Keeps getting updated, even when not asked for.
Pros
Accessing and coordinating tasks involving multiple individuals is simple and smooth.
Cons
Setting it up properly requires a lot of API coding. Moreover updates often disrupt functionality. Instead of "congratulations" it's more like "Let's see what they broke this time?" It would be helpful to have an option for clients to choose when to roll out updates instead of forcing them upon us, but as far as I know, that's not in the pipeline.

Very powerful, but kinda confusing (user review, not a manager)
Pros
Task creation, linking and organization are quite speedy and robust. The time tracker is also smart and user-friendly.
Cons
My frustration begins from the multiple overlapping popup windows for tasks and time tracking. They always cover up important information that I need to see or click on in the main screen. I have to come up with workarounds to properly track my tasks. Having more customization options or smarter placement of popups would be greatly appreciated.

Very good alternative to Shotgun
Very good alternative to Shotgun
Pros
Uploading media and navigating different categories for shots is clear and straightforward which ensures a smooth workflow.
Cons
When uploading media, I need to add a note to each shot. However, there's only a single line available, and if the note is long, I can't see the beginning without scrolling back. There's no option to create paragraphs or sub-paragraphs, which would allow for clearer articulation of the details regarding a challenging shot.

Great for project management, could use tweaks in the Review/Webplayer
Great for project management, could use tweaks in the Review/Webplayer
Pros
Ftrack has greatly simplified our project management, making it easily accessible to all artists and team members, even while working remotely. To access all the important information at one place is the key for us and it has greatly assisted us in this matter. Also it helps in managing workloads, communicating tasks, issues and deadlines.
Cons
The webplayer could use improvement as it currently feels a bit clunky. When viewing my work through the webplayer, I have to manually change every single shot to the most recent task. The shots displayed should be the most recent versions, not the initial uploads. Additionally, notes made within the webplayer don't seem to match to the correct task level; they end up at the topmost level. This means I have to double-check and navigate to other task levels to view any notes made there. This becomes problematic as notes can easily be missed if you're unaware of a new note on a new version or if you expect the note to be on a different task level.

Key project management for animation
Key project management for animation
Pros
The user-friendliness, the ability to schedule, track and review all projects is vital for an animation studio. Being able to then provide clients with a review for feedback, visible to the whole team, helps reduce bottlenecks and streamline timelines.
Cons
It's challenging to find TDs who can assist with implementing additional workflow features. I wish the review system was more similar to syncsketch for more technical animation feedback. This would be beneficial for internal reviews, as clients don't require that feedback tool. Other than that, it has been fantastic.

Pros
Ftrack is a powerful and highly customizable project management tool. One standout feature is the option to view and manage all projects in a single view or select specific project(s) to focus on. Their reviewing tool, both for images and motion, is efficient and carefully designed.
Cons
Due to its extensive customization option, there is a learning curve to navigate the software. Additionally, the notification center could be improved. While it fulfills its purpose, it's not as seamless as other internal communication tools I am accustomed to using. Having a desktop app would be a fantastic addition.

The visibility of resources and the task overview are great. I particularly like the high level of customization, which allows adjustments to suit different needs. The interface is well-designed.
Cons
Navigation can be challenging at times as it requires too many clicks. I wish there were more customizable fields and areas, or at least a simpler way for anyone to customize them, rather than relying solely on an IPA developer. The review system, especially the one for clients, should be more user-friendly (take a look at Proof HQ). It would be great if Asset Builds could be managed in a centralized system outside of individual projects and then linked to specific projects. I also desire client-facing project plans with clear actions for clients.

The filtering and version control features are brilliant. The overviews and dashboards are excellent. The ability to take actions and customize the product accordingly is highly advantageous.
Cons
The DCC integrations are poor. Navigating projects within the integrations is terrible, as there is no filtering or search functionality available. There's a lack of asset management and an asset loader provided. The Houdini integration doesn't have an installer at all, and the documentation is outdated. The files and components management system could be improved. Multiple reviewable components and preview images are needed. There's a lack of PDF support, limited interface customization options, and the notes and internal communication functionality is lacking (e.g., user mentioning, rich text support, attachments copy-paste, limited formatting options, etc.). The Pook Connect Application functions are not up to par.

Animators review
Pros
I find it highly intuitive, with a visually pleasing interface that presents information in a simple manner. It seamlessly integrates with the software I use and makes it effortless to track my shots.
Cons
Perhaps regarding the thumbnails, I wish that when the shots render through ftrack, it would automatically upload a thumbnail. However, this may not be feasible given how we use the software.

Pros
I like that it covers various aspects, from uploading animation scenes to the review process.
Cons
I would like to have an option to adjust the column width on the task board. So I can make it narrower or wider.

Pros
Ftrack has been very helpful in managing important projects during these challenging pandemic times. It allows remote work which ensures business continuity. I like the all-in-one features that allow me to upload previews, review them, manage files and versions, track bid time, and access many other tools.
Cons
This software is nearly flawless. However, when uploading videos via f-connect, the progress isn't shown. I'm not sure why the collaboration option was removed from the video review panel. It was far better than screen sharing on Skype or Teams.

Pros
The taskboard view is quite beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all my shots. Navigating through it is also not an issue, and the filters are helpful.
Cons
It's difficult to remove files that were mistakenly uploaded or edit file names within the software. However, this might be more of an admin/user privilege issue.

Good, reliable and room for customisation.
Good, reliable and room for customisation.
Pros
The visibility of resources and the task overview are great. I particularly like the high level of customization, which allows adjustments to suit different needs. The interface is well-designed.
Cons
Navigation can be challenging at times as it requires too many clicks. I wish there were more customizable fields and areas, or at least a simpler way for anyone to customize them, rather than relying solely on an IPA developer. The review system, especially the one for clients, should be more user-friendly (take a look at Proof HQ). It would be great if Asset Builds could be managed in a centralized system outside of individual projects and then linked to specific projects. I also desire client-facing project plans with clear actions for clients.

More easy and people and artist friendly than others
Pros
I find the so many features priceless such as system of organizing tasks as cards, the learning curve, the filters and the customizable aspects of each part of fTrack. Within just five hours, I was already working fine with it.
Cons
The quality of the player is not good at all. For VFX supervision, I need to download the original file. In other software like Frame IO, you can choose the video quality.

my super awesome review
my super awesome review
Pros
The filtering and version control features are brilliant. The overviews and dashboards are excellent. The ability to take actions and customize the product accordingly is highly advantageous.
Cons
The DCC integrations are poor. Navigating projects within the integrations is terrible, as there is no filtering or search functionality available. There's a lack of asset management and an asset loader provided. The Houdini integration doesn't have an installer at all, and the documentation is outdated. The files and components management system could be improved. Multiple reviewable components and preview images are needed. There's a lack of PDF support, limited interface customization options, and the notes and internal communication functionality is lacking (e.g., user mentioning, rich text support, attachments copy-paste, limited formatting options, etc.). The Pook Connect Application functions are not up to par.
