## Reviews

### "Just what we've been looking for" — 5.0/5

> **Benjamin** | *08 December 2022* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: So easy to use. Saves us a ton of time. Auto-tagging is great and you can also add your own custom meta-data tags. Setting up project taxonomy was a breeze.
> 
> **Cons**: Would be good if reporting was centralized within NewSpark as well, so we wouldn't have to use a few different sources for this. Other than that request, we have no issues with this software.
> 
> Intuitive platform and our customer success manager always responds quickly.

### "Excellent flexibility and custom development" — 4.0/5

> **Heather** | *21 December 2022* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: New Spark developed custom API connections to our existing tools for direct publishing (transfer) of assets (videos, scripts, captions, images, zip files) including custom metadata fields, importing metadata from other tools, editing and updating that data, publishing on demand and on specified dates. These custom features are regularly maintained and support is very fast and thorough. Developers do an excellent job of troubleshooting and finding solutions to meet needs, project management and communication is thorough and reliable. Any glitches or issues are quickly investigated and corrected.
> 
> **Cons**: The original user interface is overly complex and requires a lot of navigation to find features, a new UI has been released but our customized account will require time/effort to move to the new UI. This is not necessarily a negative since new users will be set up on the new UI. Our extremely large files can cause some issues with upload depending on the user's connection speeds.
> 
> New Spark provided a solution for receiving media files from users outside our firewall and for reviewing, then direct publishing those assets from New Spark to other tools. Our team worked with New Spark to develop customized API connections, video review/sharing tools, central metadata entry, and direct publishing to YouTube, Brightcove, and Widen. This relationship has been very positive and we have investigated and successfully developed solutions to many different video creation/management needs.

### "A powerful tool for managing user generated content" — 4.0/5

> **Alexandra** | *30 November 2022* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Canadian Geographic’s Photo Club is the largest online community of amateur and semi-pro photographers in Canada, so we needed a powerful solution for asset management that makes it easy for users to share images with us and for our team to find publication-worthy submissions. New Spark has been an amazing tool in that regard, with the added bonus of allowing us to run competitions and other promotions to recognize the top photographic talent in our community.
> 
> **Cons**: Some aspects of the platform could be improved. The search functionality is finicky and requires a lot of fine-tuning of keywords and filters to surface the desired results. It is not easy to make changes to the public-facing site. And the WYSIWYG contest builder, while vastly improved in the new platform, could be better/more intuitive.
> 
> Overall, New Spark has been a great tool for us and their customer support is exceptional. They are committed to making improvements based on our feedback and the price point is perfect for our non-profit organization.

> **Verified Reviewer** | *24 August 2023* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Creative publishing workflow was one of best feature. I'm able to publish single media asset to different platforms very easily.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes notifications doesn't trigger in real time. That needs some fixes.
> 
> I was experiencing issues while managing user generated content for our in-house product and New Spark made it very easy. Also, we're able to publish media on different platforms in one click and that's amazing.

### "Friendly Interface with quick set up" — 5.0/5

> **Stefan** | *26 July 2023* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: NewSpark stood out with its user-friendly interface, making it easy to manage our music recording studio's digital assets. The platform's efficient organization and seamless file search capabilities streamlined our workflow and improved collaboration among team members.
> 
> **Cons**: It does exactly what we need it to do for our business.
> 
> Great way to organize digital assets. Huge improvements to overall workflow.
