Granted Version Cue was simple to use and Zoom can be just as simple if you choose to not use all the features to their maximum. Now I must admit this could be a double-edged sword for some who are not accustomed to a full-fledged repository server. You get a whole palette dedicated to the Zoom functions.
The integration with the Creative Suite of applications is simply elegant. Probably due to being optimized for graphical content - great for me. Zoom also seems to be more efficient at storing digital assets than some of the other DAM providers. Graphical diff! It can highlight the changes made between two image files - incredible. The single most influential feature Zoom offers is the image file compare. But none came close to the power and flexibility of Zoom. Even had a brief stint with Extensis Portfolio. I had tried Subversion, Git, and several other "code based" repositories. If your company is in need of an all-inclusive project management, version-tracking software system, you should definitely check out Evolphin Zoom 2.8.Comentários: I stopped looking for a Version Cue replacement when I found Zoom. Zoom offers many more features, both big and small, than this short review can mention. Instead, it would be nice if users could use the standard Open and Save menus where I envision the software would then bring up the necessary checkout and check-in versioning dialogs. Something I’d like in future versions is not to have to use a separate checkout and check-in menu. Perhaps there should be a slightly more tiered price structure jumping from 3 to 4 users increases the cost $10,000-a bit much for a small 4- to 6-person agency. I had no problem with the software on my Mac and Windows systems within 30 minutes, I had it running and everything worked as described.Īlthough not available on the website, the basic price breakdown for 1-3 users is $250 per user with no additional charge for the server product however, for 4–25 users it’s $250 per user and $9,999 for the server product. The versions can then be compared for changes. Like Version Cue, it keeps backup versions of files as the files are checked back in (committed).
It can even produce timesheets-a great asset for a time-based agency. The Zoom 2.8 software combines project management with user access controls. The software is easy to install and set up on either Macintosh or Windows. Evolphin Zoom 2.8 fills the gap left by Version Cue’s demise-quite nicely, too. It was too hard to use for small agencies and not robust enough for large ones. Version Cue was a good idea that never took off.
