Case studies
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 offers a comprehensive data management solution with tools for organizing, exploring, and refining large datasets. This enables teams to consolidate data curation and annotation workflows into one platform, reducing the need to build fragmented data infrastructure. Our platform features more advanced data curation features such as filtering, natural language search, embedding plots for visualizing data, and automatic error detection.
Encord provides superior video annotation with native video rendering, advanced object tracking, no downsampling, and precise frame-by-frame analysis while preserving temporal context. Our platform enables significantly faster and more accurate video annotation at scale while maintaining consistency across frames.
Encord has a dedicated Active component for integrated model evaluation across all modalities, offering tools for error analysis, performance metric reporting, and active learning workflows. While SuperAnnotate provides tools for LLM evaluation, Encord is a truly multimodal platform.
Encord provides more flexible data structuring capabilities with complex hierarchical classification structure, enabling sophisticated annotation schemas with nested ontologies of unlimited depth and dynamic attributes.
Traditional annotation platforms focus primarily on labeling workflows, requiring teams to build or integrate additional tools for data management, quality assurance, and model validation. Comprehensive platforms handle the complete data lifecycle, reducing engineering complexity and accelerating development cycles.
No. Encord makes migration straightforward with dedicated tools and support from our expert team, allowing you to quickly benefit from our more advanced and comprehensive platform capabilities.
Forget fragmented workflows, annotation tools, and Notebooks for building AI applications. Encord's Data Development platform accelerates every step of taking your model into production.
