    Distribion, Inc.
    Extremely robust with extraordinary tracking abilities. Lots of
    templates to choose from. Customizations are possible as well. Manages
    large lists of recipients/audiences well. It allows not only sending traditional email marketing campaigns but
    also automated campaigns and creating action flows to send certain
    emails when an action occurs. Compliance Feature & it being user friendly.

    Xinet is great for print marketing users that have a lot of copy in their artwork. Xinet is not especially useful for 3D artwork production.

    • Tracking rights-managed assets. Xinet provides advanced features such as watermarking and expiration notifications.
    • Integration with Adobe. Xinet can be configured to access assets from right within the apps.
    • Desktop integration. Xinet can be accessed by the browser but also as a mountable server volume on the desktop. Unlike Box, Dropbox, etc., the mounted volume does not require consumption of hard drive space.

    • For my position, I didn't learn enough of Xinet to truly utilize the whole program, only one or two people in my department understood it inside and out.
    • During my time at the agency, we were unable to get the annotations to work on assets. And that would have been helpful to have to streamline our process of asset quality control.

    Xinet is intuitive to use. It is perhaps the only DAM that features a traditional mounted volume, so anyone working in an environment with local servers will love it. Search is accurate and faceted searches allow users to narrow search results. Setup requires a lot of training if you want to leverage all of its complex workflow capabilities.

    Support is handled by third-party server integrators. Our partner, NAPC, has always been there when we've needed them and also develops unique plugins to expand XInet's capabilities.

    We selected Xinet based on having a large number of potential users and wanted unlimited web seats. Paying a one time software fee versus a monthly seat payment was a big draw. Telescope was four to five times more expensive and was not feasible at the time. We liked Basecamp but we needed a local solution for storage, not hosted.

    Xinet is a great platform to build off of. We use it in combination with Enfocus Switch which has greatly improved the automation capabilities and we use Xinet as the portal for external users. Our internal users very rarely interact with the Xinet GUI.

    Distribion, Inc.
    • What I enjoy most about Distribion is the fact that it takes a lot of the manual work out of the way I used to market material to potential prospects.
