Swivle est une solution de gestion des ressources numériques (DAM) basée sur le cloud avec un stockage illimité pour sauvegarder et archiver les fichiers dans un endroit sécurisé et les partager facilement. Avec des fonctionnalités telles que le téléchargement par glisser-déposer, le classement des fichiers, les filtres de recherche, la gestion des accès, le contrôle des versions, l'insertion de commentaires, le processus d'approbation et le partage par simple clic, Swivle offre aux utilisateurs une plateforme de collaboration, de stockage et de partage de contenu numérique.
Les utilisateurs peuvent stocker et archiver tous leurs fichiers professionnels au même endroit et y accéder en ligne à l'aide de l'interface utilisateur personnalisable. Swivle est conçu pour les PME et les indépendants dans les secteurs de la conception, du marketing et des ventes afin de les aider dans la gestion de fichiers, le partage de fichiers, la création et la collaboration. L'intégration d'Adobe InDesign permet aux utilisateurs de créer et de modifier du contenu directement dans Swivle, et la gestion automatique des versions, des commentaires et des approbations permet aux équipes de collaborer à la création de contenus.
Les fichiers peuvent être téléchargés vers Swivle en utilisant une simple interface glisser-déposer pour le stockage sécurisé et les autorisations peuvent être gérées pour contrôler les accès en affichage, édition ou téléchargement, selon le contenu. Swivle facilite l'organisation des fichiers à l'aide de mots-clés, de dossiers et de filtres de recherche afin que le contenu puisse être localisé en quelques étapes seulement. Les fichiers peuvent être partagés avec des collaborateurs internes et externes en un clic en générant un lien de partage qui peut être copié et envoyé aux destinataires.
Avantages
Upon first use, you'll see that Swivle has a flexible UI with ability to toggle between masonry, thumbnail, list and filmstrip views. You can open and close panels to customize your view or change it depending on the task at hand. Don't need the folder browser or filter panel? Close them.
What's great about the UI is that it feels like it's simple, but it's actually very powerful with beneficial little details, e.g. the "show files in subfolder" option which just makes browsing that much more helpful.
The ability to create collections is great as a function separate from the browser, so you can assemble assets into your own custom groups without needing to duplicate assets or create folders. And then there's the ability to share a Collection via a share link, so outside agencies can get access to just those assets. This is a nice middle ground before giving full access as a portal user. And on that note, Portals is a great feature too for granting larger scale access to assets.
Lastly, customer service is superb and engaged, and genuinely seems to care about your issues.
Inconvénients
If you're working in a folder with a lot of assets, it can drag your browser a little bit when trying to scroll.
There doesn't appear to be support for the HEIC image format yet (as far as generating thumbnails). Most people think assets are high-res JPGs or TIFs, and that makes sense, but we often take a lot of behind-the-scenes iphone photos at shoots, and treat them as assets, and give agencies access to them for marketing and things. So we've had to convert to JPG prior to upload, which isn't a big deal, but it's just an extra step.
Before Swivle, the marketing team estimated a loss of 5 hours per week searching for assets living on 3 different servers and an undetermined number of Google Drives, Dropboxes, individual drives, etc. Often after an asset was located, we often still had to do investigative work to learn who is in the image, where it was taken, when, do we own the copyright, does the image illustrate the correct program, etc?
Now we are spending less than 1 hour per week searching for assets, and we do no investigative work because all of the information we need is in the metadata.
Avantages
I never say "I wish Swivle had X" because it has everything I need.
Intuitive interface
Compatible with all file types our team uses
Preview and download in various pre-set sizes
Drag-and-drop uploads
Customizable metadata input
Excellent filtered search tool - quickly find the ideal assets for every project - search tool even works within PDFs!
Ability to track copyrights and copyright expiration dates
Easy folders/collections/tagging tools for organization
Affordable for a medium-size nonprofit
Inconvénients
I found the initial plan/purchase options a little confusing, as far as how many seats we got for how much money. The final contract was very satisfactory, but it took awhile to get there.
Easier to search and find the right files, also more efficient for different tasks. We compared many different digital asset management systems and Swivle was the most flexible solution at a very reasonable cost and easy to set up. You can start using it within a day, not within weeks as with other DAMs you need to set up in your company's own network structure.
Avantages
We first purchased Swivle to organize our picture library, but now also use it for all the PDFs of our different publications, videos and for our freelancers to submit data to the editorial office. It's easy to use and doesn't require lots of knowledge for new users. Working gets more and more flexible and individual and therefore it's great to have all the data in the cloud. Customer support also works perfectly, I always got good advice and helpful answers within a short period of time.
Inconvénients
There are different ways to set user rights and you can create groups and rules all of it can become a bit complicated and it's sometimes hard to actually look through.
Thanks Martin for your response! In Q3 or Q4 of 2017 we will release our new version of the Management Console, where we have greatly improved the way to set user rights, groups and rules.
We use Swivle to provide marketing assets to our sales force, and as a home for our video and photography assets in house. It’s great!
Avantages
It’s flexible. We have a private collection of assets and public collection.
Ease of use. Many non technical users on my team contribute assets and have no issues using the app.
Value. Good value considering what you get with higher priced competitors.
Service. I get the support I need and have had the opportunity to give input when testing enhancements.
Inconvénients
It’s not as easily usable on mobile. Opportunity to enhance.
Avantages
We're a media company, so the ability to organize our photos and have it easy for everyone on the team to access was a must. Swivle met all of that (we've been using them since they were Elvis), not to mention their customer service is top notch. Anytime we run into issues OR worse, someone accidentally deleted the whole file, Swivle was there and helped us to restore and find the file we needed. They're super transparency about their maintenance time too, which we really appreciate. We especially love the folder sharing option or having a client directly upload photos to our folder.
Inconvénients
Nothing at all. Maybe someway they can help us to bulk-tagging photos in our archives instead of having us going through manually of each photo.
Thanks for the kind words about our product and our service. Much appreciated!

Can't really ask for a better DAM for the power and storage offered at the price. So many other competitors may have a massive suite of features, but they seem to want your soul in exchange. Swivle really just gives you what you need, and stays out of your way.
