ACDSee, Razuna
Side by side on what we have verified on each vendor’s own pages. Where a fact was not checked, the table says so rather than leaving a blank that reads as “no”.
Everything else
Verdict
A disk-native photo cataloguer and batch editor sold as a one-off perpetual licence, for photographers with large libraries who don't need Lightroom/Capture One-level RAW editing.
A flat-fee-per-account DAM and MAM with a free 500GB/5-user tier and unlimited paid users, for teams willing to pilot without much recent independent review evidence.

Most common complaint
The published prices are promotional and dated; list price is roughly double
On-premise is available only in the enterprise tier, whose price is not published
“Not checked” means exactly that: we have not verified it, not that the platform lacks it. Every other value was read off the vendor’s own pages on the date shown on each platform page.
What to ask on the demo
One question per platform, drawn from what actually goes wrong with it — not a generic checklist. Vendors run the demo; this hands the agenda back to you.
ACDSee
The published prices are promotional and dated; list price is roughly double — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Razuna
On-premise is available only in the enterprise tier, whose price is not published — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
