Next Level Digital Asset Workflow **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jesse T. | Associate Art Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** Globaledit helps maintain our digital asset library and is extremely intuitive. Working with internal and external users is easy and seamless. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** The interface is a bit basic and could be more aesthetically pleasing especially being a service for creatives. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Housing all digital assets, allowing for collaboration on selects and rounds of retouching, easy to access for Designers ### 2. A seamless workflow integration, great asset to have! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** Globaledit has been a great tool to utilize, as a retoucher it allows my team and I to work seamlessly with our remote counterparts – creative and art directors across the country are able to easily make selects and leave notes in any format that are all immediately available on our end. It's an intuitive, easy to use software with a responsive client solutions team. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** Not necessarily a downside, but one area of opportunity would be the ability to download raw files with layered markups – being able to download raw images straight from globaledit has been a game changer and added efficiency to our workflow, so much so I'd love to take it a step further and be able to download the markups right along with those raw files which isn't currently possible. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Globaledit has helped cut down on our file retrieval + download time as retouchers massively, we're able to go into the software and download raw files directly - which has been a nice addition to efficiency. It's incredibly nice to have downloads + reviews + final image delivery all contained within one place. ### 3. Using globaledit for reviewing files, mark ups and approvals has made my job more efficient. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** I really like using the Markups where I can choose to select a portion of the image and write a comment. I also like uploading updates as a version that stacks on top of the original file to easily compare before/after. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** What I dislike about globaledit is the cost and charges for storage space. Every version of a file uses up more storage space. We end up having to go back and delete original files in order to save storage space to reduce costs. There is not a way to batch delete original assets either, so it becomes time consuming to do this. I do not like the glitches that have come with the functions of the import bot color and label automations and not having a way to batch change those import bot color tags and labels when needed. I also do not like that I cannot batch rename files in globaledit. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having a safe and reliable online space for our image assets where anyone anywhere who we want to have access to our files can have access to our files. Retouchers and Art Directors can markup files for requested corrections and upload updates as a new versions. ### 4. Great overall! Need faster access to downloading **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** What I enjoy the most is its capacity to organize & visually / quickly see the assets I need or am looking for. I also really like how quickly I can sign in with my Google account. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** I think the download times can be much faster and have a more visible download button available. Lastly, I would say that the upload process should be streamlined without needing a USB or drive, and simply house the assets like a cloud would, but again I'm not aware if this process is exclusive to my company or GE. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** For the most part, once the assets are live & approved for usage, I have no issues downloading what I need when I need them, however my team who actually uploads the assets says its takes time for the uploads to take place. ### 5. The improvements over previous versions **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ferenc P. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 25, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** The simplicity on the workflow helps. it has been a bit of improvement over previous versions of the software, personally I liked better the desktop version of the program. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** Notes for review are still very clunky. It feels like dealing with a early windows based program, the logic of creating first the note and then assigning the reference visually is not user friendly. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Just the workflow that goes from photo studio down the pipeline for retouchers to fix items is good, just the way to mark and make notes is very clunky and sometimes you get annoyed ### 6. I got back control of my digital workflow **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew D. | Photographer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** As a photographer, the platform has given me back complete control of my digital workflow while at the same time, providing service to my commercial and celebrity clients. Instead of sending costly drives and loosing my creative voice and control of selects and proofs, I can still create with my clients without compromising the integrity of my work. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** Every software is a work in progress that needs continual development and improvement. The team at Global Edit are hands on collaborating with their users getting real life feedback and gaining massive improvements as a result. