"Brandfolder: My company uses this to share files with crew members system wide. Sharing pictures and videos are easy. They're easy to navigate and locate files and create folders. I am interested in what else brandfolder can do and will look into other aspects that can help my team out as well. Dashboards and data integration are high on my list."

"Fantastic : We bought this product to help us organize and search our photo library, but one of the best features is the ability to quickly share galleries with large file sizes throughout our company and with our vendors. It's big for us since we have fairly strict email limits and no tools like dropbox for security. They've also added the ability to store other files, like videos and Photoshop and InDesign files, so I can easily throw a template in where all the designers have access to it rather than having to search for it on a server or someone's desktop.

"Great For Collaborative Teams: Image Relay makes sharing image and video assets easier for collaborative teams that may not work in the same location. Uploading photos and video is quick and easy, and having the option to tag before is helpful when uploading in bulk. The search function is reliable and makes finding an asset quick and easy."

""Speedy and simple approach to get customer criticism.": What I like best about wiredrive is it's remarking framework. Transfer a video and add remarks with direct connects to time stamps of where explicitly the remark is alluding to spares me time.I like the way that when I have to get something before somebody in a rush and I don't have room schedule-wise to sit tight for the forward and backward with a post organization or to such an extent that I can thump it out myself and get it before the group instantly.Sharing joins effectively and that it is so natural to set up tasks/client logins. I use it consistently so it's extremely extraordinary and simple to utilize! It's incredible for expansive efficiency"

"Content Specialist: I like the hands-on support that the Widen team provides, from technical problem-solving to strategy development support.
I like that this isn't a one-track digital asset management system - everything in the Collective can be worked different ways, connections between assets are easy to see, and there potential to do something a new way is supported by the interface. "

"Awesome Programs (RECOMMENDED): The thing that I like best about Daminion is it's ability to batch write tags and other vital information directly into a file i.e. meta-data etc."

"More than just an asset library!: I like how easy it is to bulk upload assets to IntelligenceBank. Just drag and drop! Also the navigation of the site is super easy but modern. I Having a preview of the files live on the site is fantastic so you can see what you're downloading. "

"Archivist's Dream: Canto's Cumulus software has been a wonderful tool for storing and retrieving digital assets. I began as an Archivist with a group who was already using the software, but had not really taken much time to learn what it can do. That was my job. Almost immediately I hit the ground running, and I could not be happier with Cumulus as a tool. It is incredibly customizable, and you can manipulate the software to do pretty much anything digital assets management might require. That might be it's only downside too: The software is so customizable that it may take a little bit f tinkering to get things exactly the way you want them, but their training staff do an excellent job of making sure the users aren't lost in a sea of options. They do a wonderful job of helping you customize the software to make it work for you. I sleep well at night knowing that Cumulus is storing our digital assets, and I do not worry about data loss. Cumulus is digital assets management at its finest."

"Extensis Portfolio has been a valuable resource for our corporate archive.: While the catalog of our repository is updated with library automation software, Portfolio provides a visual representation of our collection that is easily searchable and that can be shared with other departments in our building. I particularly appreciate having the capacity to make batch edits and develop PDF's with selected images. Being able to upload photos in a variety of formats (ex. tif, jpg) to the same space without having to convert the images to the same format increases our work efficiency. "

"Get to Know Your Digital Assets on MediaValet: MediaValet has a well-rounded framework for familiarizing users with digital assets, beginning with their onboarding process, during which users are encouraged to metatag their assets three different ways: categories, attributes, and keywords. Adding these tags allows users to easily search for assets as well as simplifies folder and file naming conventions. "

"Beautiful and Highly Intuitive Interface: This platform is the perfect combination of function and form. It's beautiful and very easy to navigate through. There are ways to customize everything on the backend so it does get technical, but it's not overwhelming to understand. The pricing structure is very affordable, too, if you're searching for something beyond a basic DAM that works really hard."

"NetX DAM: NetX DAM has been a great benefit for our organization. Prior to establishing our DAM, visual assets were local server based and very difficult to access across our organization. NetX has corrected that issue and now any team member can access our assets at any point. Also the training and support from NetX has been incredible. Without their hands-on assistance establishing the DAM would have been more difficult and taken more time."

"Newscasts made easy: I like how easy it is to use iNews. I come from a TV station that use ENPS. I was completely unfamiliar with iNews and I felt like I got a hang of it within a week or two. The different colors make it easy to scroll through the rundown and see what's completed and what needs to be finished"

"Easy to learn how to produce: ENPS was the first program I used in a newsroom. I was a young producer out of college who had no idea how to actually build rundown. ENPS made it so easy because everything was color coded. Yellow means nothing is inside the script, Red means something is in the segment. It makes it easy scroll through and see what needed to be done. Most programs have this, but my favorite thing about ENPS is how Segments get blocked together. You can add a 1shot, VO, and SOTVO line but it will all be one self-contained unit unlike iNews. That makes it easier to move stories around and kill them last second."

"CONTENTdm meets needs of academic department within large university: We have been using CONTENTdm since 2002 (pre-OCLC) when the Libraries first started building access to digital collections. Because of its longevity in our institution, we have stayed with it. Impressions of it are generally positive. It has allowed my small academic unit to have a fully functional and searchable teaching collection of images that is accessible to the entire university, including our many branch campuses. In that respect, it meets our needs nicely."

"An excellent platform that keeps us on-brand internally as well as externally : We are an international fragrance house creating fragrances for licensed brands. We have our own corporate brand identity but also a number of sub-brands for our technologies. Our brand logo finder is fantastic because everyone can drill down to exactly the right logo for their use which improves brand consistency. The brand guidelines make it easy to educate teams on our vision and mission, in short about why our company exists, which is vital to us communicating consistently externally. The artwork and templates make it easy for any team in the business to get hold of the materials they need and being able to view artwork and videos before they get downloaded saves lots of time and frustration. The site is very visual and cleverly designed which staffs find instantly useful and easy to navigate."

"A smart app for those who wish to turn their photos into cash: My favourite thing about Foap is how easy it is to learn the ins and outs of the app and how the program itself works. I also love the fact that Foap allows all kinds of users, from amateur to professional photographers, to be able to make money. Foap connects you with international brands and is a great marketplace to bring your photos to potential buyers in a very simple way. "

"Easy to use digital asset manager.: Elvis allows my team to collaborate on designs and lets us keep track of what publications the assets was used in. Simple user interface with the ability to share with outside clients for image approvals, comments, and allows you to set a time limit on how long you want to share a link to assets. Drag and drop upload with batch tagging is good feature.
