CommonSpot vs. Gemini

I do actually think CommonSpot is pretty well suited when the organization that you work for requires very specific parameters on site design. It was very clear what could be used and what could not in the design of individual department pages. The other thing I think CommonSpot is best suited for is website content management done by people with little or no website content management experience. It's very intuitive and easy to use and thus, easy to train people on.

As I described in the initial use case, Mac storage is a premium, so having a tool that helps your storage stay clean is incredibly useful. Almost always, duplicates are wasted space, so Gemini is a single purpose tool that helps you identify duplicates easily for quick clean up of your Mac's hard drive. Point of fact, it'll help clean up your cloud storage space too, if you select your cloud sync folders on your machine as well!

• I think CommonSpot's greatest strength is its ease of use. It's relatively intuitive in it's usage, so it therefore makes it easy to train new people to use it.
• Within my usage of it, our options were limited, which again added to it's ease of use.

• File De-Duplication - Gemini does a great job of finding files that are bit-for-bit identical to each other. Typically these are caused by user replication, and Gemini sniffs them out and displays them for easy user decisions.
• Similar Photo identification - Got a lot of similar photos, but not the exact same one? That's ok, this is a huge source of wasted space, and Gemini can deal with these too. If you're a "spray and pray" type of photographer, Gemini will help you clean up near-duplicate photos, helping you keep only the best.
• Fast File Triage - Once Gemini has identified all these duplicates, what do you do with them? Gemini helps you triage the list of duplicates and easily decide which copies to keep. This is handy if you want to keep all files in the X folder, but not in the Y folder.

• Commonspot needs to improve on its authoring feature. It is impossible to author on more than one page at a time . (One must always click on "View work on all changes") before switching between pages otherwise, the changes will not be saved.
• CommonSpot does not support sharing the definition of any custom element or any template layouts. Therefore, one must recreate these in each site.
• In Commonspot, a user who has to manage content in multiple sites will have to log in to each site to see and act on any actions.

• Sometimes when I search for an Ad Group, duplicates appear. But when I go into the Campaign and look for the Ad Group, there is only one.
• The line in which it says which Campaign and then Ad Group you are in should be frozen so that it would easier to select the Campaign to go back & then into a different Ad Group.
• You can't search for a keyword by its affiliate id. That is extremely frustrating. When I search for a keyword by its name, it brings up all keywords with that name, no matter what match type it has.

Gemini's development team continues to improve the product and provides a comprehensive roadmap of upcoming features that makes you want to upgrade as soon as a new version comes out.

I had no previous background in content management, and found it very easy to use. If I could figure it out, I am pretty certain that just about anyone else could as well.

I've never had any problems with the support for the Gemini application itself, but it seems every time I re-install (on a single machine), I run into a licensing issue. As a result, I need to go to the app's website and request that my activation key gets reset or resent. In either case, it's a pain, but as I have to reinstall infrequently, it's a small price to pay for an otherwise solid application.

Commonspot works in tandem with Zendesk very well to accomplish tasks an an efficient manner.

• Updating the bids was quick and efficient.
• Dealing with the duplicate ad groups when searching for them was frustrating and complicated.
• It took time to go through the campaign and then search for the ad group to discover no duplicates.
• Not being able to search by the affiliate id also meant that it took me longer to update the bids for the keywords because I had to check to see which match type it was before updating.
