The best parts about PhotoShelter for Brands, in my experience, are how easy the process of cataloguing photos is made, how helpful the AI search tool is, and how easy it is to share albums with our stakeholders. Once our photos are edited and tagged, uploading them into PhotoShelter takes only a few minutes. Creating new albums by year and by event helps for our archive, but also helps to send individual album links to students, faculty, and anyone who could use the photos. For alumni events, for example, it's as simple as sending a link to anyone in attendance and anyone with the link can download their own photo. Could easily add a password to more sensitive albums as well, like student headshots. Our university team also frequently relies on the AI Visual Search feature to significantly reduce time spent searching for an exact photo you need. For example, I can search "sunny campus", "student studying", "family smiling" and find a high quality photo in seconds. I can also simply search by file name or tags just as easily. Everyone on our marketing team uses PhotoShelter every day to search for photos. It also integrates seamlessly into our website to quickly pull photos for web updates.

It would be nice if PhotoShelter integrated with DropBox the way our tagging system does, PhotoMechanic. I'm not sure if PhotoShelter does have the capability, since the process my team uses has been in place for many years. Ideally, we could skip the middle man (PhotoMechanic – used for batch editing the metadata on our files in dropbox, which then gets put into PhotoShelter). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PhotoShelter Brands is an outstanding platform for managing and showcasing digital assets. It’s incredibly easy to use and intuitive, making it simple for teams of any size to get up and running quickly. The feature set is robust—AI-powered tagging for both photos and video saves countless hours by automatically organizing assets, while advanced AI search makes finding specific content effortless. Seamless integrations with popular tools keep workflows connected and efficient. The platform also makes it simple to collect user-generated content and provides a centralized system for distributing approved assets across channels. Overall, PhotoShelter Brands is a feature-rich solution that transforms how you collect, manage, and share your digital assets with your internal team, external audiences, and stakeholders.

I have no complaints about PhotoShelter Brands. Any issues or missing features I encountered over the years have been addressed or incorporated into their suite of services. The team is consistently responsive, receptive to ideas and feedback, and—most importantly—committed to taking action to improve the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about using PhotoShelter for Brands is how easy it is to find exactly the photo I’m looking for. The search function picks up on keywords, tags so I can narrow things down fast. Everything is organized in a way that just makes sense, so whether I need a shot from a specific event or a certain kind of image, I can get to it without wasting time digging around.

My team uses Photoshelter everyday and if any problems arise the custom support team is always there to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Switching between the Library, Portal, and Admin views in PhotoShelter can be a bit clunky and confusing, especially when you're trying to move quickly between tasks. It sometimes feels like you're jumping between separate systems instead of working within one platform. But with the rollout of the new Lumen view, everything is expected to become more streamlined and integrated. Once the full system is updated, navigating between different areas should feel a lot more seamless and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It just makes sense. Feels similar to file folder structure on a computer. Intuitive organization. No weird icons or search methods or anything crazy. It's just how it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it's sometimes difficult to do one-offs of things like permissions and general gallery sharing. I wish I could just generate a one-time use link and not have to worry about password protection all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using the photo library and the collections and galleries. I find that the support is really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think uploading images can be confusing at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to navigate. Easy to share with users and add metadata. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a download button on the images instead of having to go into them or use the actions dropdown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good front-end for media to view our photography, new AI search Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

back-end library is a bit slow. cost is very high Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the accessibility of stored pictures for both vendors and our organization employees. We do have MS SharePoint, but because of privacy protocols, we are unable to create public links to share our content. We also use PhotoShelter SSO functionality, which allows us not to worry that any of our employees or our external vendors and stakeholders would have access issues without spending extra time on sharing [with public sharing settings]. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From a technical /usability standpoint, some functionalities are limited or inconvenient. For example, when I tried to move Gallery to the Collection, which was on sublevel, it didn't move completely [it moved, but also stayed on the same level]. When I deleted it on the higher level, it disappeared from both levels, so I had to create a new collection in sub-level Collection - this way it worked ok. But I do see that the product team is working on improvements, so hopefully all those minor items will be fixed/improved in the foreseeable future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The public portal is a great way to be able to select. The AI tagging and search features are very useful for searching through large amounts of files without spending too much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we had more user seats for the price we pay. The limited number of editor seats makes for some potential complications for a team of more than a few people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
