Excellent Asset Management Platform
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can easily store and find files (images, docs, etc.) and also easily share files similar to a Dropbox.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app isn't the best. We have experienced problems with its functionality which is important because most professionals work predominantly on smart phones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to store everything in one place and easily share collateral among global teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to get as much training using the system is possible so you are familiar with all aspects and capabilities.
Your next editorial alternative
What do you like best about the product?
GatherContent has a sleek, easy to navigate interface combined with a comprehensive customization that enables any organization to tackle any content-driven project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their development team is constantly addressing items, so some of what I list here might already be coming down the pike.
1) Right now you cannot import into an existing template with Excel/CSV, so you have to import a file and then setup the template it auto-creates.
2) You cannot bulk delete single item owners. You would need to click into each item and remove, or remove all and add the other owners back on.
3) The API is getting better, but can be finicky at times.

Best product to smoothen the content process
What do you like best about the product?
It allows editors of website content to manage the creation, review and publication of lots of content simultaneously with multiple collaborators through one slick and easy online interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be sometimes slow. Sometimes the system freezes if it has a lot on content in the same page.

Accounting and Tax
Great platform! Have been using it a long time.

Super easy to use for our agency staff and clients.

Nothing really. It is simple to use and does not have a ton of nonsense that we do not need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Several years back we had issues with various edited versions of content being mixed up and misused. We tried many different options and Gather Content finally solved that for us. It is the longest running software we are using, and we plan to keep it indefinitely.

I really enjoy this idea of having connection
What do you dislike about the product?
I rather not nit pick but i dislike the level of transperncy

Lota of room to grow
DAM solution
What do you like best about the product?
Easy search accessibility for assets and easy sharing for users (both non bynder users and internal users)
What do you dislike about the product?
Still learning the platform just takes a bit of trial and error and a long process to upload assets and get the whole staff to become familiar and trained with the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Disorganization for DAM that we currently use - we do not have a system - benefits are that we do not have multiple versions of assets.
Gather content
What do you like best about the product?
It was a reliable solution to improve our content marketing policy. User friendly, time saving and no need to spend hours in meetings!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would need some guidelines concerning picture/ video quality and size
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Best to share , inform on changes and structure your content
Your best alternative!!!
What do you like best about the product?
These are some advantages:
- Guiderails: Inside the WYSIWYG editor, you can drag and drop new content elements, ranging from single lines of text to radio buttons to file attachments. What set this apart for me was the option to enter microcopy (a guiderail for content creators) and character/word limits. When editors are working on the page, mousing over a content element reveals the microcopy. When entering content, GatherContent tracks how much has been written.
- One-click basic site outline: This site map is automated, so that – as you build pages or drag over a sitemap into GatherContent – the site outline is always ready to be viewed, no work necessary. Sweet.
- Progress bar: It's one of those things a project manager obsesses over. GatherContent puts that right in everyone's face, with a clean little green/orange distinction.
- Create parts: That felt a bit strange to me. At least none of the CMS I've encountered made defining new parts so simple. For a product like this, that kind of customization might be brilliant.

What do you dislike about the product?
A couple less alluring perspectives:
- Concealed usefulness: Perhaps it was me, however there were certain tasks that I struggled with (assigning a page to a user, attaching content emailed to the project to a page, etc.). They can be done okay, but it took me a while to figure it out. Apparently, if you use this a bit, though, that issue disappears.
- No email push settings: This was more problematic. GatherContent sends project members emails every time something happens to pages you're working on. "You were assigned a page," etc. This is great, but – if you were working on a large project – it could soon become overwhelming. If there was anywhere in GatherContent you could change your notification status (what types of activities push you an email), I couldn't find it.
- No export directly to a CMS: This feels like a pretty essential function. I mean, you've developed a load of content in this awesome content workflow tool; now you want to publish it. Errrr, it'll only export as PDF or through an API (which is all cool if you have developers in your enterprise to code that for you – and I guess that's their target audience). Plugins to export directly to WordPress and ExpressionEngine are still inactive. Sigh.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GatherContent allows you to create layouts, assign tasks, set due dates, manage status, track history, comments, and much more! It's easier for me to manage, edit, review, and approve the website content, and for my team to ensure they have the final version to integrate into the site.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have any problem, you can contact support; they are very nice. You obviously need an internet connection. You must try it!!!
