Great system for communicating "this" is what I mean!

I was really struggling to use similar software, such as techsmith or others and none of them really did everything that I wanted. Once I landed on Berrycast, my and my entire team's productivity shot WAY up. Because it is so easy to record and to say "this" is what is wrong, everyone gets it! No more spending hours of time trying to explain what went wrong...this has been a HUGE timesaver.

PROS

This software is so easy to use. When I have something that I need done or a customer wants to explain desired features / functions to me, I simply hit record and go through all the motions of capturing the information. Once done, the link goes over to the rest of my team and they can collaborate on the video file that I sent over and to more easily understand exactly what the client needed. It is an incredible software package and it is so easy to use.

CONS

There really are very little downsides to this product.

Reason for choosing Berrycast

Loom was going to be really expensive for my entire team to use. Berrycast was at the right price!

Reasons for switching to Berrycast

Because Berrycast was so easy to use!

Excellent Loom Alternative, definitely recommended!

No editing feature No TTS minor features lacking overall very satisfied

Reason for choosing Berrycast

Great UI, fast video uploading, great storage.

Still much room to grow, but will they?

I’ve been really trying to love this platform but my overall experience has been negative. More than their unlimited storage, I care for having my teammates able to create longer than 5minute videos. However on my MacBook When I start a recording their app pops up and won’t let me easily choose what to record. My first experience sharing a video with a client they could not view it since it kept buffering and audio was not very good. They have good ideas but I wonder if they will be able to succeed. I hope so but not sure yet if I will stay for the ride.

PROS

Pricing is much more approachable than Loom and no need to worry about 5min recording limits for you or your teammates

CONS

Still many bugs and streaming many times stutters.

Reason for choosing Berrycast

Loom’s 5min limit for teammates is very limiting for our needs. Loom offers unlimited video hosting but more importantly a better deal for your team, when it works.

Feature rich screen recording and communications tool

Very good with the exception of a few hiccups, but when they were happening it was extremely inconvenient. They've made vast improvements since and I still use Berrycast in conjunction with other tools.

PROS

Continuous development, great user interface, and customizability. The active development team and customer support.

CONS

Slow upload speeds and sometimes unreliable where videos do not upload correctly after long sessions (45+). Still able to recover the files but it wasn't easy.

Reasons for switching to Berrycast

Loom has very poor limits on the free plan and their monthly price isn't all that appealing with so many up-and-coming alternatives with feature parity.

One of my best investments

Overall experience has been fantastic. I use it multiple times, every day. I don't see how I managed without it.

PROS

Berrycast makes sharing information on your screen simple. With a click of the mouse, I am able to record, narrate and then share to clients or associates, exactly what I need. No more blindly talking to them, it makes explanations and demos simple and hassle-free.

CONS

On my 2017 Mac Pro, I found that after about 6 min of recording, the machine gets a little sluggish and heats up. Though this issue could be local to me.

Reason for choosing Berrycast

Had a fantastic price, and I liked their branding.
