Considered Both Products	Image Relay Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Cierra Robinson Brand Marketing Coordinator 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Image Relay Image Relay convinced us with an excellent pitch, a competitive price, and great support. Incentivized Helpful? RS Robert Schiers Chief of Staff 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 … Incentivized Helpful? SM Sebastien Michaud Product Data Coordinator 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 … Incentivized Helpful? AB Akilesh Bullywant Senior Graphic Designer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? SS Sherie Smith Senior Digital Media Manager 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. Incentivized Helpful? Gary Holaway Director, Archives & History 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. … Incentivized Helpful? PC Patricia Calleja Creative Copywriter 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? PC Penny Crowley Sr. Graphics/Packaging Specialist 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! Incentivized Helpful? Josh Pollard National Operations advisor Chose Image Relay There’s honestly no comparison Incentivized Helpful? RD Rosemary Davis Archivist 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. Incentivized Helpful? LO LAURIE OMEARA Project Manager 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Image Relay N/A Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Image Relay Image Relay is much more user friendly. It is also much easier to upload files to Image Relay. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Image Relay	Syndic8
Likelihood to Recommend	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.

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! Incentivized SS Sherie Smith Senior Digital Media Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	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. Incentivized Gary Holaway Director, Archives & History Read full review	No answers on this topic
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.

Support Rating	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!

Implementation Rating	The Image Relay team was very helpful in guiding us through the process. Excellent customer service and guidance. Incentivized Gary Holaway Director, Archives & History Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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.

Return on Investment	It is a huge time saver for our team It enables us to quickly share information and files internally as well as with customers and vendors externally. Being able to share files in real-time makes our decision process faster, more accurate, and far more effective.
