Replied October 2021 --- ### The most used software during the working day - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jørgen E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Maritime - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. To a significant degree, only positively #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Jørgen we really appreciate it! It's great to hear that you are a long term user and that FotoWare helps you to find what you need so quickly! Replied October 2021 --- ### Extremely useful, even when using only a fraction of what it's capable of - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Trystan L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Trystan! It's great to hear that FotoWare is such a useful tool for your organization Replied October 2021 --- ### 20 years working with Fotostation/Fotoweb and still going on! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Denise K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Publishing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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! Replied April 2022 --- ### Using FotoWare in a hospital setting - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrea J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The governance around image access and audit trails reports of downloaded images. Searchability of patient conditions that is essential in a teaching hospital setting. The addition of the Clinical Uploader App that allows clinicians to take their own images at the point of care 24/7. #### Cons More audit functionality for reporting, linked to activity of specialty within a hospital setting. #### Vendor response Thank you so much for your review, Andrea! We are so proud to hear how FotoWare helps you and your team in the hospital to access and upload important images Replied October 2021 --- ### Easy for users - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Turgay G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Security and Investigations - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Easy to use for our employees was the most important feature #### Cons Printing and screenshot from videos is poor #### Reasons for choosing FotoWare DAM Ease of use for out users --- ### Fotostation Pro (local install): Great overview, fast tool, relevant functions - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Mads J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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. #### Reasons for choosing FotoWare DAM Metadata in Lightroom: I simply hate the scrollbar. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review Mads, great to hear that you enjoy using FotoStation! Replied April 2022 --- ### Finding images - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Klaus R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Publishing - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. as good as we are still clients ... #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Very stabile / easy to use (fotoweb interface) / metadata handling #### Cons limited rights of main users / more individual design adaptions would be good #### Vendor response Hi Klaus, thank you for your review. It's much appreciated and we're happy to see you find FotoWare to be helpful tool! Replied November 2021 --- ### FotoWare DAMS - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Donna M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Museums and Institutions - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We get great customer service from our FotoWare vendor (Pivotal). The FotoWare product itself feels like it is regularly being developed to align with contemporary needs. It has a contemporary feel more than some other database DAMS. #### Cons FotoWare don't always feel 'global'. Their webinars, collaboration and customer interactions don't feel like they aim to reach Australian customers. #### Vendor response Thank you for this review, Donna. We hope that we will feel more global as we continue to grow, and be able to provide live webinars and activities in more time zones.
