About FotoWare DAM

The Fotoware DAM enables organizations of all sizes to store their important files like images, videos, and documents in one central system. With our solution, everyone can find, share, and reuse these files much more efficiently.

In a Digital Asset Management solution, all files are tagged with descriptive metadata upon upload, which is what makes the files searchable and easy for your users to find. As we like to say: a file is not an asset until metadata is added.

    Pros:
    The ease of yes and how each element is customized to suit our company's workflow.
    Cons:
    The price! When assets and how they are captured change it sometimes take a little too long for the software to catch up with elements of the new file types.

    The sales pitch and customer support felt more personal.

    Pros:
    I have used the programs from fotoware for more than 15 years. Being able to search and find files in seconds has been amazing.
    Cons:
    There has been a somewhat high threshold for making changes or especially upgrades to server software. This has gotten worse after we lost our local dealer network.

    Extremely useful, even when using only a fraction of what it's capable of

    Extremely positive, we managed to combine an older database on an outdated operating system with what we had set up already. It meant creating a small bespoke part ffor the software but it does exactly what we need to do.

    Pros:
    We utilise only a very small fraction of what is possible from the software. But the development team have helped find bespoke ways to incorporate what we needed the software to do. It's been easy for a variety of experiences to get to grips with and has controls in place to lock certain features down for admins to manage.
    Cons:
    There really isn't much I don't like or would say needs improving. Tiny little bits of customization in terms of different columns viewable on different pages/databases, instead of the same ones throughout each would be a nice to have. But other than that the ability to customise the vast majority is excellent.

    Reasons for choosing FotoWare DAM

    Time and cost to create a system from scratch was must greater than figuring out a way to integrate an old system into this software.

    Thank you for your review, Trystan! It's great to hear that FotoWare is such a useful tool for your organization

    20 years working with Fotostation/Fotoweb and still going on!

    5

    I work with Fotostation/Fotoweb since 20 years ago and really like this software. In my last experience, I had to produce a huge book collection from the scratch during the coronavirus pandemic in a brand new company. There wasn't a physical office, staff, or platform. In 3 or 4 weeks we put everybody on board: picture researchers, graphic designers, illustrators, text editors, cartographers and book reviewers. The workflow was efficiently designed thus helping us in reaching our goal.

    Pros:
    I really like the possibility of customizing the editors, actions and collections from each client in an independent way, with an easy transition among them. I appreciate the clarity of knowing which IPTC fields we are dealing with and how to manage them. It's also pleasant to know that Fotoware is bringing to Fotoweb all the functionalities from the complete Fotostation.
    Cons:
    I dream about a platform that captures the html information (such as an image description) and automatically brings them to the IPTC fields. I imagine it should be an API to do it however I'm not certain. That´s not a trivial feature.

    Vendor Response

    Thank you for such a lovely review, Denise. It gives us so much joy to know that you have been using FotoWare products for more than 20 years and still love it!

    All relevant metadata-fields is in one screen (no scroll, no tabs). Pleasant thumbnail-interface. Very fast search. Great AND-NOT search. Great Add-text-to-multiple-photos-feature. Great Find-and-replace-feature.

    If I manually choose two similar photos and want to enrich metadata in both: No automatic comparison of metadata. Configuration is sometimes for nerds - i.e. the text editor. Not many new functions in Fotostation Pro the recent years.
