It's super expensive. We'd been using Lightroom to tag images and SmugMug to distribute them and, honestly, if Lightroom was multi-user we never would have gotten Acquia DAM (Widen). We're using Acquia DAM (Widen) so a group of people can search through tagged images, download and/or share. These are photos used on social media and various brochures and publications. Acquia DAM (Widen) has a lot of features that we don't use -- like we don't expire photos when we send them to people, which would be more useful if we had a product catalog or something. We don't attach documents to assets, which might be useful if we had people signing contracts or something. We just photograph model releases and tag them with the subject's name which is less of a hassle (IMHO) than associating a release with a photo. So there's stuff it does we're not using that might make it a lot more useful for someone else. Our needs are pretty simple. As a database for finding photos, it's fine, but every time the bill comes I think "dang, this is really expensive."
When you share images with someone via email, you have to enter their email into a database first. I've no idea why you can't just put an email address in and share the images with someone. Maybe it makes it easier if you send stuff to the same people a lot? Not sure. It's really expensive. The interface is a bit clunky. This is probably a result of me not using a lot of the features a lot and every time I want to do something, like figure out how to refine a search by metadata categories there's a lot of wandering around. It's really expensive. That's really the main drawback.
