Marketing Coordinator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential for the built environment" January 15, 2024 5.0 It's an essential tool for marketing particularly when working with a large quantity of imagery that often gets updated. Pros Ease of use, integration with Adobe suite Cons Lack of homepage customisation and some video compressing even when raw export Review Source 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 AK Alexander K. Graphic designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Intuative image database tool that leads the field with great customer service and regular updates. " July 1, 2019 4.0 I use Open Asset daily to weekly for my job. Again I have seen improvements in the 3 or so years we have been using it, they come often and only strengthen the product. Im excited to see more recognition technology being implemented that will help in tracking down similar images and more. Pros The customer service and upgrades are a great part of the Open Asset system. You can customize to your hearts desire with a steady stream of new features always on the horizon that improve things and get you excited about what's coming next. The cross platform functionality with the Adobe suite is also a lovely touch. Cons Most of my concerns have been addressed by the Open Asset team and are already in development for future editions. Things like being able to upload and store power point presentations. Review Source Response from Axomic July 9, 2019 Thank you for taking the time to review OpenAsset, Alexander. This is great feedback and we're pleased to hear how much you and your team enjoy using OpenAsset. VR Verified Reviewer Database Administrator Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Dam Software I've seen" March 26, 2019 4.0 We had an archaic image database that didn't allow anyone but marketing to be able to pull down any image size but thumbnails. Now anyone in the firm can get images and be able to use them in Word, PowerPoint, or InDesign without losing resolution and turn out a great product. In a pinch a project manager can create a PowerPoint presentation of project images without waiting for marketing to help them. Pros The ease of the migration of our images and the great customer service was awesome. They are continually updating/upgrading the product to be more intuitive, helpful, and keep up with the technology market. For instance, AI, they've built into the product intuitive searching for similar images. Fantastic feature! Cons A couple of the admin features takes a little longer to navigate when you have a large group of users. Have requested a couple of enhancements which they are looking at. Review Source Response from Axomic March 27, 2019 Thank you for your review, this is great to hear! KB Katherine B. Senior Associate Videographer & Photographer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Watching OpenAsset Develop" March 22, 2019 4.0 OpenAsset's user interface has gotten better since we started on the server-based software a few years ago, but it is still not entirely intuitive and our staff remains frustrated with it as they are not regular enough users for navigating the site to stick in their minds. The support page is helpful but it does not explain every function and feature. Pros I love that I can store an unlimited number of images on the cloud and share them anywhere with my company. Cons I like least that 1. Albums default to private and 2. You cannot select the file type of an image when you download it at a size other than Original Review Source Response from Axomic March 26, 2019 Thank you for your review, Katherine. It's really helpful for us to get your feedback. We are continually working on user interface improvements but it's always great to get more information.

Marketing Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must have for marketing teams" July 8, 2019 5.0 The customer support at OpenAsset has been exceptional. They have worked with us every step of the way to meet our specific needs. They keep adding new features that make the software even more useful. Pros OpenAsset solved our issue of making project photography easily searchable and accessible by all of our staff across four offices. The InDesign plugin was especially helpful for our marketing team productivity. Cons It took us many months to get the software customized to our liking and uploaded with content. Training for users is a must because OpenAsset has so much depth to it that even seasoned users might not be aware of all the features available. Review Source Response from Axomic July 9, 2019 Thank you for taking the time to review OpenAsset, Monica. We're pleased to hear how helpful it is for the marketing team at Taylor Design and we appreciate the feedback. 