Spott

Vorteile

Spott lässt sich intuitiv bedienen und bietet eine einfache Möglichkeit, Bilder und Videos attraktiver zu gestalten. Ohne großen Aufwand erhöhen sich Interaktionen und Verkäufe, die sich zudem genau messen lassen. Das Team von Spott arbeitet an vielen weiteren Funktionen, die das Tool noch deutlicher attraktiver machen.

Nachteile

Interaktionen werden mit Credits bezahlt. Momentan ist der tatsächliche Bedarf schwer abzuschätzen.

Vorteile

Die leichte Handhabung. Es gelingt schnell sich ein zuarbeiten und das gewünschte Ergebnis zu erzielen!

Nachteile

Am wenigsten gefällt mir das es ein Credits System gibt.

Vorteile

Spott is an enterprise-level software that manages to have a simple and intuitive user interface for such a sophisticated app. All the options and settings are organized to allow for a logical workflow. It is clear that a lot of thought went into the design of the UI and UX so that it can be used efficiently.

There are many options for customization to match different brand identities and the created styles can be saved so they be easily used in again in other projects.

Spott allows you to push the created interactive media to several different channels and has built-in functionality to track user engagement across these channels. Each interaction can effectively be a call-to-action and there is no limit to the number of "spotts" (interactions) that can be created for each image or video. There are multiple export and embed options to accommodate a wide variety of use cases.

The novel functionality of Spott means it does come with a slight learning curve. Luckily, there is plenty of detailed documentation with step-by-step walk-throughs to get started with Spott and use it effectively. There is also an active Facebook community where Spott developers are quick to answer questions and resolve issues. Support is also available by contacting them directly and they have been very responsive.

Interactive content is the future of online media and Spott is leading the way.

Nachteile

Considering Spott is an enterprise-level software, the most prohibitive factor for most new users will be the cost. However, when used properly, the ROI can be significant enough to justify that cost.

Also, there are no integrations currently available with automation software like Pabbly Connect and Zapier. Until those are added, working with this app can be a bit time-consuming when there is a high volume of media that needs to be processed.

Vorteile

Outstanding Performance when Combined with Dynamic Ads and Product Feeds

Nachteile

3rd party restrictions limiting its full potential

Vorteile

Spott had elegant features (at least for desktop viewing), but eventually it seems it was rather a scam.

Nachteile

After taking my payment (in the hundreds), they unilaterally removed access to the account. For a European product, this is quite surprising and I keep hoping it was a glitch in their system.

Vorteile

Really makes your videos much more interesting.
Helps deliver more ROI on video content.
Simple workflow once you figure it out (create assets > create widgets > add interactivity to video).
Nice UI and easy to use.
Especially suited to e-commerce/retail.

Nachteile

Unable to add branding meaning you have to set the fonts and colours every time for every widget.
Lack of responsiveness - the widgets look massive on smaller screens/mobiles meaning they cover the video content.
The videos are not viewable from within the social media feed (Instagram Stories excluded) which means you rely on people clicking a link out to view the video (you then also need to create your own video thumbnail for the social post as Spott doesn't do this for you).
Your 'Share' settings are not saved, meaning you have to set them again each time you want to create the video link or embed code.
Posting to Instagram could be easier - you are just given a Bitly link then left on your own to figure out how to create the post from there and it's not so straightforward - I'd like to see an Instagram integration so you can send the video to a Spott mobile app and push the post to Instagram from there.

Vorteile

Storage and bandwidth is unlimited for both images and videos. There are multiple ways in which you can use display interactive content on your website for example java script, iframe, etc. All plans now comes with sub accounts were you can set CNAME for all the websites where you would like to use interactive content with affecting SEO.

Nachteile

We do not currently have integrations with automation software like Pabbly Connect and Zapier. This means that it can be a little more difficult when there is a high volume of media that needs to be processed. Direct integration with Woocomerce and spotify is also needed.

Vorteile

Creating cutting edge interactive images and videos, is easily done with Spott. Imagine the user being able to control the outcome of a video they are watching. Spott gives viewers that power. Taking away the traditional one way communication, introduces a whole new level of possibilities. If you are into ecommerce, you can add hotspots to your media that allows viewers to purchase directly from the image or video. It’s a new day, the future is here. If you have several clients or run an agency spott has sub accounts where you can allocate credits. Your clients will be able to login and see how their campaigns are performing. This tool is definitely one to have in the arsenal. The spott team keeps improving the tool and offers good support when you need it.

