About

Hightail by OpenText is a cloud-based collaboration platform designed to simplify creative workflows. It allows users to securely share large files and track exactly when recipients access them. Teams can collect feedback in one place, ensuring everyone works from the latest version and reducing unnecessary review rounds. With built-in project management features, creative assets, approvals, and decisions can be organized in a single workspace. Hightail also integrates seamlessly with tools like Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and Adobe Creative Cloud to keep teams working smoothly. The platform ultimately helps creative professionals move from first draft to final approval faster and with greater clarity.

About

Playbook is an AI-native digital asset management (DAM) platform for creative teams, agencies, and brand teams. Store, organize, search, and collaborate on photos, videos, design files, and brand assets — all in one place. Key features: AI-powered auto-tagging and Smart Search (find assets by natural language, color, or visual similarity), boards and collections for visual organization, review and approval workflows, branded client delivery portals, and a brand portal for sharing guidelines and assets externally. Includes SDK, API, and MCP server for custom integrations. Free plan includes 100GB and up to 300 assets. Teams and above get 5TB+ storage. Built for teams of 5–200 who've outgrown Google Drive or Dropbox but find enterprise DAMs like Bynder or Brandfolder too complex and expensive.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We moved to Playbook from Air.inc after dealing with frequent partial outages, rising costs, and a platform that felt increasingly resistant to feature requests and improvements. The difference in value has been substantial. Playbook offers an incredible balance of functionality, stability, and affordability, especially for companies managing large amounts of creative and marketing assets like we do at Outdoor Living Today. One of the biggest strengths of Playbook has been the responsiveness of the team. Since we joined, the platform has continued to evolve with meaningful updates and new features. While there were a few things Air previously offered that Playbook initially lacked, the Playbook team has been highly receptive to feedback, quick to answer questions, and willing to implement feature requests. Another major positive for us has been team collaboration. The platform is fluid, easy to work within, and for the most part it simply works — which is exactly what you want from a DAM platform. Our team uses it every single day internally, and we also rely on it heavily with external partners. Aside from some UI challenges, the overall collaboration experience has been smooth and dependable for a small-to-medium-sized team like ours. For us, the priorities are stability, value, and responsiveness to customer concerns — and Playbook has delivered on all three.

Cons

  • The biggest area for improvement is the UI/UX. At times the interface can feel a bit cluttered, and some workflows could be simplified further. Certain actions, like stacking items or downloading assets, can occasionally become messy or unintuitive — for example, downloads sometimes pull every version of an asset rather than the specific one intended. To their credit, the UI has already improved noticeably since we started using the platform, and it’s clear the team is actively refining it. We have also encountered the occasional bug, but in our experience these issues were addressed quickly and resulted more in minor delays than any meaningful operational impact.
