We are using Bynder across our entire organization. We needed to find a way to better control all of our digital assets and their end-use, and Bynder has been an incredibly versatile solution. When you have various digital files scattered across a myriad of desktops, shared folders, and emails, it's incredibly difficult to manage and is unnecessarily time-consuming. Bynder serves as a single source of truth for our digital assets that reduces the time spent searching for an asset and guessing if the asset you’re looking at is the correct version, and increasing the efficiency of managing our digital assets across the company and with our external partners. It creates a platform that is compatible with all departments and provides accurate and historical information about our digital assets.<p></p>
  • Organization of our almost 10,000 digital files
  • Ensuring assets are being used in the correct context
  • Ease of sharing multiple or large files across the company or with external partners
  • Being able to update a version of a file without having to re-upload and tag
  • Restricting access to certain files
  • Ability to apply multiple filters from the same metaproperty
  • Reduction in automated tagging
We have numerous renderings for some of our properties that are constantly being updated. It was hard to keep track of the most current rendering since it lived in multiple locations with various employees. Creating a central location where we can regularly update the renderings without having to add a new file and re-upload solved the issue of questioning whether the rendering you were looking at was correct.

We use Bynder across our entire organization, mostly for communications and marketing staff worldwide, but it also extends to our program staff in the US and our in-country staff abroad. Before Bynder, we housed all our digital assets (photographs, video files, interview transcripts, logos, etc.) in folders on our server. You’d have to drill down many levels to find the photo you needed—and only because you knew it was there. We had no ability to search, to filter or to share albums with our colleagues. Whenever we wanted to share an image, we sent it over email—and often received an auto-response saying “this exceeds the file size limit.” To share several images, we would copy and paste the images into a new folder—which meant duplicate images everywhere. Similarly, other files like interview transcripts, logos, and design files were all over the place—some saved together in one folder, others with our designers, others in our personal folders. Bynder has been a game changer—we are now able to search through our photographs and share collections with colleagues or outside graphic designers like we could never do before.

  • Search -- as part of the implementation process, you set up your own individual organization's filters and tags. When your portal goes live, you can use the smart search tool to find your assets within seconds based on those filter categories and keywords anywhere within the file (name, metadata, etc.).
  • Share -- Bynder's Collections tool is an easy and simple way to share one or multiple images with coworkers - even if they don't have a Bynder account.
  • Analytics -- Bynder recently launched an in-depth analytics tool so you can see how your assets are being shared/downloaded/viewed. It's great!
  • Bynder regularly adds or upgrades their system's functionality. The analytics tool is relatively new for them, so I imagine they'll be adding many more elements to that dashboard.
We use Bynder's Brand Portal every single day. It's great to use with external graphic designers, with colleagues around the world, and with our team in the office. It has really been a game changer for us. I can't imagine a scenario where Bynder wouldn't be helpful when it comes to our digital assets.

We used Bynder to manage our marketing collateral and sales enablement materials (e.g. reference materials, battle cards, sales training, etc.) We used it primarily only for the sales & marketing team - it would have been fantastic to have the entire organization using the system, but the per-user cost was just too high, especially since plenty of people probably wouldn't have been using it regularly - only on an as-needed basis.
The main problems that Bynder solved were around having an easy way to find different pieces of collateral for specific use cases. For example, my company has multiple product lines that are very different, so it was a good way to ensure that people could find exactly what they needed when talking to a client with only a few applications, or a prospect who was only interested in a certain product. It was helpful to look at the reporting features and see what people were using most (it often wasn't what upper-level managers thought they would be using) as well.
  • Powerful filtering features (if you set it up right)
  • Great to have one single place to update collateral so everyone has the most up-to-date version.
  • Having the option to set public links for certain files was very useful for sharing files externally without any fuss.
  • Responsive customer service that was actually helpful (not always the case with software vendors!)
  • The cost was quite high for what is really not a "core" system.
  • The company was also The cost to do business with when we needed to cancel, even though our subscription had not yet renewed.
  • Wish there was a way to "highlight" collateral in the asset bank or change the default sort order. As it is, older files are stuck at the bottom by default even if new versions of them are uploaded. As a result, the more commonly-used collateral (often the basic overview files/videos/etc which were created first) required a lot more scrolling to get to.
It's a good option for companies that are growing rapidly with sales or marketing teams that have a lot of assets to manage. However, the cost may be prohibitive for mid-size companies. It is not a good choice if you are looking to have a system that is accessible for all employees (like Dropbox or an employee portal)

We have a small sales/marketing, but after 8 decades of doing business, we have a lot of material. Bynder is a new tool for us -- replacing Box, Dropbox, Evernote, and digging through old files and email attachments. The searching, keyword, tagging, and mostly visible layout are really superior to our legacy methods.

