Recommendations to others considering Wipster:
This is a solid platform. It really depends on the features you are looking for when selecting a video review platform. Some features sound really good but you might never use them. This one has a few we just don't need so more isn't always better. Wipster's customer support is email only so that doesn't work for us. We lost data on another platform and their phone tech support got a developer on the phone for a 3-way 4-hour call as we worked to get the media back online. It was astounding. You want a voice when something like this happens in post. There is never any time to waste with "I'll email you in 24 hours."
I would advise that your company seek a platform that captures everything you are going to do with it. Don't go with the flashiest or most popular. Do the research and put in the time to know why you are using it and what features will keep your workflow moving quickly. We worked backwards on finding a platform and in doing so came to the realization that while the big guys were great and the bells and whistles were interesting, we just didn't need them at the speed we were editing.
Our client chose Wipster because of the integration with Adobe products. We really didn't see this a s a must have since we have multiple screens in the edit bays and you can easily scroll to the timecode needed and make your edit there. That said, Wipster is twice the price of ReviewStudio so there is that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Wipster solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our position with Wipster is odd. The client wanted to host the platform so we lost much of its functionality. It is a weird place to be in considering much of a platform is back-end reviews before it gets to the client. Reviews with a client out of the country are going very smoothly and the platform is great for that. It is weird that you can not see actual comments listed anywhere but must scrub thru and find these "bubbles" that have the comments in them. Time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
