Assets are being used, not forgotten!
What do you like best about the product?
Image relay is extremely intuitive and easy to use. It has been helpful for all team members regardless what their role is and how they interact with assets. We haven't had to spend any time "training" because it is so easy to use. Whereas Salsify, we have had extensive training and are still not giving access to other employees quite yet.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that has been disappointing with Image relay is the Adobe plugin. It did not work as well as we anticipated and we ended up uninstalling the plugin because it was popping all the time while we were designing. We haven't tried it again but will likely install in the near future as I know there have been some updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a TON of digital assets both photo and video mainly for lifestyle. In the past, after a photoshoot there were so many photos it was very difficult to go through them and figure out what we have and how we can use them for campaigns. Now as soon as a photoshoot is over, we have images uploaded and tagged with product info, environment, related holidays...etc. This makes designing so much easier and feels like we have our own stock image library that is easy to seach and find exactly what we need. We store our graphics deliverables in image relay as well so it is easy to see what we have done and tagging images makes it easy to know if we have already used an asset.
Great tool for brands
What do you like best about the product?
It's like a better designed Google Drive on steroids. It's a great way to not only organize and store files, but to help define how and when to use them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding metadata can be a bit tedious, but it's worth it for functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It puts all my client's brand assets in one place and helps us to maintain brand consistency across the board. No more hunting through a combination of Google Drive, Dropbox, Notion, and Slack for assets.
Solid Platform for photo organization with good customer support
What do you like best about the product?
Image Relay provides an excellent interface for storing photos with multiple convenient options for searching, filing, and sharing images. It is incredibly intuitive. My organization also appreciates the user permission customization options, and we have heavily used the collections feature for external sharing. It is functionally internally, and professional in appearance for external-facing use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love for there to be an app. Otherwise, the only issue we have run into is consistently having people copy/paste the url for an image when trying to share rather an using the share button to generate a url.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing place for storing all photo and most video assets. Functions both internally for organization and externally for sharing assets.
True Game-change for our team to simplify asset sharing through a seamless platform
What do you like best about the product?
Image Relay has revolutionized the way I handle digital resources. It's an huge relief to say bye to email attachments and fully embrace the ease of sharing assets through secure links. Whether it's capturing impactful event photos, showcasing our marketing materials, or sharing important documents, Image Relay’s Asset Library has me meticulously organized. Collaborating with the team is so easy and I can effortlessly grant access to specific files. This level of streamlined collaboration has undoubtedly given our projects a significant competitive advantage.
What do you dislike about the product?
If there's anything to gently point out, it's that our internal team doesn’t use all the features that Image Relay has to offer. This isn't a fault of the system itself; but an opportunity for us and we plan to commit some time to work on this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Effectively managing and sharing digital assets is no small feat. However, Image Relay’s platform tackles these challenges head-on with their seamless platform that allows us to store, organize, and distribute everything from impactful event photos to brand guidelines and even product related content. It has significantly amplified our collaborative endeavors, ensuring our team and stakeholders remain seamlessly connected.
Implementing Image Relay
What do you like best about the product?
It is very helpful to have all of our product images and product data in one easily sharable location.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be complicated to use at times, and the software seems to be still in development for some features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to share product information with our distributors. We also need to rack product data comprehensively, which is not something we were able to do previously in an easy way.
Everything finally in one place!
What do you like best about the product?
Prior to Image Relay, our marketing assets were everywhere in various files. We love the seamless, intuitive interface and it's made a huge difference to have everything in one place. I also love the download button! Things download so quick, vs. other platforms that make you go through various windows, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
We really love the product overall! For future developments, it would be nice to include links in addition to actual files to connect some other documentation. As well as being able to customize collection pages more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything we have is finally in one place. We've been able to take a holistic look at our marketing and decide where to improve things once we see everything laid out. Sharing is also a ton easier amongst internal and external folks.
Fantastic platform with intuitive design!
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to use and colloborate with both internal and external partners.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I've come across so far to dislike this platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to share a tremendous amount of digital assets with many partners in super convenient, efficient manner.
New with Canto
What do you like best about the product?
Having everything in one place, smart tags, making it much easier for me to search for photography because of key words and smart tagging.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far the only issue I have is finding enough time to setup the DAM and get all of my assets put in. I have a very busy and hectic schedule that doesn't allow me much time to dedicate to this project yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to share files within my team, using portals for freelance photographers. Easy for me to search through photography to find what I need fast.
Canto in the newsroom
What do you like best about the product?
In our nonprofit news organization, we use Canto to organize photos and graphics. We were satisfied with other parts of our editorial workflow, but we needed a new way to manage images. Canto came to our attention as a new, affordable solution to the problem. It is easy to manage multiple users and easy for many coworkers relatively set in their ways to learn to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that really bothers me is the graphic interface, which is a little clumsy. Honestly, I think they just need better GUI design people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes it easier search for and find the photos we need when we need them. Also makes it easier to acquire photos from external sources bc we can just send them up and upload link and voila, there it is.
First DAM of our organization
What do you like best about the product?
This was the first DAM we adopted to help us continue to organize and distribute our growing media library. We love the customization!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have noticed large video files sometimes are too big to upload, and so we haven't used to house all our raw video assets
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing, accessing, and distributing our photos and final videos.
