What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

Design of the site is very contemporary and more modern compared to previous software offered by Thirdlight. Searching and refining searches in the site is much easier and much more obvious for the standard day-to-day users we have on our system. Navigation through site is great and was one of the first things our users noticed upon logging in. The pricing structure compared to rivals is very fair. We have over 300,000 assets on the site and searching is much quicker than it was on IMS which is fantastic for our users and saves a lot of time in the long-run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

Lack of customisation - a lot of the features that were previously customisable on the IMS software aren't as changeable on Chorus - often you will have to get in touch with the Dev team to assist but they are very quick to respond to queries and super helpful. 'Spaces' are a little difficult to get your head around if you're used to using the IMS software and there isn't a 'Lightbox' functionality so it may take a while to get used to using collections to share imagery both internally and externally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhotoShelter for Brands:

If you're in the market for a DAM system I would highly recommend Chorus. We previously used the IMS software and recently migrated all of our assets to Chorus - we had a considerable amount of support from the Thirdlight team which made the migration very smooth. They were also able to communicate with our website hosts to ensure that all images previously linked to our site remained linked throughout the migration and afterward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A much more impressive and slick external facing interface for stakeholders to use has been very beneficial to us and is a signifincant improvement over the same external facing areas on IMS. It is easier to manage and edit users and keep track of who is able to do what within the site and spaces through the 'Dashboard' as well as the function to 'Impersonate' users meaning it is much easier to troubleshoot user permission issues etc compared to the previous IMS software. Users have the ability to refine searches which improves their chances of finding exactly what they're looking for and reduces the amount of assistance administrators have to provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Danny Smith of PhotoShelter for Brands

Morning Jordan, thank you very much for your detailed review! All of that feedback is really helpful to us, and I'm sure your comments on how you've been using IMS and now Chorus will be useful to others too. We would be happy to arrange some time to chat to you about the interface customisation options for consideration in future updates to Chorus. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with the customer success team with any feedback or anything else we can help with.

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

The whole system is really easy to use - both as an admin and a user - and since switching from its previous version to Third Light Chorus has been so beneficial, both to user input and output, as every process involved in keeping our Image Library has been made easier because of it. Users are asking way less questions re help than before, which means it is simple to use and easy to understand... which is great!

I like the dual screen functionality, which means it's easy to move images or files from one folder to another. I also like the layout, with the spaces better laid out with large preview boxes for users to see what there is in each folder. The drag and drop functionality too is so helpful, as you can pull files from File Explorer to Third Light, and it uploads without a problem!

What I also like is that it gives you data on what pictures are being downloaded and by who as well, and - as an admin - allows you a chance to review photos/files before they get uploaded, which I really like. It allows admins (me) an element of control and ultimately makes the site very user-friendly, as I then know files are tagged correctly and are in the right place.

I also like the team behind it. I know that, if I do have a problem, I will receive an email back from a member of the support team within an hour and the problem is usually fixed with a couple of hours... if not straight away. They are always happy to help, no matter how big or small the problem. The team also keep you updated on when there are updates as well - via automated emails - so I always know when expected downtime is (if any!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

There is nothing I dislike about Third Light and haven't come across any negatives in our 7 years of using them at ABP. I would happily recommend Third Light to anyone looking for this kind of service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhotoShelter for Brands:

If you're looking for something that is easy to use, simple to set up and easy share links between both existing users and outside parties, Third Light is the right fit. The team is great, the set up was great and the migration happens overnight so doesnt impact work time, and the switch is seamless. Thank you team!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It saves me time in having to answer lots of user questions, as there literally aren't any. I always say to let me know if anyone has any questions, and more and more I'm getting comments to say how easy it is to use compared to complaints about how clunky it used to be. Setting a new user up is easy, and very quick, which saves me loads of time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Danny Smith of PhotoShelter for Brands

Thanks for this lovely review, Rachel. It's really helpful for us to see which features benefit you as an admin of the site and the team at ABP. Your comments on the migration I'm sure will be useful to others looking to move too. We're looking forward to working with you in 2021 and beyond!

(Original )Information
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

Very user friendly and easy to navigate your way around it, we can't imagine working without it as it is a very popular and trusted resource across our regional teams. The customer and IT support you get from the team at Third Light is also fantastic. The Presets for downloading images such as scaling for Powerpoint templates has been so popular and it is the home for all our brand identities in various file formats. Allowing controlled access to our Design Agency partners also saves myself and many colleagues a great deal of time and assists collaboration on projects. It has been great value for money in allowing the company to share assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

I don't dislike anything - it meets all our needs 100%. As the Administrator I have never received any negative feedback from users during all the years we have used the library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to share our vast media assets on Third Light across our many regions / teams makes a massive difference to our daily way of working, empowering users to browse and share what they need instantly. The analytics allow us to maintain the site extremely well and monitor its successful use. We are also able to control the quality of our imagery which is a huge step forward. Using the admin tool to enforce metadata during upload also maintains very successful search results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Danny Smith of PhotoShelter for Brands

Many thanks for your positive review, Craig! It's great to hear your trust in Third Light has been repaid. Thank you too for pointing out the features that are saving you time and assisting with collaboration on projects. Your feedback is really appreciated.

What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Brands?

I have used Third Light software for many years and find it is well designed , reliable, stable and easy to use. We use it to securely store and catalogue thousands of photographs. Colleagues who use the software, all sing its praises. Third Light are a great company to work with.

With all software, it is the aftersales support that matters, when you have a problem or just need some help. I would highly rate the Support Team at Third Light - I always receive a prompt and competent reply to support tickets. Great support saves you time - I have wasted hours fixing issues with 'other' software providers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Brands?

The cost. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for. You get a great product that does the job, it is constantly updated with new features, all assets are backed-up, and if you need help, there is the fantastic support team to call upon. For me, it is a service worth paying for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhotoShelter for Brands:

I don't often recommend software, but I am very impressed with Third Light, as a company and with the quality of their software. It is a huge investment when you choose an Image Management System and you won't go far wrong choosing Third Light. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a solution to store, catalogue and search the thousands of photographs we had stored in various folders, dropboxes, external dives and so on. All our assets are now securely stored in one place and accessible across the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
