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. There is no free plan, and a 14-day trial can be requested after a quote and demo.

MediaSilo is a collaborative workspace for managing, reviewing, sharing, and presenting creative video projects.

Review tools support time-coded comments and side-by-side version comparisons across video, still images, and documents such as scripts and contracts.
