Considered Both Products
Image Relay
Chose Image Relay
The decision really seemed to come down to the interface, the value, and the approach to innovating how the assets were stored and accessed. It was important to us that our DAM has plenty of features and options while also not being over-designed or overcomplicated. It needed …
Chose Image Relay
The discovery process was by far the best with Image Relay. We did not have to waste time on several sales calls before they gave us a real demo and answered our specific questions. We got EVERYTHING we needed to know in the first meeting and that ultimately did help us make …
Chose Image Relay
Image Relay convinced us with an excellent pitch, a competitive price, and great support.
Chose Image Relay
I find Image Relay to be superior to all three platforms mentioned above. IR is faster, has a cleaner interface, has outstanding support, and is highly customizable. Image Relay just makes sense for us on every level. While there are other options, some free, nothing stacks up …
Chose Image Relay
I got a presentation from each and I felt the connection with Image Relay was better for me. Every need we had were covered by the Image Relay system. The presentation was really professional and we could feel that they knew what they were doing. Of course, the price was also a …
Chose Image Relay
We were using our in-house storage NAS system and Backup on DVD and hard drive. The issue is that we lost a lot of data by it either crashing or becoming unreadable. And it's very difficult to organize and share data. To share data we were using WeTransfer, but the issue is …
Chose Image Relay
Google Drive does not have the same capacity and functions that Image Relay has, so it is really no competition at all. I really enjoy all the functions that Image Relay has that other companies may not have considered.
Chose Image Relay
We compared Image Relay to a couple of other digital asset management systems and chose Image Relay based on a strong recommendation from the company that digitized thousands of our archived photos and documents. They noted that many of the features are similar product to …
Chose Image Relay
Image Relay's share function works similarly to these other products, which worked well enough for us. But Image Relay's share function makes the process of searching for, selecting, and sharing photos fast and seamless. There's also less need to clean out old files and photos. …
Chose Image Relay
Drive is good but the way to find and organize folders is less user-friendly. Sharepoint is not user-friendly at all. We Transfer is easy to share and download once but not as a permanent online library. I really think Image Relay is the best option to create a common space …
Chose Image Relay
We have always used dropbox or google drive and while they have served their purpose, they don't operate on the same level as Image Relay. The easy-to-use organization along with the ability to create your own APIs and do mass moves and uploads and distinct meta-tagging is key …
Chose Image Relay
We used Kwikee (which is now Syndigo I believe) for many years. Clunky interface and it was very slow to get new assets up. Image Relay was a very refreshing change!
Chose Image Relay
I have used several digital asset management systems in relation to archives work, and I think Image Relay is the most user-friendly and clean looking.
Chose Image Relay
I created a rubric to compare IR with Intelligence Bank and PhotoShelter. Some of the comparisons were close, but ultimately the intuitive user interface, price, and back-end programming (as analyzed by our web guy) helped us select Image Relay.
Chose Image Relay
Image Relay is much more user friendly. It is also much easier to upload files to Image Relay.
Chose Image Relay
Image Relay is much more user-friendly and easy to access. I struggled with Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft Teams because it is so much simpler in layout and structure. You do not need to hunt around forever to find what you're looking for. It is also more cost-effective …
Chose Image Relay
Canto Cumulus was the best competition. It did a few of the things mentioned earlier a little better. We had chosen Image Relay before finding Canto, and have not felt compelled strongly enough to switch. If we were starting over, we might start with Canto.
pCloud
Chose pCloud
pCloud offers much of the same for online storage but with super deals and valuable upgrades.
Chose pCloud
The reason why we love pCloud over similar tools is because of its neat and clean interface. We also love options for file encryption through pCloud Crypto, which is unavailable on Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. Also, the upload speed on pCloud is fantastic and it is a lot …
Chose pCloud
pCloud has a virtual drive which Google Drive does not offer. Sharing links using a custom page is much more professional than Google Drive. I feel pCloud is more value for money than paying for the upgraded Google Drive plan. If pCloud has its own built-in app …
Chose pCloud
pCloud offers features that go above OneDrive's in many areas such as file versioning and file sharing (particularly external sharing). In addition, pCloud's security is unrivaled.
Chose pCloud
When compared to other devices, pCloud offers a superb user interface that is incredibly simple for anyone to navigate. It also incorporates cryptographic technology, which makes it extremely safe and efficient. Other platforms do not have the same level of protection as ours, …
Chose pCloud
pCloud does one thing really well; backup, archive, access, and share files & folders. It does not try to be many other things.
Chose pCloud
pCloud's pricing is cheaper than alternatives. pCloud is modern and easy to understand.pCloud has mobile sync which is an amazing feature for me. Even it allows me to upload from a direct download link! pCloud has every feature that an average user required as a cloud backup or …
Chose pCloud
pCloud is miles away from the competition. We chose it because of their flexible pricing and great support. Plus the feature set is really tough to beat.
Chose pCloud
pCloud has a wonderful UI that is very simple for anyone to use as compared to another device. It also has crypto technology which makes it highly secure and efficient. Other platform doesn't have that level of security in them. It also has great features to use like pCloud …

