"Covers everything we need in digital asset management"
What do you like best about Extensis?

It's ability to keyword, accept multiple filetypes (haven't found one yet that it doesn't accept), and see the metadata of images.

What do you dislike about Extensis?

Kind of clunky, takes a while to load if you have a lot of images. Not intuitive to start, need a lot of experimentation and training. Wish there was a way to share specific folders with others without needing the desktop app. Also some photos do not show a thumbnail without syncing them again, an extra step that takes a long time.

What problems is Extensis solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed something to hold our 3Tb+ images and videos, and this is able to hold them and easily access them. If the images are keyworded, they're easily searchable, which becomes necessary on jobs that need to be done quickly.

"I have been using Extensis Portfolio for more than 6 years and rely on it for the success of my work"
What do you like best about Extensis?

The ability to set up and share catalogs over the Internet rather than using closed networks.

What do you dislike about Extensis?

Not really much of anything. The software pretty well works as it should.

What problems is Extensis solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a small group of imaging professionals including graphic artists, photographers and videographers distributed across the country that provide our services to a large gov't agency. We are all able to upload imagery as it's created to allow each of us the ability to use that imagery in our own projects.

"Extensis Portfolio review from a high-volume product (sku) manufacturing customer"
What do you like best about Extensis?

We have a wide variety of users that require specific uses for our digital assets and Portfolio Server delivers. We were able to integrate Portfolio within our Web-based Retailer Portal so that only approved clients with an approved sign-in could access selected assets. Internally, we use the Web-Client interface for entering, updating images and metadata.

What do you dislike about Extensis?

We would like to see the availability of using vector clipping masks with our EPS images. As of this date, Portfolio does not support this needed feature.

What problems is Extensis solving and how is that benefiting you?

Directed access to all our authorized assets for Internal staff use, external domestic use, and external international use, all using the same interface. Web-based and accessed so it's always available. Dramatic decrease in staff time sending assets by e-mail requests. Easily updatable with minimum amount of staff training.

"The answer we'd been looking for"
What do you like best about Extensis?

Very useful for staff across our varied business to search and discover relevant imagery for their needs.

What do you dislike about Extensis?

How the search engine behaves. It's a strange beast sometimes, just when you think you understand it... it returns un-related imagery.

What problems is Extensis solving and how is that benefiting you?

Storage and quick effective access to almost 100,000 club archival images. Beneficial for our Marketing department to manage the use of imagery - ensuring copyright is covered. All staff can search the archive, then make a request to Marketing for any particular images, with information about intended use.
