We are a small production services company that primarily produces photography for architects, developers and construction companies. We are primarily photographers who work with large clients. We work with large sets of photographs that need to be delivered to client in an easy and painless way and ideally in a database that is searchable for future image retrieval. DB Gallery fits the bill and is about ten times more affordable than competitors with similar offerings. The package is also scalable so that we can can add more as we need more which is attractive as a small business. As many have said the customer service is first class, and the attention to helping us get our archive set up and workflows managed has been exceptional. A few of our suggestions were even integrated into the platform through optional user-wide access. The fact that as a tiny company some of our suggestions were integrated in this way is testament to the level of service and the DBGallery team's commitment to improving their product. > > **Cons**: It can get a little clunky at times and need a page refresh, especially to generate subfolders. We wish the share link had a slightly more refined visual design experience including perhaps a thumbnail navigation, as well as faster load speeds. As a curation is important for us as artists we wish we could customize the order in which images appear in share links. Most of these suggestions are already in the DBGallery future planning slates for development upgrades. > > Incredible service as an attractive price point. Our clients love the painless private, shareable link deliveries of photographs. ----- ### "Great for Hign Volume of Images" — 5.0/5 > **Rod** | *07 April 2024* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super support. Willingness to customize at minimal cost. API worked great for us. > > **Cons**: Can't think of anything that I do not to like. > > After using other DAMs and years of searching for the best I found it in DBGallery ----- ### "DB Gallery is a reliable and helpful tool in digital asset management workflow" — 5.0/5 > **Kendal** | *05 April 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most important features for me are the metadata tagging, the search function and the flexibility of organising and reorganising the file structures. The personalised customer service is amazing, with readily available and pro-active support. The DB Gallery team is always updating features and contacting me to let me know how the updates might benefit me. > > **Cons**: There are still a few glitches and bugs every now and then, but nothing a simple page refresh doesn't usually fix. > > Overall a very positive experience, largely thanks to the excellent customer service and attention to detail. I use DB Gallery every day in my workflow, and it provides huge peace of mind that our digital assets are backed up on the cloud in addition to our physical drives in-house (where anything can happen). ----- ### "Superb customer service supporting a great product" — 5.0/5 > **Bruce** | *08 November 2022* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As with all powerful software, on the face of it you find an intuitive easy-to-use product that does what it should do and stays out of the way. The deeper you get into it, and the broader your needs become, you discover that it can handle nearly everything you need it to do and more. The common needs--uploading and downloading content, searching, tagging, creating collections of sets of frequently needed items--are all very obvious. But establishing users and changing their roles, changing permissions for different areas of the archive, even reorganizing your file structure...those things are much closer at hand than they first appear. And the help functions? Forget about the useless generic knowledge base articles that never address your needs--this help catalog has PowerPoint presentations and many robust articles that walk you through in-depth processes to help you make the most of your software. And when you still need help, the customer service is top notch. > > **Cons**: Bringing our existing archive into this software has not been without its pain points. Aside from knowing how large our repository was, we did not have a good idea of how many directories or files our repository contained. This caught both us and DB Gallery by surprise and made the first few weeks a bit bumpy as there were a number of configuration adjustments that needed to be made to get things smoothed out. One issue that cropped up as the files were automatically ingested was that the automated keyword generation resulted in a lot of chaff, and the inability to easily edit the dictionary of all the garbage means that until we have a lot of time to go through and clean up thousands of bad keywords one by one, that part of the system will not be helpful to us. The same holds true for relocating files; in the DB Gallery model our previous file structure isn't the best option. We can move directories around in the software, but only one at a time. DB Gallery has helped speed this process by allowing directories to be "pinned" but you can still only move one directory at a time rather than moving large batches of directories at once. Again, the problem is our fault, and I wish we had done things differently in the beginning. And DB Gallery is wonderful at helping find solutions as much as possible. Thankfully these are more like pet peeves than actual problems. > > Exceptionally great experience with a very fine piece of software. After working with this for six months or so, I am finally breathing a sigh of relief. It looks like this is just what we were looking for--an affordable, robust, digital repository that will allow our employees to access critical files as we transition to a fully work-from-home model without having to VPN to an on-site server. ----- ### "Great easy to use Digital Asset Management System with FANTASTIC customer service." — 4.0/5 > **Cath** | *05 July 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use product. Simple to upload and tag multiple assets at once. Detecting duplicates when uploading is also a great feature. Setting permissions on folders to tag specific users is also easy to implement and works very well. We can offer external clients viewing access as required. > > **Cons**: There are a couple of small features that they don't offer 'yet' (such as tagging favourites for individuals, and some reporting features that we would find useful). > > We've been using a home-grown system for a number of years which was pretty much defunct. After searching and reviewing products from a number of other vendors, we found DBGallery and are sure it will serve our purposes very well, the price is great considering the features offered are almost on par with much more expensive products. Customer liaison is fantastic, questions were answered almost immediately in spite of a great time difference. We haven't had it long and haven't yet opened it for regular users as we spend time populating it, but I can see it will be a wonderful addition to our company. We're also considering using their multi-platform database option for other areas of the company. They’re very willing to work with us to add extra features that we may require, and we can use our own platform instead of the cloud if required. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/182651/dbgallery?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/182651/dbgallery) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
