While informative, they provide little insight.

Almost all are backward looking. 

Lack of personalization options when it came to content surfacing.

Few if any external automation connectors are available.

Workflows required human set up.

Utilize static rule sets that required a manual process to complete at the margins.

Unclear as to what content a DAM could and could not handle,

Functionality (if any) was often limited for new content types.

Limited to single instance, multi tennent configurations. One-size fits all

Limited industry specific options if any

Configuration, if available, was completed  through a technical interface that require expert services.

Non existent in traditional DAM

Many of these capbilities were built after the fact as an add-on rather than incorporated into the platform to drive value.

Manual efforts to optimize and allocate storage effectively. All compliance, retenetion, and even basic management / monitoring was a manual process.

Limited redundancy options.

Limited vendor availability

Have either prolonged down time or cause existing work flows / integrations to break.

In some cases traditional DAMs are often part of larger offerings, limiting ecosystem integration and forcing users to settle for suboptimal tech stacks.

Greater scalability with reduced flexibility that is more costly to extend and integrate costly solutions that are difficult to upgrade but can meet their needs.

True SaaS with limited scale and easy to extend / integrate. This posses problems for orgs as they grow / have changing requirements.

Piurpose built APIs only with limited depth and configurability. One-size fits all.

Designed for on-premise deployment, making cloud migration challenging and increasing maintenance risks.

Prioritize UI over APIs, leading to a confusing API structure and inaccessible features via API.

Tightly coupled, no use of microservices which limits scalability and complicates maintenance.
