MediaBeacon

The easy to follow directions and the multi layered effects you can use in the design phase.

There is nothing rhat i dont like about Media Beacon except that it did not come out 20 years ago when i first started in the field

The impact is tremendous and the virtual design world we are finding exponential uses for this software

Confidentiality in this Business is Phenominal

I have no vise I admire this idea to give me ideas for my personal business

I integrate software, I’ve graduated from college with this study, my realization is that I live what o do

Media Beacon permite llegar fácilmente grandes cantidades de activos. Puede tener millas de activos que suman un total de gigabytes. La plataforma también se puede personalizar para el aspecto de su negocio y para el proceso.

Las API para cargar activos de forma programática no están completamente cocidas y no tienen una gran documentación

Media Beacon nos permitimos consolidarnos en un solo sistema de administración de activos. Antes teníamos 4 y esto suponía un gran ahorro de costes y ahorro de tiempo

I like that I can go to one place for all digital assests

There aren't any dislikes that I can think of at this time.

We have offices all over the US and it is easy for us to all use this no matter our locaiton

Very user friendly; documentation is well done

Have yet to discover something to dislike

It is very user-friendly, though that is not an excuse to ignore documentation

Colleagues who consultnt the documentation seem to do better with it

Centralization of digital assets -- general DAM benefits

Easy to upload, intuitive and easy to navigate. We have someone in house that is dedicated to getting everyone trained, so we might have it a little easier than most people, but it is such a good project.

It does take a long time to get this set up, but like I said in my title, well worth it in the end. I would recommend getting someone who can learn everything there is to know about this before implementing. It can be kind of a beast to tackle at first, but the more you use it, the more you get to know it (just like any software.

Nothing really! We are still in the implementation process.

We are in the process of moving from an older filing system to a new one, so this has been a real winner in helping us locate files more easily. We can now have employees access files from anywhere in the world and not have to be connected to an internal server anymore. We have been looking for a switch for a couple years and MediaBeacon has been a lifesaver.

I love how raw it allows me to be while designing.

Price is the biggest factor for the company

Problem solving design scenarios the pace in which I complete my work!

One of the most open and flexible toolsets for Dgital Asset Management, we have rarely encountered a workflow issue that could not be solved when using MediaBeacon. MediaBeacon has supported even the most arcane of requirements as a premedia/print production tool.

Most other DAM systems on the market lack the ability to support industrial strength applications, while MediaBeacon continues to chew up high volume batch processes.

Each new major release of MediaBeacon introduces challenges, with only the bravest and most foolhardy/desperate taking a decision to implement a new version until at least patch release 3 or 4. The new features are usually quite powerful and innovative but code implementation and execution is very uneven.

Assess your requirements for DAM extremely carefully. MediaBeacon is not the best DAM product for online workflows and production, and lacks the type of advanced Web Experience CMS features that several other companies on the market promise.

However, as a 'heavy-lifting' tool for working with extreme volumes of images and storage data, you would be hard pressed to find any other tool that can apply to as many requirements as MediaBeacon can.

Industrial high volume image and page production for retail flyer premedia production.

We have been able to integrate workflows across multiple partners in the supply chain, and to automate several key processes, providing savings in labor and time.

XMP metadata centric workflow. Flexibility that the portal architecture offers our end users.

Can take longer than I would like to stamp very large groups of assets. Can take longer than I would like to rebuild the Revolution Database.

This product continues to impress as it compares to others on the market. The portal flexibility sets MediaBeacon apart from competitors and allows any company to create custom looks, experiences and use cases for their end users. MB allows you to take it as far as you would like with very little limitations.

We built a "self-serve" asset workflow for our company saving time and money. Fewer phone calls are necessary. Additionally we greatly ease the burden of metadata entry by automating the majority of the XMP stamping for each file.

Good enterprise product with many features. Easy to install. Very robust video features. Modern web-based interface with a lot of customization available. Robust user profile settings. Very good search capabilities. Features very customizable.

A bit of a steep learning curve. Interface can sometimes be too overwhelming. Users/Groups/ACL model for permissions and security can be confusing. Updates are often buggy. User based license model. Users often do not take full advantage of features because there are so many.

Get trained by someone who is very familiar with the product. There are a lot of features and customization options which can be very useful or overwhelming.

Enterprise level product at affordable level. Easy to install and configure for basic use.
