1. Format: The format is clean and efficient. I like that the folders are set up on the left and the images are viewed on the right. It allows a quick navigation through photos.
2. Pricing: Image Relay offers affordable and reasonable price plans without having to email or call for a quote. Most of the DAM sites I research require an email or call for a quote and who has time to do that! Also you get what you pay for and then some with Image Relay.
2. Bookmarking: I've accidentally clicked out of Image Relay several times and when I return to the site, the history immediately takes me back to where I was instead of to the beginning (like most sites). It automatically bookmarks where I was working.
4. Collections: This feature is brilliant. It allows you to present a portfolio to clients in a clean, efficient layout.
5. File Download/Upload: File transfers are very quick even the emails for the links for large zipped files.
6. File Transfer: Since Image Relay offers user-friendly file sharing, I no longer use Dropbox which requires too many steps to share your files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't found any features that I dislike. There doesn't seem to be any downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Image Relay probably every single day I am at work. I constantly receive requests for various product images and Image Relay makes it so streamlined and easy to browse all available options and select what I need. My favorite feature is being able to share a set of photos via a link instead of having to download all of the files onto my computer each time. Such a game changer!

I really do not have any complaints about this platform! It is easy to access, well organized, and makes my job easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We liked the clean, simple interface of Image Relay, primarily because our in-house clients were frustrated by the complexity of using our previous DAM. Also, the IR search function is highly accurate and returns results almost instantly (of course, proper tagging and keyword descriptions of images helps a lot). Setting up and managing the tag library was also very easy to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only drawback that regularly comes up is that if you want to grab a large number of images from a screen, but not every single one displayed on a page, you have to click the checkbox on each image. We hope that a future update will include the capability to click and drag to select a quantity of images on a page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Im curious why a ZIP Folder link has to be emailed instead of downloading straight from the browser? All other cloud storage/ digital asset management software allows users to download with one click providing they have permission to access to the assets they're trying to download.

1. It took 40 minutes to download 133mb ZIP folder :( Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive have all the same features, if not more, with quicker performance.
2. If a non user is sent a link to a folder owned by an Image Relay user, there is no option to download the entire folder at once. This makes it hard for your users to share "THEIR" files with non users. Other asset management tools have much more flexibility in this regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Photo tagging capabilities make searching and organizing really easy. The collections feature is helpful when needing to share images that are too high res to send via email. Multiple download sizes makes it easy for this tool to work for our entire organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes if search is not exact you do not get the results you are looking for, would be nice if search was a little more complex. Also some similar tools allow you to connect directly to Adobe or a website such as Wordpress if that is where you are working with assets which would be a nice feature to have.

Digital asset management with Image Relay is very easy and comfy job. It has taught me what I have to deliver exactly to my customers so that I can grab their attention. Now I am at ease of launching the campaigns. Previously it was difficult to send the couple of images in emails and of course I have to send them in compressed form, which again was a hectic job for the receiver, if their system does not have any un-zipping application. But with Image Relay I have related on this application for my all day working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are having a great experience with this application and I did come across any particular issue. If there comes any problem we get in touch with their customer service providers and they are always ready to help. This tool is our everyday necessity and we are happy to be its satisfied customers.

Assets can be clearly organized into meaningful folders with custom tags for easy searching. The ability to see images of the assets as well in the main viewing panel allows for much easier identification of needed assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be nice to be able to drag and drop folders or files instead of having to select them individually and then scroll down in the options to select the folder to move the asset to. It is a little cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use is the simplest way to describe it. Downloading images and transferring to a website could not be any easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes there is a delay when switching folders, but that is minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I consider pixel Relay extremely easy navigation and to use. You can upload the photos in larger quantities, attach keywords to facilitate the search and organization of the pictures in boxes. You may connect users as well, and offer them various permissions rates. A few of of yours favourite games has been able to produce "photo collections" and then share out the collection. It allows you the freedom to upload certain images and have someone open them without allowing them to vote through your whole archive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This would be good if HTML files could be visualized directly inside Image Relay, you actually have to import them to display them correctly. Occasionally loading takes a little longer, but I think that depends on how many files and sizes certain files are within the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Image Relay interface is very user-friendly and the ability to view our images in such high-res, clear layouts is great. The folder organization is very intuitive and easy to follow and the tagging has been a huge help in organizing our assets and sharing/coordinating with our larger team. The bulk upload was SUCH a welcome addition to our workflow and the luxury of tagging as you upload is great. We also use the bulk tagging tool frequently and enjoy the various bulk features that help us stay efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The collections feature is not as robust as our team often needs. For example, we use collections to curate imagery for press opportunities, publications and spreads and more, and the options to curate and sort collections after you've created them are lackluster. All you can basically do is download or delete images, but we'd like more options to curate and sort so that teams can collaborate and narrow down final imagery. Also, while we love the bulk upload tool, there was a feature that allowed you to add tags to your categories as you uploaded, but that feature no longer works. We would use that daily so hopefully that can be fixed soon. I also wish that basic user accounts had a bit more access to upload images. We have multiple support roles in our company that help manage our assets and this functionality would be great for lower-level accounts as I often have to do the uploading and then let them know when to add tags.

I like all of the great search functions and the visuals make it easy to navigate. You can search by colors and orientation which is very helpful when looking for images for social media. It is also very intuitive on how it navigates and how to setup the folders. The collections are a really fun feature and great to share new additions. The support is truly amazing! Thank you Sophy, you have been a rockstar! The folder permissions were very easy to setup. I like all of the great self-help options and tutorials that the company has put together for their users.

I dislike that you cannot drag and drop images around once they are saved. Meaning I wish you could copy and pasted instead of going through all of the folder steps to copy an image. I wish you could share to Instagram, hopefully soon that will be updated. I also think that there should be more than two permission types basic and admin are the only two. Something else I encountered that could be improved is the downloading function when the files are too big they get zipped but then they never actually get emailed to me so I don't know where they go.

I like how user friendly Image Relay is. It's easy to find what you're searching for and from the admin side it's simple to keep everything organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the analytics. I wish there was more data to view about what users download and the most commonly used assets or what people search for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Image Relay features a very straightforward user interface and (if you take the time to put in proper metadata, which is easy to do) up front, EVERYTHING is easily searchable in the future. Sending files to outside sources is a snap and 100% reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been a graphic designer in some capacity for nearly two decades, and this is by far the easiest, most user-friendly platform I've used. With an organization as large as ours, it's nice to have digital assets so easily accessible and all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm pretty happy with most of the features. The search function is extremely helpful and the ux experience is fairly intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy how a variety of our different creative media departments are able to add the most up to date content. Often in the past I have had to reach out to many different individuals for headshots, logos, PowerPoints templates, etc., but now it is all found in one convenient place. Everything we need is searchable by facility, department, marketing materials, logos, branding, etc. There are just so many ways to easily find whatever I need.

Most of my initial issues were user error problems, but were quick fixes upon using the site more frequently. Initially I experienced trouble logging into the site, but I was unaware there were two different types of login options from the home page. I was informed by a coworker to use our organization single sign on in the Ochsner Health employee login section. Upon recognizing my error, I was able to login easily from there on out.

It is an extremely simple and effective way to store and organize images so they are searchable. The help team is also quick to respond to questions in the live chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They recently issued a new uploader that has made it difficult to edit captions that are longer than a few words, and it also requires more clicks to complete the upload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
