What do you like best about Encord?

I appreciate the emphasis on FDA compliance in the annotation tool. The data generated from the tool is auditable and can be reviewed in specific ways, making it very handy for FDA clearance. This is especially beneficial for AI companies like ours building cutting-edge machine learning capabilities for stroke detection.

Support has been excellent -- the team oftentimes replies faster than I hit enter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Encord?

The tool currently lacks some support for native model-assisted labeling on medical imagery which is a minor dislike and would speed things up a lot, but it seems that the team is working on it? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Encord's platform is streamlining our clinical annotation workflows for CT & MRI scans, saving us a lot of time and allowing our clinical team to collaborate on data labeling at scale. The emphasis on FDA compliance in the annotation tool is of particular benefit as it makes the training data from the tool handy for submission for FDA clearance, which was a big burden to us in the past.

What do you like best about Encord?

The option of serving our models on their platform gives us the flexibility to use it as a ‘model proof-of-concept / validation system’ with a human in the loop that helps to uncover blindspots and edge cases in our production models. Annotation tools are easy to use and cover most of the various annotation types we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Encord?

We sometimes encounter a few functions missing from the Python SDK vs what’s present in the API, but the team tends to be pretty responsive in getting them added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Encord’s solution provides us with a comprehensive suite of tools to manage annotation workflows and teams that we use to validate the performance of our models and generate new data for training. Focusing our efforts on just annotation data for model failure cases has led to a large reduction in overall error rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Encord?

For research and the other things, I am a heavy user of different annotation tools and I can confidently say that Encord is one of the best ones out there. Its versatility and ever-evolving nature never cease to amaze me, allowing me to annotate objects with ease and precision. I particularly enjoy using the polygonal and freehand tools, as well as the sculpture tool for more complex annotations. The interface is simple yet powerful and making annotation-intensive studies a breeze, especially when working with multiple objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Encord?

I have had no major issues with Encord yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a large number of annotations per image, this was the first tool we used that didn’t have performance issues with the number of annotations while labelling. Their turbo mode feature is also very nifty for our use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Encord provides a single solution for all our annotation tasks and allows us to get through our labeling projects quickly without sacrificing quality.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Encord?

The throughput and quality dashboards are a great help in understanding team performance on an admin level. Since our clients need to know exactly which team members are not doing so well and which task areas need more support I am able to get those insight at the click of a button and report them to the client.

I also loved the rapid evolution of the tool. It has greatly improved from when we initially started using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Encord?

Projects are broken down into silos with no interactivity within projects even if in the same space. There is no known way to clone the ontology and assignees from one project to another and I have to manually set that up from scratch each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem that we had before Encord was getting a pulse on the team's performance in real-time. With encord, I am able to know how my team in real-time and who needs my help on any project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ulrik Stig Hansen of Encord

Hi Brian. Thanks for the feedback! We added several features to facilitate organisation-level & inter-project collaboration -- user groups and copying projects. You can find both in our documentation.
