OpenText Media Management (OTMM) vs. Xinet

It is expensive and needs dedicated support but it is a overall good product. I also really like the Dev team and support teams, they are really responsive and the community of users that support each other is great. You need an enterprise team to support this, it is not meant for a small team or shop.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

Over all it is fine, the system does have it quirks and challenges, I wish we could see the assets in bulk faster, it would be nice if there was more control around how things are downloaded. Overall the UI is clean and works well. the searching always works, and we have never had it not work when we need it to. the collections, sharing and links all work great.

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.

OTTM team is great, the support and the user community they have built is amazing. I have check in with the product development team and they listen and are responsive. I can say enough about the user community, from the big big companies to the smaller ones, everyone is open and willing to help each other out.

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.

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.

• Increased employee efficiency.
• Assets are found more quickly.
