    E-Commerce is a perfect example where a service like ImageKit.io, is well suited. It takes a lot of the guesswork related to browser image format support, correct image dimensions for every kind of device, away from the developer. Thus reducing the need for maintaining code ourselves to check for and deliver an image for every user and his specific browser. This reduces code maintenance time in the long run and less custom code will ensure stability after integration for our online store running on OpenCart 3.

    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.

    Pros
    ImageKit
    • Automatically convert images for fast delivery based on browser support and network quality.
    • Well-documented integration documentation that is easy to follow when getting started with your implementation.
    • Easy to navigate user dashboard for setup and management of server origins and account settings. The usage analytics page is also handy to track and fix any 404 errors there might be for an image/s.

    • 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.

    Cons
    ImageKit
    • The Usage Analytics page could be laid out a little better and include filtering options, options may include path, country, IP Address, etc.
    • The ability to add an additional user to the starter plan would be great to illustrate the possibility to new customers.
    • The API Reference guide could include some more section-specific code examples for each of the supported technology stacks.

    • 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.

    Alternatives Considered
    ImageKit
    The main consideration for our choice was to be able to optimize and deliver the images from the server they are stored on without needing to move or change the current product upload workflow for our Marketing team. This is where ImageKit.io provided the best solution at the time we evaluated the options available in the market.

    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.

    Return on Investment

    • Our code has become easier to maintain, we no longer need to let the backend generate thumbnails
    • Our site speed up significantly, which boosted our SEO ranking
    • We had a similar solution built in-house on AWS lambda, but we no longer have the headache to maintain this solution ourselves.
