As an Instructional Designer,CI-HUB saves my time and effort on switching between various digital assets services providers applications to search, find, and use a specific picture. I use the CI-HUB add-on in PowerPoint to insert images into my presentation slides from Adobe Stock images. Also, I use the CI-HUB Connector of Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive, and Google Drive.
CI-HUB is an easy-to-use add-on that integrates with commonly used business applications. It connects all the user's digital assets services from various service providers. It allows users to search, select, and insert their digital assets directly into many applications they might be working on, like PowerPoint.
Although the Ci-Hub comes with a free plan, it would be better if the paid plans were cheaper to allow users to benefit from the full features at a more affordable price.
Thanks a lot. Andy

The software is super easy to integrate but the features and usability are the best part. It is very simple to add, delete and search for content. Everything is easily categorized and doesn't take a lot to figure out where to find information.
With any new product it takes a while to learn how to use it across teams, customer services was very helpful, I wish we had a bit more of available docs to help continuous onboarding

Overall experience with CI HUB Connector is very easily manage the content and solve the problem
CI HUB Connector is very easily to use and managed the content. User friendly and interface is easy
While using the CI HUB Connector i feel very low and i found some bugs in the UI
Hello Chandan, thanks a lot for your review. It is amazing. If you like let me know the UI Bugs and if you like I am happy to investigate why it feels slow. Send me an email to support@ci-hub.com. Andreas

When working a design comp, you never have to leave Adobe to search for assets. That eliminates a lot of time looking for assets, copying and pasting them over into your links folder, or manually downloading them from your DAM and loading into your Adobe file.
By default CI HUB sorts from oldest upload to newest upload. I haven't found a setting in the interface to flip this order yet, but I'm sure it's there!

Great! just love it.
Once staff were upskilled it is highly functional and delivers on our needs. I have 4 staff all using a network sharedrive that is mapped tothe same cihub folder which makes it even more functional for an inhouse team.
Haven't encountered anything that we don't like yet. If anything it is the speed of thumbnailing but i cant solely blame cihub for that.

Team was very easy to work with and product has performed well.
This software was also customized to work with an in-house solution. Turn around was quick and accurate and very cost effective without building from scratch. Software updates itself so very little maintenance required.
Future update or SDK should allow end users to build connections to back-end systems.

Overall experience is great, It saves me so much time! Easy to install and use the product and complete tasks, the filter and search make life much easier.
Easy to drag and drop the assets into the adobe application. The filters and search options make life much easier.
The preview of the digital assets is smaller and it will be great to have a bigger preview of the assets.

it is nice for creatives to be able to locate assets in the tool they are working on- less context shifting.
the search is slow, the functions are not universal for all programs, not easy to use.
Hello Kris, I am sad to hear your feedback. And even more that you are not happy. If you like, I would love to talk to you to understand this and learn how we can improve fully. We are working on a lot of new features and improvements. So if you like, let me know, and I like to listen. It would be vital for me.

Overall, we love this product and use it all the time. Much better than a external drive with assets located in all different locations. It saves us a lot of time in our design process.
The customer service is awesome. The customization of the hub is great and being able to share links to specific assets and keeping other assets hidden really keeps things clean and smooth in our business. Also, great organization tool and keeps all our digital assets in one place and easy to access with the search tool.
The Adobe connector is not great. It's clunky and busy and hard to use the tool in it to find an asset and place into Adobe. It doesn't seem to link the assets to the DAM but instead saves that asset to the individual's computer which makes sharing InDesign documents harder.

Its good to make all the people on same platform.
A common pool tool to used art all over the world.
When file open on another system we need to relink all the asset. It makes work low.

It is only useful if you dont have more that one category field
Easy to integrate, and mirroring the image bank quite good.
Its not possible to narrow the seach limit with multiple categories. It only doubles the search, which is the opposite of the initially image bank, which the data is gather from.
Hello Camilla, thanks for the review. I love it as i can help you to work better. So send me an email at support@ci-hub.com and we solve your issue. It is an issue with your provider. Let me help. Andy

It is impressive how easy to install and use the product. The drag and drop functionality with pictures and content is really gerat and I never loose the control to use the right picture and content. Place psd or eps files in a ppt slide is the best timesaver in Microsoft 365.
I use CI HUB in Adobe and Microsoft applications. It is the best time saver application what I ever used before.
There are no cons so fare. Would love to have the tool also in frame.io and Shopify

Amazing customer service.
My team's been using CIHub for a year and we love how easy it is to link to our DAM.
Updates are not really clear and may take a bit to get use to using.

It's worked as advertised and as expected - there are some issues that arise, but to be honest - I'm not sure if it is the connection internally or between CI Hub and Brandfolder and the transitions that happen within. That said - I wouldn't NOT recommend it as the ability to not leave the program and know things are being processed it a valuable asset.
The ability to process packaged files on a click is fantastic.
Once packaged and uploaded the process seems to be hit and miss when it comes to updating or revising.

It was actually easy to use. I didn't expect that I would be able to use directly without learning it. But it was quite simple.
I would love to have more features for content management. I think you guys miss a good dashboard where I can just view everything at once. And more features for web services. But over all it's been goos to use. If you add these features, then nothing like it.
Amazing feedback. Thanks !!!! We will work on it. Andy

Not too bad. Just getting used to the new feature.
The quickness of the downloads, the small tab it sits in on my adobe programs. I also like that you can make the thumbnails larger/smaller.
The filters. Kind of hard to find images
Hello B Dylan, i am really happy you wrote the review! I would be very pleased to help you with the filters. Send me an email to support@ci-hub.com. I will do everything to make it a 5* expiriance.

I really love using CI Hub for asset management. Easy to use and love the indesign plugin.
The indesign plugin went in and out quite a bit

There is something to be said for ease of use. It's fairly intuitive, even for less technical members on my team.
I feel like there is a lot of extra steps (clicking) that are in, and it slows the process down slightly, but not enough to discourage use. Still easier than most.

Using it to locate product images stored online in Brandfolder. Ci-Hub is the plugin for Indesign which we use daily to create marketing pieces.
It connects to Brandfolder (DSM) which stores all our product images and marketing logos.
Stores my linked images offline (on my computer), can't share layout files easily with others because of that. The user would have to relink all the images using CI-HUB and then that file has to be relinked again by me if I have to work on it.

Easy to use!
finding assets and linking them, and sharing this=e document with a team.
Microsoft Word articles that included logos and images must be dealt with seperately, so that those assets can be separated before use.
