It is just amazing how it takes all the info we throw at it and just produces a nice professional catalog. Price is fair and customer service is great.

Product support is good if we get a glitch and they helped us set up our templates.

Great product, would definitely recommend for any creating a directory.

Overall this program has been quite a lot of trouble compared to how it is advertised.

Good solution and great results - can be a challenge to get it working right.

It has great barcode support, style support and ingest/outputs the data nice and quickly.

The Customer Service is excellent. You don't need to write and test code for months; style sheets get the job done.

CatBase is a best application for data publishing. User friendly, easy to access, overall it's a superb tool.

I find it hard to alter a table layout. I'm sure it is because of the lack of time studying the product.

Whoever implements this at your company will likely have to fix any problem that arises or find a work-around. The learning curve, aside from the basic things that the program can do, is very steep.

My last comment:  Catbase offers an excellent customer service and the overal pricing ( licences and support) is very reasonable.

Great product, would definitely recommend for any creating a directory that doesn't want to build their own application.

Record change history (last 5/10 saves) in the same window. However, overall it's really great and awesome.

The calculation would always end up being over by 1. This is a basic programming mistake.

When you make changes to a template, it often causes errors to show up elsewhere.

The service and support at Catbase is the best I have ever experienced with an enthusiastic, helpful and knowledgeable team always on hand when you need them.

Saved money and got a catalog produced faster.

Occasionally can be tricky to find things unless you have the exact product code or if you are looking for some lifestyle shoot imagery of a particular shoe.

Our DAM houses all of the images we use in our catalogs and online. I love it's ability to organize and tag image in order to search for them with ease.

From the beginning, I have 100% loved every experience I have encountered with Widen. I absolutely love everything about your company's history and philosophy.

Finding documentation seems to be difficult. Not sure if it the actual software or if it is the manner is which our company set it up.

Ability to convert assets to other formats. Cost is based on space not users, which is helpful in a many-user environment.

It is difficult to customize fields and search for previous items could be simplified.

The DAM interface is quick and easy to use, the reporting capabilities are robust, and the security allows a lot of flexibility.

The many API's and connectors Widen offers as well as the permission roles for users. The roles works very well for our users and helps us to control and monitor the level access to specific assets.

We are able to quickly and easily share digital assets with customers, coworkers, etc. all in one spot.

Easy to Use and Cost Effective. Provides almost instant access to all of our digital assets to our internal and external customers around the globe.

I love that I can easily store all of my content in the system, then make a website like portal to share and organize my content in a neat way.

Overall, I've found Widen to be easy to use and a good option for asset management.

Made Our Commercial Archive Pretty and User Friendly.

You can find whatever you want in seconds, also you can filter as much as you need and the best thing that I love is the option to create your own collection. This function is so helpful.

Widen is a terrific tool for our global team. We are able to have 24/7 access to all our assets no matter where we are in the world.

Ease of use and good customer service. This dashboard is legit.

We are able to archive and distribute thousands of marketing assets to a global audience very efficiently and with a sufficient amount of protection and guidance about proper usage.

Hard to do advanced searching with filters—they work in kind of a frustrating way that's hard to explain succinctly.

I can easily upload assets of all types. Tagging them, filling out the metadata, and putting longform descriptions in each asset makes it really easy for people to find what they are looking for.

Great customer service and good product that makes it easy.

Widen has been a great partner to work with on our new Digital Asset Management. The implementation process is very smooth and straightforwards.

I highly recommend Widen as a source for data/asset storage for any company. The combination of ease-of-use, customer support and reasonable cost has made our choice in Widen a smart and effective.

The customer service with Widen is a big help whenever I have questions or issues.

Sometimes it gives corrupted error. I wished it could have given the corrupt error while I am uploading files.

Because of such wonderful management, you know how to treat a customer.

I know that this has to do with the upload metadata and probably is related to user error. Perhaps if there was a more automated way to add search criteria when uploading, this wouldn't be an issue.

Inability to connect to SAP (for now). Privacy features are a little confusing to understand and implement, making it harder to bring people into the system.

We no longer have to search through a messy drive to find product images, marketing materials and more.

It's works great, the API documentation is good and Widen has given excellent support on it.
