  ### 2. WoodWing Swivle is an excellent choice for managing digital assets.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cassie G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2024

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

WoodWing Swivle is an excellent choice for managing digital assets. The platform stands out for its user-friendly navigation and the remarkable speed at which we can access and retrieve images. The integration with Adobe InDesign seamlessly fits into my workflow and drives productivity. Overall, Swivle's features make digital asset management more efficient and streamlined.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

Time investment is required in the initial stages but it is however essential. While this is a common aspect of most Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems, the payoff in terms of organiation and ease of access makes it worthwhile.

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A major benefit of using Swivle is the significant time savings it provides once everything is set up. The ability to quickly locate and retrieve assets means less time spent searching for files and more time dedicated to productive tasks.

  ### 3. Swivle is a very accessible platform where I can quickly and efficiently find my assets.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katrien S. | Zaakvoerder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2023

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

Swivle is the perfect solution for my digital asset management in my company. It's a platform where you can quickly navigate, and the power and speed with which I can access and retrieve images are fantastic. The plugin for seamless integration with Adobe InDesign software is also an indispensable tool that I wouldn't want to miss.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

When starting with a Digital Asset Management system, it can be time-consuming to add the necessary metadata to documents and images. However, the more time you invest in this process, the quicker and more efficient the return will be later on. This principle is not specific to Swivle but holds true for all DAM systems. :)

  ### 4. Your single source of Truth - a home for all your Digital content

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrew P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2020

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

Searchability of your content is incredible, with Elasticsearch 
Incredibly easy to use
Highly customisable 
Massive standard metadata fields out the box
Smart and sophisticated multiple sharing abilities - with massive customisation 
Excellent and robust management of content, literally all content.
Super secure and reliable
Brand portal ability
Version control
Highly scalable
Excellent API's

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

They don't have a great mobile version on phones. The Tablet version is okay, but could be better!

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

If like us, our content (all digital) was exploding and trying to keep a grip on exactly where every file/document/image/contract was, became a challenge. We implemented WoodWIng Assets, did the bulk import and now, what used to take a couple of minutes, maybe even 10-15min looking for that digital content, is now almost instantaneous. 
Everything is stored, managed, and shared from our SIngle Source of Truth. The one place we keep everything in, even all confidential documents as its highly secure and with detailed and granular permissions on users and groups, only the right people ever see the content they allowed to!

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Finding all your content, quickly and easily, but super quickly and super easily. 
Sharing large files with both internal and external users is incredibly powerful, as you can set the actual download presets. 
We can manage every single version of all content, and we know which is the most recent and current version without having to open the files. 
Metadata has allowed us to keep track of expiration dates on contracts.
We can keep track of the actual usage of our marketing assets.
We store all our legal and contractual agreements, and we have full details on exactly who changed what, and when.

  ### 5. Clean, quick, straight-forward asset management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jordan F. | Technical Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2019

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

Compared to other asset management apps, Swivle offers a clean, crisp interface, simple to learn and use, without any additional weight of various rarely used features. The Collections feature is great, which allows to create collections of assets, like a playlist in Spotify, without having to duplicate them. Along with the History feature, you only have to assign meta data to an asset once, and it can sort of "live" in a multiple places. Uploading and downloading is a breeze, and the Check Out feature, coupled with the Swivle browser Agent, can be incredibly useful. Also the amount of storage to price, compared to other competitors is pretty great.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

There is no way to add custom metadata. Their built-in fields are pretty robust, over 400 fields available, but if I wanted to add a custom field, I can't. The mobile app is pretty simple and great, but you cannot upload through it. The browser version of Swivle is not very mobile-friendly either.

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

If you've been shopping around for other DAMs, you may have noticed they are very expensive and offer a bunch of stuff you don't need. Swivle seemed to have the best bang for the buck.

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We've gotten our assets so much more organized, rather than using a typical cloud file service, and having it sync massive files to dozens of computers. This has also allowed us to create a much better asset sharing experience for outside parties, agencies, etc via the Portals feature. All around a great experience.

  ### 6. 8 years IT management experience in Media Industry

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Oscar C. | Jefe Unidad de Sistemas, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2018

  ### 7. I already recommend Swivle to a few other companies. I like the price - quality ratio of Swivle

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2019

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

- The separate log-in dashboard for our retailers
- The layout

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

The navigation through the system can be made easier. Making it a bit more for 'dummies' is sometimes what works best, and have more 'i'

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

a nice looking database from where my B2B customers can download images, managing all our marketing materials and having a simple yet effective overview.