Image Relay is perfect for a creative team that is putting out a lot of content and always creating more. It works great with freelancers and has customizable access for different groups of individuals. I have not seen the PIM side of things with Image Relay. Management chose a different system for our PIM but it was prior to learning about Image Relay. The system we have for PIM seemed more robust for syndicating to multiple channels, however, it does not have the collaboration a creative team needs as Image Relay does.

Our normal team meeting was taking place, and we were transferring our data to pCloud. pCloud had supplied us with a platform from which we could download our critical data whenever we needed it. We also need to provide our project status report, and for this, we upload our PowerPoint presentation to the cloud, which has proven to be useful anytime we have needed it. It may be used in a variety of ways, including storing, sharing, and backing up essential files in a folder on your computer.

Pros
  • Image Relay keeps things organized well
  • It's SO easy to create upload links and send them to people when you need materials from them. I love that you are emailed when someone uploads to a folder you created.
  • The support team is great at Image Relay too—I've rarely had any problems, but when I do or have questions they respond very quickly!

  • pCloud helps us to store data very well and it is accessible from anywhere. It makes it easy for anyone to use it and secure the data. It is easy to upload data and access it while having a meeting with our client.
  • pCloud easily stores files from another platform as well like Google Drive or Dropbox. It easily exchanges information like images, videos, and documents. This feature is amazing as it gives access to files from other storage.
  • It had one feature known as pCloud Crypto which gives high-end security to the data when stored. It is highly secure and encrypted. It uses blockchain technology which requires a key to use called Crypto Pass to unlock your data. Really like it.

Cons
  • The AI tagging terms are too generic to really be helpful to us.
  • When we did our initial upload the system couldn't pull in old dates, so everything has a date of the day it was uploaded. It will be a while before searching by "most recent" works properly.

  • pCloud provides a lot of wonderful features, however we've seen a few stutters when using the service
  • Every time we try to download a file, it fails to complete the process
  • The newly uploaded files are not being correctly synced automatically

I believe once all of our staff see how efficient Image Relay is in managing our digital assets, there will be no question that the cost vs. value will mandate continued use moving forward. It literally will pay for itself in saved staff time, I believe.

Usability
I didn't have to be trained to figure out how to use it, everything is straight forward which is important when you have a lot of external-facing users on this platform. The folders help you navigate what you have but I also use the search feature a lot if I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

It is very easy to use, fast loading and the product team keeps adding updates. Like now I can listen to all my audiobooks from a playlist in pCloud. I am ask for files or send files easier than ever before. I also have access to all my files whereever I am.

Amazing. We are having a quick call once a week to be sure we are right on track. They answer all our questions right away and if they are missing something they will just find the answer and get back to us as fast as possible. There is no need to look elsewhere!

The decision really seemed to come down to the interface, the value, and the approach to innovating how the assets were stored and accessed. It was important to us that our DAM has plenty of features and options while also not being over-designed or overcomplicated. It needed to have a flow and logic to it so that we could do more while not being overwhelmed or lost in the product. In all of these areas, Image Relay really seemed to stand out among the rest.

pCloud has a virtual drive which Google Drive does not offer. Sharing links using a custom page is much more professional than Google Drive. I feel pCloud is more value for money than paying for the upgraded Google Drive plan. If pCloud has its own built-in app editor/viewers like Google Docs/Sheets etc that would be even better!

  • The Synchronization issue is there with pCloud Data Storage. It needs to be updated by the developers if possible.
