We left their strengths in the table. If you need Camera to Cloud or an NLE panel today, that's them, not us.
What we don't have: Camera to Cloud, native NLE panels, enterprise SSO. Review runs in the browser. Moving over is download-and-re-upload — Backup keeps your folder structure as-is, and each active cut takes one upload and one link. If those gaps are dealbreakers today, we'd rather you know now.
Bring the next cut
somewhere calmer.
