PhotoShelter for Brands Pricing

Searchable tagged photos We are able to share photos quickly with internal and external partners Like being able to customize folders for particular job requests

The Libris connector really does not give our designers the easy access tools necessary for working with InDesign at a reasonable price. They are having to download the images first and use Adobe Bridge to connect. It also does not allow designers to drag and drop images when they just want to see how something might look in a quick and easy format unlike other programs.

The ease of use and organization. We are still in the midst of setting it up, but we hope this makes searching our photos so much easier and faster for our department, partners and contributors.

As a non-profit, the cost was an initial hurdle. We are hoping the time and server space makes up for it! The amount of tagger/admin seats are limiting for us, but other than that we love it.

Libris has an excellent permissions system. Each collect and gallery can be individually set to be accessible in a few different ways, and then each photo can be set to be expired or rejected.

There are three different user types: Invited, Contributors, and Library Staff. For our plan you get unlimited Invited users, which only have access to the front end portal and what you decide each user can see, which is fine. Contributors can only upload files--which is a a type we don't really use. Now the last type is called Library Staff and these users are the ones who really hold the power to edit, name, tag files, and set permissions. The problem is that you only get a small number of Library accounts and every additional seat needed is an exorbitant yearly cost on top of the plan cost

Super easy to upload photos from Lightroom, with keywords extracted automatically. I can control who gets which files by password or grouped user rights. I can instantly send emails to recipients with links and passwords. Even though it's cloud based it's pretty quick. Client can choose the size file they want to download.

Inability to search by "filename starts with". The search function is not intuitive in that there is only one box to search keywords and operators are required to try to refine searches. I'd like to be able to resize the visibility and access box. Users can strip the metadata when downloading.

Tagging and importing is easy. Setting permissions for groups is helpful and the interface is mostly intuitive and useful. Getting our archive in front of eyeballs is easier now.

Users are unable to bulk download images. We're a unique case use in which we own all of the images we upload to our account, but still users are unable to download more than one image at a time from a lightbox. Gallery sharing doesn't always work. No option to share outside of our user base without setting up an account for them. Resorting to using a third party service to share files. Price per TB of storage isn't in line with other cloud based providers, nor is there an option to use a third party cloud provider with the interface.

It is easy to use, and easy to customize functions. I can have galleries for public or private viewing, and easily customize who can see and download from each gallery. It is also easy to grant new users access to galleries.

The cost is higher than I would like, but it still seems to be the most comprehensive and easy to use of the photo management systems of this type.

The ease of use, the built in FTP and the ability to access anywhere. Being a cloud based system makes it easy for us to transmit, archive or access from anywhere.

I don't have any thing that I don't like about this product. The cost is high, but everything that comes packaged into the product proves that the robust design has been well thought out from the user interface to the admin interface. Libris is build for the professional on the move.

PhotoShelter does an amazing job of storing thousands of high resolution content files. Activity tracking and workflows aid in project management. The cloud storage solution is fast with efficient search and preview tools.

PhotoShelter does include some brand management tools but isn't robust enough to be considered a replacement for a true Product Information Manager. Naming conventions and solid standard operating procedures are important to properly upload, label, and tag files. Batch editing or searches without meticulous up front effort is near impossible.

Ability to create lots of galleries and collections to organize. I had years of image collection that I personally was keeping organized, but they were all over. I had a fresh opportunity to newly organize images into categories that make more sense, and get rid of duplicates that were taking up a lot of extra space. The ability to add my own metadata is great, though not sure we're going to be able to afford that option next year. I also like that I can give give full or limited access to team members. Sometimes people only need access to logos, or one area of the companies images. Nice to be able to control that.

Well it's always going to be cost. Especially with add-ons. But we had to bite the bullet and find a safe place for images that can be used and accessed with other co-workers.

This software enabled us to offload storage of media from aging on-prem servers, and eased the workflow for the users of that media.

I am not a fan of their per-user licensing model.

Libris is very easy to use. We use this for photo sharing and organizing, and compared to other products, this seems to be the best at allowing us to customize how we communicate with our clients.

The price is the only thing that would ever make us consider trying another product. With companies tightening their budgets, I could see how this would be a stumbling block for some.

The searchable database is a huge improvement over our previous solution of hosting photos within folders on a university server.

Would like more storage capacity for a cheaper price in order to store more GIF's, PSD files and videos.

Love the visual interface, the quickness, the intuitive layout. Super easy migration with a wide variety of upload methods. We were up and running in no time. Customer service team have been joy to work with and very responsive to questions and input for additional features. Quick and accessible sharing of photos makes collaboration very easy.

Expensive up front cost, adding storage adds extra cost. No notifications for folder actions or uploads at present, but I'm told they're coming.

PhotoShelter has helped us organize and share our photos for the first time in our organization's history.

There are a few quirks with the interface that I would like to see adjusted, but nothing that severely interferes with our workflow.

Ability to catalog all of our photos and searchable by key words.

Many clicks needed before you get to the library of photos. I do not like the landing page with ads for other software apps for Libris. Those apps should be included with the price of the subscription. You should not have to first view this landing page before going to the library.

The software is easy to use. The media/library organization is very efficient. Custom settings are very helpful in terms of allowing different kinds of customers to view images

Website customization is very limited. We sell globally but we are unable to receive payments into our bank account in India as yet. When we sell the same image to two different people, I am not able to customize the price. Sometimes, the price for an image changes based on who the customer is.

It's very cool organizing the data and arranging them in files, also working on them remotely.

It needs more consideration about the price plans as it is a little bit expensive.

Interface easy to use, but am sure that I only use about 10% of the possibilities. Excellent customer service

Could be faster for uploads. Quite expensive, especially for the video platforms. Should be able to tailor pricing according to services used.

The solution is easy to use, reliable, able to effectively manage our digital asset collection, offers great sharing capabilities and supports a wide range of file types.

The solution wasn't as polished as some alternatives at the time of review. However, the functionality, price and support model were right.

The photos are displayed super nicely on the website, it's easy to see what you're looking for and it works as a good tool to showcase our destination.

When the photos download, they are in an unusable file format (unsure what it is) that makes it hard for basic users or visitors to use without converting it to JPEG.

1) As a cloud solution it has done great in keeping digital format of files safe sound and encrypted 2) Pricing is worth every penny for the quality maintenance

1) Back end privileges need to increase and even though it works well automation on stuff is a suggestion that i would give

I think this software is ideal for organizing photos, it's very easy to use for all users and has many excellent options. I can also share other types of files like as documents or videos without size limit.

First, Its price is high and second, sometimes it can be a bit confusing for any users. Especially when they want to download files, I think it should be a little easier.

Powerful, robust, reliable, fast, flexible.

Takes time to learn features, sometimes UI seems a little dated.
