Reviews
(1-25 of 35)Acquia DAM - Widen is an excellent choice for asset management
- Metadata is easy to define.
- It is easy to narrow one's search using the metadata fields.
- It is easy to upload assets.
- It would be great if the simple portal options for layout were expanded. It's very limited right now.
One of the best asset management tools out there for the price!
- Organizing assets
- Ease of uploading and entering metadata
- Providing analytics for our DAM
- Customer service could be improved. A dedicated person was appreciated prior to Aquia acquisition. Now you have to go through an automated system online.
- I wish it were a bit easier for our sales team to navigate or if we could somehow tailor the experience more towards certain departments
A DAM good option
- Provides clean and easy portals to share with clients
- Autofilling metadata fields
- Providing multiple search options - searching by file type is great
- More customization of the dashboard would be nice, but not needed
- Better clarity on organization between user roles and permissions would be helpful
If you are a small company, Acquia may be a bit overkill due to features and cost that will likely not be fully taken advantage of.
Acquia DAM (Widen) is a Worthwhile DAM Solution
- Stores assets in particular categories and sub-categories.
- Can quickly find the assets through various means.
- Able to house multiple kinds of assets.
- Downloading images could be a little smoother.
- Navigating the Admin Settings can be a bit tedious at times.
A great hub to house all your content!
- Hosts images
- Provides different formats to download images
- Feeds images and content to our website
- When you are searching and you need to go back it doesn't always bring you back to the page you were before, but to the overall view and that can be frustrating.
- The "selection" tool is confusing- I will select images and when I download it will have images from a past selection. I wish there was a way to organize this better.
- When I choose to download and it says it will email the images to me I get an email that sends me back to the page to press download. Why can't I just do that from the get-go?
Great base platform. Some issues with integrations.
- File Organization
- Proofing workflow and tools
- Portal tools for public sharing
- Dashboards for easy navigation
- Drupal connector does not allow the same filtering that DAM search does, which makes it difficult to find images when connecting to the website.
- No ability to make request forms public, so in a large system where many departments may be requesting marketing projects, we are having to create user profiles and grant access to each one manually.
- No notifications when someone is made a project manager or deliverables manager in the Workflow tool, so often our team misses things until they get directly tagged in a comment.
- Brand Portals
- Digital Access Managment
- Website image feed
- Need more customization options in the portals. They are a bit limiting in design.
- Need better search capabilities.
- Need better support documentation/training.
Solid asset management system for enterprise
- Metadata and taxonomy
- Uptime and reliability
- Asset management
- Technical support
- Interface is a little tired
- Could use more smart/AI-powered features
- Pricing and packaging can be a bit of a maze
Solid but there are always areas to improve
- house large files
- easy sharing
- administrative back end
- onboarding with Theresa!
- anyaltics/tracking
- embed codes without iframe
- functionality with videos to first screen capture
- voc implementation
The Wonders of Acquia DAM (Widen).
- Share links.
- Image storage.
- File organization.
- Tagging
- I'd like to see a hotspot option. If we add details in the hotspot, they will hover over the image when viewed.
- Drop down filters in the search bar to make it easier to find specific things.
- Add a professional photography tag.
Acquia DAM (Widen) is a good choice
- Implementation support
- Flexible and robust metadata and governance structure
- Easy and attractive portals
- Multiple ways to access customer support
- Useful out of the box integrations
- Embed codes are not very scaleable
- Certain types of integrations between DAM and other systems are challenging
Acquia DAM (Widen) performs quite well, but potentially limits our aspirations beyond pure DAM
- Once the structure is planned and implemented, metadata functionality allows for robust search and filtering
- Asset organization options facilitate more than one way for users to find what they need. Once any complexity in planning and configuration is complete, with clear guidance the user experience is simplistic enough to increase chances of engagement and adoption
- Customer Success Managers, Live Chat Support, and Acquia DAM (Widen) Connect all combine to provide a real wealth of material to lean on while in the early stages of planning your Collective, and refining for continuous improvement once things are live
- I would like to see an Admin client which provides more flexibility in editing multiple assets' metadata and personalization of the system
- System configuration I'd like to see opened up a bit is exemplified by the inability to change certain field names like 'Title' in the user registration form. It would be much clearer and result in the correct info arriving if I could change it to 'Job Title'. It would also mean I'd only have to address users with incorrect info after changing the field name. Currently, I need to add a new field called 'Job Title' and migrate all the existing user data from the field named 'Title', before removing the field named 'Title' from my site's Access Request form.
- I would like to see the ability to simply share a search result that's been filtered. Currently, you have to configure an Advanced Search that replicates your filtering and share that. It seems as though there ought to be a way of sharing your search result with other users far more simply in one or two brief stops.
- A 'pinboard' feature would be very useful. Collections can be used, but a simpler way to drag assets in an ad-hoc fashion to form a pinboard of various assets to share or download would be very useful
- Further layers of metadata dependency, beyond the 2nd level currently available, would be useful
Great DAM with great usability, with room for improvements in some important features.
- Highly customizable display on dashboard (homepage).
- Ease of use in searching with filters similar to online shopping experience.
- Highly customizable tagging of uploaded assets with templates.
- Great display and playback of videos.
