Our sports club has been using Piwigo since the end of 2014 and we are very happy with it. We have replaced another software that was much more complicated to use. Our photo archive has become an indispensable part of our club life, as it allows us to make pictures of sporting events available to members. It is particularly important that we can regulate the authorization and thus the access to the photos very well via groups and that the various members only have access to events for which they are authorized. This is super easy to manage by dividing the system into different albums. The system is always available, easy to use after a short training period and self-explanatory in many places. As far as service is concerned, I have to say that in the past almost all problems and queries have been solved quickly and easily. I am very happy to recommend Piwigo.

We opted for Piwigo because it seemed to be a flexible solution that met our needs without being very expensive. We're delighted and have been able to measure the difference: before, for the production of our brochure in 2020, we had to exchange HD files by transfer... a real pain. Now, as soon as I buy photos, I enter them into Piwigo with all the information relating to the project, and we share the photo library with the graphic designers. This time we didn't waste any time and we managed the iconographic part of our new brochure really well.

Feeding an online photo library was a real challenge for us! The platform is fun, ergonomic and compatible with our other software. A real time saver, a success!

When we had to change the university's existing photo library solution in a hurry, Piwigo seemed a good compromise. We needed a solution that was quick and easy to set up, enabling us to technically manage a large image database with indexing, metadata management and search capabilities akin to an EDM or DAM solution, a real publishing and sharing interface with access rights management, operational interfacing with the school's information system and seamless integration into my Lightroom workflow. After two years, Piwigo has given us a great deal of satisfaction, far beyond the transitional solution we expected. Although the DAM functions still need to be enhanced, the flexibility provided by the customization and plug-in system and the open source development mode make it a scalable, adaptable and robust solution, capable of elegantly covering the essentials.
