Libris Reviews in June 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

MIGRATED TO PhotoShelter for Brands

Clunky but essential

What do you like best? I like the collaboration it brings. We can have anyone add to it if we want, or limit some with passwords. Very handy for what we do. What do you dislike? It feels clunky sometimes. If you do not have a very rigorous tagging process, it will cause major issues when you want to search things later on. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Cross-pollination of photos being used across campus partners.

A great solution with lots of good features, but lacking in a few areas

What do you like best? The ability to limit access to images or to easily share galleries and lightboxes. Metadata search is great for our org and helps people find the right images 24/7 without lots of back and forth emailing. We can instantly deploy images for social media and users can download proper sizes for their purposes. What do you dislike? Inability for users to download an entire lightbox with one click. Becomes problematic for larger collections. Responsiveness is a little ...

Great system if you use it properly. A few features though that are lacking that I'd like to see.

What do you like best? As dumb as it may sound about a photo archive management system, I just like how easy it makes it to manage our photos archive. It's extremely simple to get everything laid out into the different groups we want with all the tags we need set. Anybody that were to say its not good for organization I would say you're not using it properly. Yes you have to be sure to keep up with organizing, curating, and tagging your photos. But if you do that, sky is the limit. What ...

Libris is vital to our workflow

What do you like best? Libris has made our DAM a thousand times more efficient. We're able to catalog and share images with ease. What used to take hours now only takes minutes. What do you dislike? There's really not much I don't like about Libris, but anytime I do have an issue, the Libris team is ready to listen and offer solutions or take note for future improvements. Recommendations to others considering the product: If you're considering Libris, I recommend taking that ...

Libris has changed the way we do business.

What do you like best? Libris is easy to use, easy to send pictures, easy to organize photos and all ages can understand how to use. What do you dislike? Occasionally when Libris updates, it changes things that I liked. For example, you can no longer search a word in a picture title and it show up. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Libris is allowing us to push content out faster by having our pictures easily organized and available ...

Greatly like the retrieval process for finding photos.

What do you like best? I like the fact that photos are searchable by metadata and tagged words. It makes my job as a graphic designer that much more easier. When searching for photos in the past, I was only able to visually locate photos that I was able to use. Now that I'm able to search for photos with such tags as students, buildings, classrooms, computers, laptops, athletics, football games, mascot or university, it makes my search time for photos to be less time consuming. Since that ...

Libris is a great tool.

What do you like best? I like how easy it is to start a new collection, and keep everything organized. What do you dislike? Nothing really. it used to glitch and go back to the top after looking at a picture, but that was fixed. I works really well. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? keeping all our photos in one stop makes it way easier to find stuff when it's needed.

Good platform for DAM

What do you like best? Libris makes things easy. It allows drag and drop and has a friendly interface. A lot of useful tools and features. What do you dislike? I disliked the fact that my DAM was too big to be downloaded offline at once What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? With Libris I managed to sort out the photo archive of the company I was working for, tagging the pictures, organising them properly, relicensing them to partners and ...

Digital Assest Management with Libris

What do you like best? For me the most useful feature in Libris is the gallery permissions. Being able to create and control access to images and limit download size and view only permissions is great for sharing and proofing to different campus clients. Also the integration with Photo Mechanic speeds up my workflow and allows me to get images into Libris very quickly. What do you dislike? Depending on parent folder permission sometimes added permissions to sub-folders can be a little ...

Excellent platform for sharing images and files.

What do you like best? One of the best features is the ability to quickly share galleries, with large files throughout the company and with suppliers. Libris helps you distribute all available assets by providing a wealth of options when it comes to using the most up-to-date images. The management reports are excellent, you can monitor the records and downloads of accounts to control which assets have the greatest demand. Also granting permission rights to users is very easy and ...
