## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
