Keep Qumu, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Qumu you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 126 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Qumu’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
