Fellow Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Bynder Simplifies Digital Asset Management with Strong Governance and Onboarding" November 5, 2026 4.0 Bynder has helped us address challenges with scattered digital assets, inconsistent organization, and access to approved brand materials. By centralizing our assets in one platform, we've improved accessibility, strengthened brand consistency, and established clearer governance practices. This has streamlined asset management, reduced time spent locating files, and made it easier for employees across departments to access the resources they need. Pros Bynder makes it easy to organize, manage, and access our digital assets in one centralized platform. Its features have strengthened our asset governance, and the excellent onboarding support has made the transition much smoother. Cons Some features have a learning curve, particularly when configuring permissions, organizing assets, and navigating reporting capabilities. We'd also appreciate more flexibility in customizing collections and accessing detailed analytics, but overall, our experience has been positive. Review Source Data Analyst Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great tagging and filtering!" October 5, 2026 4.0 Pros The metadata tagging and filtering makes finding specific files pretty fast. I also like the collaboration features Cons We've noticed some lag and occasional failure when uploading larger files. Also, I'm not really a fan of the AI options in this platform. Review Source Marketing Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Robust Digital Asset Management for Streamlined Workflows" September 17, 2026 4.0 Overall, Bynder provides a reliable and scalable solution for Digital Asset Management (DAM). It significantly reduces file-redundancy issues and eliminates endless email chains by streamlining file sharing and image management across teams. Pros Bynder excels at centralizing digital assets into a single, intuitive source of truth. Its powerful search and taxonomy tools make finding specific images, brand assets, and creative files effortless. The user interface is clean and accessible, making onboarding smooth for both technical and non-technical team members. Features like custom metadata tagging and built-in transformations for photo assets save significant time during content creation and distribution workflows. Cons The initial setup and taxonomy planning require a steep investment of time to configure correctly for larger file libraries. Additionally, advanced customization and enterprise-level tiers can become quite expensive for mid-sized teams, and some granular file-permission settings take a bit of trial and error to get right. Review Source DM Donnie M. Chief Revenue Officer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Does Good Job" June 25, 2026 5.0 My biggest issue has been cleaning up our messily organized CRM Data after a sudden exit from a member of our team. Their Team jumped in and completed the Website Migration Task and Funnels. Additionally, the Promotional App Video they created will help me stop having to explain what we do to new people repeatedly. Thankfully it is functioning properly and I am simply happy to see it off of my desk. Pros I was pleasantly surprised when Bynder completed our Explainer Video and Site Fixes Without Disrupting The Entire System. Honestly I thought for sure they were going to ruin the entire system. I had also previously used some poor quality code earlier that completely destroyed my Menu Module. However, their Team quickly fixed this problem, and it is working properly again. Cons Why would all 5 people involved in the email thread feel compelled to let me know an animation is "rendering". Please provide one single point of contact for each task. Review Source Content Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Bynder review " June 11, 2026 4.0 Pros Bynder is excellent, user-friendly software for sharing and managing assets—such as documents, photos, and videos—by centralizing them in one place without any hassle; it also offers a wide range of logos and great color options for customization. Cons Bynder is quite expensive; it really isn't suited to small businesses or freelancers. Searches can sometimes be slow. Review Source Junior A and R Associate Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Centralized and efficient" April 16, 2026 4.0 What is essential for me with Bynder is the fact that it centralizes and efficiently organizes creative content Pros The platform makes it easy to store and share files between teams. Asset management is structured and allows you to quickly find visuals or content related to different artists. Cons The cost can be high depending on the needs for each product, and it is normal since each feature has a price to pay Review Source JM Justin M. CEO Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "I like Bynder" March 16, 2026 5.0 I am extremely happy not to have to deal with the old hard drives sitting at my desk taking up valuable space. We were storing documents and things on google drive and slack before we started using the portal, but now almost everything is in the portal. Therefore, I am rarely being asked for logos or other types of files on a daily basis (at least not most days). I can link multiple languages of pdfs together, therefore I will never lose the french version in the folder system. It just takes less stress out of my workday. Pros Facial