2005-12-14 | We've been using Canto Cumulus since version 2. It was a terrible program then but it was manageable. Now it's huge and bloated with functions that indeed make it credible for huge operations where hundreds or thousands of users need access to hundreds of thousands of digital resources. That means trained IT staff to make it work. This is not a user-friendly application and the customer service is non-existent. Do not even THINK about buying Cumulus and watch out for the single-user edition which has recently been renamed. Same lousy application, new name. | ||

2005-05-24 | I have been using Cumulus Single User Since ver 3.0. I am very annoyed with the fragility of the catalogs. You must back up religiously or you will lose data. The catalogs seem to break for no reason at all. Upgrades are often buggy and become stable only after several patch releases. Searching is very fast and the filters are extensive. Cataloging assets is painfully slow. I catalog only images in PSD, TIF,JPG and Canon RAW formats and it can take upwards of 13 HOURS to catalog a DVD with 1100 images. I am using a Mac G5 dual 1.8Ghz with 2GB RAM so I am confident it is not processor related. I would switch but I have too many assets to to do so easily. Many of the other DAM products have limits on the number of assets that I can not have. |