  ### 8. Good Product

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2019

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

Good way to easily group share photos across departments and organizations. Great functionality for making sure people only see what they are able to use.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

Search is a bit mysterious to me. Seems a little finicky.

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

Great platform, easy to use, easy to add. 

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Photo sharing is streamlined. Helps our issues with stock photos and knowing what we already own the rights to use.

  ### 9. Easy to use digital asset manager.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kimberly A. | Principal, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2017

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

Elvis allows my team to collaborate on designs and lets us keep track of what publications the assets was used in. Simple user interface with the ability to share with outside clients for image approvals, comments, and allows you to set a time limit on how long you want to share a link to assets. Drag and drop upload with batch tagging is good feature.


**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

When creating keywords, there isn't way to edit or delete keyword tags that was created. Video previews are only for the first 10 mins. 

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

It helps to have someone dedicated to uploading and cataloging images to save designers time when searching keywords.  Don't just use words that only your team can understand but anyone that will need to access and search for images.

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The design team had a problem with assets that was being stored/linked to another designer desktop. With Elvis we no longer have that as a issue and everyone has access to assets because they are now stored in one location and is able to link/drag and drop assets in to adobe software.

**Official Response from Gerard Van Den Akker:**

> Hi Kimberly, 

My name is Madré Roothman. I'm the Product Marketing Manager of Elvis DAM here at WoodWing. 

I want to take the time to say thank you for such a great review. We always appreciate when a customer takes the time to write a great recommendation.

  ### 10. The digital assets you need, when you need them, wherever you are!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mauro T. | CTO, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2017

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

It's hard to say you need a DAM until you find yourself drowning in a tsunami of digital assets. Elvis make easy, in no time and with an almost flat learning curve to get back in control of what you have and what you can use.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

Difficult to say, maybe that the UI doesn't have too much "nerdy" features but, eventually, it's one of its main values. 

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It make the difference between wasting time struggling to find the last version of a digital asset and simply using what you need being sure is the right asset. The main benefits are a terrific improvement of productivity and the reduction of errors down close to zero.

**Official Response from Gerard Van Den Akker:**

> Hi Mauro,
 
There’s not much we appreciate more than great customer feedback. Like the “nerdy” features you’d like to see more of in Elvis DAM. 🤓
 
We think you’ll be excited to know that we have some new features up our sleeve - due for release soon - and another exciting announcement tbc beginning of next year. But we’ll update you when the time comes. 
 
We just want to say thanks for being a customer, and for taking the time to write a great recommendation.
 
In the meantime, if you ever need more information on our products, you can contact me at marketing@woodwing.com.
 
Have a fantastic day!

  ### 11. Easy to use image management

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Belinda A. | Owner - Graphic Designer, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

It is easy to find images, move images around and rename images.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

I don't like how many images you can see at a time - I wish that interface was a little easier.

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can share images with the customer instead of downloading them and saving them into an email. They can also download the images if they need to.

**Official Response from Gerard Van Den Akker:**

> Hi Belinda,
 
Thank you for the positive feedback on Elvis DAM. 
 
We’re happy to hear that some of the features you like the most are things we also pride ourselves on. Like finding images easily, thanks to our built-in Elasticsearch technology.

  ### 14. A great tool to manage and share digital assets

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eppu H. | Sales, Media Production, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2015

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

I love being able to share the assets and folders with autenthic links.
I also like the ability to easily browse the strorage.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

I'd like to have more options sharing the folders - "dropbox" kind of workflow.
I'd also like to have more simple UI and a workflow for sharing links.

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

Easy to archive and explore the assets. Possible to make modifications to the assets without the need of download/upload actions.
Easy to make APIs and automations with production.

  ### 15. I'm very excited about Elvis DAM.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tove S. | Produktionskoordinator, Publishing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2015

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

As I have a background as a layouter and is now production coordinator I am very fond of the highly visual and intuitive interface.
It's easy to search or browse for assets and it is great that you can create collections of photos from conferences or otherwise.
I like that I have all kind af assets in one place as opposed to an image database and a server with old layouts and PDFs and so on.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

When I send a dossier with an article to archive from Content Station and have to bring it back again it is not the same type of document I'll get back.
I also have some troubles with the Elvis/Content Station integration, but I think that it mostly has to do with the fact that we haven't upgraded til Content Station 9 - yet.

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

Go for it!

