## Reviews

### "Must Have Marketing Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Rachael** | *5 August 2019* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Widen staff was there to help us every step of the way and the overall functionality of our site is top notch because of it. My team is able to quickly find marketing materials with just a few clicks, saving us time and money.
> 
> **Cons**: There really isn't a single thing that I truly dislike about the site, but it would be ideal to be able to view brochures and catalogs as e-catalogs on Widen.
> 
> We are able to quickly and easily share digital assets with customers, coworkers, etc. all in one spot.  We no longer have to search through a messy drive to find product images, marketing materials and more.

### "Widen Collective Is Your Digital Asset Filing Cabinet" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *11 June 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As someone who loves to have everything neatly organized and labeled, I really appreciated the ability to easily organize, categorize and tag all of my organization's digital assets. It's a daunting task-hundreds or thousands of images and video files, all had to be housed in a cloud in a manner that was intuitive and retrievable. Yet, Widen Collective helped me make that happen.
> 
> **Cons**: As with any software, there is a learning curve. But, Widen offers comprehensive training and excellent customer support. Don't let this hold you back\!
> 
> IT's hard to to quantify the value this project brought to our organization-but it was incredible. We have reduced the amount of time spent looking for images, we have given access directly to our agency (reducing the number of emails back and forth requesting assets) and since partnering with Widen we've improved the quality of our assets. I would absolutely recommend Widen to any organization looking for a solution to a similar problem.

### "Widen Collective" — 3.0/5

> **Kala** | *30 November 2010*
> 
> **Pros**: Good customer support&#10;Robust reporting features&#10;Assets can be downloaded in a variety of file formats&#10;Various types of file formats are supported&#10;Permissions can be setup to protect assets&#10;Users can access the site through a standard web browser&#10;Media can be built in minutes without needing expensive software programs&#10;Assets/media can be ordered and downloaded at any time of day or night&#10;Software updates made throughout the year
> 
> **Cons**: Pages can be slow to load at times&#10;Reporting tools can be confusing&#10;Custom enhancements to the site can be expensive&#10;Some education is needed for new users of the site&#10;The site is not setup for printing on demand&#10;Home page can be confusing if your site includes the DAM and the media builder
> 
> The Digital Asset System was put in place to provide easy access to assets owned by Trek Bicycle Corporation for those internally and externally. These assets can be ordered and downloaded at any time of day or night. It's an invaluable tool for our dealers, distributors, and international offices.&#13;&#10;'&#13;&#10;The Media Template is an online ad, and media builder. It  allows Trek to control brand consistency, while it allows our users to build media in minutes using pre-approved images and text without the need of expensive software programs. We use this portion of the site to provide promotional items and in store signage to our large dealer base.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Overall, I think the Widen collective is a great product and I really enjoy working with Widen.

### "Before, I was lost.  Now I have found...my assets.  Great tool/ great people" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *28 November 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The customer experience team and help desk teams are great and make you feel like a real person instead of a cog in the giant machine of software life.  The portals.  The PORTALS\!  Portals rule.  They really do.  Best way to organize brand stuff.
> 
> **Cons**: I'm waiting for workflow to become even more robust for it to become a Workfront killer.  Which I hope that it does.
> 
> Gee, it makes work easier. &#10;&#10;We have dealers and marketing teams around the world.  This makes distributing those assets not a pain in the ass.  Also, WAY less questions than before we implemented about 'where is is this asset?'&#10;&#10;It rules.

### "My Widen DAM Review" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *12 January 2020* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My favorite things about Widen’s DAM software include an easy to navigate interface, very intuitive searching capabilities, customizable metadata fields for great detail to be attributed to assets, the ability to download files in multiple files types (fairly quick conversion depending on size of original file), the ability to customize your login screen and home screen (keeping everything on-brand is important\!), and their customer support team is amazing.
> 
> **Cons**: I feel that the asset sharing options could be expanded upon. Currently, you can type an email in and send a set of assets. I would like to see additional options implemented because it feels fairly limited currently.
> 
> Using Widen’s DAM to organize our assets has greatly reduced our marketing teams time spent hunting for images.
