Simian vs MediaSilo
MediaSilo’s collaboration capabilities can’t match Simian’s robust suite of tools and features.
What Simian Offers
- A Complete Solution
- Lifecycle Management
- True Collaboration
- Great Presentation Options
- Global Infrastructure
- Constant Development
- User-Focused
A More Complete Solution
MediaSilo only offers project collaboration tools, whereas Simian is a complete solution for creative companies. From sales to finish, we have the tools creatives need - reels, sales analytics, project management, review and approval, final delivery.
We’re brand new Simian users, and we love it!
Kris Mathur, VP/EP, Backyard Productions
Project Lifecycle Management
When posting rough cuts and edits, and moving from one job to the next, older projects can become overlooked, leading to accounts getting cluttered. Simian’s storage quota and auto-delete settings, which MediaSilo doesn’t offer, keep accounts up-to-date and free up storage for current projects.
Simian lets us consolidate all of our content for reels in one place. It allows us to see fantastic analytics that show what, when and how people are viewing our work. It is a great addition to our arsenal of digital tools.
Christopher Keenan, Director of Technology, Crew Cuts
True Collaboration Tools
MediaSilo offers a bare minimum in collaboration capability. By contrast, Simian users can privately share and comment on files, annotate directly on video and images, manage versions effectively, compare videos side-by-side and integrate their comments with Premiere Pro, Slack, Dropbox and Box.
The workflow that Simian provides allows us to get those approvals quickly, which can mean the difference between making it on the air on time and having to push or cancel a media schedule.
Scott Back, Creative Director, Lithia
Multi-Presentation Capability
Simian offers multiple presentation formats and delivery options, so you can pitch and share work in a way that best fits your needs. Our branded reel and project presentations, bearing your logo, take seconds to send out, and you can easily create your own presentations with our customizable templates.
I love Simian! Managing jobs and sharing our work is so easy and streamlined. Simian is an essential part of our daily workflow, and I can’t imagine life without it!
Greg Kuehn, Composer / Creative Director, Peligro Music & Sound
Our Network is Global
Every Simian account is on its own private cloud server, adding another layer of security and reliability, unlike at MediaSilo, where all accounts share the same server.
“I’m extremely happy with my experience with Simian. Making reels and presentations is easy, and uploading is even easier. And on top of that, their customer service support is absolutely fantastic.”
Steve "Scof" Schofield, Owner & Founder, Schofield's Flowers
Our Focus is on Development
As the industry’s needs and its technology changes, Simian is continually releasing new and updated features to provide the best video sharing and collaboration platform available. Our record of product updates and enhancements far surpasses that of MediaSilo or any other video sharing platform. See what we’ve been up to lately.
Working on a global scale, Simian allowed us to exchange content and work within our offices and clients anywhere in the world. In the end, Simian helps keep data organized in the cloud and lowered our expenses related to file sharing.

It’s Also on You – the User
We regularly talk with leaders in advertising, production and post, to learn more about the problems facing the industry, explore the latest trends and get feedback on what tools help them do their jobs better, letting them focus on being creative. MediaSilo’s strategic focus and attention, meanwhile, has been elsewhere.
Simian provides us with a modern method of instantaneous, digital communication, whether we're operating locally, nationally, or globally. It’s an integral part of the way we do business on a daily basis.