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being a production coordinator at the Journal of the Danish Medical Association my main taks using Elvis DAM is  helping the Journalists and layouters search for and retrieve photos and old articles or announcements that they need to reuse in some way. Our archive of articles dates back to 2002 so if a member of the Danish Medical Association needs something this old I'm the one who finds it.
I am also in charge of to archiving documents from Content Station to Elvis.

**Official Response from Gerard Van Den Akker:**

> Hi Tove, 

We at WoodWing love it when a customer provides such thorough feedback on our products. It helps us improve–to provide you with the best possible product we have to offer. 

We just wanted to take the time to say thanks.

  ### 16. CyanGate uses Elvis DAM internally as well as a developer and reseller of Elvis DAM.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James G. | Account Executive, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2014

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

CyanGate chose Elvis DAM for the following reasons for mid-tier DAM solutions for departments and small to mid-tier companies:

User Friendly UI enables rapid adoption.
Elasticsearch provides scalability and reliability for searches to take milliseconds. 
Share Feature enables secure file sharing without stressing email servers.
Rules based permission settings enables easy administration and security.
REST and SOAP APIs enables easy integration with other systems.
Underlying Technology: Elvis DAM is Java based enables easy customization.  Elvis DAM was the first DAM to use the Lucene search engine to enable rapid search results.
Scalability.  Elvis DAM is the only DAM solution that can handle 1 billion assets.
Native integration with Adobe CS, CC and CS6 allowing drag and drop features and auto-versioning.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

If a customer needs support for 3D / multidimensional files or advanced video transcoding for video, the customer will need to integrate with another third party tool with Elvis DAM.  This can be solved by leveraging the APIs or customization.

Although Elvis DAM is open for customization, some may need assistance if they are unfamiliar with Javascript.  In these cases, a customer may want a consultant like CyanGate.  On the other hand, I have seen customers with excellent java skills excel at making their own customizations.

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

Elvis DAM is an excellent solution for mid-tier and small companies and departments looking to organize, search, share, repurpose and distribute content. Given Elvis 5's server clustering, Elasticsearch and ability to handle a billion assets, Elvis DAM can be an Enterprise level solution.

Those who will benefit the most are the following:
Using Adobe CS, CC, CS6 and CC2014 on a daily basis
Using large amounts of photography and InDesign
Publishers using WoodWing Content Station or Enterprise
Indexing large amounts of material
Searching for text within documents
Regulating incoming materials via FTP sites

I encourage those considering Elvis DAM to run both individual tests for thirty days and a server trial to test on their own systems.  Before engaging a server trial make sure you have the time commitment from all of those involved in the project, the equipment and test cases in a live environment.

To test hosting or a cloud solution, please contact CyanGate.


**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Typically, customers are looking to solve the following and received the following results:

Indexing all assets - Elvis DAM serves as the central place to search for all uploaded content.
Manage Versioning - Elvis DAM uses auto-versioning to monitor changes.
Regulating asset usage for copyright, legal, proprietary or marketing use - The rules and permissions settings enable administrators to grant access to assets.  Some customers regulate assets by setting rules to sunset assets from usage.
Relieve the burden of sending large files via email - By leveraging the Share Client, hypertext to assets can be sent without encountering performance on the email server.
Better communication between sales and marketing - Marketers use Elvis DAM to share marketing collateral with sales reps in the field.
Tracking assets in large documents - Elvis DAM tracks all assets contained within a document.  
Saving money - the ROI of Elvis DAM varies company to company, however the general benefits are reducing legal expenses from asset misuse, regaining time from staff by accelerating searches, repurposing content with a shorter time to market and eliminating file sharing tools.

  ### 17. Elvis DAM for retail

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2015

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

- open APIs
- based on really quick search index
- overall look and feel
- performance
- licensing model
- server supports Linux platform
- new indesign plugin works really well and uses asset unique identifiers when linking 
- clustering and new elasticsearch-based index in version 5.0

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

- Elvis adobe drive had problems but now working as charm with indesign plugin based on Woodwing technology
- versions <5.0 did not support clustering
- media processing engine queuing and load balancing algorithm is not good in 4.x versions (one stuck node may have impact on all asset processing)


**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

we found adding ESB as integration platform for DAM really useful. ESB + Elvis APIs allow really good and cost-effective integrations to other systems and datasources. 

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

main focus is improving overall workflows of retail marketing by having all assets (whatever) in one centralized DAM. 
Also content creation process has been redesigned so that it works on DAM platform. 