Nachteile

I would like the ability to change the colors of the interface to match my brand when using sub accounts. Also because of the restrictions of certain platforms, all of the interactive features do not work on sites such as IG, Facebook and Pinterest.

Vorteile

I love the new UI and cleaniness. You can feel that this product is made for enterprises and the people/support behind this product are very conveying that message.
Software wise I like the swift and guided process on how to create content fast. There are tips being displayed to show what to do next or what can be improved.

Nachteile

Only the "making sense of" this product may be overwhelming for newbies.

Vorteile

It is really good for ecommerce, you can connect to google sheets to convert, manage, and customize your product feed and keep the products synced between Spott and the sheet.
It is possible to use Spott images for advertising on Google Ads and DV360. Video ads are possible on ad networks that allow both VPAID and VAST ads.

Nachteile

There is a slight learning curve, which of course is expected for powerful applications. I would love to see them address this by adding more lengthy tutorials on their youtube channel.

Vorteile

Most use is Images with interactive spots

Nachteile

To find information how to use it, the video tutorials are sometimes not very clear. They guide you not through the system

Vorteile

I’m always in the hunt for tools that can “wow!” my audience, so when I came across Spott, I knew that this was a tool I needed in my toolkit.

Spott is what I would describe as a “next-level” tool - offering functionality that you wouldn’t find easily in other more mainstream tools.

The features are rich and if you’re looking to engage your customers in a compelling way, Spott over-delivers!

Nachteile

There is a bit of a learning curve with Spott but that is to be expected with such a powerful tool such as this. They do have training videos that walk you through things so that isn’t really an issue.

Vorteile

Even non-technical users can 1) start creating video and image dynamic hotspots without much training to 2) exporting to popular platforms (interactive google display ads, facebook, pinterest, etc), thanks to its intuitive UX and onboarding process. Spott uses credits system, which effectively means we users only pay when audiences engage with our interactive content. Otherwise, image/videos hosting and views only, are free. Personally, we feel is a fair system that works positively for spott and us.

Nachteile

The recent social platform addition Youtube require users to download a chrome extension for our interactive content to work successfully. This is a limitation but in all fairness, the issue is with Youtube. Another downside for us is the design elements, where we hope they will continue to give us more variety.

Vorteile

List of things that can be really helpful with the tool:

1. Easy Onboarding to the software (easy interface)
2. All types of media supported.
3. Unlimited space for uploading media.
4. In dept analytics and reporting.
5. In built asset tool to put down all your products.

Nachteile

1. Credits for essential plan could be more generous
2. Missing features like brand management.
3. Video editor could have been a little better in terms of usability.

Vorteile

Interactive video is the future and Spott solves this absolutely well! Great CDN which runs videos smoothly without buffering in Asia where I am at. Great templates available to add interactivity to the videos that absolutely engage the audience.

Nachteile

There is learning curve in order to use to this software. But when you learn to master it, you will be able to churn out fantastic interactive video that professionally portrays your product brand. Tutorials is lacking at the moment but the team is working hard on it.

Vorteile

The software is very user friendly. You have your interactive video setup in no time! Import the video, create some assets, place them on your video and ready to go!

Nachteile

If you want to change the look & feel of your interactivity, you will need (basic) CSS knowledge. This could be a problem for certain users of the software. But the styling is already looking good out of the box.

Vorteile

This is a must-have for any marketer o advertiser. Spott is a unique tool that can change your entire media marketing strategy and give you more interaction possibility with your media content. Higher CTR, Lower Ads budget, CTA improvement, Mobile First development and much more.

Nachteile

Not too much for asking, may be more trigger options will be great.

Vorteile

Awesome platform for marketing videos, it makes it easier for customers to locate the actual products you are a "showcasing" in your videos.

Nachteile

Would like to see a better integration with Facebook and Instagram, but that is probably more because of Facebook restrictions then the lack of trying from the developer.

Vorteile

The interactive overlays to video give this a cool factor that is worth checking out since grabbing attention online gets harder over time. Showing something different like this in your marketing efforts help you gain an edge with clients.

Nachteile

There are some limitations on how to use Spott about where the interactivity works (it mainly on your website) but that is more a limitation imposed by the outside platforms of YouTube, LI and others.

