"I was thrilled at the level of detail and the depth of honesty in The Digital & Media Asset Management Report. Other reports tend to want to rate a company for gold stars or magic numbers but gloss over the real workings and customer experiences of the given vendor. In that sense, this report is more valuable, certainly more tangible, than what other analysts have put forth."
-- Faith Robinson, Director of Digital Asset Management, Quality Technology Services

The Digital & Media Asset Management Report 2008 looks at... MediaBin's workflow capabilities

"When it comes to structured workflow, the product's capabilities are rather minimal. Tasks and hot folders can be set up in such a way as to create simple approval flows based on e-mail notification and progression of files (or more commonly, links to files, accompanied by low-resolution previews) through a series of folders. If you're looking for anything fancier than this, unfortunately, you're on your own."
