  • "It makes such a difference to know that you have good support at the end of a telephone line or email service."

    Ann Neilson, University of the Highlands and Islands
  • "When we needed an off the shelf digital platform for sharing our photography we picked Thirdlight. In the 10 years since we've been able to grow and expand our service with ease. Over that whole period I can't remember having any downtime at all and any issues were addressed with speed. Being able to access all the different features of the Thirdlight product without incurring any developer or project management cost has left us able to focus on delivering our core offering."

    Jon - 50-1000 employees business user - G2 Review
  • "If you are searching for a complete digital asset management system, look no further than Third Light. Publishing files directly to social media or to unique URL's, creating Lightboxes and quickly distributing event links are just some of the ways to utilize this powerful yet simple tool! My users are thrilled with the system. I've even received emails from our IT people saying how professional the Third Light team is when their help is needed. "

    Dani Machlis, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
  • "The product itself offers exactly what we need in terms of functionality as well as in terms of look, feel, ease of use and manageability."

    Stephen Bacon, Bishops Stortford College
  • "The tool is very easy to use and has a super helpful online Google search-like manual that provides straightforward and to the point explanations. Compared to its competitors, the product seems to provide better value for less cost. It ticks all the boxes (and then some) when it comes to digital asset management. A very visual tool that allows you to store, edit, and share as a team."

    Energy sector user - G2 Review
  • "I had a training session yesterday and there was actual cheering. You guys have done a great job on the product and it's hard for people to contain their excitement."

    Dan Hilton, Phoenix Suns
  • "Third Light helps us store, organize, share, find and edit media files of all kinds. We especially like the dynamic, faceted search functionality and the very powerful metadata system."

    Hanne Marthinsen, Web Editor, MarkedsPartner AS
  • "I like the attention and personal recommendations from the customer service representatives and assistants. I am consistently impressed by the levels of service. I do not know how they manage it!"

    Ben - Head of ICT, Digital & Resources - G2 Review
  • "The software is simple, well documented and intuitive. From our initial evaluation of Chorus to onboarding and getting everything set up, the Third Light team is clearly dedicated to the quality of their products and the success of their customers. Chorus is well designed from a user standpoint without being bloated with extra features. Instead of trying to do everything, it's streamlined and focused on how we operate day to day and what it does, it does well. With the additional API module we're able to run custom scripts and integrate it with our other workflows in clever ways."

    Russ - Senior Staff Environmental Artist - G2 Review
  • "As a manager, I appreciate the reporting features – such as number of downloads each month, what the most popular files are, and who is uploading materials. The Third Light system's ability to not only upload and store raw video, but to also play it back, has increased the usage of our videos immeasurably. Our customer service calls have greatly decreased since implementing the Third Light server."

    Shawna Cronan, Digital Media Manager, Compassion International

ITV case study

"Being able to run custom metadata reports has been a huge benefit for how ITV manages its images archive. With Third Light’s media library, when we upload a photo the team is able to do a bulk metadata edit about the TV show it went out on, the date it went out on, and the platform generates a spreadsheet based on this, saving the team valuable time."

Robert Waghorn, Senior Production Technology and Applications Manager - ITV Studios
