NetX Review

PROS: One of the things that caught my attention is how I could customize this tool to serve the purposes I got it for. For instance, the tool's capability to handle multiple uploads makes it a perfect fit for users that are handling a huge number of assets. While they can upload directly via the web browser, I was impressed by the upload application that uploads the assets on its own, so you are free to work on other things. You can also customize this so that search capabilities are optimized and function as search filters. You can even have unique attribute fields in place. What this can do with existing file data is also great. It can take the metadata from Dublin Core, Camera Raw, EXIF, and IPTC fields. Once you've imported the files onto this, the software does the job of syncing those attributes. I found it incredibly helpful because it has automated the tagging and attributes an application to assets that have just been imported. What that translates to is an easier job for us when we are searching files. It even delivers on the aesthetics because its Portal makes for a great experience for those who are either just viewing, searching, sharing, or downloading a file. The Portal can also be used to configure micro CMS pages, which boosts what an organization wants to say about a brand. I think organizations looking to improve their digital content management wold do well to get themselves this software.

CONS: Since you access this online, the biggest complaint I have about it is the fact that a lack of an internet connection immediately renders it useless. Fortunately, you can still use a smartphone to access it, thanks to the recently introduced mobile optimizations.

PROS: The most impressive thing about this may not be the tool itself but their support team. Whenever I encounter a problem with it, they are quick to resolve it for me. The developers also listen to the customers when it comes to coming up with new features.

CONS: Before voicing my complaint, I want to point out that the developer has already been working on it, and I have seen improvement over the past few months. The biggest gripe I have with it is that there is a slight lag with the tool when updates and changes are introduced. But like I said, it has been improving over the past few months.

PROS: There are a lot of things that I found impressive with this tool. For one, the simple and straightforward user interface is a gem and made it so easy for the team to learn how to use it. I also appreciated the flexibility of the importation, mapping, and syncing of metadata. This software also made it easy for our team to compare data from different assets, thanks to the Metadata Grid Editor. We've been so impressed with this that you can now find it being used in our museums, for our communications, and even for medicine. It's also a great thing that the customer support team that they have in place provides great help. They work hard to resolve your issue for you. The openness of the company towards customer suggestions is also a great thing to see. They have a site for product feedback and suggestions that they actively monitor and I think that is amazing. A lot of the updates I've been seeing have come from user suggestions!

CONS: I think this product is as close to perfect as it can be. Sure, there are still things to be improved, such as its GUI design elements and some of its workflow and features. It wouldn't hurt if they optimized the GUI design elements, like I said, and improved the workflows. I've also noticed that the software has become better and better with each new version that comes out. All in all, I'm confident that any future issues I may encounter will be effectively resolved.

PROS: The benefits this has brought to our users has been great. The interface is simple, so clients do not have to contend with a steep learning curve. It has strong search capabilities also make each search come up with what our clients are looking for.

CONS: My biggest complaint is how the tool's native interface and the interface for the Portal do not exactly align. However, I have been told that the developers are working on it, and I look forward to both interfaces aligning.

PROS: Our management were really charmed by the tool's Portal and thought it was remarkable. I've seen the tool improve the storage and distribution of our digital assets.

CONS: Frankly speaking, we have not had any issues with using this tool. It's working great for us.

PROS: This product has really helped out our company. It was complicated for us to keep all of our visual assets in order and access them since they were in local servers. With this product, any member of our company can easily access our visual assets wherever they may be. Another impressive thing about this product is how they have provided support and training for us. It helped us set up this product and shortened the time that would have been spent installing it.

CONS: There are still a few things that we are adjusting to. For one thing, it can be a bit overwhelming to tag assets. One improvement I'd like to see moving forward is to have the tags be imported from either bridge or lightroom.

PROS: What did I find remarkable about this tool? First off, the interface is accessible and user-friendly. I was also impressed by how easy creating and adapting workflows is with this tool. Assets that come with restrictions can also be easily controlled with this tool since it allows users to conduct folder structure management on a granular level.

CONS: I have to admit that the long time it takes to install this was a bit of a letdown. We've also had occasions where the flow of work has been slowed down because of bugs and issues we've encountered while using it. It's not just us having issues with it as well. A number of our users have said that it is difficult to see the status bar. There have also been instances when the tool has ended up confusing our users. It would say that there are no assets found in two situations that are too different from each other. The first situation is when it is still loading and looking for the image being searched. The other is when there is no image. It can get confusing for customers, understandably.

PROS: The organizing prowess and the intuitive nature of this tool are awe-inspiring. We've been able to utilize this to have our content in an organized manner that our customers find useful on their end.

CONS: One area that I think needs improvement is the searching. When it comes to the Portal, I wish to use the portal home screen tags instead. Nevertheless, the tool has been useful overall, especially the metadata.

PROS: When I discovered that this platform constantly updates and upgrades, I knew it would be the best choice, especially in today's environment. On top of that, our clients and we were very impressed with how it kept everything organized. This is worth spending money on.

CONS: A lot of patience is needed when you're first setting this up because it does take a long time.

PROS: People in our organization like this tool. They tell me that it is very user friendly and easy to get used to. An added plus is that the tool's support team is always up to resolve any issues we encounter when using the tool.

CONS: There should be a better way of introducing new features to the tool because what we have experienced is that the existing features end up suffering because of the coming improvements.

PROS: Managing assets digital and physical has been made easy by this tool. I've been able to use several ways to organize my assets, thanks to the multiple options this tool provides. I can group them either through forms, custom workflows, or even metadata. It's a system that I can readily recommend.

CONS: I do have to say that this is not for a beginner. The team that will use this has to have a digital librarian that is well-versed in managing assets so that they remain organized. Although I only say this because it would be a shame for this tool's extensive uses not to be utilized because the one managing it is not tech-savvy enough.

PROS: Collections, links, and assets being easily shared because of this tool is a big plus. On top of that, I was impressed with how assets can be associated with multiple directories.

CONS: I have to say that if you're working with a lot of digital assets, it can be a bit tedious to use this tool, especially when it comes to integration and manipulating files the first time around.

PROS: Really have to commend how user-friendly this is. Besides that, I've found it really adaptable and intuitive when it comes to different situations. The speed I can upload things thanks to the drag and drop capability is a big plus. Also impressive is how easily I can look for, organize, and share content with this tool. Our social media campaigns have not proceeded much more smoothly.

CONS: If I look at the bigger picture, this tool has met most of the challenges we've faced. If I had to point out a negative, it would probably be how I keep getting logged out after spending some time doing something else. I hope there's some way to deal with this.
