Getty Images Enterprise Solutions vs. Unsplash for Brands

Getty Images Enterprise Solutions jells well with our organizational needs and is now a very useful bank.

If someone is in a specific or super-niche industry, they may not find that Unsplash for Brands is a good option for them. I would say their site and their library of photographic images are a bit more general -- so if you need something stylized, it may not be the place for you.

• High Quality Old stock footage
• Backgrounds Images for presentations
• Audio Resources are also quite very well

• Provides beautiful natural and in action photos
• Provided royalty free imagery which is great for charities who have a budget or not budget for photography
• Photos are more stylistic and creative than traditional stock sites like Adobe, iStock, Shutterstock

Incentivized

• The price point is typically not workable for smaller orgs
• Video/Music assets are not as strong as the photography library
• Vector-based assets are often built in strange ways that aren't always easy to manipulate

Incentivized

• The layout and UX is not as friendly as many other similar platforms.
• Search engine could be improved.
• Bulk download would be wonderful.

I need to learn a little more about the product and its capabilities before I give a higher review. However, the availability of image trending is far superior to Getty or Getty Enterprise.

Easy to search multiple images and stock footage from the past is really helping us to deliver the content fast to our viewers. It is rather more expensive to send the reporter to remote place than the overall cost of the subscription for any large scale channels who need to depend on authenticated sources.

I could probably rattle after a dozen 'stock' photo companies that tout claims such as '$1 downloads, etc.' but don't bite on them, their libraries are extremely limited and you'll end up seeing photos you've used all over the place. For example, we once used a woman for a magazine cover who I also saw on a Southwest flyer, a Home Depot ad and on a poster at my kid's school all within a few months. It waters down your brand.

There is one obvious major advantage to Pexels (and Unsplash really) in that the images are royalty-free. We can use them without fear of being sued afterward, and we don't even have to create an account, just download the image and it's ready to go. When it comes to Pexels' photos, you can photoshop words on them, but sometimes you don't want a photo designed for photoshopping, you just want a photo that's ready to use, such as Unsplash.
