Open source. > > **Cons**: The administration interface can be difficult to handle sometimes. > > Using Phraseanet sine 2010, it's a strong software and we're happy to use it and see it improves years after years ----- ### "Très bon DAM open source" — 5.0/5 > **Hervé** | *2 May 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Les fonctionnalités principales d'un DAM sont toutes présentes et les interfaces sont agréables et productives. Le produit fonctionne bien et correspond aux attentes de nos clients chez qui nous l'intégrons. > > **Cons**: Le produit vient juste d'être disponible en version conteneurisée > > Phraseanet est un très bon produit avec des fonctionnalités et des interfaces très intéressantes qui permettent de faire rapidement les actions les plus nécessaires. ----- ### "Great experience with Phraseanet" — 4.0/5 > **Bruno** | *14 October 2015* > > I work at France Televisions group, the French public national television broadcaster, where we have been using Phraseanet since 2011. Alchemy launched the very first hosting photo gallery platform for TV channels in France. Phraseanet allows us to provide the press and media all the photos used to promote the programs. After the success of this platform for the management of our photo fund, we turned naturally to Phraseanet to manage our news (trailers, press releases, press kits) but also all our video content (preview of our entire programs before sending to the media). France Televisions group has specific needs for each of its channels (France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5, France O) and this DAM platform provides us with the flexibility and responsiveness needed to best match the identity of each channel. About the team, I want to say that the customer service is great. The technical support is always available to answer any requests our teams may have. Here are my pros and cons: +Great team spirit, customer service +High availability platform +Intuitive interface +Lots of features +Open Source +Not expensive -Small team I would like to add that we are really looking forward to the next major release of Phraseanet that we will get in a few weeks. Lots of features we were waiting for, great evolution and enhancements of the software. Overall, I would highly recommend Phraseanet to any organization looking for a DAM system. ----- ### "Cartothèque de Grand Paris Grand Est" — 4.0/5 > **Christophe** | *5 August 2022* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: La prise en main de l'outil a été facile (une formation d'une journée a été suffisante) > > **Cons**: Notre utilisation étant encore très récente, aucun point faible n'est dès lors encore remonté > > Phraseanet nous a permis de valoriser et porter à connaissance, auprès du grand public (intégration sur le site internet de notre collectivité), le patrimoine cartographique depuis la création de l'expertise en août 2018 ----- ### "Phraseanet is one of the most advanced solution to manage your assets \!" — 4.0/5 > **Sanuy** | *14 October 2015* > > It is also one of the single solution for photographers and agencies to ingest iptc metadata smartly in the files themselves. The speed and the advanced search is awesome even with thousands of assets. Productivity, flexibility make Phraseanet a solution for small and medium company. Above all it is open source, means a fast ROI. Last thing, the team is awesome. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/344319/phraseanet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
