However, if you are seeking solely a video management solution, Portfolio is maturing, but not "there" just yet.

Alternatives Considered

We have been with Extensis for many years-- so the comparisons are outdated at this point.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.