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** GE is a godsend for talent approvals, collaborative feedback on stills and video projects clientside. And on the backend I'm able to control and collaborate directly with my studio manager, digital tech and retouching lab. ### 7. I use because of my company but this website is difficult to navigate. **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emma H. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** I like when it works! I like when I can get the correct hires images to our vendors efficiently and smoothly. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** A lot of times it is hard to locate the hires images I need - the search sometimes does not work but if I try again it will fix itself. I also have an issue with sharing to vendors - I should be able to share collections with them but I have to contact tech support occasionally to fix this issue. This holds up production and is something I want to eliminate. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use GE to send hires images safely to vendor to us in physical prints for the stores. ### 8. Strong and Intuitive Photo Management Platform **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Caroline V. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** I have enjoyed my experience working with GE. The platform provides an easy way for a high-growth scaling organization to manage all imagery and easily communicate with one another. The platform is intuitive and allows new users to get onboarded quickly. As a Director of Marketing, I love how the platform will enable me to create albums and photo groups so I can better plan my content strategy! Highly recommend! **What do you dislike about globaledit?** There isn't much that I do not like about Globaledit! For my use as a marketer, I think the platform functions very well. As of now I do not have any recommendations to improve the platform for my needs! **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Globaledit is solving the problem surrounding photo management and a scaling business. There are a number of key stakeholders that need to be involved in the content planning process. GE allows us to efficiently streamline communication on key photos within campaigns. ### 9. Workflow improved! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** CASSANDRA B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** Globaledit has been a great tool for my approval workflow. It is user-friendly and easy to navigate. The markup tool is a fast way to provide feedback to my team and clients. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** Globaledit is a little slow when downloading images. The markup tool can sometimes be a little buggy, but it's not a significant issue. Keyboard short cuts would be great to have when switching between markup tools. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Providing markups and feedback to my team and vendors. ### 10. GlobalEdit facilitates the post-production process in a single system. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** What I like most about GlobalEdit/what I use the most is the markups tool. It's so helpful to be able to draw and type markups onto an image and be able to view an image with and without those markups. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** I recently tried using the GlobalEdit Photoshop Plug-in tool and was disappointed that every action had to be done to images individually, not in batches. It's not an efficient workflow for me, and I can't continue to use the plug-in as it is now. I'm looking forward to seeing what upgrades there are for the plug-in in the future. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** GlobalEdit is solving our post-production selects process as well as asset review/image feedback process. ### 11. User-friendly, simple photography tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** The tool is intuitive and connects cross-functional teams seamlessly. The platform allows the teams to add assets at the time of shoot and work through edits and reviews. Additionally, collections allow us to share final edits to marketing and other cross-functional teams easily that increases visibility and transparency for the look and feel for a given season. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** Would love the ability to download reporting that tracks user activity, capacity/storage (how close are we to our max amount of storage?), and ability to create groups of users that can be leveraged to share collections. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Prior to GE, assets were saved on the server, and it was difficult to find particular images or videos. Now, not only can we see all the photography flowing through for a given season, we can create collections and contact sheets that we can share internally or key vendors to prep for upcoming seasons. ### 12. Globaledit is a great content organization system for us. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rich B. | D, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2023 **What do you like best about globaledit?** I like that we can easily share links and organize files for easy finding. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** The search feature could use some work. We wish you were able to search for any word containing instead of exact. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's our central location for all teams to all access our campaign content in one place. We can make selects and organize by different files. ### 13.

