Successful In Enhancing & Sharing Branded Images
As I said above in having multiple properties with different overall approach our biggest win was creating a keyword library to standardize asset collection across our resorts. It then provided a simple way to find what we or someone externally was looking for. Created an efficient way to help our brands achieve goals through their visuals.
Pros
As a company of multiple resorts across various regions Image Relay enabled us to manage our image assets as well as logo assets in a very easy, navigable format. Establishing a keyword library for our resort teams to use created an easy search mechanism for those properties but also our corporate team when necessary. Creating collections was also a very good tool we often used for providing photography and assets to media and other external individuals without needing to provide login credentials.
Cons
I think it could use a few updates and also provide a few more downloadable aspect ratios & styles. The program hasn't really been modernized but not sure it really needs to be. I was very pleased with our relationship so not may cons in my book.
Reasons for Choosing Image Relay
Same as above we felt the cataloging was well done and we could standardize it for our needs.
Reasons for Switching to Image Relay
Image Relay provided an easier way to search and also visually see the photo file easier.

Image Relay has given us so much more time back
Overall we are very happy with the system it is visually appealing and makes the search experience more intuitive and our customers and staff feel it is a much improved way of retrieving images.
Pros
Best part of the system is that it allows your customers/partners to begin to self-service themselves which in turn limits the amount of requests/emails that you'll receive because they can now get it themselves. Favorite features are the search capabilities because you can search by color, orientation, pic/video you name it! The collections features is wonderful its just like a Pinterest board that you can share.
Cons
The system overall is great but it does have a couple areas where they can improve such as copy and paste ability would be great to quickly duplicated files in other folders. Hopefully soon you can share pics directly from Image Relay to Instagram, we get a lot of questions about that.
Reasons for Choosing Image Relay
This was a referral that we went with and adopted immediately.
Reasons for Switching to Image Relay
We wanted something that looked nicer than a file folder system where people could self-service. The search features weren't that great.

Image Relay is solid
Overall, Image Relay is a solid product and the interface is good. Customer support has always been responsive and good.
Pros
I like the fact you can download different size files depending on purpose. Search functions are good and seem to work well. Keywording and tagging is easy once you get it going, and be consistent in your entering of keywords.
Cons
The ability to add from one collection directly to another would be helpful, or to be able to download ONE photo from a collection instead of downloading the whole collection. At times could be a little quicker, but hard to tell if it is IR or my internet connection.

Outstanding Digital Asset-management Platform
We use Image Relay as the hub for our completed works. From print to video and of course our photo assets. It meets the need for a file-sharing platform, creative repository and public-facing digital asset portal. With thousands of clients, and hundreds of internal stakeholders, it is easy enough to use that little to no training is needed and sharing is as simple as can be. We recently upgraded to have access to "Showcase Collections" and the addition of a public portal - these additions are truly fantastic and have made a huge difference in the professional appearance, and ease of use of our assets for clients.
Pros
Image Relay offers a great looking, easy to use interface that allows us to share our digital assets internally and with their collection feature - externally - in a controlled manner. The showcase collections are fantastic and the ability to create a good looking public interface has improved our relations with clients and has been a great support to our sales organization.
Cons
While Image Relay has great metadata fields, it could be improved if we had the ability to make the completion of those fields mandatory based on a user's profile. This would allow any user to properly upload assets and ensure all rights and permissions are recorded effectively.

The Asset Manager We Can't Live Without
Very positive, and really can't imagine my job without it. Seamless, helpful, makes me remain very organized. Ease of use - especially sharing assets with partners, other departments - super helpful.
Pros
We've been using Image Relay for as long as I've been with the company (7 years.) I truly can not imagine my life without it. It's a seamless part of my day-to-day activities; whether it's creating content using images from Image Relay, or providing partners with Image Relay Asset Collection links for easy downloadable assets, it's really the hero to keeping our assets organized & searchable.
Cons
I think re-organizing the folders and assets could be better - would like a better drag and drop approach. It's a bit clumsy now to have to go to the folder structure and move from there (especially because we have so many folders within folders, etc.) I also have trouble dragging and dropping assets between collection sections... Not sure if it's user error, but sometimes I'm trying to move something like 10 times and it doesn't let me add it to the section I want to. Would be nice if there was functionality to add assets right to that collection segment.
