censhare Reviews

An extensible DAM+PIM+CMS platform that offers so much growth opportunities when considering unique use cases.

They aren't a full cloud system with various local clients but seems this is changing soon.

censhare is much more than a DAM, PIM, Publishing, or Portals platform as it can handle many complex use cases, user experiences, and automation requirements. The platform benefits are that we are not bottlenecked into any one feature or approach as censhare provide maximum flexibility

Censhare doesn't care what kind of workflow you use or which kind of assets you use or whatever your use case is. You can customise it like you want to. Almost everything is possible.

In the past, as a long-time customer, we would like more support. But know,censhare is doing better.

Make all very complex interfaces work properly.

The censhare platform should be thought of as a content hub not just a DAM, PIM and CMS. It is able to control your digital assets and all your data in one place giving you control on where your information is used and how. Working with a partner allows for the greatest flexibility and allows for an easy setup and continued management of the system. The open API allows for tight integrations that will not be throttled or limited by the system.

I wish there were more options around spinning up different custom portals.

By being a content hub, it allows one place for out assets and information and relates it all together.

Communication skills of the company.

Marketing Processing and Publishing Workflows

Rapid workflows, rapid ROI

It's a configurable system as opposed to one requiring development.

The two methods of accessing the platform - web or java client

The search capability

Finally the ability to build workflows and MRM within the system

Very little. A more detailed roadmap would be good, but not of improved features but new ones. This is a very easy system to use and deploy.

I assessed a number of products and Censhare was by far the easiest to deploy and use, as well as not overly costly.

Access to assets, ease of finding them and ensuring we are using the latest/approves ones.

Creating and digitising working processes to maximise resources

censhare provides a basic workflow engine with which it is simple to configure different workflows. When a process/workflow is designed time to market is short.

The user interface for the Java client isn't the most inviting one. Search can also be improved since not all users can understand the advanced search

Make sure you have committed managers/leaders close to the users as well as commitment from top management where applicable

Core opportunity has been automation.

- In/out of information/XML's,

- Automatic flow of assets in our production

- Predictability for process/workflow

censhare is extremely flexible. We've experienced a highly motivated team that is extremely motivated and very helpful and knowledgeable.

We have found some features don't exist, so it takes a little time to work with product marketing and software engineering.

Managing GoPro videos. Capturing and curating raw videos, curating work in process and publishing and curating final videos. We can easily identify and publish specific content and keep track of rights and royalties associated with these videos.

all departments from ad sales, editorial, designers, photo editors, production are all on one platform creating a magazine. Ability to see the status of any task at anytime allows us to better manage the workflow. This enables us to have better deadlines and find efficiencies with in the company.

not able to create multiple editions for regional splits or tablet versions

this is the only workflow tool that will allow you to incorporate all of your 3rd party tools in with it. We can go from concept to press in one tool.

finding open capacity with in departments to be used for creativity. ability to accurately measure the time it takes to complete tasks.

The company is very knowledgable and extremely helpful with their software. The software is incredible and is extremely useful. I like the capability to customize this software to what ever you would like. It an work as a basic Digital Asset Management system, or be your entire Ad set workflow. This software can fit the needs of almost any company from inventory to full ad sets to user management.

Due to the size of the software, it can be a bit to take in. There is a lot to learn about the software, and no one person can administrate or cover the entire software. It can get a bit expensive too due to all of the customizations that can be done.

I am an engineer that supports this software ware, but we do have clients who are using this to run a complete ad set through this software from start to finish. I have seen this software used for text books from start to finish and even for video editing and publishing.

Leverages what you already have (assets; marketing intelligence; branding and business rules) to allow the same resources to generate exponentially more output in a more controlled, targeted, and personalized and/or regionalized fashion.

To get the full benefit of the tool, your organization may have to undergo some process or culture shifts.

Definition of scope is key. Implement in phases. Consider change management.
