SAP Ruum vs. Yamdu

For all activities that concentrate on collaboration, from sharing of content, management of tasks, feedback tracking, and others, Ruum by SAP will do perfectly and utilize finances. More so, the application helps in milestone tracking, where we know the progress, and understand what ought to be done. There is Gantt chart and flow chart from Ruum by SAP, all outlining what should follow when the process starts.

Yamdu is a good choice if you work in a professional setup, where teamwork is important, where big crews have to be handled. If you only have a few crew members in small projects, the toolset might be a bit overloaded

• Ruum by SAP supports brainstorming, and in the end, there is content management.
• Further, Ruum by SAP helps in task and backlog management.
• The processes are also well mapped.
• Goal setting and feedback tracking are also included in the feature.

Incentivized

• Customized production schedule and easy management.
• Total financial control of the project in all areas.

• Mobile device enhancement functionalities
• Broader integration support with other systems

Incentivized

• The interface can be a little overwhelming sometimes, since there are so many options available
• I wish there was true mobile support so the app could be used during production
• The cost was ultimately too high for me--I wish there was another, more affordable tier for smaller production houses

What you see is what you get. It's easy to start working when you setup your first project. Also team members do not need many new to learn skills to work with the basic functions. Really incredible is Yamdu's help center. It is always available in the right corner. A lot of topics are covered with video links. If you need personal assistance, you can write a message within the help-box and Yamdu's crew is really fast in responding!

This is one of Yamdu's strongest points.

Ruum [by SAP] is an easy-to-use project and workflow management tool for the organization's internal use on the project tracking and managing [of] client-related projects, which also benefits team assignment and collaboration. [It also] shares the project milestones with the external clients for the particular project status records, [as such], I would like to [recommend] Ruum by SAP as an internal workflow management solution for better productivity and work efficiency.

At the time, there really wasn't anything else like Yamdu. Especially as, in Celtx's case, at that time they weren't doing Excel/CSV exports of shot lists in the A/V format, something we required for what we were shooting. I understand that StudioBinder has increased its featureset the past few years, but Yamdu always felt like the most robust option and more familiar with the film/tv world.

• No code knowledge required for Ruum application
• Effective collaboration with external parties
• Better project planning and milestones management

Incentivized

• Positive impact, centralized place with some good tools for film productions
• Negative impact, not that flexible and as expected and strict pricing policy with little flexibility