Benefits realized
- huge boost on media processes both time- and moneywise
- no more excel-sheets in e-mails flowing accros company - all assets in DAM linked to products have all product information as Elvis meta fields
- Elvis has enabled us to further streamline retail businesses and allow us to develop new services


  ### 18. A Great Solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ed M. | CEO, Fine Art, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2015

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

Being able to browse a catalog of tens of thousands of images sorted in a specific manner is the key with this product. We are able to quickly gain access to critical data in a fraction of the time is used to take,

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

It would be great to have the ability to batch en masse images to meta tag.

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

Streamline and create batch processing of meta tagging. For instance: if you create a collection or "catalog folder" to house certain images that share a similar characteristics, when you drop these into a predetermined folder, they all become tagged with the attributes assigned to that folder. They can later be moved anywhere while maintaining those tags.

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having multiple workstations looking at the catalog from multiple locations. Quick access to a vast library of images presented in a logical, easy to read manner.

  ### 19. Elvis rocked my world!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John S. | Festival Producer, Entertainment, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2015

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

I put together an 80-page film guide for the Sarasota Film Festival. There was no way I would have gotten this done without Elvis. Superior Media Solutions was extremely instrumental in helping me use Elvis.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

I really don't have anything negative to say. Elvis is as good as its namesake.

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The film guide has thousands of assets, each requiring specialized metadata. I needed a system to help me quickly ingest those assets and give me the ability to put my finger on any one of them at a moment's notice.

  ### 20. Using Woodwing in Editorial Environment Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2015

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

Woodwing made tablet interactivity very fast and easy on a day to day basis.  Was very intuitive to work with and was very quick and easy to learn.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

Woodwing does not work super well with other softwares of similar makings, like DPS for example.  There were many times the easiest route would be to use both softwares but I would have to start from scratch because this was not possible. Also I had many issues with the content viewer.  Interactivity would not work or be corrupt in the viewer but would work fine on devise.  Made for extra work and time used to clarify issues.

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

Make sure you are aware of the interaction of programs and what you need to tweak in your workflow to have everything interact seamlessly.

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Woodwing is useful and great for an national editorial magazine environment.  However I believe that the software needs to take into consideration the other products it will be interacting with more and make sure that these core products all work together with ease and without disruption.

  ### 21. Easy-to-use DAM product - waiting for more

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ian M. | Senior Business Analyst, Digital Asset Management, Marketing and Advertising, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2014

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

The UI is very intuitive and easy to use. Overall, it's not a very intimidating experience, which was important for our users. Getting assets into Elvis was so easy. As the admin, I felt it would have been a very great product to maintain. For a smaller company with less growth than ours, this "product" would provide a clean DAM experience for any organization.

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

I know the product is configurable/customizable to a degree, but I do not know to what degree. I have a feeling Elvis' ability to grow around an organization's use cases could be limited.

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

If DAM (archive) is your primary need - this is a great product.

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Solving - Organization, search, and metadata. We have no DAM in place at the moment, so we need to control the assets we have and create a more secure channel for them to travel in our creative process.

Realized - Without DAM, we believe our efficiency has peaked. Process scale and risk management are huge red flags for us the longer we continue without DAM.

  ### 22. Woodwing Elvis - Making content designing a breeze!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design

**Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2014

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

I like the fact you can collaborate and share your digital work with everyone on the team. We can quickly and easily see how our work is coming along from others comments etc. the DAM is great, its easier than using separate windows with bridge and other content management system. The functions of woodwing too are intuative compared to Adobe DPS, there are less steps to remember which makes designing content so simple.





**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

Nothing, its great! Would be great if the design of the DAM interface design was in light rather than dark, but that's just a personal thing, saves me getting headaches.

**Recommendations to others considering WoodWing Assets:**

Stick with it! It's only going to get better.

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Quickly organising content and keeping it easier to find our files and also makign content come alive is worth so much. Not only can we do our work quickly, means our reports get to our clients quicker too.

  ### 23. Woodwing is such a powerful tool and has always been reliable and consistent

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Caroline L. | Photo and Archives Manager, Non-Profit Organization Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2014

**What do you like best about WoodWing Assets?**

The software is such a powerful tool with so many functions. The ability to share resources remotely smoothly speaks volumes about Woodwing. 

**What do you dislike about WoodWing Assets?**

I never fully received a formal tutorial on how to utilize the program when I was working with it, it was unfortunate that there were many functions that I am sure I missed out on, but by no means is this a reflection on Woodwing but rather a shortfall from company that implemented Woodwing. 

**What problems is WoodWing Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Digital asset management systems are being utilized more and more on a daily basis to communicate and share information. The need to have reliable and consistent quality is extremely important.
