In their own words
MediaBeacon
MediaBeacon is an enterprise digital asset management platform for finding, managing, reviewing, and distributing digital content. Teams can apply their own vocabulary as metadata, then search and filter by keywords, color, synonyms, asset relationships, and availability. Permission controls cover individuals, groups, and roles; version history and approval workflows support review and sign-off. Brand portals can share assets internally or externally, and the Adobe Connector provides access through Adobe Creative Cloud applications. MediaBeacon can be deployed in the cloud or on premise, including on a customer’s server or cloud. It supports asset types including 3D models and digital ads, as well as listed formats such as PDF, PSD, PNG, JPG, video, and Microsoft Office files. Esko presents it for enterprise content ecosystems and distribution to ecommerce, social media, and other channels. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, API, and self-hosted environments. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan.
