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 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. 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 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 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.

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 JD Justin D. Senior Marketing Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OpenAsset Makes My Life Easier" November 4, 2024 5.0 Pros I have worked in AEC marketing for nearly 15 years. Until about four months ago, I did so without a DAM tool. I was always so jealous of my peers at other firms who had OpenAsset, and when we decided to solicit DAM providers, I knew I wanted to be involved. Throughout the selection process, OpenAsset made their understanding of our unique industry very clear. They answered questions so well and gave us relevant examples. Additionally, they provided a number of references for similar firms that we were able to speak with. The implementation team was great, and made the process as easy as it could be. While there was a lot of work on our end, they made navigating the process feel achievable and kept us on track. They were, and continue to be, very accessible and ready to find solutions. Now that our implementation is complete, OpenAsset's customer support continues to be great. They are truly passionate about their product and continuing to make it better. While it's a great product, it's really the people behind it that make it sing. I use OpenAsset almost constantly now, and my efficiency is so much better. I'm not struggling to find photos, and it's so customizable for each user with albums, rankings, and more. It's also made sharing images with other stakeholders so much easier. Cons I wish OpenAsset had more AI capabilities, but I know they're working on that. Also, it would be nice to have a bit more of a true solution for video that isn't as costly, as we continue to have more video assets. 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 AS Ashley S. Marketing Coordinator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OpenAsset, A great tool for AEC!" September 4, 2024 5.0 OpenAsset has been a great tool for completing my daily tasks. It has helped reduce time in finding project photos for my team's marketing collateral. The site has also become a great resource for project information. Pros The simplicity of finding project photos and overall organization. Cons I personally have not experienced any negative attributes of OpenAsset. Review Source PG Paul G. Marketing Coordinator Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great service" May 21, 2024 5.0 Pros I love that I can have all my work files in one place on OppenAsset. It's very easy to use and easily integrates into my everyday work life. I use it every day because it fast and simple to navigate. Cons The only real issue I have is that I have to close out my searches after every one. But even that isn't that big of a hurdle, I just have to make sure I zero out my searches every time. Review Source LG Lily G. Marketing Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OA has been life changing! " March 25, 2019 4.0 Overall we love using OA. It has much room for improvement but even so it is a great tool for both marketing purposes and the overall firm. The customer service is truly fantastic and we really appreciate the OA team's willingness to listen and help us at all times. Pros OA has been a great asset to us for connecting our image library across our offices globally. The sync to Deltek Vision is wonderful as it is a great way to look up project information without having to go through the slow and dated interface of Deltek. We love that you can upload different file types, have a variety of user settings, different categories, etc. The PDF, contact sheet generation and INDD plug-in features are extremely convenient and useful. We haven't gotten around to utilizing uploading our standard INDD templates for project page and resume generation yet but we are looking foward to doing so. Cons I think the user interface has come a long way but I think there is still a lot of room for improvement. I don't think that all of the settings and features are intuitive to find; for example, the image tagging keywords aren't obvious to locate and that has been a bit of an issue as we roll out OA to firmwide employees who don't know what the keywords to search by are vs. marketing who does know because we chose and implemented them. I think the mapping feature is good but it would be better if it could auto link that from Deltek as well to avoid manual input into OA.

Marketing Art Director Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An essential member of our Marketing Team" July 18, 2023 5.0 We consider OpenAsset to be a member of our Marketing Team. Searching, drag & drop, album creating, web-sharing, file conversion -- have all made our team 200% more efficient. Pros The cloud-based database is a game changer for our company, especially with so many employees working remotely. Cons The interface and searching features are a bit intimidating for less-tech-savvy users. They require a bit of training to get the hang of it. Review Source LM Leonela M. Operations Coordinator Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OpenAsset is a vital tool for our team" January 3, 2024 5.0 We have thousands of photos of our properties. OpenAsset has given us the tools to create a robust catalog that is easily appealing. Before, OpenAsset we stored our photography on a PC shared drive and it was a nightmare trying to locate the files you needed. OpenAsset has completely removed this hurdle for us. It has also allowed us to streamline how we share photography with our leasing agents and broker teams. Pros It's easy to keep a catalog of our photography. Our employees like the convenience of having a one-stop shop for all our assets. I like the new tagging feature - it does a great job of accurately predicting the necessary tags for a photo, which has saved me a ton of time. I also really like the new homepage. Lastly, our customer success manager \[sensitive content hidden\] is wonderful! He's super helpful and always ensures we have the latest info about the platform. Cons As an admin, I find the settings page clunky and difficult to navigate at times. I also wish you could copy and paste the settings of one group to another. Review Source NS Nick S. Graphic Designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Marketing Made Easy" April 2, 2024 5.0 Pros Seeing all of our projects in a visual format makes finding what you need easy. The integration into InDesign makes short work of creating proposals as well. Cons None. The system works exactly as it was described to us. Review Source JK Jeanette K. Marketing Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OpenAsset is a Game Changer" May 16, 2023 5.0 We have loved using this platform. All our digital assets are available and searchable. It is very helpful in our business. Pros OpenAsset has helped us empower our internal staff to search and create their own marketing packages. Cons We find it difficult to manage and audit our files regularly. We do not have the internal capacity to stay on top of it. 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. Review Source Response from Axomic July 9, 2019 Thank you for taking the time to review OpenAsset, Cynthia. We are pleased to hear such great feedback from you and your team. eL erica L. 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. MH Molly H. Senior Marketing Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool for marketing professionals." March 22, 2019 4.0 Sharing images/project experience has become much easier. The ability to tag content to enable a better search has helped tremendously. Pros The ability to share content instantaneously across a large company is crucial to the success of our marketing team. Open Asset is the perfect solution to this challenge. Cons I feel that the current platform is limited to only sharing images/video currently. We have the growing need to have a solution to share other marketing content (presentations, written proposal narratives, client quotes, etc.). I see the potential of the tool and have a great experience working with the Open Asset team to solve our needs. Review Source Response from Axomic March 26, 2019 Thank you for your review of OpenAsset, Molly. We appreciate you taking the time to feedback to us. CS Cody S. Architectural designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Open Asset - Image Database Solution" October 30, 2019 4.0 Open Asset is great for use with filing project photos for later use in marketing materials, proposal, and precedent imagery that’s searchable Pros With open asset you can build a database of images and file and structure it however is best for your workflow. Assigning tags to pictures lets you search through images by description which is a terrific capability for anyone working with images a lot. Saving the same image at different file sizes and resolution that can be linked to many other programs is also a huge time saver. Cons Open asset can feel like a clunky database while searching and filing images. The amount of capabilities it has makes it more complicated to use if you’re looking for a simple photo library. Review Source Chris W. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OpenAssent provides order" March 12, 2020 5.0 Great for sharing project images and documents easily with a large group of people who can reuse and reference those quickly via search instead of slogging through your company's archaic nested folder structure on your local server Pros It is an online, use-created database tool that can help share content more easily and transparently in a large firm. Easy to setup and organize images, documents, resources. Great search functionality and ability to use asset links in other applications Cons Can be a lot to setup and maintainenance, like any library or digital repository. Because you can have many authors uploading content, it can be a lot of work to enforce company standards. Review Source CD Courtney D.
