(Original )Information
What do you like best about Imagen?

The ability to media log files on the platform has made it easier for PAC12 schools to search and download files. The user-friendly platform has taken a load off of our production departments which in the past would send files to our schools manually. Account Managers and Support Teams are always available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagen?

It would be beneficial to be able to migrate media logs to Imagen from 3rd party MAM systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagen solving and how is that benefiting you?

Files are downloaded and accessible to us much quicker. The media logging function allows us to download clips instead of bulk files. The ability to download and send clips outside our organization using AFD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Imagen?

They are very keen to improve the platform and listen to our comments. Also, the support service is excellent and fixes issues very quickly. I think the service is very adaptive and can cater to each client's needs, which we like a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagen?

When you start on the platform, it can be a bit overwhelming for someone not used to the site, and the inbuilt user guide is not the most helpful. Imagen is fixing this by adding an extra tab where we can add our user guides, so the problem is resolved now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagen solving and how is that benefiting you?

As stated above, they are changing the platform to fit our needs. They have changed the layout so it is more relevant to our needs and keep informing us of new updates to the site that might best suit us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Imagen?

The public facing software is simple to use but provides superior technical results. Their team care about your customers as much as you do and strive to improve their product every day to maximise your content's potential. The flexibility of the software and the inbuilt functionality makes it a "one-stop-shop" for us, we no longer require different software packages to produce the final product, it's all integrated into the one reliable, secure platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagen?

Imagen allows you a great deal of administrative access into the back areas of the platform, we worry that we will mess something up! The platform is continually evolving, if there's a feature you want, or changes to be made, they will add, take away or invent them to improve their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Imagen:

Imagen thrives on detail, tell them everything including future aspirations and current requirements. Don't be afraid to ask question after question or for further detail on their responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagen solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using Imagen allows us to protect and subsequently share regimental museum archive collections with the public in one place. It provides the museum staff with tools to engage with and improve their catalogues, educate and share with the public and produce a revenue stream to improve their long term sustainability. 20,000 online visitors in less than 6 months have generated income, interest, publicity and pride in those collections. The museums state they've received more media attention and have seen visitor numbers increase as awareness of their holdings increases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To create and develop a more intuitive administration dashboard, allowing a more joined-up thinking approach to the overall functionality and user experience, developing a stable agile e-commerce service incorporating many file formats and asset types.

What do you like best about Imagen?

The platform has enabled us to move into a more cloud based infrastructure, allowing us to collaborate with other partners across the globe with ease, and taking away some of the headaches that existed with delivering footage previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagen?

The platform is more based around larger assets being used rather than single smaller files. This has meant a secondary solution for general shoots (which we already had in place). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Imagen:

Imagen has endless possibilities, so find out how it can work for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagen solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Imagen?

The Imagen software is easy to use and offers many different solutions to archive, log, store, manage and distribute your content. We chose Imagen because all the services needed are within Imagen's environment, no third party is needed to create a perfect video archive solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagen?

While there are storage and archiving possibilities for photos, the system is tailored for video distribution. It would be great if Imagen could enhance their photo capabilities, to create a single source for a holistic media archive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagen solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our content creation has become much more efficient. All data is easily accessible online for all our staff and contractors around the globe. Content distribution became much easier for the same reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
