Consultant Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Time is money" January 5, 2025 5.0 Openasset saves you time when you gave several submittals your trying to get submitted at the same time. And in my field time is money. And one thing you can't get back is lost time. Pros Everything you would need in one place in terms of writing perposals or submitting job bids on previous completed jobs. Cons The fact that you have to manually delete the previous search or it compiles your next search in with the previous one. No major issues though. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Marketing Coordinator Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Can't manage thousands of photos without this!" September 7, 2025 4.0 I really like it. There's no way we'd be able to keep track of all of our images without it! It's quick and efficient Pros It really helps us to organize and find photos and other images/visuals for our thousands of projects. I find the AI search really helpful, because it helps find images that weren't tagged with certain keywords. I also really like that I can select images, and keep looking for more in other projects, but the ones I selected stay in my "cart", rather than reset each time I change projects. Cons Sometimes the plugin for InDesign has some issues, but they're nothing major. I also wish the searching was a little more intuitive. I have been using it for 6 months, and am still trying to get the searches just right. I don't love the resume builder portion. There seems to be some issue with the export, because sometimes we get duplicate information pulled into InDesign. I don't know if it's from OpenAsset, or it's connection with Deltek, but it's frustrating to not be able to rely on it to export correctly all the time. Review Source MB Michail B. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great app but needs a bit of optimization especially of the search function" September 28, 2024 3.0 Overall: Useful but lacks flexibility and speed Pros very user-friendly and a nice way to store data Cons Limited customization and slow performance Review Source JW Julie W. Senior Marketing Coordinator Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Could do with some minor improvements, but overall, solid and helpful software!" June 27, 2025 4.0 Very helpful. I cannot imagine trying to find images and photos in our massive collection without it! Pros It's great for finding photos and images (and even PDFs and videos!) when we have so many. The AI search feature seems to work fairly well, finding images that match what I'm looking for even if they're not actually tagged that way. I also like that I can select multiple items across multiple searches--it doesn't just reset every time I search something new. This is really helpful when trying to create a collection of images that I'll want to compare. Cons I really wish my search settings would save. I always want to see the newest/most recently uploaded images first, and instead I have to go and reset the filters every single time. Also, the drag-and-drop option isn't as smooth as I'd like. I have to make sure I hold my mouse button over it long enough, or it won't drag. And even then, sometimes I have issues, especially with InDesign. Review Source AT Andrea T. Team Leader, Marketing Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love OpenAsset" January 23, 2025 5.0 I have used OA for years at different firms. I use it almost every day and the ease of dragging and dropping images into InDesign is great!!! No more searching for images in folders on our marketing drive. This saves so much time and keeps everything organized. Pros OpenAsset is very easy to use and houses all my images in one place. I can also pull resumes from it. It keeps everything organized and in one place. Cons There is nothing I can think of that I don't like about OA. Review Source YJ YOJNA J. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast and user-friendly" April 28, 2025 4.0 Pros What I like best about Open Asset is how simple it is to manage and make our visual assets accessible. Since BDP oversees a wide range of projects across several industries, having a centralised, user-friendly platform makes it quick and easy for us to locate and distribute the right images. It saves us time and ensures that we always highlight our work with the best, most current images, which is especially useful when making bid documents and marketing materials. Cons One issue I've noticed with Open Asset is that its search feature sometimes feels a little limited. Although it works well for simple searches, more advanced filtering options would be helpful, particularly when working with a large number of assets across multiple projects. Furthermore, when the tagging system is unable to fully capture the context of an asset, it can be a little more difficult to find exactly what I'm looking for. Review Source NC Neil C. Landscape Technician Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OpenAsset – Game Changing Digital Asset Management" January 7, 2025 5.0 Overall our experience with OpenAsset has been great, from our initial inquiry and demonstration, through onboarding and to general use, we were helped through the whole process by the OpenAsset team. As already mentioned OpenAsset has transformed the way we work and has been 100% worth the investment. Pros OpenAsset is fantastic, it is the software solution we were looking for and has transformed the way we work with our digital assets. We are now able to access our image library from anywhere, which is fully tagged and searchable, saving time and giving the results we need. One of the best features is the integration with InDesign for drag and drop images and the creation of project sheets and CV's from templates. It really is an all-in-one content management system. Cons All the fantastic features that come with OpenAsset does mean that it come at a cost, this could put some people off, but now we are on board, we couldn't image working without it.

