“For ease in creating custom multimedia storytelling experiences, Shorthand is the way to go. But what has been as impressive as their platform is their customer support. They are always quick, efficient, and treat me and my team with personal professionalism that is often lacking from tech companies.”Reviewer of G2Read more reviews on G2