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. KH Katharine H. Bid Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Couldn't recommend it enough" March 20, 2019 5.0 Customer service is second to none. Everyone I have encountered at OpenAsset has been brilliant. Pros There is no comparable software for image use that I am aware of - it is a great product for our industry, and used throughout our business. It is incredibly user friendly (compared to some document management systems, for instance) and functionality is great. Cons From our experience, some of the "improvements" in the last few years have actually hindered functionality for the way we work. Might consider more user-testing or research before implementation? Review Source Response from Axomic March 26, 2019 Thank you for your review, Katharine. This is fantastic for us to hear. KS Kristine S. Senior Graphic Designer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A place for everything... and everything in its place." March 20, 2019 5.0 Our company takes advantage of the OpenAsset / Vision connector. The API data is then used by our website CMS. It eliminates a lot of duplication of work which is appreciated by our small team. Pros I love how the file size structure eliminates the need for multiple copies of images on our server. The sizes we need (even custom sizes defined by us) are all in one place and can be generate on the fly. Cons A few features that we would like to have are only available in the Cloud version... we use the on-premises version. Review Source Response from Axomic March 26, 2019 Thank you for your review, Kristine. It's great to hear your feedback on how OpenAsset is helping at Magnusson Klemencic Associates. NC Nick C. Photographer / Videographer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Made for the accessibility of information" March 19, 2019 5.0 Providing all employees on an international basis a platform to find project info and images is essential for BDP's day to day working. Customer support has always been fast, personal and helpful. Pros OpenAsset provides BDP with a platform for all employees to access, whether images, PDFs or project information. Easy to manage and for employees to find their way around. Cons Not a lot of negatives to find, but if any issues arise, customer support has always been prompt and helpful. Review Source Response from Axomic March 25, 2019 Thanks for the review, Nick! We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience with OpenAsset, this type of feedback is always great to hear. 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. 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. 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. FA Fil A. Marketing & Business Development Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must if you have large quantities of media assets" July 8, 2019 5.0 Pros The ability to store all of our media assets in the cloud and have it infinitely searchable and accessible by all is so powerful and valuable. 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 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 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. 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 GH Geof H. Director of Marketing Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OpenAsset" March 22, 2019 5.0 OpenAsset in an integral part of the Marketing / Business Development workflow for AEC firms. Pros OpenAsset gives anyone the ability to work with thousands of images quickly and from virtually anywhere. Cons Asset key-wording can be tricky to get it right for future searches. Review Source Response from Axomic March 26, 2019 Thank you for review Geof, we appreciate you taking the time to feedback! 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. JD Jennica D. Marketing Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Works for me" March 26, 2019 5.0 I can quickly find and use photos from all of our projects and incorporate them into my indesign documents. Pros The ability to drag and drop into InDesign. Cons Sometimes it seems a little laggy but this may be due to our server. Review Source Response from Axomic April 3, 2019 Thank you for your review of OpenAsset, Jennica. CD Courtney D. Communications & Public Relations Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OpenAsset" March 19, 2019 4.0 Pros Capacity, organization features, download/export options Cons kinks with the InDesign plugin, process to update categories Review Source Response from Axomic March 26, 2019 Thank you for your review, Courtney. JH Jeff H. Proposal Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great digital asset management" April 3, 2024 5.0 Excellent. OpenAsset is doing what I used to do manually, but on steroids Pros Ease of use and implementation. Indexing and search are complete and usable Cons User interface could use some upgrading and modernization Review Source panashe B. IT Specialist Human Resources Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "User" October 30, 2023 5.0 Pros OpenAsset streamlines our digital asset management with intuitive organization and easy sharing, boosting our workflow efficiency. Cons OpenAsset's pricing can be a concern for smaller teams, and it may lack some advanced features found in pricier alternatives, requiring consideration for budget-conscious users with specific needs. Review Source JI Jeanine I. Corporate Marketing Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for our team!" March 19, 2019 5.0 Pros OpenAsset makes it easy for our marketing team to access files organization-wide. Our employees are scattered throughout the US, Canada, UK and Ireland. Cons Some of the editing features like adding keywords are codes to photos and projects can be tricky if you aren't paying close attention to select or deselect multiple files. Review Source Response from Axomic March 26, 2019 Thank you for your review, Jeanine. We appreciate the feedback. Jennifer P. Marketing Communications Coordinator Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's Fine" September 17, 2020 3.0 Pros Is specifically designed to work with AEC companies Cons Not user intuitive ( a lot of our users had difficulties with it), and a lot of the features to enhance the use came at an added cost.
