User Testimonials

“I just completed the Beta testing for Agave64 on the Windows 7 platform. Before my photography days, I spent 10 years in software engineering in the high tech industry, and I have to say, Agave64 is one of the most efficient, user-friendly, and robust software programs I’ve come across in my time.  With strong attention to the details, Randy has packaged a number of time-saving upgrades for a software program that already perfectly matched the needs of photographers in the stock photography business. 

Being deeply entrenched in the editorial and stock photography markets, it would be difficult - if not impossible - to organize and keep track of all of my digital AND film photos, photo submissions, invoices, and usage restrictions without Agave64. Simply put, I couldn’t do business without Agave64!  Other software programs out there have bits and pieces of functionality available, but Agave64 packages the entire process in one location. Agave64 has everything I need to do stock photography submissions start to finish.

As with prior editions, I continue to be impressed with the accuracy and extensiveness of the online Help for Agave64. It's hard to get good support these days, and Randy provides only the best!!”
Colleen Miniuk-Sperry, CMS Fine Art Photography


"I’ve been using Agave for 10 years now and think it’s the best photo management program available. Now that I’ve been shooting exclusively digital, I rely on Agave for both my film and digital library and find it’s easier to keep track of both libraries using one program. For digital images I like how Agave will process the prepared tiff’s and create a file number along with a low res. jpeg and then place them in a folder with a new ID#. It will show up in the Fotofile along with my film images and automatically create a thumbnail too.
Charles Lawsen, Phoenix, AZ


I have been a user of AgaveSPS for at least 8 years. In that time I have accumulated a database of around 130,000 images which Agave handles just fine. About 4 years ago I completely switched to digital with no problems what so ever.  The great thing is that I have a searchable database from the descriptions originally entered in Agave which Agave then exported to the image's metadata fields.

I use both Windows and Mac. I kept a Windows computer around for years but now with a MacPro, running XP in Parallels I can run AgaveSPS right along side of my RAW file processing software just like it was a Mac program. The neat thing is I can enter new labels at the same time as I rename the photos (in my Raw processing software) from a day of shooting even if they are different subjects. Using a duel monitor setup I can easily work between the two programs.”
Doyle Yoder, DYP inc., Millersburg, Ohio

“Agave SPS is an outstanding program for ease of use. I am amazed by the program's nimble ability to cope with the many complexities of stock photography.  Agave SPS is a real joy to use.
Tom Danielsen, Images of Natural History, Phoenix, AZ

If you are looking for a Windows based solution, look no further. Agave is the full meal deal. Image database, client databased, delivery memos, invoices, financial tools, the list goes on and on. If you are looking for Stock Photo Management this is your saviour. Just another happy customer!”
Mark Augustowich, Manitoba, Canada

It's wonderful to have software that does one thing extremely well. I feel like it was designed exactly for me, unlike those other hideous database programs. The rarely needed support is wonderful and prompt. Agave pays for itself instantly.
Colin McKay Photography, Flagstaff, AZ

“I sincerely admire the work you did at putting together a software as competent, complete and reliable as Agave and I really wish it became the #1 stock photo management program in Europe. It is so vastly superior to all its competitors!

Moreover the support and assistance that you provide is really unique and is by itself worth buying the software.”
Stefano Crosio, Rome, Italy

I have used other software programs in the past, but in a few minutes after installing Agave, I knew this was going to move my photography business up quite a few notches from where it was.  Agave seems bullet-proof and getting a hold of Randy is a snap!

“Your Agave Photo program is truly a God send! It's easy to understand and use, and now I can keep track my images and clients like never before. It saves me so much time, I can't believe I ever ran my business without it. I highly recommend Agave to any photographer wanting to be more efficient and organized. This is the best business tool you could invest in.”
Dennis Flaherty, Bishop, CA

“Agave!  Great program!  Fantastic technical support! Agave is the most powerful, efficient and effective stock photo management system available.”
Larry Ulrich Stock Photography, Inc., Trinidad, CA

“To be sure, there isn't a day I work in the office that I don't at some time give thanks for Agave...your periodic upgrades earn you high marks from all the users I know. My personal feeling is that your best days (with Agave) are still ahead.
George Stocking, Phoenix, AZ

“I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for a great program. I've been using Agave for a few months now and I tell you I wish I had purchased it a long time ago. Anyway better late than never.
Adam Gibbs, Burnaby, British Columbia

“I work in the healthcare industry with database management and query language. My passion is landscape photography. I know how much work it is to write and maintain a database. After spending about 30 hours creating my own and not being any where near complete, I realized that the purchase price for Agave SPS was actually inexpensive. I had always struggled with filing and then finding my slides and negatives. I had tried another slide labeling program with limited capabilities. When I checked out Agave SPS, I found a database that I could live with and would provide easy searches complete with thumbnail images. I highly recommend this software to any photographer who wants to track and find the submission status, notes, dates, technical data, print labels, and the list goes on.

As an added plus, you will receive personal support for life and quick responses to your questions from the photographers / programmers at Rosette Software.
Kurt Drawz, Flagstaff, AZ

"Great programme and briliant support."
Nigel Keel, U.K.

“In regards to Agave I would like to say that after reading every review and thread that I could find on slide management programs I decided on your system some years back. I could not be more pleased with it's ease of use and capabilities.

Geoff Lawrie, Brisbane, Australia
