Verified reviewer Photography 11-50 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Reviewed October 2021 Fantastic Fotoware 5 Having been using FotoWare DAM products for almost 14 years its an integral part of our daily workflow. I couldn't recommend it enough and their customer support is second to none. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 4 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality 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. Reasons for choosing FotoWare DAM The sales pitch and customer support felt more personal. Vendor Response Thank you so much for your review, Stephen! We're delighted to hear that FotoWare is an integral part of your daily workflow and that you think our customer support is second to none! Replied October 2021 Read More AM Alexandre M. Verified reviewer Oil & Energy 1001-5000 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Reviewed October 2021 The complete solution for you asset management needs 5 Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 5 Value for money 3 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: It solved once and for all the asset management that made the company spend a lot of workforce hours in the past. Cons: The crop issue and the Pro interface annual cost are a point of frustration for end users and administrators. Vendor Response Thank you for your review, Alexandre! We're delighted to hear FotoWare has solved your asset management problems and is helping to save so much time! Replied October 2021 Read More JE Jørgen E. Verified reviewer Maritime 501-1000 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Reviewed October 2021 The most used software during the working day 4 To a significant degree, only positively Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 4 Value for money 4 Customer support 4 Functionality 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 Read More TL Trystan L. Verified reviewer Government Administration 201-500 employees Used weekly for more than 2 years Reviewed October 2021 Extremely useful, even when using only a fraction of what it's capable of 5 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 5 Ease of use 4 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality 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 Read More DK Denise K. Verified reviewer Publishing Self-Employed Used daily for more than 2 years Reviewed March 2022 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. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 5 Functionality 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 Read More AJ Andrea J. Verified reviewer Hospital & Health Care 5001-10000 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Reviewed October 2021 Using FotoWare in a hospital setting 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality 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 Read More TG Turgay G. Verified reviewer Security and Investigations 10000+ employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed June 2023 Easy for users 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 4 Value for money 3 Customer support 3 Functionality 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 Read More MJ Mads J. Verified reviewer Photography Self-Employed Used weekly for more than 2 years Reviewed December 2021 Fotostation Pro (local install): Great overview, fast tool, relevant functions 4 Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 4 Value for money 4 Functionality 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 Read More KR Klaus R. Verified reviewer Publishing 10000+ employees Used daily for more than 2 years Reviewed November 2021 Finding images 4 as good as we are still clients ... Ratings Breakdown 3 Ease of use 5 Value for money 4 Customer support 4 Functionality 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.

Verified reviewer Museums and Institutions 201-500 employees Used daily for less than 2 years Reviewed March 2022 FotoWare DAMS 4 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Customer support 4 Functionality 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.
