Widen Media Collective and 20 other DAM vendors were ranked by customer satisfaction (based on user reviews) and market presence (based on market share, vendor size, and social impact). This was the first G2 Crowd report in which any DAM vendors earned the title "Leader."

The G2 Crowd Grid(SM) represents the democratic voice of real software users, rather than the subjective opinion of one analyst. G2 Crowd rates digital asset management products algorithmically based on data sourced from product reviews shared by G2 Crowd users and data aggregated from online sources and social networks. Technology buyers can use the Grid(SM) to help them quickly select the best digital asset management product for their business and to find peers with similar experiences.

With 96 user reviews, Widen Media Collective received a higher volume of reviews than any other DAM vendor. The platform earned a Satisfaction score of 98, besting the other Leader by 18 points. In addition, Widen earned an overall G2 Score of 74, nine points ahead of the nearest competitor. G2 Crowd notes that Widen moved from a High Performer in Spring 2015 to a Leader in Spring 2016 because its market presence increased by 15 points.

"G2 Crowd's recent digital asset management report features Widen Media Collective as the highest rated product on the grid," said Marty Duffy, director of research for G2 Crowd. "Verified user-reviews report that Widen provides helpful, responsive and prompt customer support, which is reflected in their high satisfaction scores in the Spring 2016 report. These users also identified the search functionality and ease of sharing assets as highlights of the product."
