It is can be only installed and it is not web based so user gets hindered because they can only use it from their computer. Sometimes it is difficult to run on Mac as compared to on Windows.There needs to be advanced level of customization so it can fit according to our needs.

Extensis Portfolio is overall an incredible tool which performs its functions in less amount of time with more productivity. For the basic functions it does its job efficiently and at a very low cost. It centralizes our assets and keeps them organized. High level functionality and it is a great investment. The GUI is incredible and it is easy to manage.
The team are very proactive and supportive. The product itself offers massive capability off-the-shelf with even further potential once you start looking at integration and expansion. It can be a massively powerful tool for our clients.
Nothing as of yet. We have only experienced good things with the solution to date, with our team adding value through customised development.
We integrate Portfolio into our clients' websites and have found it to massively improve productivity around asset management, but also to increase the business' optimisation and usage of these assets. Through implementation of this solution clients have been able to realise new business streams, digitise large volumes of assets and better manage their brands.
Our Photo Studio has been using Extensis Portfolio Server for almost 10 years now. We have watched it grow into a formidable value for those who cannot afford a six figure (or more) solution. We could not be happier with the product support we have received from Extensis and it has scaled with us as our number of assets has grown from hundreds of thousands into the millions.
When they eliminated the desktop client I missed some of the user interface features as an Administrator, but the benefits of the web client for the users far outweighed those concerns.
Before we had a DAM it would take days to find assets, now it takes minutes or even seconds. The efficiency boost in turning around photo requests cannot be understated.
Portfolio is a terrific mid-price DAM system that has many features of systems that cost three or four times as much. We like the ease of creating custom metadata templates, the ability to seamlessly and easily publish to the web and the ease of management.
The admin console occasionally kicks back errors and we have seen some issues when upgrading from certain versions. Nothing major, minor annoyances, nothing more.
The ability to centralize assets, dramatically decrease search times and customize searches has led to an increase in productivity and a shortening of work cycles. The ability to share selected assets with clients has also been a real benefit.
Portfolio is easy to integrate with/ It's Artificial Intelligence Auto-tagging saves huge time and resource for our clients, adds consistency and ensures that users find the images they need regardless of how they search. The Extensis staff are great, responsive adn supportive. They have a similar ethos to After Digital and are very customer focused whilst remaining attentive partners.
There is generally not much to dislike - this DAM does everything you need at a very good price. Not the cheapest but by no means the most expensive and for us the best value for your money.
We use Portfolio to offer our clients easy access to their digital assets. We use our own Connector to drive these assets into the front end CMS of the websites we build, creating beautifully designed, user-centered, mobile first sites but with the power of Portfolio to drive the content to the right page at the right time for the user to experience. Tye main issues our clients face is the accurate cataloguing and then retrieval of their digital assets.
Fast image search and collection. Image download and change. Image gallery sharing via NetPublish. Allows more than 1 catalog. Extensis It is very helpful in answering questions.
There is certainly generally not much to be able to dislike - this ABOUTIE does everything you want at a very very good price. Not the most affordable but don't ever typically the most expensive and regarding all of us the biggest benefit for your money.
The item worked real well for everyone (a small internal innovative group). It kept a record of our assets was easy to use from an conclusion customer perspective. It saved the great deal of period of time in finding assets each on disk and DVD AND BLU-RAY. Making utilization of the APIs we were capable to existing property with a key phrases and condition check package prior to the asset was accessible.
Modular, cost effective pricing for enterprise implementation
Loss of features between upgrades, no reporting available on usage metrics
Build sophisticated Image library, managing 1.65 Million assets
The server portion installs easy enough, it was a bit of a resource hog in our VMware environment. The client portion works well enough. Our main issue was in getting the end users to be consistent about tagging photos. Our biggest problem was that it uploading images always falls to an intern.
Expensive, would have liked to see a better non profit discount.
DAM. It helped us organize our images in a way we can use other products if needed.
