Most common complaint
It changed hands in March 2026, so anything written before that date describes it as an Extensis product
Prices are published for the API but not for the DAM, so the product being compared with a DAM still has no price
A modular line-up means the total is assembled from several unknowns
A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page

“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.

Portfolio It changed hands in March 2026, so anything written before that date describes it as an Extensis product — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