I can't imagine going back.
  • Extracting content is where Bynder shines. My previous EverNote account reminded me of the last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark -- warehouse full of stuff where clearly everything was lost once it was put in there. Bynder makes it easy to find and extract information especially because of the thumbnail views aided by the categorization tools. Since you can use these in combination everything is basically a complex Boolean search without needing to know how to write a complex Boolean Search.
  • Easy I/O. Getting information into and out of Bynder is really easy -- follows the "don't make me think" rule. visual cues and clear buttons, etc. In fact, since I use multiple systems, I find it easiest to actually do file transfer TO MYSELF via Bynder rather than download or email files between my PC and Mac for example. That's how easy it is.
  • Categories, tagging, last-used, most-frequent, hide/show -- there's a lot of flexibility in organizing your content. Technically, this kind of thing exists in every tool I've ever used... but it's the implementation that matters. UI design is vital to making this a valuable tool as opposed to a dreary step of "file retrieval".
  • Bynder has multiple levels of metadata to attach to files. That's good. But I would like to have a few 'macro' views, perhaps different dashboards that are pre-sets based on my use case. One could be "Browsing" and another could be "searching for a specific file". That sort of thing.
  • More customization per user. Color, arrangement, etc. Creative types can be soooo picky you know.
It's well suited to be your overall repository of content... especially diverse content. It's less useful for content-in-development as the version control is not what it could be for documents that are being collaborated on by multiple people.

But once the thing is done, and you have a final version (at least for now) then Bynder's your best choice.

Through our marketing department and corporate communications group, I access high-resolution images to use when creating graphics and developing web-based trainings for the entire company. WebDAM has been a great resource for sharing content between multiple departments. The navigation of the site itself is user-friendly as well, I like being able to search keywords and sort through related folder options.
  • Navigation of the site is user-friendly.
  • Organization of content into folders and categories.
  • Keyword search and advanced search options.
  • The site has crashed when attempting to download larger files.
It is easier to use than Dropbox, where you assign permission to individual folders. Being able to have a shared login for our team allows us to access all content available at once.

Bynder is used by over 20 locations and is implemented at the corporate and store level across our organization. The power users are the marketers and sales staff. As a marketing technologist, I use Bynder to implement a quick quote or lookbook for our clients. In other words, Bynder was instrumental in helping our sales staff identify and pull pictures from the digital asset management system seamlessly and without much effort. Another great advantage that Bynder has is the fact that it has API support as well as high availability in terms of performance. Bynder is hosted on the cloud and is very flexible in terms of features and customization. I had the opportunity to work with Bynder APIs particularly in bulk tagging and bulk import/exports of data. I've also managed to leverage Bynder to power our image searches that is used across all digital marketing efforts. And all of this is being done via the meta informatino or exif information.
  • Search or Elastic Search - The power to search tens of thousands of image without much lag time
  • Powerful templates that are available for users
  • Ability to share collection of images with anyone in a click or two
  • Powerful API - Although API is more used for technical staff, the API also allows easy integration with any systems
  • Ability to store meta and exif information and search through them
  • Single Sign On integration with all of your existing system (particularly LDAP or ADFS)
  • Support Team can be a little slow but that is understandable with a startup company (even though this company is no longer a start up)
  • API documentation can be better because there is only 1 product owner for API function (poor developer getting bombarded with requests)
  • Implementation requires more hand holding especially for the companies that do not have in-house technical expertise
The best use case for bynder is very simple. Bynder is for any organization that has over 200 digital assets and has the need to search and organize their assets in a way that is empowering. Bynder is great if you want to further your DAM system and couple it with ML. A bad use case for bynder is for any organization that has a "store everything on the network drive" mindset. If you are in this category, don't be offended, we all start somewhere but be open to better organization of your assets.
