Overall Satisfaction with Acquia DAM (Widen)
It is used by multiple departments including the library, media, marketing and communications to organize both current and historic digital assets.
- Portals are a useful tool to share and make assets available both to internal and external clients with the ability for they to either download or view the items.
- The ability to create categories and collections enables the user to sort assets into more manageable groups.
- Metadata can be customized and also embedded into asset.
- The inability to change the default search returns so that they stay each time one logs in. For example, in my experience, it always seems to sort to date asset is added even though it's been changed to filename countless times.
- In my experience, search results are limited to 10,000. With hundreds of thousands of assets, this limit makes it difficult for metadata cleanup as it limits results.
- For my working group the move to Acquia DAM (Widen) has caused more work and made our workflow much more complicated in my opinion.
It hasn't.
I prefer portfolio. It enabled the user to use a folder system.
