What differentiates Acquia DAM (Widen Collective) from other similar products?
With a single source of truth for digital assets, asset version control, and integrations and linkages with other systems (sales enablement system, website, Portals microsite application on Widen), we may change an out-of-date file on all linked systems by uploading a new file in one location. We utilize it as a major point of contact for our IT team for training, resources, new company information and a variety of other useful stuff. We also enjoy the fact that we can quickly upgrade versions as needed.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Widen is designed to train a full-time manager. It is a self-service system in which administrators may configure and maintain their own systems. It is possible to get items in a variety of file formats, support for a variety of file formats. Permissions can be set to protect assets, users can visit the website with a standard Internet browser. Without the need for pricey software, media may be set up in minutes, when Widen assistance is required, the support crew is always professional and friendly and is available via online chat and/or email support.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Integrates with other systems through a network of partners. Individual integrations might be slow and appear to be poorly managed. Widen charges an installation cost for new apps inside its system, but it is not always apparent what that price is for, and it might appear expensive, especially if you are your own DAM administrator and conduct all of your own system configuration and maintenance. Navigating the admin page may be a bit tough if I as an admin could simply edit the display settings to make use of different levels of access so I could immediately see what access my subscribers have and make additions or changes without having to.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Widen is a program worth considering; it is one of the best in its class. A fantastic presentation on how the service operates links all of the dots we were searching for. It appears to be significantly simpler than the other presentations we evaluated.

What differentiates Acquia DAM (Widen Collective) from other similar products?
We share the business of our high-quality items with our agents and merchants, making our collaboration easier. The ability to examine the performance of various items at the right time allows us to make better budgeting decisions. When a customer comes to us, it is much easier to send them to the same location and provide the correct merchandise.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Widen Collective has provided me with several advantages in selling our items. I can quickly find relevant material by keyword and convert file formats to run on my various channels. Their utility appeals to me, and they play a vital role in my everyday routines. When looking for items with the appropriate use rights, the tagging option comes in handy. What I enjoy about it is the flexibility to export files in a variety of formats and sizes.
What do you dislike most about this product?
When I first started, there were some challenges; it was a strange product, and the UI was not properly designed, but it now delivers a lot of functionality and a great looking interface for our installation, it might be difficult to ensure that our content contributors upload materials on time. Adoption requires a significant amount of work. We took roughly 2-3 months to complete the installation.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is simple to use and affordable, and the demo can be seen for a better understanding, making it highly credible. Time-consuming operations like as labeling and multi-channel content dissemination can be automated. This application is for you if you need a data management platform that allows your whole team to simply discover all of your inventory (including user-provided information). They care about their clients and offer excellent opportunity to learn from other customers, as well as excellent training videos and service.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
