Brandfolder vs. CONTENTdm

If you're a small, medium-sized, or even big organization, Brandfolder can help you with digital asset and identity management (DAM). It is user-friendly and offers a lot of options that will immensely improve your workflow. It easily integrates with other applications and the whole team can access the files

Good if one does not have a lot of IT support such as our smaller university.

• Documents such as contact lists and cooperative programs
• Featured listings, agents, and maps are just a few examples of creative advertising concepts
• Provides organization

• Constant URLs

• Run by OCLC, not likely to disappear

• If you have a large collection of images, like we do, and you go 2 or 3 pages deep and select an image, then close the image, the collection snaps back to page 1. It's pretty frustrating.

• As a digital asset management system, one would expect the capability of managing preservation, which CONTENTdm lacks.
• Lack of batch updating and other advanced metadata management capabilities.
• The usage statistics does not work, and the company is not planning to fix it, at least based the interaction with tech support staff. Customers were referred to use Google Analytics.

Brandfolder has the best UI/UX for the end user and the administrator. The UI/UX is modern and not just a recreation of a folder system like old OS file systems. Brandfolder is so visual based and loads so quickly that makes it easy for users to find their assets quickly. The templating is totally unique when compared to other options on the market. The tagging system, duplicate detection, collections, and stacking files into an asset makes the platform efficient to manage and use

• It helped us to get started with our digital collections projects at a relatively low cost.
• As our needs grew, it became apparent that we needed something more powerful, and that provides better workflows and better statistics and is able to handle the whole life cycle of digitation projects.
