The best project management software I've used so far!
Ftrack is very powerful and highly customizable which makes it an amazing tool for project management. What stood out for me is the fact that you can either see all of your project in 1 view or select which projet(s) you want to see and manage. Additionally, their reviewing tool, for both images and motion, is very efficient. It was built for collaboration in mind and you can tell!
CONSBecause of it's customization capabilities, there's a bit of a learning curve to learn your way around the software. Additionally, the notification center could be improved. While it works and do the job fine, it's not as fluid as other internal communication tool that I'm using. A desktop app would be an amazing addition.

my super awesome review
Ftrack became a central placed production tracking and automation platform in our studio. | We are considering it as a main information source about our project Now we are working on DCC integrations improvement
PROSFiltering and version control are genious Overview and dashboards are great Actions and ability to customise product with it
CONSDCC integrations are poor. Project navigation inside the integrations are terrible. No filtering / search available No asset Management / Asset Loader provided Houdini integration doesn't have an installer at all^ documentation is not actual Files and components management system could be better Multiple Reviewable components / preview images are needed Lack of PDF support Limited interface customization possibilities Notes and internal communication functionality is poor (f.e. user mentioning, rich text support, attachments copy-paste, limited formatting options e.t.c.) Pooк Connect Application functions
Reason for choosing ftrack
Frack is more flexible in terms of project structure
Reasons for switching to ftrack
Cerebro didn't fit our needs

Good, reliable and room for customisation.
Good resource visibility and tasks overview. Like that a lot is customisable and can be adjusted to different needs. Good interface.
CONSHard to navigate sometimes with too many clicks. Wish a lot more fields and areas could be customisable or at least easier to customise by anyone, rather than only an IPA developer. Review system, particularly the client one to be more user friendly (look out for Proof HQ). Wish that Asset Builds could be managed in a centralised system outside of each individual projects and then linked to individual projects. Client Facing Project plans, with clear actions for clients.
Reason for choosing ftrack
I think an alternative option would have been to create our own system/platform. I think it would be great to incorporate finance and admin aspects in the future. Quotes, rate cards, link these to project budgets. Manage POs, Invoices and Payments. This could be a great integration. We currently have to manage this separately which is not ideal. This would add great value to the system!

Key project management for animation
Customer service and support has been excellent. Extremely happy with the service and the product.
PROSIts ease of use... being able to schedule, track and review all projects is critical for an animation studio. Being able to then supply the client a review to feedback and the whole team seeing it means it reduces bottlenecks and timelines.
CONSIts hard to find TD's to help implement some extra workflow features, and I wish the review system was more like syncsketch for more technical animation feedback, this would be more for internal reviews as clients wouldn't need that feedback tool. Apart from that its been brilliant.
Reason for choosing ftrack
Ease of use, cost compared to shotgun and the benefits of the project management and reviewing being in one place.

Approachable product
The Project Management is great and the Client Reviews have been instrumental.
CONSThe UI wasn't user friendly at first, this took some time. Documentation could be more elaborated as well, sometimes it's too simplistic or doesn't cover everything. A separate area of our business liked the old on-prem installation more than the current but that may be because of company policies and our own limitations.
Reason for choosing ftrack
Ftrack was more approachable and didn't take a week long lecture on how to use it (I'm being sarcastic of course), which was a critical for those who were apprehensive about making the switch.
Reasons for switching to ftrack
Easier to see data, approachable, but also the reviews and price point at the time were the biggest selling point.
