Verdict
An API-first, developer-configurable content platform with DAM features, built for enterprise teams (100+ users) with in-house developers, not a low-code tool for non-technical editors.
Free, open-source, cross-platform photo cataloging software for large RAW libraries, with tagging, geotagging and duplicate detection, meant to pair with a separate RAW editor.
A digital asset management platform for manufacturing and AEC companies, rebranded from Digizuite in 2024, integrated with KeyShot's 3D product-visualization suite.
An enterprise PIM, DAM and content management platform, for multi-brand retailers, manufacturers and publishers with multilingual product content.

“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.

Nuxeo No prices, and no explicit confirmation of on-premise on the product page — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
digiKam It has no collaboration, permissions or approvals by design — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.

No email required — the page prints as it stands.
