I love to use it when I need to rename a group of photos from one of my photographers because they named the files incorrectly. My team seems happy to use it from now and then in combination with InDesign and Photoshop

We have numerous renderings for some of our properties that are constantly being updated. It was hard to keep track of the most current rendering since it lived in multiple locations with various employees. Creating a central location where we can regularly update the renderings without having to add a new file and re-upload solved the issue of questioning whether the rendering you were looking at was correct.

Cons
  • It took me a while to figure out how to get Bridge to work faster. Apparently, you need it to cache your entire library and once that library is cached then it can refer to those files quickly.
  • It takes up more space on your computer and you should consider buying a computer with plenty of space and a great graphics card to help this program work at its best.
  • I wish it would recognize that firewall software and virus protection software isn't its enemy and work with them running all the time. This error doesn't always occur for me, but when it does, I am annoyed.

  • The search functionality sometimes is challenging
  • Many reminders about cookies - more than normal in the US at this time (due to EU compliance) - can be frustrating and confusing for our end users as not all US platforms have this

Usability
Adobe Bridge is useful as a jumping off point for file organization within the CC environment. It is a little slow and clunky at times but is useful for preliminary photography selection development including contact sheets, file renaming, and the overall selection process.

It is incredibly user-friendly and easy to navigate. Once you poke around, you intuitively learn how to use the platform. Our company provided training sessions for all employees during our official roll-out, and everyone seemed to have a good grasp on how to navigate this platform. We have yet to hear about an employee having difficulty using Bynder, which is a big win

When we were getting ready to switch vendors, WebDAM wasn't very responsive to my questions or my needs. They also sent me all the files on an external drive that was formatted for Mac and didn't even think to verify whether I had a PC (which I did) so the external drive was useless and I had to wait another week to get the updated external drive that was formatted for a PC that I could then use.

Okay so I've actually tried to use Lightroom. Photoshop is its own beast and doesn't have the catalog that Bridge of Lightroom has. Lightroom is not as powerful with being able to check between images, finding files, etc. I wanted to love it, but Bridge won hands down with all the time it has saved me so I can get back to my children instead of complaining that it takes me so much time to narrow down images

Once the issue was identified we looked at a damn lot of DAMs. Bynder, Media Valet, Webdam, Canto, Cumulus... I can't even remember them all. But that was the problem. There were too many. When one of our team evaluated Bynder he reported back vis a vis the legacy tools of Box/DropBox/Evernote... all of which had their adherents within our team and NONE of which came close to matching Bynder. So, the decision really became "do we switch now to Bynder, which everyone accepts, or do we spend a year thoroughly testing every other tool until we've broken up again into rival camps?" It was easy. If and when Bynder fails we may look again. But everything's going great now, so why open this can of worms?

Return on Investment
  • Convenience and ease in seeing all images at a glance and being able to select chosen images for use in Photoshop and XD
  • Saved us time through the batch rename functionality

  • Bynder has saved our creative and Marketing departments hours of time overall by minimizing the amount of time we are searching for asset requests and empowering employees to find what they need themselves.
  • Bynder has given us a platform to share lifestyle and product imagery that costs several thousand dollars overall; whereas before it was hard to share those assets in a way that they were utilized to their full potential. Now we don't have to wonder if we're wasting money on styled imagery or whether people are using it.
  • Overall the peace of mind Bynder gives us in terms of employees only using approved assets is pretty priceless.
