simian Reviews & Product Details

I used the Simian 2.3 Pro version which was new at the time (2017) and a huge upgrade over previous version. The Simian 1.8 version or other older versions quite honestly are a waste of your time and money. The 2.3 version program spots 7 days in advance with ease. Logs are easily saved for a month. Emergency Alert System information can be stored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest problem I had was with the time in that the clock often skipped from intermittent internet speed connections, etc... and that would mess up the timing of local breaks. I was told there was a way to correct the time with an adjuster but we never made the investment so I wasted quite a lot of time (almost daily) needing to change times on all my breaks.

For example, set a preference to pull it from the first frame. I wish the library had more organization tools to help me find videos for reels that have not been used in a long time to purge old material. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How glitchy it can be, and simple errors can throw out the whole system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that only 3 cart players can be assigned, and that it's not as good as some competitors in regards to a live assist environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company switched from Wiredrive several years ago and haven't looked back. While the two interfaces were very similar, we've found Simian to have some stand out features that made us like this service over the other. Client review postings are really simplified just the way we want them.

There are some areas I'd love to tweak but cannot do so. For example, I want to customize the frame that it pulls the thumbnails on so I don't have to recreate them every time I upload something.

There's kind of a lot going on. A little bit distracting to look at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Favorite out of google and wiredrive. User friendly. Able to put media ina specific order! Also, their encoding for downloads is spotless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some tagging features weren't perfect, but that would be more of a plus than anything that affects the core function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very user-friendly, and you get really good feedback on views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a little difficult to use the search function if you don't have the exact right wording typed in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While certainly not the most intuitive or future-proof video hosting service i've used, it certainly is much MUCH More affordable than most. It offers all the essential features that I look for in a service: ease of use, some customization, killer customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frustrated by the fact that archival videos have to have their data streaming limited to 3mbps - that is certainly not a future-proof video quality; would prefer to use something more data rich than that when considering an archival spec. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
