What differentiates PhotoShelter for Brands from other similar products?

I've only used a couple other DAM systems, this one is so perfect for images though!! As part of the photo team at my university we are able to organize images very easily, and then manage access for each folder. Since we work with so many clients it's so helpful to be able to have those capabilities. The AI implementations of facial recognition and AI search are so helpful for our designers in finding specific assets.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love the organization capabilities of this product. It's clear and simple, and easy to use

What do you dislike most about this product?

I feel like the messaging box, when sending permissions to clients, can be pretty buggy.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is an industry standard product that will help everyone on your team with their workflow.
