Adobe Bridge vs. OpenText Media Management (OTMM)

If you're working with tons of files and different types of files and you have to keep them sorted out and be able to tell the differences within the files...this is the best option for you. It will make your life so much easier being able to preview everything quickly while seeing the small details. I do know that some photographers are really happy with how Lightroom catalogs their images, but I think for anyone doing major compositing or video work, Bridge is hands down the way to go. It just saves you so much time and headaches.

It is expensive and needs dedicated support but it is a overall good product. I also really like the Dev team and support teams, they are really responsive and the community of users that support each other is great. You need an enterprise team to support this, it is not meant for a small team or shop.

• User friendly.
• Works well in combination with it's other adobe products.
• Like that's it's included in the cost of Creative Cloud.

• User interface could be more friendly--currently it has a very techy feel
• Sometimes it’s a bit slow to load the program initially

Over all it is fine, the system does have it quirks and challenges, I wish we could see the assets in bulk faster, it would be nice if there was more control around how things are downloaded. Overall the UI is clean and works well. the searching always works, and we have never had it not work when we need it to. the collections, sharing and links all work great.

OTTM team is great, the support and the user community they have built is amazing. I have check in with the product development team and they listen and are responsive. I can say enough about the user community, from the big big companies to the smaller ones, everyone is open and willing to help each other out.

Bridge is just easier and quicker. It suits our purposes more

• It's saved me probably thousands of hours at this point. I used to spend so much time looking for different files and now I can find them all quickly.
• I can now decide which are the 15 images I will deliver from a portrait session within 10 minutes. It used to take me around an hour to open them each up and start deciding.
• I quit negatively speaking to myself for misnaming files and then never being able to find them.
• I only complain about Adobe Bridge when it doesn't work with a firewall and I have to turn it off or restart my computer.
