Brandkit vs. Extensis Portfolio

Best for image asset management; hands down the most robust and cost-conscious solution we have worked with. Best for customer support--from design and integration to life-cycle maintenance. Best of expansion of catalogues and assets--- easily add asset packs onto your SaaS agreement as you need--no worries here. Portfolio is continuing to improve its video asset management. However, if you are seeking solely a video management solution, Portfolio is maturing, but not "there" just yet.

• Organization. It allows us to keep our photos organized and in their appropriate folders so we can find them again.
• Search. Extensis Portfolio imports all the metadata from the photo and allows you to search for keywords or descriptions from its interface.
• Sharing. Its NetPublish function allows for easy sharing across campus for other communicators to use photos we've selected for them.

• Permissions is a big deal. It is all or none access.
• Very easy to make an irreversible database mistake with just a few clicks.

We have someone in Extensis Portfolio's customer service who is the main contact whenever our group has questions or concerns. When we were looking into a campus-wide option for a digital asset management service, they were very forthcoming and easy to work with, and able to answer any questions that we had for them.

We have been with Extensis for many years-- so the comparisons are outdated at this point. Companies like WebDAM, Adobe's Lightroom, mediavalet, and others, just don't have the robust catalogue management Portfolio does. There is a solidness and assurance of functionality we experience when using Portfolio-- nothing clunky or web-cloud shaky

• Has been an invaluable tool for our organization by freeing up database employees to tackle other tasks.
