Hi Steven, thank you for your earnest feedback. We are working hard to enable our users to create their content management workflow using Elvis and Enterprise. Could you let us know what you would expect from an Illustrator plugin? Using the Elvis Agent you can easily work with local Illustrator files. Is there more you would expect?

Elvis FEEDBACK
See above.
PROSTagging and filtering the items is a great tool. Possibility to storage lots of materials of any kind. Possibility to create instant shareable links. The procedure of creatin new users is easy and simple.
CONS- The main filters selected inside the Client pro should be visibile also from the brand portal, while at the moment the filters part of the brand portal works randomly. - Sometimes the action of selecting more items does not work all the time. - When you tag many items, at the beginning the system seems to have included all the filters and tagging, but if you log-in the following day, you may realize that many items lost their tags. - When you open the brand portal, people should not see the latest items uploaded, but only the main categories on the left menu.
Reasons for switching to WoodWing Assets
The previous system was old and inefficient.

Coca-Cola user experience Elvis DAM
My overall experience with Elvis DAM is that the productiveness of the graphics designers and creative agencies increased significantly. The manual admin process of uploading, downloading and sharing assets is facilitated and enables us to use our time in a more efficient way.
PROSWhat I like most about this software is that it is very intuitive, user-friendly and there are lots of opportunities to integrate to or from other applications.
CONSWhat I don't like about the software that sometimes it takes a long time to develop. For example you cannot download a png format with transparent background from a ai file. The system of having to place the request on a platform and waiting for 'votes' of other users take too much time. What I don't like either is that when you want to replace an asset, it automatically downloads and opens up in Photoshop.
Reason for choosing WoodWing Assets
Solution closest to our needs
Reasons for switching to WoodWing Assets
We switched in 2016 from MediaLibrary to Elvis because the previous solution was created in 2004 and was not open to do new developments, to comply to our advanced needs.
Vendor Response
Dear Iris, thank you for your feedback. We understand that sometimes it can take a while to develop some of the feature requests by our customers. Please take into consideration that we are also working hard to develop other planned features in accordance with our product roadmap. We appreciate your patience and we are very happy to have you as our customer.

Elvis has entered the building!
Elvis DAM is a professional program that helps us structuring our digital assets and it quickly became an essential part in our company.
PROSServer-side one of the biggest advantages of using Elvis DAM is that we now had the possibility to use the API-module. This came in very handy to link our product en project images to our database which was than linked to several applications internal and external. One of these is our new website which will be released soon. After a quick tour of the managment console I was able to setup different accounts for intern personal aswell as for freelancers. Defining groups was a nice feature to determine which groups can have access to certain folders and files. Client-side the custom-fields came in handy to add extra information to your assets.
CONSThe software sometimes feels like it is not fully finished . You might encounter some bugs depending on the setup of your server en server software version. another disadvantage is that you cannot "upgrade" your licenses. At the launchwe bought some basic licenses and, after some testing, we concluded that these were too limited for us.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your earnest feedback, we highly appreciate your review and we will forward your suggestion to our development team. An upgrade of your licenses is possible and we recommend that you contact your WoodWing Partner for this.

A big step ahead in the digital asset management life.
Using the Elvis DAM improved file management, eliminating FTP from our workflow, while at the same time giving more control over the files, the metadata fields and the structure behind the files. In a nutshell, storing, searching and sharing digital assets is now a walk in the park.
PROSIt's easy to use and intuitive. Uploading, tagging and organizing multiple files has never been so easy. No more duplicates or lost files, also thanks to the handy versioning. Setting up users, groups and all the rules behind it can be done really fast. Also, the possibility to share files by creating links remove many useless steps, improving a lot the workflow by removing time-consuming activities.
CONSThe Brand Portal side could be improved with added personalization. In particular, it is missing the possibility to personalize the metadata fields in a more clear way. The ability to divide/group tags in different sets would make it more clear, by reducing clutter, and improve user experience.
Reasons for switching to WoodWing Assets
The previous platform was lacking in many ways, in particular from a back-end perspective.
Vendor Response
Dear Andrea, thank you for your earnest feedback. I am really glad that you find Elvis DAM easy to use and intuitive. We plan to introduce more customization options of the Brand portal in the near future. Concerning the suggestion for custom metadata fields, we will take this into consideration too, however, we believe that the taxonomy should be concluded on a company/industry level because any additional metadata fields added by users could create greater complexity of the asset tagging.

Top findability with Assets
I spect a lot of time searching images and/or documents into folders on each PC of my organization. WW Assets allows us to have our whole digital archive in one site and to share each asset with people outside our company without mail, FTP, Dropbox, drive.
PROSThe possibility to find each asset filtering results by keyword, type, tag, metadata, and more.
CONSReferring to my job, I think that WW Assets already has all I need.

Most intuitive interface in the DAM market
Image repository and content workflow
PROSThe intuitive interface makes it easy for new users to adopt. The comprehensive APIs make it easy for developers to interact with.
CONSThe occasional undocumented feature that causes some heartache until you log a call with support.

Professional Solution
I am a professional photographer, in Elvis Dam I found the best solution to manage all my files. It is a fantastic tool to have all my production online and to manage all the files in an easy and organized way. Before Elvis it was a complication to deliver, search and deliver to my clients the material I produce. Elvis has all the tools I need to store, search and share my photographs
PROSEasy loading system, metadata tagging, excellent search tools. The system to share the material with my clients is the quality that I value most, it allows me to deliver and have a return in an easy and intuitive way. I can create portals so that my clients have all the material produced and that they search and manage without having to intervene.
CONSI still find the administration console a bit complicated.

Excellent manage for digital Assets
We work online in many countries and with Elvis we can storage, share and get access to data for working in each country. Software is very user friendly and acces to all our digital assets its quite simple. Just shearing a link in between marketing, Graphic Design and sales its enough.
CONSI think it could be useful to have to option to choose between diferente languages. Some of our employees in other countries find difficult to understand and would prefer to change users language to Spanish.

A swiss knife for DAM
We were pleasantly surprised by the ease of customisation (if you have a developer at hand) and the APIs are generally well done, as is the documentation.
CONSSome hiccups in the web interface, nothing major for now, usually resolved by a reload or a re-login.

ELVIS AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR AGENCIES
Functionality is excellent and consumers support is very fast. We use Elvis almost every day for internal data administration but also for clients. Workflow is great when you begin to use it daily. Uploading speed is quite fast and use is very intuitive.
CONSI didn't found big cons yet. May be graphic design could be better but this doesn't affect functionality that is excellent!
