Considered Both Products
Image Relay
Chose Image Relay
The decision really seemed to come down to the interface, the value, and the approach to innovating how the assets were stored and accessed. It was important to us that our DAM has plenty of features and options while also not being over-designed or overcomplicated. It needed …
Chose Image Relay
The discovery process was by far the best with Image Relay. We did not have to waste time on several sales calls before they gave us a real demo and answered our specific questions. We got EVERYTHING we needed to know in the first meeting and that ultimately did help us make …
Chose Image Relay
Image Relay convinced us with an excellent pitch, a competitive price, and great support.
Chose Image Relay
I find Image Relay to be superior to all three platforms mentioned above. IR is faster, has a cleaner interface, has outstanding support, and is highly customizable. Image Relay just makes sense for us on every level. While there are other options, some free, nothing stacks up …
Chose Image Relay
I got a presentation from each and I felt the connection with Image Relay was better for me. Every need we had were covered by the Image Relay system. The presentation was really professional and we could feel that they knew what they were doing. Of course, the price was also a …
Chose Image Relay
We were using our in-house storage NAS system and Backup on DVD and hard drive. The issue is that we lost a lot of data by it either crashing or becoming unreadable. And it's very difficult to organize and share data. To share data we were using WeTransfer, but the issue is …
Chose Image Relay
Google Drive does not have the same capacity and functions that Image Relay has, so it is really no competition at all. I really enjoy all the functions that Image Relay has that other companies may not have considered.
Chose Image Relay
We compared Image Relay to a couple of other digital asset management systems and chose Image Relay based on a strong recommendation from the company that digitized thousands of our archived photos and documents. They noted that many of the features are similar product to …
Chose Image Relay
Image Relay's share function works similarly to these other products, which worked well enough for us. But Image Relay's share function makes the process of searching for, selecting, and sharing photos fast and seamless. There's also less need to clean out old files and photos. …
Chose Image Relay
Drive is good but the way to find and organize folders is less user-friendly. Sharepoint is not user-friendly at all. We Transfer is easy to share and download once but not as a permanent online library. I really think Image Relay is the best option to create a common space …
Chose Image Relay
We have always used dropbox or google drive and while they have served their purpose, they don't operate on the same level as Image Relay. The easy-to-use organization along with the ability to create your own APIs and do mass moves and uploads and distinct meta-tagging is key …
Chose Image Relay
We used Kwikee (which is now Syndigo I believe) for many years. Clunky interface and it was very slow to get new assets up. Image Relay was a very refreshing change!
Chose Image Relay
I have used several digital asset management systems in relation to archives work, and I think Image Relay is the most user-friendly and clean looking.
Chose Image Relay
I created a rubric to compare IR with Intelligence Bank and PhotoShelter. Some of the comparisons were close, but ultimately the intuitive user interface, price, and back-end programming (as analyzed by our web guy) helped us select Image Relay.
Chose Image Relay
Image Relay is much more user friendly. It is also much easier to upload files to Image Relay.
Chose Image Relay
Image Relay is much more user-friendly and easy to access. I struggled with Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft Teams because it is so much simpler in layout and structure. You do not need to hunt around forever to find what you're looking for. It is also more cost-effective …
Chose Image Relay
Canto Cumulus was the best competition. It did a few of the things mentioned earlier a little better. We had chosen Image Relay before finding Canto, and have not felt compelled strongly enough to switch. If we were starting over, we might start with Canto.
Nuxeo
Chose Nuxeo
Nuxeo gives tough competition to its alternative software. The flexibility Nuxeo provides is good enough to get adapted to a business, and it is somehow unmatchable. It works as DAM along with ECM, and Exo was not good enough compared to Nuxeo. Exo lacked the modern frameworks …
Chose Nuxeo
Nuxeo is far and away more flexible and mature for managing digital assets than the others. It was chosen as a platform that would allow us to work as we need to without starting from scratch and leverage reusable code modules and other best practices.
Chose Nuxeo
We were really looking for something that would be more flexible and customizable to meet the variety of business needs and use cases that we had in the Digital Asset Management space. Nuxeo offered the flexibility we were looking for.
Chose Nuxeo
Nuxeo was chosen for its support and its track record of assisting similar organizations in solving complex CMS needs. We are currently evaluating KeyCloak as a substitute for user and identity management.
Chose Nuxeo
It's easier to use. Provides pre-settings.
Chose Nuxeo
I’ve only used unique platforms that have been built for a specific system. Of course, Nuxeo is more generic, but you can customize it well per your business’s needs.
Chose Nuxeo
The UI, the support, the overall features, and other things. This tool is picture-perfect.
Chose Nuxeo
It is built on open-source technologies. A very small footprint is required to run it. It can be run in a cloud and utilize the power of cloud services, unlike other competitors.
Chose Nuxeo
Nuxeo stacks up very well against its alternatives. It has a very good UI, migration strategy from SharePoint and documentation skills. Content management real time helps a lot. It is an ECM with DAM. Only disadvantage is that it requires a lot of support from Nuxeo to use …

Likelihood to Recommend
Image Relay is perfect for a creative team that is putting out a lot of content and always creating more. It works great with freelancers and has customizable access for different groups of individuals. I have not seen the PIM side of things with Image Relay. Management chose a different system for our PIM but it was prior to learning about Image Relay. The system we have for PIM seemed more robust for syndicating to multiple channels, however, it does not have the collaboration a creative team needs as Image Relay does.

