CI HUB Connector Reviews

When I am using adobe products I really know how simple it is to link and relink my assets, credit goes to CI HUB CONNECTOR. It has consider accelerator my workflow and made the design process simpler.

This app has terrible user interface and design that is something needs to improved.

Hello Meet, Thanks a lot! Any feedback is valuable. And we are working with the external UI Team to go from an expert tool to an easy user tool. Stay tuned.

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

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.

really helps our clients push/pull assets with Adobe CC and their DAM, ease of install, search, and covers many CC applications.

stores a copy of the digital asset on users local machine. Rather just push/pull straight from the DAM

What I like most is that it's user-friendly and easy to use.

There is nothing I liked least about this software.

CI HUB is what lets my company integrate our chosen digital asset management tool into the creative apps we use. I can access Brandfolder assets from directly within Adobe apps and even PowerPoint. I can drag assets from the CI HUB panel into my document. This downloads the asset into a preset local drive folder in order to let me use it, and yet in my document, it remains linked to the cloud asset even after I hand off the file to another designer. This is a great advantage!

There needs to be a sorting feature, where I can sort my asset search results or asset section/folder contents by relevancy, date modified, date uploaded, etc. That would speed up my ability to find the right asset.

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.

Easy to navigate for the team and easily understood too

Loading times can be an issue as we require speed on process for all our data and services

Easy and Hassel Free. Everyone can use this with a small training

It store the data on the local drive. And after sometime system become slow. Lastly have to remove those one.

The most helpful part of CI HUB besides its ease of use with integrations is the user-friendliness plugins. Their documentation is also well written for getting started and also has plenty of videos through their academy portal.

I feel the pricing structure might need a bit of work considering different platforms are sold either independently or as an add-on. We also use Envato elements for specific projects and I don't remember seeing connectivity with them which would be awesome.

I like that it is integrated right into the program.

Seeing the images of the photos are still small when I enlarge them to the max. I am not a fan of the search filters showing up as well. I have to hide it every time I do a search. If I do use the filters they are hard to find as well.

Hello Val, thanks for the feedback. I love it. We have implemented now an option to do XXL Previews. Let me know if this works for you. Also together with your Asset Storage Provider, you can configure the Filters. I think this will help a lot. Let me know at support@ci-hub.com if you need more support. Happy to help. Andy

I like the flow and the features even thot it’s not perfect but it’s very important for the work

What I like least is the fact that sometimes the loading takes a while

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

IT is easy to use and set up. There are a lot of products supported for integration. It makes it very easy to use PIM data in Adobe softwares. The interface is also pretty simple.

Sometimes the tool has to be refreshed to reflect changes in API. It should also allow to export links for assets; this could be very useful for certain use cases. With some products, write back feature is not available.

The ease of use and the variaty of integrations

The pricing model (named users) could me more flexible (concurrent users)

We can perform other actions while image linking is in the process it doesn't hange that software, a lot of properties are enabled we get on the image.

It take space on local drive which cause to slow the system and if other user use the same file he/she has to relink all the components

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

I like that I don't have to link huge sized files over the company server to my work

The software can be tricky when searching for an image if the library isn't organized cleanly

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.

We started using CI Hub during the pandemic so we could access all our assets remotely and share files from clients and vendors in less steps. The search feature is the best part for me. We no longer need to look across a half dozen potential locations or move everything to a single project folder, although best practices still say we should!

The process of adding all our asset sources wasn't totally seamless but we eventually got the hang of it.
