Daminion
Daminion is digital asset management software for teams organizing, finding, reviewing, and sharing company assets stored on a server or in the cloud. It supports raster and vector images, camera RAW, video, 3D, CAD, audio, and office documents, and says it handles more than 150 file types. Search includes full-text queries, filters, Boolean and fuzzy search, saved searches, and visual similarity. Teams can use custom metadata and embedded IPTC, XMP, and EXIF data, with automatic tagging for objects, scenes, and faces. Collaboration features include comments, annotations, approval workflows, shared review collections, file locking, and version rollback. Expiring, password-protected links can have download limits and activity reports. Daminion offers self-hosted deployment or managed cloud hosting, plus integrations with creative, office, storage, and mapping tools. Self-hosted pricing starts at $330 per month, billed annually, and requires the customer's hardware and IT support; cloud hosting and storage are charged separately.