I like to describe Nuxeo as getting you 90% of the way to wherever you want to go, but 100% of the way to nowhere. This 10% allows flexibility to add your own custom business rules and operations. This is different than a complete off-the-shelf solution that provides 100% of a solution but does not give you the flexibility that you need. If you want a platform that can adjust to your needs, use Nuxeo. If you are looking for a turnkey solution that will get you off the ground 100 % of the way out of the gate, other options may be better for you.

Pros
  • Image Relay keeps things organized well
  • It's SO easy to create upload links and send them to people when you need materials from them. I love that you are emailed when someone uploads to a folder you created.
  • The support team is great at Image Relay too—I've rarely had any problems, but when I do or have questions they respond very quickly!

  • The platform has Lots of option to protect assets, review and share with the required people.
  • It provides a seamless transition from SharePoint which is extremely useful for our business as we have tons of data stored on SharePoint.
  • It is a powerful tool, especially for searching - since the indexing is super fast unlike other platforms.
Read full review
Cons
  • The AI tagging terms are too generic to really be helpful to us.
  • When we did our initial upload the system couldn't pull in old dates, so everything has a date of the day it was uploaded. It will be a while before searching by "most recent" works properly.

  • Public documentation - it has some + public forums, but we felt more is needed
  • Back-end management - the web UI is fancy, but it sometimes translates to some tough to understand implementations
  • Starting sequence of on-premise installations - Java gibberish in the logs; sifting is required to identify real issues from acceptable ones
  • No built-in monitoring and performance alerting

I believe once all of our staff see how efficient Image Relay is in managing our digital assets, there will be no question that the cost vs. value will mandate continued use moving forward. It literally will pay for itself in saved staff time, I believe.

Usability
I didn't have to be trained to figure out how to use it, everything is straight forward which is important when you have a lot of external-facing users on this platform. The folders help you navigate what you have but I also use the search feature a lot if I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

Nuxeo provides a
WebUI that they are always improving based on customer feedback. The interface is designed with flexibility in
mind - this means that it must be customized to the business's use case before
it can achieve its maximum usability.

The Nuxeo Studio
interface provides developers and administrators the building blocks to achieve
much of this customization - they just need to put the building blocks together
in ways that best meet the end users' needs.
The API and SDKs allow for more advanced customization.

Performance

To be very honest: as far as we have used it, we have found it to be one of the best tools. The document repository and the speed of searches are amazing. With it, we are able to enhance scalability, and the basic usage of it is in digital asset management, and it has been helpful in content management, too.

Amazing. We are having a quick call once a week to be sure we are right on track. They answer all our questions right away and if they are missing something they will just find the answer and get back to us as fast as possible. There is no need to look elsewhere!

Nuxeo support is very willing to help whenever there is an issue. We have a weekly touchbase with someone from the Nuxeo team that we discuss any development issues with, and there is an open line of communication between our team and the Nuxeo team. They have been supporting us phenomenally, every step of the way.

In-Person Training
No answers on this topic
I attended instructor-led trainings at a couple of points when I was first beginning to serve as project manager on Nuxeo projects. The first one that I attended was meant for business users and decision-makers. The second one was meant for system administrators. The first one provided a great introduction, through demos, of how Nuxeo could be adapted to very different business use cases. The second one, like many instructor-led trainings, was meant for users of a variety of skill levels, and so it could be a bit slow at times for students with a stronger technical background, but the instructor was able to include more advanced components as well.

Nuxeo University provides an ideal starting point for developers and system administrators who are new to the Nuxeo platform. So, in terms of online training for developers and administrators, the learning paths are definitely available. In terms of training for end users: keep in mind that Nuxeo is a foundation with building blocks - what you do with those building blocks is up to you and depends on your business's specific use cases. For this reason, end-user training is largely up to you because it will need to depend on how you've built and configured the system. That said, I've seen the companies that I've worked with configure the system based largely on end-user input, and so it has fit very closely with what those users wanted to do and how they wanted to do it. In cases where elements of the UI weren't fitting quite right with what users naturally wanted to do, based on their process flows, we've often found it easy enough to adapt the UI to the users, rather than using training to adapt the users to the UI.

The Image Relay team was very helpful in guiding us through the process. Excellent customer service and guidance.

I worked with a Nuxeo employee who helped design the initial architecture and implementation for our specific use case. It was helpful to have an individual who knew the system and how we could best utilize it. We have since made lots of adjustments, but the basic architecture is still in place.

Alternatives Considered
The decision really seemed to come down to the interface, the value, and the approach to innovating how the assets were stored and accessed. It was important to us that our DAM has plenty of features and options while also not being over-designed or overcomplicated. It needed to have a flow and logic to it so that we could do more while not being overwhelmed or lost in the product. In all of these areas, Image Relay really seemed to stand out among the rest.

Return on Investment
  • It is a huge time saver for our team
  • It enables us to quickly share information and files internally as well as with customers and vendors externally.
  • Being able to share files in real-time makes our decision process faster, more accurate, and far more effective.

  • It is an open source tool hence proves to be an excellent ROI. Content and document management are managed very well in the tool.
  • Security and role based features play a major role. Migration is a breeze. Hence it is a very positive impact.
  • Nuxeo has very rich feature set but its complex enough and so developers needs considerable time to ramp up on development on this platform .
