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 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 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 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 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 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 lT liz T. Marketing Environmental Graphics Lead Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OpenAsset is the best digital asset management tool around." November 3, 2023 5.0 Really happy with OpenAsset, but would love to learn how we could use it better. Pros Being able to keep our digital assets / images in the one place. InDesign integration is the most useful to me, it has been a game changer. Also for Microsoft apps too. Cons I think some budget friendly template options would be good. Perhaps have different levels of Indesign template creation options as I feel the cost is quite high at the moment, so we're having problems getting the cost approved in our company. 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 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. 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. BE Beth E.

Pros This product was easy to use and integrate into our regular routines. It is really nice to be able to access our digital assets from anywhere with internet available and not have to be on our network. Cons I have not been able to see how/if this integrates with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator Review Source RM RACHEL M. DIRECTOR OF MARKETING Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Efficiency + Organization" March 19, 2019 4.0 With 12 offices, we had imagery all over the place in servers and hard drives. OA has allowed us to pull our entire company catalog into one place for everyone to have immediate access to. The training and customer service has been fantastic and it's really been a game changer for our marketing staff. Pros Having all our catalog of imagery at our fingertips is a huge efficiency. The connection to Deltek Vision is also amazing to have all the information in one software program. The tagging is a fantastic feature and there are so many more things the software does that we haven't even implemented. Cons Not a huge fan of the process of drag and drop into Indesign. Seems like there can be a better way of doing it but that's not a major issue. I also wish that it talked to Vision in addition to receiving information from Vision. Review Source Response from Axomic March 26, 2019 Thank you for your review, Rachel. This is great feedback for the team. FA Fil A.

The ability to link directly into InDesign has completely changed our workflow. Cons We would love more media types to be cataloged (.indd, .aep, etc) and have been having issues with vector files and downloads. Review Source SD Sarah D. Marketing Coordinator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Customer Service" March 20, 2019 5.0 I appreciate the continued support from our account manager. She is knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to brainstorm solutions that work best with our firm. Pros The ranking and tagging capabilities, the album creation, contact sheet feature, and the ability to send external download links. Cons Not able to drag and drop images into other Adobe programs (Photoshop, for example). OpenAsset plugin only available for InDesign. Review Source Response from Axomic March 26, 2019 Thank you for taking the time to review OpenAsset, Sarah. We really appreciate you taking the time to feedback to us. AW Adam W. Prinicpal Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential Tool for an A/E Firm" June 24, 2019 4.0 Pros Ability to store massive amounts of files on an enterprise network. Deltek connector is essential. Cons Supported formats could show a better understanding of digital assets relative to the A/E profession. Support for textures, scripts, BIM families, and other file formats would make this an even more valuable tool for the company. Right now it is primarily a marketing tool when it could service a much wider usergroup. Review Source Response from Axomic June 25, 2019 Thank you for taking the time to feedback and review OpenAsset, Adam. We're currently looking into growing the types of file formats supported in our platform as we appreciate this is something our users would find valuable. We're hoping to have some updates implemented this year.
