Navigation and searching is straightforward and the presence of filters makes it easy for our users to locate what they need. I like the level of control we have with our taxonomy and user access. > > **Cons**: As with any new system, integration with existing processes will always prove challenging, particularly integration with other systems. There are some aspects we still working on with Aetopia, like image dimension metadata visible in the API, but this is currently being investigated. > > The staff at Aetopia are friendly and easy to work with. Whenever we have issues or questions, they respond in a timely manner and offer workable solutions. They also take the time to understand our business needs and work with us to achieve our aims. They also respect our change control requirements, providing the necessary information that documents releases and fixes to our systems. ----- ### "Your in safe hands" — 5.0/5 > **Mathew** | *11 January 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer Support, Ease of use, new features are explained in great detail, reassurance and support are second to none. > > **Cons**: We are currently several major versions behind (upgrade work ongoing currently), all issues identified in our current version have already been addressed and improved upon in the most recent release, thus proving Aetopia listen to customer feedback and know with precision how there product is built. > > If Aetopia could get 10 stars for support they deserve it, Stephen, Gerard and the team are always quick to react (even out of office hours). Any issues are quickly identified and dealt with the upmost professionalism and efficiency, They always go that extra mile and as a result. You feel you are in safe hands with Aetopia. ----- ### "Press Eye & Aetopia" — 4.0/5 > **Kelvin** | *10 January 2022* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like the stability of the system and the ease of use for the end user. > > **Cons**: I have no issues with the software. Anything we have asked for has been delivered and or changed over the period of time we have been a customer. > > Aetopia have been a long term stable partner. They offer a professional and reliable service, serviced by an accessible and friendly team. ----- ### "Racing Post Photos & Aetopia" — 5.0/5 > **Nick** | *7 January 2022* | Newspapers | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the Aetopia software as it allows me to micro manage everything in one place when it comes to our product. From contributors getting their images uploaded in the correct format, to being able to deliver these assets to clients in a various amount of ways and then reporting on the transactions is great. It allows a self management of the product where I do not need to manage anything on a daily basis and given the support is great we have no downtime whatsoever and if there are any issues, the support team respond in a quick manner. > > **Cons**: There's nothing I dislike, Aetopia are more than willing to work with us on making tweaks to the DAM system if we look to make any changes as we have done and the system is fully malleable to our requirements. > > We have a great relationship with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and the team at Aetopia and continue to work together to provide a best in class system. They have always been willing to help and continue to assist us in delivering our assets to the best of our ability. ----- ### "Aetopia Review by Inpho Sport Photography" — 5.0/5 > **Tommy** | *18 November 2021* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Image syndication / distribution system is very robust and flexible. In addition to automatic "pushes" to our media clients via FTP, it also offers a client logon option for them to search and download images. > > **Cons**: We are sometimes limited in what asthetic changes we can make to the front of our website. However, this is understandable for such a comprehensive asset management system which operates both as an online store for the public to purchase image prints as well as a content distribution system to our media clients. > > Aetopia provide excellent support to our company. Even though there is no formal support / response time SLA's in place, their response times to critical issues are always excellent ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/270867/aetopia?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/270867/aetopia) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