recognition works amazingly well when finding people, which I didn't think would be possible. I also love that if I am having issues, I can contact staff via email and they won't send me off to those auto-links that are always popping up. Cons Every single time you update your software, you charge for it. Also, when I search for something specific (ie- a red backpack) the AI option is absolutely terrible. Review Source Designer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Facile a Utiliser" March 11, 2026 5.0 Pros En tant que designer, j’ai souvent besoin d’accéder rapidement aux ressources de marque et aux fichiers de projet. Bynder m’aide beaucoup à garder tout organisé et facile à retrouver lorsque je travaille sur plusieurs projets clients. Cons Il est très pratique pour stocker les éléments de marque au même endroit. Rechercher des logos, images ou guides est rapide, et partager des fichiers avec des clients ou des collègues est simple et professionnel. Review Source Content Creator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Bynder is an easy to use software " February 4, 2026 5.0 overall I love using the Bynder software especially bein able to customize templates for my unique branding Pros I like that it is easy to use and the features are great for what I need. it is great value for money and I can mange my files. Cons there is nothing I did not like about this software. As I have not needed t contact customer support, I cannot comment. Review Source Project Manager 5.0 November 4, 2026 AI summary based on a full review This tool has significantly streamlined the management of assets for a freelancer migrating from Google Drive to Bynder, reducing the time spent searching for assets. The only downside noted is the navigation difficulty in editing the homepage.

For years, I have prepared template for my customers and we were doing back and forth until a final version. Every time, no matter how much work I have put in my files, it was a total nightmare from the beginning to the end, because projects evolved, content changed, there's alway many person involved and different approval levels. I have been looking to improve the process and I was so glad to finally find a tool dedicated to this need. Gather Content allow to create templates, assign responsibilities, set due dates, manage status, track history, comments and more! It's easier for my clients to managed, edited, review and approved their content and for my team to be sure they really got the final version to integrate into website Cons Gather Content could sometimes be glitchy and/or slow. I think it's when there's a lot of content in a same page. Review Source Denise W. Marketing Specialist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Bynder is our digital assets' authoritative database" November 11, 2022 5.0 Bynder acts as a central repository for all of our digital assets, making it easier for everyone in the organization and our external partners to access the most up-to-date and accurate versions without wasting time searching for them or second-guessing whether or not they are viewing the most recent revisions. It establishes a system that can be used across all divisions and which can be relied upon to give up-to-date and comprehensive data on our digital holdings. Pros Bynder is used all over our company. Bynder has been an extremely flexible option for us to better manage the distribution and use of all of our digital assets. Inefficient time and effort is wasted trying to locate needed digital files that have been dispersed among multiple computers, shared folders, and emails. Cons There's no way to keep tabs on which files are being transferred, downloaded, etc. It was difficult to locate assets without knowing precisely where they were stored. To use several filters based on a single metaproperty. Minimization of computerized categorization. Switched from [Brandfolder](https://www.capterra.com/p/133103/Brandfolder/) Many of our homes have many, regularly updated renderings. Given that the most up-to-date rendering was spread among several offices and individuals, keeping track of it may be a challenge. Creating a central area where we can change renderings without adding a new file and re-uploading eliminated questions about rendering accuracy. Review Source Jessie B. Content Marketing Direcor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Transformed my editorial process" June 7, 2017 4.0 \- More automated editorial process (saved time) - Less time spent communication with writers on the status of their articles, where to find their assignments, and other logistical questions - Better historical record of submissions - No more loosing submissions in the "blackhole of Google Drive" Pros I used GatherContent to get out of Google Docs and into a more sophisticated and consolidated platform for my editorial content. Some huge pros were: - Automated email notifications to writers when I changed the status on a page - HTML and plain text versions of everything - The way everything was organized - Flexible tagging / customized organization - Ability to create "forms" for content submissions (so, for example, I could encourage writers to fill out sections for standardized content, like a guide, rather than free-form compositions) - Overviews and content progress Cons Sometimes it could be a bit glitchy. I know they're still working on it and the pros far outweighed the cons, but there were times where I'd click on one spot and start