Our clients are happy and we are happy! ### 41. Excellent application for organizing large photo shoots. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2015 **What do you like best about globaledit?** Highly customizable metadata panels allow us to store an extensive amount of information. The markup tool is excellent, as is the ability to create lightboxes and contact sheets to send to anyone regardless of organization. The sheer amount of customizability in terms of user & group permissions and assignments can be a bit overwhelming, but is a great feature to have. Really useful keyboard shortcuts and only showing the user the features they need in front of them help it to appear very user friendly, even though there are endless options if you dig deep enough. Their support staff is very helpful and they seem to put a lot of work into their product. Feature requests are taken seriously and the product is gradually improving. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** It can run slowly at times, and throw errors, but the support team is helpful in diagnosing issues. Apparently they say they are upgrading the platform to HTML5 soon to make the system more quick & stable. Importing and exporting files requires the additional usage of the Aspera plugin, which isn't that bad in itself, but it requires many clicks, notifications and download managers, even to download a single contact sheet PDF. A drag & drop interface, or one that is a bit more intuitive, would make it much more user friendly. The massive amount of customization is helpful but can get in its own way sometimes. For example, someone without permission to approve an image can ostensibly send it in a lightbox for someone else to approve, but lightboxes inherit permissions (though it's not explicitly stated anywhere); there is no way for the user to know that the recipient can't actually approve that image through the lightbox, even if the recipient has the proper permissions. Many "features" like this simply take time to get used to and a solid workflow is absolutely necessary to begin with before diving in. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our in-house photographers produce many small, complex shoots (1-3 shots every few hours), and this program isn't really built for that sort of workflow, though it is possible. Where it's really helped us is on location shoots, editorial shoots with freelance photographers, etc. When on location or shooting over several days, it's very useful to be able to have photographers upload as they shoot, so photo editors/retouchers can get to work immediately, since time is of the essence and without globaledit this generally takes several additional days. It cuts down the time needed to review images, make selects, and relay notes and markup by a ton. In addition, simply having the ability to store tens of thousands of our editorial assets in the cloud and available via a web or iOS app, giving our entire organization (plus others, if we wish) the ability to see, use or be inspired by them - for a relatively low price - is huge. ### 42. GlobalEdit is the most productive workflow tool I have used in the past five years **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2015 **What do you like best about globaledit?** GlobalEdit has a remarkably powerful suite of workflow tools and can handle a variety of tasks. It provides tremendous value and provides great time savings. Markups, comments, notifications, etc are easy to manage. The mobile app and Transport are also great value adds. GlobalEdit also provides outstanding customer service and its team is very passionate about the product. Metadata customization is also terrific. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** There is a little bit of learning curve. GlobalEdit has an excellent support page to ease some of that, but users need to take the time to learn it. It is not difficult and once a routine is established, that pain dissipates quickly. **Recommendations to others considering globaledit:** If GlobalEdit comes close to addressing your business need it is an investment that is well worth the cost. It can help in more ways than just providing a DAM-like interface. **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using GobalEdit for potshot review. It replaces having to do massive uploads to local servers and passing around hard drives. It saves so much time, especially being able to view images on the fly., We are able to get images from a shoot retouched quicker. Art directors have access to them quicker. Reviews are onscreen and not on paper where they often get lost. We produce contact sheets for review too. ### 43. I work with Global Edit on a daily basis, this is a great tool to assist in photo workflow! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ashley M. | Director of Production, Photography, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2015 **What do you like best about globaledit?** Global Edit helps me see the scope of images I have coming in, and what each images requirements are. Its great to keep organized and collaborate with clients who are in different time zones. Everything comes in neat and organized, and is great for sharing images with multiple creative teams. The Global Edit team is great in assisting me with any needs I may have. **What do you dislike about globaledit?** Sometimes I have a hard time finding the right drop down to complete a task, this is largely a user error on my part :/ **What problems is globaledit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Reaching many teams at once and receiving feedback in one place, really saves on confusion and piecemeal direction. The filter tool is very useful on large jobs, to be able to sort within 150+ images to just find the 20 with markups for example has been a huge time saver, and frustration saver! ## globaledit Discussions - [What is globaledit used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-globaledit-used-for) - [View globaledit pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/globaledit/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-19+11%3A41%3A40+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=01a39a06-c7cc-4605-b287-2cce0e99aea2&secure%5Btoken%5D=007554b9092b82f708772a095a84c4c5a952b404c96a2f7d95e357d2c9937f01&format=llm_user) ## globaledit Features **Interface and Performance** - Import/Export - Organizational Interface - Search - File Preview - Analytics **Asset Management** - File Types - Metadata - File Transformation - Versioning - Expiration - Watermark - Digital Rights Management - Brand Guidelines **Media Types** - Video - Audio - Images **Administration** - Workflow Management - User, Role, and Access Management - Brand Portal - Integration with Creative Software - Integration with Marketing Software **Agentic AI - Digital Asset Management** - Cross-system Integration ## Top globaledit Alternatives - [Acquia DAM (Widen)](https://www.g2.com/products/acquia-dam-widen/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (614 reviews) - [Brandfolder](https://www.g2.com/products/brandfolder/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (1,371 reviews) - [Bynder](https://www.g2.com/products/bynder/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,105 reviews)
