Image Relay

Image Relay is intelligently designed for any marketer, especially if your products require a library of images and video and especially if you feel like your team could use some quality onboarding to make sure everything is set up right and to make sure your team is equipped to use the software effectively. Specifically speaking, since we have so many products and we're building a bigger direct relationship with customers, it was important that we have an easy way to store and access assets that can represent those products and resonate with potential customers. Image Relay also made it really easy to group assets for sharing with influencers and other marketing partners. Dropbox and Google Drive may have their place and their functionalities that set them apart, so it's important to not look at Image Relay like one of those older document services storage spaces — though those companies could learn a lot from how Image Relay helps marketers enrich their assets and store them smartly.

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.

If you're looking for a DAM that's suitable for both small and medium-sized organizations, Image Relay is the perfect solution. It centralizes your assets and makes browsing your collection easy. It's easy to use and new users don't need too much training.

Image Relay makes it easy for us to store Photos, Contracts, and Documents that need to be seen and shared by our team of 6 employees. I don't see any scenarios where it is less appropriate than any other available options. In fact, I think it is superior to all other database-type platforms on the market. Easy-to-use, clean and simple interface and the best customer service I have ever experienced.

Image Relay is great for providing easily accessible photos. We store images elsewhere for our purposes and we mostly use Image Relay as a front-facing storage container for photos. It allowed us to share an extensive collection of photos from an event with our entire school through a link which students really appreciated.

Since we are working with a lot of different stores, we need to share different images with all of them. Last week I had to share between 50 and 75 images with a customer. All I had to is to select the folder I wanted to share with them, copy the link, and put it in an email. They can download it by themselves and if I make some changes to the images, they always have the latest version with the same link.

For companies that work in different countries or cities, it's so important to have a central database for all assets. As well as something that is easily accessible and easy to use.

Very professional company, they reply very fast to any questions or information. Enough storage and bandwidth space. Helps you with their demo. A good platform for companies to store and share their assets mainly if you are marketing your products. Maybe review the pricing because I think this can be helpful for small companies also to be able to use this tool.

I am creating videos where the base of the video is interview-based. I cannot travel to each individual, so Image Relay allows me to create upload folders and send the link to people and have them upload their videos for me to easily download and use in a feature piece. Internally, Image Relay has the function of keeping files private so sensitive folders are only accessible to certain departments or team leads like me.

The onboarding experience is the gold standard I would tell all other SAAS companies to follow

Image Relay is well suited if you work with a creative department or agency that enables media for you. This allows you to have access to all the elements you need, without losing quality over the content you work on. Another great feature is that the Image Relay repositories can be managed by the Design/Marketing team so that the users can always consume the correct information.

The initial upload of more than 3 terabytes of files - photos and documents - went very smoothly. Image Relay provided an SFTP portal for the larger, bulk file transfers. You do want to make sure you have an Internet-capable of adequate upload speeds to handle such massive file transfers to minimize the amount of time it takes to upload. With a direct, onsite ethernet connection to our server at our HQ, the upload speed handled the uploads fairly efficiently. Attempting to do the same remotely from a home office, the upload speed was inadequate. To date, our staff has been quite receptive to the benefits of Image Relay. The main question they ask is why didn't we do this sooner. We had been using our in-house server to store, manage and share our digital photos and documents. It was cumbersome, to say the least. Image Relay has made organizing, searching for, and sharing photos internally and externally much easier and more efficient. I believe it will more than pay for itself based on staff time saved.

When our donors or supporters ask us for historical photos, we use Image Relay to quickly search our archives and share high-res versions with them. Now that our staff is working remotely more often, they can access our digital archives without having to connect to our network via VPN. When we work with agencies to create our annual magazines or fundraising collateral, we can give the agency temporary access to our entire photo archive and let them choose the art that works best. When we want to search for information on our donors or Alumni, Image Relay can search keywords in old PDFs or publications to show us everything that has been written about a subject in our archives. When we host tournaments, we can share collections with all competitors and add photos in real-time that they can use on their social media platforms, expanding our reach.

It is a perfect fit to share audiovisual content - videos, photos, creative pieces, and so on between different organizations or as an online library for your own company so you can have access from wherever you are. It is less appropriate to share content just once, with someone you don't want to have permanent access to your documents.

Image Relay is well suited for people who need to stay organized with their digital assets and have the ability to give their own employees login with different access to different areas of the DAM and outsiders as well. I don't think it is necessary if you have a small asset database that can be housed on a smaller cloud or desktop drive.

We are a distributor so we get asked to provide images to our vendors. Previously we would have to do so via zip files which were times consuming and hard to keep track of. With Image Relay, we are able to do so via collections which is quick and organized.

Image Relay is well suited for what I use for obtaining images of our products. I do not know where it might be less appropriate.

Image Relay is a great way to send large files and groups of assets to collaborators. Whether that means allowing someone to upload marketing images to the platform for you to receive, or sending large collections of data/photos/records. It is also a great way for your assets to be provided and used by an outside party. Permissions limit what they can and cannot have access to, so it really enables you to make the collaboration process efficient and exactly the way you want it to be.

Image Relay is well suited for gathering design assets. I can clearly see what is available via the thumbnails and am able to download with ease without having to email our client. This not only saves time with unnecessary back and forth with the client but I am also able to expedite projects and have them finished sooner.

Image Relay is a good tool for content organization. It gives the right tools for categorization and sorting mechanisms and is suitable when large files need to be provided to a large number of people.

We currently use this platform to share information with a wide range of audiences. Anywhere from installers in the field, to managers in an office setting. This platform is also very mobile-friendly which is fantastic. It also does not need a password or login for the end-user to access the information you send.

I think any archive or cultural heritage institution would find Image Relay an excellent digital asset management system.

Well-suited: A graphic designer is looking for a photo of students at the Dell Medical School doing research. Keyword searches such as students, Dell, research would yield optimal results and get the user what they need. Could use improvement: I've set up a new user after being contacted with the request. The user appears to be set up with an SSO account, but later they contact me saying their login attempt failed. I cannot find them by searching the Active Users and am left to troubleshoot why it did not take.

Image Relay is fantastic for keeping, tagging, and searching for imagery and files. It is easy to share files and keep everything organized and up to date. It does have storage restrictions so it would not be a great tool to use for housing a huge video library or something with a ton of large file sizes.

Image Relay is well suited for asset management, archiving art, and sharing files with others. It may be less appropriate for organizations that are not well organized, as the platform can get disorganized by those using it if there is not a clear plan for usage.
