Simply, a stopwatch. > > 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. ----- ### "Enables to manage the entire animation creation process in an organized way" — 5.0/5 > **Mayank** | *29 December 2020* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: From 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. > > **Cons**: Cerebro 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. > > 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. ----- ### "Cerebro" — 5.0/5 > **Jean** | *07 December 2020* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I 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. > > **Cons**: The 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. > > 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 ----- ### "Cerebro helps us to work on the same virtual design process together" — 5.0/5 > **Natasha** | *19 December 2020* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Visual 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. > > **Cons**: Studio 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. > > 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. ----- ### "Cerebro is great for managing the visual design development process" — 5.0/5 > **Myke** | *06 December 2020* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cerebro 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. > > **Cons**: That 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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/187378/cerebro?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/187378/cerebro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
