 6 months and only used it really to see my shots and to see where they were in the animation pipeline but whenever i tried to do something new i would get a bit lost.