typing and the text would appear somewhere else... also if I'd put custom HTML into the HTML side (e.g. a class), it wouldn't save it. Review Source JR M. IT Management Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Bynder good but not great" January 7, 2025 3.0 Very mid experience. We transitioned from WebDAM and most preferred if we could have stayed. The team at Bynder did not help us with the transition very well and ultimately it took a full year to get the DAM transferred. They cut us off of API access a week before our contract expired and tried to sell special services to get us to transfer files out. Fortunately we had already completed the transfer to our new DAM by then. Pros API was nice. Product technically was a DAM. Cons User experience was poor. Users really hated the flat structure of the database, they preferred working in folders. Finding resources using the metadata available wasn't great either. Their search engine failed us and was quirky. Switched from [Webdam](https://www.capterra.com/p/81755/Webdam/) Bynder purchased WebDAM and sold us on the product claiming it would be better, easier and cheaper. All false. Review Source Director, Communications, Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Extremely disappointed in customer service and billing policy" June 5, 2018 1.0 It helped us organize web content. Pros It served its purpose. Cons The software was fine, but the auto-renewal billing policy locked us in to another year's subscription when we did not want it, and the company showed ZERO flexibility in regard to letting us cancel. I will not use this product again. Review Source CMS Consultant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Goodbye Microsoft Word, Endless Emails, and Disorganized Content Teams!" December 5, 2018 5.0 GatherContent really helps accelerate and organize the content production process. It reduces the time needed to get the job done, and reduces the amount of errors made. Pros Finally, something for writers, designers, and developers to track and edit content production. It also helps content migration immensely for large website redesign projects. For someone that is user centered and content first, this tool (and the free training provided) will help make your case clear. Cons Sometimes setting up workflow is not always straightforward, but that is more of a learning curve for teams and requires someone with more high-level project insight to create and help update. Review Source Jessica D. Game Programmer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Bynder is very user-friendly and configurable" June 19, 2022 4.0 Our sales and marketing digital asset management system and our graphics digital asset management system needed to be integrated. We required an easy-to-use and easy-to-manage solution. Bynder gives you access to everything. Pros It was made clear by the Onboarding Manager exactly what needed to be done and when. They gave us with tools to evaluate and spreadsheets to help us verify the platform's suitability for our purposes. The weekly sessions were fruitful, and the "homework" tasks were manageable. The database is well-built, but it also allows for a great deal of customization. Cons Metaproperties and permissions may have benefited from a bit more description of how they're used, especially how they're connected. Things didn't exactly go according to plan, so we had to go back a few times and reorganize. Switched from [Brandfolder](https://www.capterra.com/p/133103/Brandfolder/)[Acquia DAM (Widen)](https://www.capterra.com/p/76774/Widen-Collective/) The gateway is well-designed, intuitive, and simple to use. As with the ongoing Customer Satisfaction Management, the onboarding process was good and comprehensive. We've been working with Bynder for almost two years now, and we haven't needed to ask for help once. Review Source Operations Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Q: Can't We Just Use MS Word? A: NO!" July 30, 2019 5.0 The software's been fantastic thus far. Getting a team of noneditors to work on Gather Content has been rather painless and the customizability for templates for various web page content we'll be working with is awesome. Keep up the great service and great UX. Pros Gather Content provided excellent customer service and onboarding with the team using it here. I saw its value straightaway. We're working on a substantial website redesign, and without someone in house whose sole purpose it is to manage the editorial process needed to bring over old content and repurpose it for the new site, there was no way that trying to handle the content creation across four teams and a dozen or so people would be healthy in a word processing program. Connecting our current-site content to Gather Content and then exporting it and working in Gather Content rather than WP has been a godsend. Cons I've not run up against any showstoppers for Gather Content. A few times I've logged in, I'm a bit unwowed by the simplicity of the dashboard and home screen. But too many bells and whistles are distracting, so I'm torn. I also wish the content map was a bit more robust and would allow me to order the subtopics in any one area. Reasons for choosing Bynder Gather Content was developed for the specific purpose of working with the content for our new site. We don't need another project management tool or doc storage system; we don't want to work with content inside of WordPress (drives me mad). So we chose the best tool for the job.

