DAM Features
Comparison of DAM Features features of Product A and Product B
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.
Image Relay is perfect for a creative team that is putting out a lot of content and always creating more. It works great with freelancers and has customizable access for different groups of individuals. I have not seen the PIM side of things with Image Relay. Management chose a different system for our PIM but it was prior to learning about Image Relay. The system we have for PIM seemed more robust for syndicating to multiple channels, however, it does not have the collaboration a creative team needs as Image Relay does.
It's SO easy to create upload links and send them to people when you need materials from them. I love that you are emailed when someone uploads to a folder you created.
The support team is great at Image Relay too—I've rarely had any problems, but when I do or have questions they respond very quickly!
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
The AI tagging terms are too generic to really be helpful to us.
When we did our initial upload the system couldn't pull in old dates, so everything has a date of the day it was uploaded. It will be a while before searching by "most recent" works properly.
I believe once all of our staff see how efficient Image Relay is in managing our digital assets, there will be no question that the cost vs. value will mandate continued use moving forward. It literally will pay for itself in saved staff time, I believe.
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
I didn't have to be trained to figure out how to use it, everything is straight forward which is important when you have a lot of external-facing users on this platform. The folders help you navigate what you have but I also use the search feature a lot if I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
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.
Amazing. We are having a quick call once a week to be sure we are right on track. They answer all our questions right away and if they are missing something they will just find the answer and get back to us as fast as possible. There is no need to look elsewhere!
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?
The decision really seemed to come down to the interface, the value, and the approach to innovating how the assets were stored and accessed. It was important to us that our DAM has plenty of features and options while also not being over-designed or overcomplicated. It needed to have a flow and logic to it so that we could do more while not being overwhelmed or lost in the product. In all of these areas, Image Relay really seemed to stand out among the rest.
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.
