What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

While I had less interaction with PhotoShelter than my team, it was a fantastic resource to help our designers and content creators to utilize approved sources. It was really great as a content creator to get access to our digital asset library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

I did not have many issues with PhotoShelter when we were using this service. I would say that the UI experience can take a little getting used to when you're first starting out, but just fine after some exploration of the platform. However, we ended up stopping the service because of change ups on our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhotoShelter for Brands:

PhotoShelter for Brands was an excellent tool for my team to distribute digital assets better. I wish we were still using this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PhotoShelter for Brands solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest problem solved through PhotoShelter was a more reliable means of sharing our design assets with our team (and company). It helped to reduce issues about accessing assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

If you're diligent about tagging, the search function (once you learn some of the tricks, e.g., Term +Term) is robust and an excellent tool for all invited users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

The library staff UI is pretty clunky, not very intuitive, and feels dated. There is no desktop application, which would be a convenient addition. Moving files from one folder to another always breaks permissions - there should be a way to turn that off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhotoShelter for Brands:

My biggest advice is don't let too much time go between entering metadata. Libris is most powerful when your images have the correct keywords etc. Otherwise, it can quickly turn into another old messy file system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PhotoShelter for Brands solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have solved image delivery hold ups – especially when a department is in need of past images for FPO designs. Libris allows them to have access to only approved imagery, without needing to contact one of the creatives for delivery – giving them the freedom to design to spec before requesting new bespoke imagery.

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

I find the usability of the platform is to understand, navigate and host all of our branding assets. It keeps the files in an ornagized, structured way that is easy for our staff to find what they're looking for through a seamless search function. Photoshelter helps house digital assets in one location versus our previous setup of having assets in different folders on our internal servers which would be hard to navigate for staff and new staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

I love everything about it, nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PhotoShelter for Brands solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that we are solving is having all of our assets in one easy to use location versus having all of our files on various locations computers and hard drives. The ability to quickly search for what you need based on keywords and metadata is super helpful for end users such as staff and some external vendors to find particular photos and brand assets.

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

Being able to share your photos for your organization when people cannot come to you directly is necessary today. I put PhotoShelter to work for one of my biggest clients Chick-fil-A.

Now all the photos that were on CDs/DVDs in someone's desk drawer are online and easy to access through keyword searches. We can also limit the access to who we want to see the images to the world if we choose.

The best stewardship you can do for your images is to have them where they can be used over and over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

Workspaces is great in users creating their own galleries, however I wish they didn't have to send a request to an editor or administrator for them to share with others in their team that already have access to the same images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhotoShelter for Brands:

They will help you but you can always hire me to help you know how Chick-fil-A uses the system and other organizations I help setup on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PhotoShelter for Brands solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is a great solution for delivering images to clients and for the organization to reuse the images. Most organizations that don't have easy searchable photo library will spend more creating new images than what they could have saved by having all their content available and searchable for those in their organizations.

Using images more often and improving the communication of the organization. It is saving us a lot of money and time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

Cloud-based access is very efficient. The AI tagging is an incredible tool for utilizing metadata for storage. Being able also to have a public-facing portfolio is a massive benefit for sharing and distributing assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

The cost of storage is astronomically high. To afford it, one must cut down on many features and sacrifice space, making other competitors more attractive. Restrictive customer service policies on pro-rated refunds and more also hurt it as a recommendation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhotoShelter for Brands:

Consider every possible DAM solution out there, especially Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive. Photoshelter is a phenomenal product, but the high-cost barrier along with restrictive policies that force a long-term investment makes it a dangerous gamble. It all depends on company needs, but if one is only looking for storage, this is not the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PhotoShelter for Brands solving and how is that benefiting you?

Running out of storage and generally backing up everything shot into a place that's easily accessible for everyone. Creating a public place to store assets and distribute them accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
