For images alone, I am using Canto Cumulus. I run that locally on my machine only. This gives me the ability to organize groups of images into collections and catalogs and view/print these groups as needed.
And I like Photoshop's File Browser too (locally, that will do almost everything that DAMs do)
More Info:
If you're just talking about images you have several big choices. First I recmd that you initially decide on two things:
1- price, they can get very expensive very fast.
2- will this be running on a server or locally.
Low End:
Canto Cumulus
Portfolio
Artesia
High End:
MediaBeacon
Flexstor
Full Workflow:
Xinet WebNative
Helios WebShare
(Those are more than you need)
Most of the robust solutions will run best on on a Unix server or Apple's OSX server (unix).
If you have more specific questions, please feel free to give me a call. Previous to my current position, I have used and deployed many of these systems for different creative and graphics customers. Also be advised: For the larger systems, most are bundled with "upgrade" and "service packages" that will be 15-20% of the purchase price per year (or sometimes per license).