I haven't had any major issues after a week using it. Pros Simplicity and flexibility so far. I'm a new user who appreciates the options for fields and plugins for various software. We're still in the midst of getting our data in there, but for the data that's already there, it's already saving us time on our processes. You know you're working with a good software team when you see that you can click the "copy" button to copy a bit of text OR select a portion of that text and copy that manually. Having options like that means a lot. Cons Sometimes I forget that the search bar up top searches all data by default and that I have to click on "Projects" and use a separate search bar to search for the project I want. Review Source AF Aamir F. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Open asset - One stop solution" May 13, 2025 5.0 OpenAsset provides us a centralized, project-based system where everything is properly tagged and searchable for all the projects done by BDP.It saves a lot of time and effort in searching images and information related to the projects. Pros Open asset is very helpful and efficient in searching Database of all the employees with their work experience, Projects worked on etc by BDP worldwide.It provides Proper highlighted documents and images for fair use which can be used in making presentation or reports. Cons Open asset interface should be more user-friendly for a new user to familiarize themselves quickly. Review Source NSM Ngwanagae Sabina M.

Review Source MH Megan H. Senior Interior Designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great program" December 26, 2024 4.0 I have used OpenAsset since 2017 and find it to be a great resource for storing and accessing internal media. Pros OpenAsset is a great way to access company photos without filling up your server. The cloud based program allows access from anywhere. I love that you can categorize by project, but tag by topic for quick searching. The amount of information attached to each upload is helpful so different disciplines can utilize the same images without having to duplicate storage efforts for easy reference. Cons The search engine has some quirks and can require a little extra effort to learn. Review Source JH Jean H. Graphic Designer Civil Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing and powerful system" November 21, 2024 5.0 The system is so easy and simple to use. I love being able to quickly search and file assets into various folders. Searchability and functionality is high. It's very easy to use and any designer can quickly implement this into their day to day use. Pros This has been a game changer for using creative assets among various offices and multiple designers. OpenAsset is so simple to use and works seamlessly in InDesign and Illustrator. I use this every day and it makes searching for assets so easy. Cannot recommend it enough, I do not know how I have gone so long without having it my design toolbox. Cons I do not see any downsides, it has been such a dream. Review Source NN Nick N. Senior Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OpenAsset is a true game changer!" July 24, 2023 5.0 My experience with OpenAsset has been outstanding. From the moment we implemented it, it streamlined our processes, increased efficiency, and maintained top-notch quality control. Communication vastly improved within our marketing department, and now it seamlessly extends to our collaborations with operations. It's been a game-changer for our entire organization. Pros I absolutely love OpenAsset for its efficient, high-quality control, and version control features. It streamlines our workflow, ensured top-notch assets, and made collaboration a breeze. Highly recommend! Cons can confidently say there isn't a single thing I don't like about OpenAsset. It's a powerful and impressive asset management tool. Reason for choosing OpenAsset We chose OpenAsset without hesitation because of our team members' previous positive experiences with it at other firms. With a track record of success and no need to explore alternatives, it was an easy decision. Highly reliable and efficient! Review Source CB Craig B. Director of Business Development Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No more searching for the right image" July 14, 2023 5.0 Couldn't be happier, if you are considering OA, go with the cloud version the ease of viewing images and downloading them quickly has been an incredibly helpful. Pros Allowing user to quickly find the images they need vs spending hours digging through folders in the server. Cons Set up did take a while but considering I was entering ten years of images it probably wasn't that bad Review Source JR Juliana R. Marketing Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy integration of our image library into design software" May 23, 2023 5.0 Pros OpenAsset has provided us with the ability to host our library of images online, reducing the amount of data stored in our drives and making it very easy to access images from anywhere in the world. The integration to powerpoint and InDesign expedite the way we design and reduce the file size of what we work on, therefore speeding up the process. Cons OpenAsset often has small glitches. Some images might get corrupted and we have to keep a backup on our drive in