Pattern PXM Reviews

I love that we chose this product right when we knew we would be doing a branding transition. This has made our transition a little less painful, stressful, and chaotic.

Getting everything into the system was extremely time consuming. Not so much difficult, more tedious. But it was one of those things where once you knew you were done it would save you TONS of time in the future.

Amplifi serves not just as an asset management system but also as an information system, significantly enhancing the efficiency of our creative team. It facilitates seamless storage and retrieval of information/files, making the process much easier than before. This information system capability has empowered our sales team to bring the latest materials and product information to the market from a centralized and up-to-date source.

The use and search capabilities while on mobile view have proved to be a little bit of a challenge

Ease of use even for beginners. A value for money product, especially for large enterprises. Great for digital asset management between collaborators

Better customer support, tutorial videos and added product features for intracompany tasks

I am extremely satisfied with Amplifi's ability to manage large catalogs. When you manage as much product as I do, it can be very daunting keeping everything together. It is easier to take content from my clients and put it in Amplifi than digest it in the way they give it to me.

I do not really have much I do not like. I think the only issues i have had are my own inablity to dig into the cool features they have

I like the easy and intuitive way you can use Amplifi to search and share files.

Having to explain the functionality and organization of folders to reps and internal staff who are not the best with new platforms or tech.

Amplifi not only helps you organize your files and be able to find them easier, but they also are thinking ahead to help organizations use their content across multiple platforms and marketplaces. When we brought it on board, they were there to help implement the product in an effective and efficient way. I have been using it more often than our older system because it's so much easier to use. On my side of things, It's helping solve our content management and being able to find the content for the products that I need to accomplish my job. As the E-Commerce Web Developer, I need to find images of products and lifestyle images of the products that we are using in promotions or product launches. In our old system, you could only find the product if you knew the SKU number. But with Amplifi, I can type in the name, SKU, or product type, and I can narrow it down to the specific product that I need. It's much more efficient than our old system and so much easier to use.

It is also helping with our syndication across marketplaces like Amazon, so that we can easily use the same content across those marketplaces without stressing about the different formats needed for each market.

From my interactions with it, I don't see any downsides. The only hiccup that we have had has been onboarding new users. But we have been working with our Rep and the tech team to make sure that this wrinkle gets ironed out

I love how easy it is to upload assets and to collaborate with colleagues across the globe. The organization and interface are easy to use - there are so many possibilities and ways to organize assets. It is so easy to share asset files and folders with our vendors. Our Amplifi rep is so helpful and knowledgeable!

There are really no downsides. There are a few features/capabilities I have asked about and I have been told they are all in development or to be released soon!

I really do enjoy using Amplifi. The key benefits are how easy it is to upload/store content and also finding that content. We have a large catalog and Amplifi makes it simple to find content. I can't waste time trying to find content, and Amplifi makes my job so much easier.

I would like being able to publish content directly to Amazon. I know that is coming soon, but will use it regularly when it is here.

Great team with awesome ideas and solid execution

With the new way of thinking about how to access assets there's a learning curve but once you get the hang of it I'll never go back to anything else, next level design to the status quo for similar DAMs.

I love that Amplifi is much more affordable than Salsify. It's easy to export and share data.

I don't have any dislikes. The software is great to use and easy to learn

Search functionality and how easy it is to manage assets

still working through it and compared to Salsify I haven't found any Cons.

Ease of onboarding, ease of use, customer support

None to note at this time that I would like to discuss.

The system navigation was an excellent improvement from our previous DAM. The system is intuitive to use; easy left side navigation allows quick access to specific product models and lifestyle images categorized by brand, in addition to general search or advanced search functions. Key to our choosing Amplifi was its unique combination DAM/PIM, allowing us to import key product information from a separate system fairly seamlessly. None of the other systems we looked at had that feature.
We liked other features such as the ability to promote a selection of different assets on the home page, which can easily be changed out whenever desired.
Perfect for us was the ability to set up different “regions”, allowing us to create separate access and views for a sister brand, and an inhouse training academy who presented a service rather than a product. These admins could have access to their own private assets and allow “their users” to access without us having to show our master brands to these other users. This was all at the same price, while some other DAMs charge a separate set up for this.
Easy sharing of assets via the Lightbox system was also a big plus.

Nothing major - just a few little things. We initially had issues with miscellaneous images that were loaded but not being visible. Sometimes AMP could fix it quickly; other times they were challenged as well. We were used to seeing both jpg and eps files in one folder/view. Amplifi separates the two - jpgs are seen as images; eps files are misc. You just have to remember where they are. Same with Collections and Files - there are times when users couldn't find images, only to realize they were on the wrong view. Again, something that just has to be remembered.

1) Amplifi is centered around the day-in, day-out workings of a B2B sales model and B2C e-commerce model. There are a million small-midsize companies like ours that don't need a PIM. All we need is a way to distribute our digital assets and feed them into e-commerce sites.
2) It performs the core functions needed and it has some very nice value adds for our sales team.
3) The platform is intuitive - thus making it easy for business partners to "help themselves".
4) The technical support is fantastic because it is centered around their customer's needs, not around the software itself - an issue I find with most other platforms where their support finds customers almost a distraction from their real job, whatever that may be. This is true of a solid 80% of DAM and PIM providers.

Can't think of a thing that I don't like.

- Built around Self Service and enabling people to get assets that they want
- Intuitive to use and navigate.
- File transfers acheived without downloading. Send links no reupoloding downloading for sharing assets.

- The system defaults to a single source of truth. It's buil to support global companies, global solution pushing towards a global part number which can be the right thing to do. SOmetimes you want toverride this though and that is also possible.

It's clean and simple, not bogged down by trying to be too many things to too many people like some of the solutions out there. It's very visual, and supports thumbnail views for more file types than other options we researched, which is key to our end users. Love the options for end users to download collections as they exist or to custom build/gather their own collection. Great search and filter tools, as well as category and language setup.

Uploading assets and then adding them to collections could be a little more streamlined. In the view of file types it would be nice to be able to have more control, so we could custom-name different types/buckets.

We have not yet launched our instance of Amplifi.io to our partners, but we are loving it so far. The system is easy to use (both for an administrator and a user) yet its not watered down. Our business is quite complex and Amplifi.io has been able to handle every request. I especially love that their user interface is intuitive and beautiful so we don't have to spend any time designign that or apologizing for it. We can spend all our time adding content, keeping it organized and up to date. Additionally, the involvement by the staff at Amplifi.io has been invaluable! They've added so much guidance, direction, training, best practices and wisdom!

Anytime the system doesn't work quite as we expect, Amplifi.io is quick to give it to their developers and improve it but they've all been quite minor. So far we've not found any serious drawbacks.

The system is easy to use and easy to maintain. Content is easily downloadable and shareable to any audience. I love that the system allows me to download original image hi-res files, as well as compressed, smaller jpg and png files that the system generates so my design team doesn't have to manually create different file types.

The system could offer a more robust tagging and analytic features, but hear I hear it is in the works!
