I have found over some years that it serves all my needs for tagging and keywording, as my photo/video collection has grown it still holds true. For me the stand alone version is important, as I do not always have internet or mobile access. Have tried the keyword/tagging in a variety of photo software, ie Lightroom, ZonerPhoto, Elements etc, they are OK but lack the strength of Daminion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion? Nothing really, it works for me, that said of course it will not work for all, but I am happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Daminion: Like most things you have to try it first, if it meets 75% of your needs then go for it. I find it intuitive to use and nice and simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Daminion solving and how is that benefiting you? In my case it has stopped me loosing valuable photos/videos, and finding them so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome Programs (RECOMMENDED)" 5/5 What do you like best about Daminion? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion? The only thing that I dislike about Daminion is that you have to create a catalog in order to process any of your images. I would love to just be able to do it on the fly since I am writing the information into the file itself. I don't have a need for a separate catalog to store the information as a backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Daminion: Give the product a try if you're interesting in writing meta-data directly to your photographs in bulk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Daminion solving and how is that benefiting you? The business problem that I solved using Daminion is that able to get my work done faster so I'm able to get product to my clients sooner giving me the ability to move on to the next project as quickly as possible.

Daminion very flexible: [1] allows to import all sorts of files: text files (like PDF), pictures, sound bits, movies... and retrieve them selecting whatever search option is convenient: import date, file type, keywords (tags)... [2] a number of preset tags are useful, but Daminion allows user-defined tags too, which is helpful, in my case, to search e.g. for key topics, historical events, and animal species. [3] support is very good: very responsive and helpful suggestions. I really appreciate the good communication. You're communicating with a human, not a system. [4] it's small: the catalogue is just an 'umbrella', a file that remains fairly small (Mb's) and I can still access the files through a File Explorer. Daminion does not modify the original files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion? The're only one small thing I do not like: Daminion automatically imports tags that may be assigned to e.g. a PDF, like search keywords or author names. These tags 'pollute' the key structure that I have setup in Daminion, so I need to manually search for them to delete them. For the rest, I have a few small things on my wish-list: [a] password-protected catalogs and [b] the possibility to search for keywords that have 'zero' documents assigned (e.g. that are not used and can be deleted. This would allow me to clean up the keyword structure as sometimes keywords are accidentally or incorrectly entered and not used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Daminion: Trying it is for free (up to many records), so there's nothing really that prevents you from using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Daminion solving and how is that benefiting you? I work as a polar guide. Previously I kept all my files in a folder structure. But the overlaying structure that Daminion offers, allows me to access all these files in many different ways. Say: a scientific paper on "winter dispersion of Wandering Albatrosses of South Georgia" can now be retrieved by searching for author, bird species, non-breeding, migration, and through a lot of other search options. My polar guide works somewhat overlaps with my other freelance job as a photographer. I do not use Daminion for photo editing and cataloging, I've been using Lightroom before I started using Daminion. In theory both products somewhat overlap, but in practice I find they both do what they're best at, and for my work there's no real overlap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/27/2018 "Daminion - A Media Manager that still lack in feature but promising future." 4/5 What do you like best about Daminion? Daminion only restrict the numbers of item in your catalog, but at 15,000 that will be enough for most people. Upgrading your license will increase the maximum, or you can create another Catalog database instead. Aside from that their Filtering and Tagging system is much better than what other software have to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion? The weakness of Daminion is it slowly becoming what some people hate, the move into the "cloud". Ever since the creation of Daminion Server, the plan is in place to make the offline standalone version obsolete in the near future. Eventually stop updating the Standalone version all together (hopefully that is not the case). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Daminion: If you need Photo Editing then Daminion might be very weak in that aspect, Lightroom probably the one to go. However, Daminion management is triumph. If you need to go Reverse searches or image searches, digiKAM have this beauty feature that maybe few more years time before Daminion have it, but thanks to Daminion tagging and filtering system you can find what you looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Daminion solving and how is that benefiting you? Daminion providing a possible to filter, tag and manage a large collection of file, mainly it purpose is Photo (DAM), but unlike a commercial software such as Adobe Lightroom, file type is not restricted. You can pretty much have Daminion import any filetypes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Retired Oil & Energy Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/6/2018 "Great editor of metadata and photo review" 4/5 What do you like best about Daminion? Batching of modifications and quick navigation. So far so good - still learning and exploring functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion?

I need a software capable of: 1. writing metadata to images as to sidecars xml files 2. operating with a locally database under Windows 3. managing at least 20000 images, from a PC 4. creating a set of hierarchical keywords 5. tagging with these hierarchical keywords 6. applying pre-defined copyright text to images 7. applying star-ratings to images compatible with NEF files 8. allowing images to be found by searching on using multiple tags 9. I need a user-friendly DAM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion? The thing that i most dislike is the way "~Thumbs folder" is organized. All the thumbnail are grouped under folsders and subfolders. It is very slow to backup with all those subfolders. I think that a SQL databese for these thumbnails would be faster to back up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Daminion: I tested many other softwares (ACDSee Pro, Daminion, DigiKam, Photo Supreme, iMatch and Phase One Media) over a period of almost one year. I compared each software with my needs which are listed in the previous section. Daminion responded to all of them. Then I tested Daminion thoroughly. After using it for two months, I decided to replace Microsoft Expression Media. I think Daminion is an excellent choice for those who need a DAM this is robust. Also Daminion offer a very good support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Daminion solving and how is that benefiting you?
