"Hard to sift Through "

2/5

What do you like best about MediaBeacon?

I enjoy its clean and sleek design. It is easy on the eyes. My job ask us to grab footage fast from MediaBeacon so its clean design makes it easy to enter in info. I also really enjoy the it saves my log in user name making it easier to click right into looking in. I also enjoy that it is customized towards Showtime being called Redspace. I also like that you can separate the items from image, video and print. Making it easier to make a smaller list to look through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaBeacon?

It is hard to click through all of the items we have under our profile. It's hard to find specific things. I find that I have to scroll through tons of things that don't pertain to the job or even show that I am looking for. I wish if I was looking for a specific shot or photo from a show that I could have an easier time narrowing down the exact source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaBeacon:

I think I would tell them that its a good concept but I struggle with finding exactly what I need in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MediaBeacon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Looking up older photos and spots. We can be tasked to locate old behind the scenes footage or a spot from a specific season. We also have job numbers that we can look up and we have a better chance of locating those because media beacon locates it based on what it was labeled as. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mediabeacon"

2.5/5

What do you like best about MediaBeacon?

allows us to organize our assets much more efficiently. where I wasn't able to find other videos, media beacon has allowed me to search for more ambiguous assets with its search function. it allows us to search by show, which is huge, and when we can't find file names from other asset management platforms, media beacon usually helps us find it. the best part is that it allows us to search beyond just series, but across all our assets, like documentaries, movies, sports, spots, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaBeacon?

it's not super aesthetically pleasing, but it does the job. sometimes the loading gets a little funky, it'll choke up a little, but I guess that makes sense considering it's loading up so many videos images, and preview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaBeacon:

keep your assets organized from the start! if you're managing thousands of videos, this will do the trick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MediaBeacon solving and how is that benefiting you?

asset organization and project management. it helps us take loads off of our servers while also keeping the assets organized and easy to find. where I wasn't able to find other videos, media beacon has allowed me to search for more ambiguous assets with its search function. it allows us to search by show, which is huge, and when we can't find file names from other asset management platforms, media beacon usually helps us find it. the thumb nail preview section helps us find assets quickly and makes things much easier to identify Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Takes a lot to set up, but worth it."

4/5

What do you like best about MediaBeacon?

Easy to upload, intuitive and easy to navigate. We have someone in house that is dedicated to getting everyone trained, so we might have it a little easier than most people, but it is such a good project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaBeacon?

It does take a long time to get this set up, but like I said in my title, well worth it in the end. I would recommend getting someone who can learn everything there is to know about this before implementing. It can be kind of a beast to tackle at first, but the more you use it, the more you get to know it (just like any software.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaBeacon:

Nothing really! We are still in the implementation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MediaBeacon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are in the process of moving from an older filing system to a new one, so this has been a real winner in helping us locate files more easily. We can now have employees access files from anywhere in the world and not have to be connected to an internal server anymore. We have been looking for a switch for a couple years and MediaBeacon has been a lifesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