Vorteile

Spott is very easy to use and adding interactivity is always a win. I've been using it to design digital magazines and product features but I was planning to even use it in my art portfolio to provide details about my paintings and in online art classes to explain specific parts of an image. I think it's great. I've done similar stuff manually before but Spott saves so much time.

Nachteile

Most of the default design styles are not suitable for my work but that's a personal preference. I would have liked to be able to see the design as I apply it, without having to 'preview' it.

Vorteile

I like the ability to create interactive images that drive engagement and conversions

Nachteile

It’s not intuitive - you definitely have to do some reading to figure out how to set everything up

Vorteile

one tool for video an images
easy copy/paste of code
CNAME

Nachteile

credits are used not only on click but also on mouse over

Vorteile

Super user-friendly: the developer onboarding documentation and process makes it easy and seamless to set up new and interactive campaigns. I especially like the product tagging feature and the ease to link to my product database.

Nachteile

Would like to see more templates and customization (so it can fit my brand style more)

Vorteile

I love Spott and how I can use this for e-commerce and recommend it for everyone that wants to increase their users "time" on websites. Great value and great product.

Nachteile

Nothing special actually. I really like Spott and only thing i can think of is that all is connected to a credit system which i am not used to. Maybe they will change this in the future. For the better.

Vorteile

Ease of use, easy to setup and one can quickly get on board and implement in innovative ways!

Nachteile

YouTube interactivity is not available yet, but the team is great and I am positive it will be available soon!

Vorteile

I can add interactive features (buttons, hotspots) to my graphics, videos and PDF's that I produce for marketing and promotional purposes. This has increased the retention and click-through rates of my company's marketing endeavours by 70%.

Nachteile

The number of available styles for the interactive features are quite limited and should be better expanded and further enhanced. The UI of the app should get a facelift to make it more modern, clean with better uniformity to achieve greater user experience.

Vorteile

Very easy to create interactive images and videos. Only being charged when someone clicks makes it easy to scale and use on projects.

Nachteile

Lack of brand/sub-accounts but it's on the roadmap

Vorteile

they truly have built a platform for digital agencies

Nachteile

the lack of a whitelabel solution , would allow reselling for some agencies interested

Nachteile

So far with their cutting edge technology and the fast pace of development of new features suggested by users,I haven't spot any .I may update my review if something in between comes up.

Vorteile

I love the ability to boost the stories of my videos, enhancing our audience engagement by allowing them to interact with our presentations. Spott provides an easy to learn interface.

Nachteile

I am hoping that Spott will improve the UX for the finished product. I would like to have more control over styles and additional effects.

Vorteile

As a designer, I really love to think a little outside the box with this product. Yes, it has great marketing applications, but think of all the things you can do with Spott in the education space. It is a super user-friendly tool for non-technical users and I love it.

Nachteile

Overall I do think the UX and UI could still be improved. Perhaps a few more customisation options for products could be added, but I really like the simplicity of the product as well.

Vorteile

Spott.ai is an image marketing service that allows you to create interactive content for your campaigns and grow your social media following. The best part? You can embed Spott images on your website or add them to your Google Display ad. It's a great way to promote and sell your products.

Nachteile

It has a learning curve and takes some adjustment getting used to the software.

Vorteile

This software is a way for you to engage your readers and customers with video, as well as the option of creating an interactive catalog. The interactions are really great looking, it's nice that developers seem devoted to improving this product!

Nachteile

No integration with Integrately or Integromat!

Vorteile

I think im the number one fan of this product. Visual Arts and Multimedia is extremely important for me as a person as well as for my different businesses.
Spott allows me to create interactive content in photos, videos, 360 multimedia, PDF magazines.
This is great for Ads, online education, Explainer videos, teasers, trailers, promo videos, catalogues, social media posts, and the list goes on.

Nachteile

I need to be able to configure date expiration in the widgets, so i don´t have videos, photos or posts consuming my credits when the links or promos are not working anymore.

Vorteile

Hotspots and CTA's on top of your marketing videos is a no brainer!

Nachteile

Would like to see improvements for integrating marketing tools and CRM's so that lead captures and audience insights can easily flow into a centralized place, and be used to further market to, and personalize the messaging to your audience segments.

Vorteile

Spott seems like a very good software to have. I’m impressed by what I see here, there are so many possibilities that we can do. I’m happy about the credits we’re getting and the rollover.

