What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

The ability to work alongside colleagues or supervisors in collaborative workspaces is key to our success when utilizing the tool for major and minor projects or campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

To be quite honest, no major issues with the actual interface or tools, I think it continues to surprise and innovate. My only meh is that you advertise Chickfila's usage - could go without big negative impact brands being advertised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The connection piece is key. It allows for teams to come to together without a ton of back and forth, especially in the administration piece aka lost passwords, missing info, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

You get a personalized experience with the PhotoShelter team. My account rep is always available and ready to receive feedback for tools. I feel like my needs are always heard! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

Some of the integrations aren't built out as extensively as I would like. Additionally there isn't a desktop application or something that makes uploading to the DAM easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhotoShelter for Brands:

This is a great intro to a DAM. Storage space is great for the cost and you can add (I think) unlimited users. The admin seats are what costs you the money, but even that is priced well! The AI could use some finessing for what we need specifically (more text recognition rather than shapes or themes). But in general, I'm happy with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am currently solving organization and searchability issues within our assets. We definitely need to utilize the metadata tagging more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of dropping photos into and organizing galleries. Very simple and "Dummy Proof". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

I would wish for more tools for organization like sorting photos by file size, to make cleaning old photos out easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have had photoshelter for many years and our jobs would be much harder on sharing galleries and images with clients with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

On the surface, the admin side of Photoshelter for Brands (formerly Libris) has a lot of flexibility and good user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

However, as I use it more I discover a surprising number of features and options that no longer are part of the app. In addition, the public side is less customizable than the single-user Photoshelter accounts. They this is because those sites are designed for photographers as portfolio pages, while the Photoshelter for Brands pages are meant to easily search for a deliver digital assets. This is true, however I dont understand why they would eliminate good features, especially considering the Brands subscription is many times more expensive than the individual user accounts. For a previous client we switched them from Photoshelter to Canto which is more reasonably priced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Once we get the system up and running (a cumbrsome process) it will be great for making our photos and other assets easily findable and downloadable by anyone anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to upload, disseminate, update, and keep tabs on a variety of graphic assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

The overall look of the library. Needs a touch up on the UI / UX front. :D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest benefit is the ease at which I can hand off all graphic assets to the proper stakeholders and saves me a ton of email back and forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

Third Light is a sound platform with the best customer and technical support of any software I've used. This shouldn't be understated! It's what any software should be... but I've struggled in my 8+ years to find DAM software that actually works properly. Chorus correctly maps and embeds metadata in the files. Files won't disappear either, and Chorus won't re-write your metadata, lol. Third Light Support is always responsive, extremely knowledgable, and can provide both technical and creative solutions.

S/O to new features in Chorus: AI tagging, dual-pane interface, the sleek interface overall, link sharing, and having Marco assist in the migration from the previous IMS version. We have yet to try the new chat and sync modules, but are very eager to do so. Third Light keeps expanding with new features-- love it!

Also, Chorus is priced very fairly and way better than other platforms. I think this is a testament to Third Light's care in their product-- not trying to take advantage of the customer. This allows us to add on modules like AI tagging and hopefully others.

In addition to continually developing Chorus, their webinar series by the Customer Success Team, is highly informative. Whether you are interested in Chorus or are already using it, I always take loads of notes that help me excel at my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

Honestly, the pros far outweigh the cons. We selected Third Light because of our discontent with other DAM software. I would prefer to go into critical detail on those platforms. If anything, XMP sidecar file support would be helpful for RAW files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sharing via Folder, Collection, Link have been highly utilized by Teams. This is an efficient way to collaborate without having to download, re-upload, email/ transfer, etc. I'd like to explore more features available to the teams, like assigning Space Managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Danny Smith of PhotoShelter for Brands

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Matthew. I'm really glad your migration to Chorus was a success and you're enjoying the new features available. I've passed on your comments about the webinars to Guy and Marco as they really like to hear any feedback.

I'll investigate the XMP sidecar file support issue and log a feature request for this if it hasn't already been done. If this is a file type we can support in the future we'll be in touch to let you know.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review. The feedback helps us and I'm sure helps others looking for a solution!

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

The software interface is well-designed and fairly easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

I still get confused on permissions and what's available for who to see, but that's probably an internal issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Occasional problems have to do with sharing assets with someone outside of our group; benefits are the accessibility of the content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
