I have used Portfolio at several other work sites, and it continues to best the best overall solution for saving the past work, taking care of the needs of today and moving forward towards the future. We have been able to create and share live images with our team, expanding our social media reach. Maintaining more than one MILLION assets, we count on Extensis Portfolio!

We work together with the fine folks at Extensis on a regular basis to update and improve on a great-working process. Their team has a spirit of cooperation in helping us solve problems. Nothing to dislike about this wonderful solution to our DAM needs!

We serve a wide variety of clients needing dynamic imagery without the problems associated with cataloging one-million+ images. Extensis Portfolio helps us streamline our workflow and allows a thoughtful and effective method of asset management. Overall, we have been able to train easily and empower them to seek out imagery with little to no assistance.

As the IT support specialist at my company, I appreciate the ease of installation on both the server and client ends. The priority support has been invaluable and saved us in numerous binds. Portfolio interface and functionality has been improving with each and every release.

Having to update database file versions now and then when new releases come out.

Centralized location for all of our assets. This has allowed users from numerous sites across the country to access those assets in one location instead of having to deal with version and location conflicts.

When you have over 2 million assets and you want to reuse some past designs, or find an related design, Portfolio helps you do that within seconds. You can keep your assets super organized with very little effort.

The Web portal is ok, but i miss the Desktop app. Understand they are bring that back soon. You have to engage your end users to enter metadata.

The problem was trying to locate past designs for reuse. It would take hours to find an asset that you were looking for and you had to have an idea of what area of the server to look at. When you have over 15 TB of artwork, you can spend all day looking for files your needing. Now with Portfolio, you can search by numerous criteria and have your results in seconds. The ROI on this product was less than 6 months.

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 really easy to set up on the server side with minimal knowledge required. From the user end the interface is very straight forward and user friendly. Organizing your assets and accessing them can be done with ease.

The only thing we dislike is having to wait for new features. But generally between versions there isn't a lot of wait time.

We are making the process in which we create, utilize and deliver images and creative assets to the business and customers much more streamlined. Portfolio has been a great way to put in safeguards to protect our assets by insuring they are in the right location and quickly accessible by a simple search.

The Extensis Portfolio is a great tool, very easy to use, a very good image organization, adding and embedding metadata. For a small agency that creates thousands of images is the best way to store and manage everything. Also I like the ease of batch processing.

Using the desktop client you need to be aware of when you drag things around, not to drag the folders on the catalogs or server. The images moved will not be able to take/remember and will erase the metadata.

Organizing and storing a large amount of images and videos, also easy access and a good search engine.

I like the multiple search options that are available, the tagging feature. Also, being able to create smart galleries. When adding new images into the server they sync quickly if necessary. I love the feature that allows to download and even batch download. Amazing import/export… super easy to use.

There is definitely more for me to learn on this program because I've been using it for less then a year but so far I haven't encountered very many things that I dislike. The only thing slightly negative thing I can say is that it's very easy to drag things and move files around which can sometimes be a problem for what we use it for.

Extensis portfolio helps our company view photography and packaging assets on quite a large scale. It has very quick syncing time which is beneficial for what it is used for. It is a great centralized program that eliminated a lot of problems we were before having before with accessibility to images and assets.

Easy to use and intuitive DAM. The drag and drop feature is a great time saver with designers. Adding files the the network and auto keywording is a great feature of this DAM.

I wish the mobile app was more well defined and robust. It does not allow for as easy an upload and integration into the main gallery as I would like.

Using Extensis Portfolio allowed us to bring all assets into one system for all brands. It also allowed us to divided assets based on contract and use need.

I like it because I can import documents easily and it helps me even more in incorporating image, audio and video files of all formats. The management feature allows me to organize the site content into catalogs, folders, and galleries. I used it the first time when I went to my Aloo Telecom customer and I really liked the product

On some low-resource computers, I noticed some crashes

The administrative feature of the software has helped me greatly, in that it allows users to restrict catalog access to people with different roles and departments. Besides, it's a very easy tool to use and my entire analyst team can handle it easily.

I like that our entire team can upload and share documents easily and efficiently. Portfolio creates an easy way to view assets along with their characteristics, set up virtual stores and cater them to customers.

I don't like that anyone can delete items or move folders accidentally.

We have one centralized location for all corporate digital assets. It eliminates the need for multiple folders on different computers. Tracking who uploads and downloads images is a great feature, too.