Nachteile

You have to think about how you're going to use it and then you have to implement it because there's actually a lot of possibilities.

Vorteile

Increase the average time on page and link straight through to the sale. An interesting and innovate way to dangle a carrot in front of a potential customer, making it easier to engage them there and then to your content. Customers can click through there and then ensuring a faster sale conversion and click through rate. Very easy to navigate through the numerous options, to customize to your individual and clients tastes.

Nachteile

As with most products there is a bit of a learning curve but it's quite intuitive considering the amount of options its presents. Once you've familiarized yourself with it, it really is easy to use.

Vorteile

It is clean and very helpful for displaying details in scientific images. Even if the student is not practicing with the new things.

Nachteile

it's a little laborious to add the targets to each image, but that's a one-time job.

Vorteile

Spott is a unique tool and very innovative. It can put your e-commerce, sales pages, multimedia, etc. to the next level easily without breaking your bank. Although it does requires a bit of some technical skills to work with, Spott is designed well enough that a non-techie people can get the job done. There is a slight learning curve, but for this type of tools, it is well worth the effort.

Nachteile

I would love more integrations with other tools and also would love the team to get Spott to improve and find a better way to work with Facebook and Instagram platforms if possible since the limitations also are the way FB/IG are.

Vorteile

Able to engage your audience with video interaction. There is also option to create interactive catalog with PDF and videos. The interaction areas interact well with video viewers. Gotten this software in the hopes of many great upcoming features, as the developers seem to be on a path to keep improving with more features, which is great.

Nachteile

Limited functionality if videos are not in your own websites, such as if the videos are played in YouTube or Facebook, the interaction is limited. But this is understandable, as those platform does not allow external codes to run on it. On the note of YouTube, the software has a Chrome extension that can be installed so the users with it may get the interaction working.

Vorteile

Spott is an amazing app for brands to optimize their online presence. The app really helped me increase my ROI as my ads became interactive and I could measure the success of each campaign. If you're looking for a way to improve your social media campaigns, Spott is the perfect solution.

Nachteile

At first, it was difficult for me to set up the ads because I did not quite understand the platform, but with all the improvements they have made in recent weeks, it is much more intuitive.

Vorteile

- makes videos, PDF's etc interactive
- easy to use
- good performance
- responsive and open support
- support is hopping easily into a 1:1 video-call to solve problems

Nachteile

- accounting for clicks/views model needs some time to understand
- hard to predict volume which will be needed

Vorteile

Works with video assets... as well as with images.

Nachteile

Some of the video Spott features, like key frame tracking of moving objects for example, are still being developed (but I have confidence they will get it done).

Vorteile

How intuitive it is to make any video or picture interactive. I thought it was going to be way more difficult.

Nachteile

The fact that the "add to basket" functionality was not yet "plug & play".

Vorteile

Easily integrate POS into virtual tours. Unlimited storage. Embedding panorama images on wordpress sites.

Nachteile

I'm hoping for a further multi panorama integration because it's limited to just one space now. I'd also like the ability to straighten panoramas, add nadir and sound. Also loading times with larger files should be improved.

Vorteile

Really easy to implement and the UI/UX makes the integration look great on all ad formats.

Nachteile

Customer support is kind of slow, luckily the product is quality so I don’t need to contact them much.

Vorteile

The difference your content has with the spott app over other marketers with the

Nachteile

Just some learning curve needed for video.

Vorteile

I love that Spott is one of a rare app that can offer interactive spots on images and VIDEOS, like CTAs, links, making it super convenient to set up interactions with audience, for leads, for actions. The setup is quite easy and can be done in just a minute. It can also generate GIF, analytics which are very nice

Nachteile

Not so much. The app is updating frequently to be better and better - all the points I want to improve has been improved by Spott team/

Vorteile

Great looking call to actions that can be embedded into images video and a PDF catalog. Projects are easily managed and creating media is easy with the template collections. I also like love the interface of the platform. It's very clean and easy navigate.

Nachteile

I would like to see more template assets added frequently and additional call to actions or content embeds.

Vorteile

Spott is a really impressive and unique tool for adding interactive "spots" on your media. It can refresh your entire e-commerce and your social media marketing strategy. It is quite simple to create the assets but even if you find any difficulties with their onboarding demo you are ready to go.

Nachteile

You need to have an understanding of CSS to make design-style changes
