    Well suited to organization starting their journey of design system creation. It provides a ready to go foundation that requires minimum effort to set up and get going. It may be limited if scaling into thousands of design elements and multiple users - we have not tried at scale of more that 10's of users.

    If you want to share (or access) the most current version of any content MediaBin can be useful for ensuring that you are getting the right thing - assuming you can find it. Another useful functionality - OS sharing or exporting different file formats for a file. Often PDF works, but sometimes you need a file in a different image format and the software can allow that.

    Cons
    Frontify AG
    • I believe having an agency option would be great so that one could manage and build multiple brands for multiple clients.
    • Having sections for voice and personality would be great.
    • The ability to export a brand document to a .PDF to share with partners.

    • Search is often a chellenge - using the file name or "item number" doesn't always bring up the expected results.
    • Navigation is not intuitive in places - finding different functions
    • The export function is powerful but not always clear, several options seem like the same thing. e.g. Do I need FTP ot HTTP download? Do I care?

    Frontify is very easy to use and makes updating information a breeze. Frontify acts a central location to house assets and information for easy sharing. You can plug and play information and even white label the guide if desired

    We've invested time building our own hosted interface, and recently begun exploring Figma for design system management too. The benefit of Frontify is it's easy public access. The downfall is integration with other systems required in the UX, Design, Product Management, and Development processes - something Figma supports well.

    I was not involved in the selection process but MediaBin seems to be more of a "repository" than a "file-folder" system. It also displays thumbnail previews of files making it useful for sorting through visual elements, like photos or PDFs. I am not certain how it compares with regard to version history.

    Return on Investment
    Frontify AG
    • Solid cost benefit - the cost is not prohibitive for the value it brings
    • Overall value depends on internal federation of usage

    • This software is more of a tool that resides in the background, so it is difficult to measure ROI.
    • One negative impact is the challenges of managing access and thus limiting productivity when people can't access things.
    • Another negative impact is the poor search functionality reducing productivity in finding the correct files when needed.