Product Designer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Your Asset Management Solution" October 1, 2024 4.0 Feature to define custom metadata fields fits our needs most appropriately. Elevate our digital asset management game with Bynder. Harness the power of its advanced features and experience the difference it makes for our organization.​ Pros Safeguard the important digital resources with the help of the highly effective security system offered by Bynder. Rely on Bynder to safeguard your assets and offer an assurance that your valuable content is safe with us. Cons It should be noted that in the asset comparison tool, there is no ability to view two files side by side. Here there is a drawback of video editing: it is rather restrictive, and where major changes have to be made, they have to be done outside the platform. Switched from [Templafy](https://www.capterra.com/p/154533/Templafy/) This transition came about to beef up the files for those who work remotely as well as increase clarity of the different versions. In the past, we had not employed the right kind of features that are now required today in a working environment with employees who work remotely. Review Source Business Development & Marketing Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Good product to track progress on content creation and edits" August 2, 2018 4.0 Pros This is a good product for collaboration on content development. We have used this to track progress on content for the past 18 months and have been mostly pleased with the functionality. There are different stages of content creation that can be used with this product that assigns ownership to certain people/teams for review/approval. Cons The product doesn't easily allow red lines and tracking of edits. We may have not been using it correctly, but it didn't seem as intuitive as it should have been. Review Source CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great tool for content professionals who hate writing content in a CMS" July 31, 2019 5.0 GatherContent helps me organize my content for clients and deliver to them for review and approval rather seamlessly. Pros GatherContent does a great job of bringing content creation, review, and approval in one place, outside of a CMS. Plus, GC offers a number of services that content it to major content management systems, making it a great way to export content to a CMS without having to work with development to customize templates or features within CMS for days and days. Cons GatherContent has some very useful features but at times it's not intuitive as to how customizable you can make templates within it. It led me to experiment quite a bit before I found a format and workflow that worked. Review Source Delivery Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Probably more powerful than we need" October 29, 2018 5.0 We use GatherContent purely for organising content for new websites. Although I find it straightforward to set up projects, I find that clients I am trying to encourage to add their content don't find it as easy to use - but this is more user error / inexperience I would say. Pros This is a really well thought out, scaleable software for content planning and management. The interface is clean and simple. Cons I suspect that this software is slightly too powerful for what we need. It still works great for small projects, but I would really like to see a pricing option for smaller scale usage, perhaps based around number of items, or even credit based. It is verging on too expensive for us in relation to our level of usage month by month. Review Source Data Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Not Bad!" July 26, 2019 5.0 GatherContent allowed us to easily communicate with an external team. Although we could not put special accent marks or upload huge files, GatherContent was much easier to use than I had expected, and I think most people would find it's a better alternative to the Google Suite for something like web design. Pros GatherContent made it easy to communicate with our website designers to allow us to upload pictures and text for our website. Cons I couldn't just put the link in the text, our developers said I had to put the link as a comment so that it would load into Wordpress properly. There were also some size limits that made my life a tiny bit more difficult (had to submit elsewhere all my PDFs as zipped files). Review Source Sean T. Search Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Took some getting used to" December 18, 2017 3.0 Hard to say - I think we might have had better results with another tool, but I've nothing to directly compare it to. Pros It works okay as a tool to bring together content and make it available for review and feedback, although it's definitely nothing special in that respect. Cons The presentation of content as components of a greater whole takes a lot of getting used to, at least in the uses I've seen as a recipient of content for review. You miss the holistic picture when content is broken down to its core components and it's hard to know whether the content works as a whole. Review Source Fabricator Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Would recommend despite complaints" January 21, 2025 5.0 Pros Bynder offers a user-friendly interface and centralized asset management, making it easy for teams to store, organize, and access digital content. It enhances collaboration with tools like annotations, approval workflows, and version control while ensuring brand consistency through customizable templates and portals. Its cloud-based accessibility and integrations with platforms like Adobe Creative Suite and Salesforce further streamline creative and marketing workflows. Cons Bynder can be costly, especially for smaller businesses, and advanced features come with a steep learning curve. Initial setup and customization can be time-consuming, and the platform may experience performance issues when handling large asset libraries. Additionally, its offline capabilities are limited, and some features, like search functionality and reporting customization, could use improvement.