case we need to upload them again. Another example is images sometimes translate to InDesign or PPT upside down or distorted but this is an easy fix we live with. Review Source SM Sam M. Strategic Development Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product, excellent customer service and experience! " May 12, 2023 5.0 OpenAsset is an incredible product and the company hires incredible people who will work with you throughout the process. So grateful for the level of customer service and care! Pros I love that we can store our digital assets in one place. It helps to breakdown the information silos in our company so we can cross-function efficiently. Cons The few issues that we have come across were minor and the OpenAsset team worked with us to find a compromise or present a solution. Review Source KK Keith K. Vice President Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OpenAsset Review" June 24, 2019 4.0 Amazing product. It saves countless hours of time each and every week we have it. The Axomic team is great--they listen, they help, and they truly want the product to help our business be successful. Pros How easy it is to connect OpenAsset to existing systems currently in place. It instantly adds value in that the moment we upload a new file, the system is porting over data from our Deltek Vision system making it easy and quickly usable. Cons Certain functionalities have to be used in certain ways--that is, for instance, you can only drag and drop files into InDesign from the grid view, but say I'm previewing in full-screen; I can't just drag that active file right into InDesign from there. Some features seem to be layered in as opposed to integrated in a central way. Lastly, I think the limitation of the system which could vastly improve it is to break free from strict things like search terms, and instead allow for more open-ended search features that are smart and intuitive rather than restrictive. Review Source Response from Axomic June 25, 2019 Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience with OpenAsset, Keith. This is great for us to hear and we appreciate the feedback. KV Kelsey V. Marketing Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No more broken links!" August 23, 2023 5.0 Pros OpenAsset has been a great tool to centralize our project photography, employee photography, and brand assets. The ability to easily upload, label, and then subsequently search has been a game changer. Also--the Indesign plugin is A+. Gone are the days of all those broken links! Cons Overall, we've had a great experience. The one area I would love to see is a more user-directed template for creating project pages/resumes. Having that flexibility to create something on demand as opposed to working through OA would be awesome. Review Source EF Emily F. Marketing Manger Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to organize " May 12, 2023 5.0 Pros I like how easy it is to find photos, it is easy to find folders. Cons The tagging can be confusing but I am getting used to it! Switched from [Progress ShareFile](https://www.capterra.com/p/10007380/ShareFile/) Images were taking too long to load Review Source CR Cynthia R. CIO Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love OpenAsset" July 1, 2019 5.0 Our staff has only good things to say about their experiences with OA. IT doesn't get very many help desk tickets Pros There are a lot we (responses from staff) like most about this software. The features are always being added, the software is easy to use the support is A+ and it integrates with other products. Cons The add'l cost for storage as it wasn't explained that I would have this so it wasn't budgeted.

Project Development Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OA for work resource" March 26, 2019 5.0 Marketing has benefited from OA. All of our install photos are stored here and they can be used in a number of ways for marketing. Pros The capacity and function. You can create PPT or PDF documents, label your photos, save PDF documents, and much much more. It responds quickly so you can create something fast when you need it like a PPT or document to send to your client. You can also just download photos to put into email and you can also save files in various sizes and formats for multiple presentation options. You can also choose a photo and that will prompt other photos similar to what you are looking at so there are multiple ways that you can search and produce a carousel of photos. Excellent for companies that need marketing resources where all employees can access individually. Very user friendly. Cons Nothing that I can think of at this time. Review Source Response from Axomic May 7, 2019 Thank you for taking the time to review OpenAsset, Erica. We appreciate your great feedback. EM Ezekiel M.

Director of Design Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Director of Design" March 26, 2019 5.0 Overall everything has been great, they are quick to respond and answer questions and constantly offer web trainings. Pros We link all of the images with our vision data file, this makes it easy to know everything about the project that the image is tied to. Cons There have been some recent changes to the layout, I preferred the buttons to access information prior to the change Review Source JR Jose R.
