Case studies
Still not convinced? Read why our customers chose Encord
We now have an integrated, one-stop solution where we can manage our data and also understand our model performance to create feedback mechanisms to improve data and models.
Encord made it very easy to centrally keep track of annotations, including who had made them and who had reviewed them. It also has this great interpolation tool which was especially useful.
It’s always about balancing speed and quality. A lot of platforms prioritize speed over quality or quality over speed. Encord speeds up annotation while still allowing for strong quality control.
Encord’s robust support system has been remarkable. Whenever questions or issues come up, they are always supportive and helpful. This ensures that our workflows remain uninterrupted.
We went through a bunch of vendors and one of the things that stood out about Encord was the video first support, which other vendors do not have.
Getting started with Encord and integrating it into our workflow was really fast. The thing that I find the most valuable is the flexibility of how we can integrate the Encord pipeline into our own pipeline.
Encord Index is a high-performance system for our AI data, enabling us to sort and search at any level of complexity.
Before using Encord, it was challenging to see all the data, projects, and annotations in one place. Now, with Encord I feel like we have a much clearer understanding of everything that's happening.

Encord has native support for images, videos, audio, documents, text, and DICOM files in a single unified platform.
Encord provides a comprehensive, white-glove experience for enterprise customers with dedicated customer success managers and technical support engineering team to ensure your success.
Encord provides native video rendering with advanced object tracking, no downsampling, and precise frame-by-frame analysis. Unlike Labelbox, Encord preserves temporal context throughout the annotation process. Our approach enables significantly faster and more accurate video annotation while using less storage, boosting data pipeline efficiency.
Encord offers flexible, granular, and highly configurable ontologies that support nested tree structures for complex annotations. This enables hierarchical organization and management of labeled data. Most importantly, Encord allows you to modify your ontology mid-project as your needs evolve.
Encord is the leader for DICOM annotation with support for the latest transfer syntaxes including HTJ2K. Our platform automatically identifies series belonging to the same study using metadata and allows for classifications at the study level. Encord also provides custom review workflows designed to support FDA clearance.
No. Encord provides dedicated migration tools and expert support to ensure a smooth transition from Labelbox.