- Very fast responses to tech support questions.
- Some features for user notifications of expiring assets are not working at all; correction for this is needed for any company that distributes assets restricted for usage under contract.
- A recent change to the main default interface was made with little prior input from clients, which affects how assets and security details are displayed. Acquia DAM (Widen) needs to get more feedback from client admins before making such sweeping changes.
- A similar complaint about notifications not working is that the use of the portals can be limited since the display of security info seems to be disregarded. While the portals feature seemed like a great benefit, limitations like the above dissuade their use for a number of use cases.
- Portal construction seems to use very different workflows than the main interface; these processes could use some work to make portals easier to customize.
Acquia DAM (Widen) Works
- organizing
- tagging
- attaching release forms
- the insights feature seems so powerful but it is SO confusing and hard to get simple things out of it.
Feature filled asset management
- Broad availability of user roles and capabilities and access levels
- Multiple downloadable formats for assets
- The previous update removed the ability to adjust the size of the thumbnail on search pages so you can see fewer/larger or more/smaller thumbnails. This was a downgrade in function.
- Search UI can be confusing and takes getting used to
Overall we are happy with Acquia DAM (Widen) but wish it was a bit lighter and more user-friendly
- Asset grouping
- Metadata collection
- Easy sharing of assets on external facing portals
- It is difficult to understand the structure
- The UI is not always intuitive
- Formatting portals sometimes requires trial and error
- Organizes assets according to category, keywords and other metrics
- Continually updates the interface to provide a smoother user experience
- Provides incredible customer support
- Understand the importance of visual hierarchy when setting up the elements on their pages.
- When a selection has been made for downloading an asset, the floating menu should disappear. It hides other assets, and having to click it off is annoying.
- Compared to other sites, the interface is user-friendly but could always be improved. Some items take some searching or sub-clicking to find.
- Admin areas are not as intuitive as I'd prefer. They seem to have been designed for engineers, not artists like myself. Always, always iterate to simplify!
- Metadata
- Always improving software
- Customer service
- Mobile responsiveness for site and portals
- Can be slow to download assets
One Acquia DAM (Widen) to rule them all
- The user experience is delightful to engage with
- The portals are easy to build and deliver great value
- The onboarding process was very well organized
- I find some of the training videos very slow
- The upload experience could be more powerful
- More integrations could be helpful (monday.com)
- Ease of site administration.
- Excellent support.
- Brand flexibility.
- Search functionality (advanced search for date fields stands out as strange; better/more clear Boolean logic - it defaults a certain logic but it is invisible so it is hard for users to understand what the search is doing).
- More flexible hierarchies/dependencies for metadata fields.
- Better safeguards to prevent accidental batch edits.
- The ability to "lock" certain assets from users with editing capabilities once they are deemed complete (some options for this, but not granular enough).
- Easier user and permissions administration - extremely confusing.
Efficient and Useful Asset Management Platform
- The portal is organized and user-friendly
- Locating files can be tricky, as things in file names don't always populate as expected.
Acquia DAM (Widen) improves efficiency and client brand compliance across large creative team
- Customer service. Acquia DAM (Widen) builds collaborative relationships with its customers from the start. They regularly engage with our core implementation team through quarterly check-in meetings, and the service we receive always feels very personalized.
- Product development. Acquia DAM (Widen) is fully transparent with its product roadmaps and feature development. Customers are given many opportunities to share product feedback and upvote new features.
- Implementation and training. We had a wonderful experience getting Acquia DAM (Widen) up and running for our team. The training is lengthy but was broken down into manageable units, and the resources available online through Acquia DAM (Widen) University are exceptional.
- Adobe Connector—While the tool is functional for most of our team members, it is not compatible with all of the Adobe CC apps or any apps outside of the Adobe portfolio.
- Metadata/tagging UX—The back-end metadata interface can be a bit confusing, particularly when it comes to contingent tags. It's also difficult to clean up/remove metadata fields that are no longer needed or were added in error.
- Categorizing, tagging, and searching for files
- Sharing files individually or in a branded portal (web page)
- Converting file types
- When sharing files in a collection, they must be downloaded individually and cannot be all be downloaded at once
- Acquia DAM (Widen) seems to focus on adding big, new features rather than getting some of the smaller things right
- Alternate preview images (thumbnails) cannot be pulled from images existing in the DAM and must be uploaded separately and individually
- Alternate preview images for videos cannot be selected by using the playahead to choose a frame
- Assets shared in a portal cannot be placed in a custom order or in alpha order by the selected alternate display name
- When expiring a user account, there is not a good way to ensure the preservation of any personal collections that an individual user-created which might be the basis for assets in a portal
- Metadata field values cannot be edited in bulk or buy spreadsheet upload
- The "new" upload experience is confusing and not an improvement over the original process
- Email addresses collected for access to a portal requiring an access code cannot be reviewed
Find assets you forgot you had!
- Holds our assets in one place
- Brand Portals to share assets easily
- Metadata to organize and filter
- asset conversions can be inconsistent across the platform
- download times for conversions can be significant
- The interface is a bit dated and can be glitchy
Does its job
- Metadata
- Allowing the communication between other tools and platforms
- User Interface is ugly
