    CONTENTdm is well-suited for smaller organizations as a simple solution to present a digital collection on the web. If your need is complex and requires digital preservation as part of the workflow, it may not be the best solution.

    Ooyala provides the opportunity to scale and manage multiple services and platforms in the organization with its integration services with internal tools like Slack and multiple other applications. Also, it helps you understand the views, reach, and engagement with the videos that help you define your next campaign strategy. In my experience, Ooyala could be less appropriate for managing URLs and unreliability may make you upload videos more than once.

    Cons
    OCLC
    • 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.

    • Ooyala's integration with the ad serving platform is not as good in terms of user interface and user experience.
    • The user interface could be improved (making it more like YouTube and Vimeo).
    • The feature that provides scheduling could be improved to be seamless for publishing to Instagram.

    We selected CONTENTdm because it had a good reputation, was used by many institutions, provided a good product, and supplied feedback and monthly reports. We are wondering about DPLA and if that will be the next evolution or platform.

    We have used all the rival products. Ooyala has been our favourite for years, but feel like they have stalled in new product development.

    Return on Investment
    OCLC
    • 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.

    • Ooyala certainly helped improve ROI.
    • It also provides a strong capability for integration with other marketing automation tools for improved digital marketing ROI.
    • Reduction in cost of operations can be easily achieved with integrations with multiple software applications.
