Keepeek DAM review: fit, pricing model and integrations

What Keepeek is

Keepeek is a digital asset management platform from Keepeek SAS, registered in Paris in 2008 and founded by Thomas Larzilliere. Keepeek sells three products.

Fact: Papirfly Group acquired Keepeek in May 2023 and stated a plan to integrate Papirfly features with the Keepeek DAM. Keepeek now presents itself as "a Papirfly group brand", and the Keepeek help centre redirects to the Papirfly and Keepeek Help Center.

Where Keepeek fits

Keepeek fits the DAMSelection segment of European specialists: buyers who weigh data residency, local support and specific industries. DAMSelection places Keepeek there because of its French legal entity, French hosting statement and Paris and Rennes offices.

DAMSelection assessment: Keepeek suits a buyer with these conditions.

• A French or French-speaking organisation that wants hosting and support in France.
• A retail or consumer goods team that publishes product media to Akeneo, commercetools or GS1 GDSN through AGENA3000.
• A marketing team that wants DAM and template-based local adaptation from one supplier.

DAMSelection assessment: another segment fits better when security review demands a vendor-held ISO 27001 or SOC 2 report, or when the buyer needs hosting outside Europe. Keepeek's parent also sells its own brand platform, profiled at Papirfly. Read the Keepeek vs Wedia comparison and the vendor directory for other options.

How Keepeek covers the core DAM jobs

Keepeek documents capabilities across all four core DAM jobs, with the most detail on renditions and product media.

• Ingest and renditions: Keepeek lists dynamic resizing, and an optional Microsoft Azure space stores large files. The AI page markets automatic renditions and a duplicate manager without availability labels.
• Metadata and search: Keepeek describes a configurable metadata model and AI auto-tagging that generates tags at import.
• Workflow and rights: Keepeek lists workflows, access rights and usage analytics. Facial recognition supports consent management under GDPR as an optional add-on.
• Distribution and sharing: Keepeek offers a brand portal, a content picker and CDN delivery, with Akamai, Amazon CloudFront and Cloudflare in its integrations catalogue.

Media quality control, also an add-on, checks resolution, framing and file size and blocks non-compliant media before publication.

Product content and PIM integration

Keepeek publishes its own Akeneo app, the Keepeek DAM App for Akeneo PIM, on the Akeneo App Store. The listing names Keepeek as publisher, labels the app Beta and lists no price. The Fit Map rates it level 4, with an asset picker and two-way metadata sync.

Keepeek states that media added or changed in Keepeek appears in Akeneo in real time, with dynamic thumbnails and only validated media. The app store listing also refers to two-way metadata synchronisation. The integrations catalogue adds Contentserv, Centric Software PLM, CI-HUB and AGENA3000. Check depth levels in the PIM and DAM Fit Map and read the Akeneo integration guide.

Hosting, security and contract checks

Keepeek states that the platform runs on a French private cloud with a fully redundant physical architecture, clustered applications and a daily full backup. Keepeek names no certification for its own platform on the pages reviewed.

DAMSelection assessment: the three Keepeek hosting statements fit together. The platform runs on a French private cloud, which falls inside the "hosted in Europe" claim on the home page. Microsoft Azure storage serves a connected space for large files, and the Azure pages name no region. Confirm the details with the security review guide and these checks:

• The hosting provider, data centre locations and backup site, plus the Azure region for large-file storage.
• Any ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certificate held by Keepeek SAS or Papirfly Group, with scope.
• Where AI tagging, facial recognition and translation run, and the sub-processor list.
• Change-of-control, roadmap and data return clauses, drafted with the contract clauses guide.

The data residency glossary entry defines the terms to use.

What to test in a scripted demo

Keepeek's demo should prove hosting location, Akeneo depth and the add-on AI modules on your own assets. Use the DAM demo script and run these tests.

1. Show the infrastructure diagram and name the data centres for primary data, backups and AI processing.
2. Import 200 of our product images and show auto-tagging, duplicate alerts and bulk correction of tags.
3. Run media quality control on 50 images with known defects and show which ones are blocked.
4. Link 50 images to SKUs through the Akeneo app, change one image in Keepeek and show the update in Akeneo.
5. Build a brand portal for an external agency and show the rights an agency user holds.
6. Adapt one template for three markets and export print and web formats.
7. Export 500 assets with full metadata in an open format.

Pricing questions to ask

Keepeek publishes no prices, so the five-year cost depends on scope. Pricing depends on the solutions chosen (DAM, templates or both) and company size, and contracts typically start with a 12-month term. Model the quote in the TCO calculator.

• Which features sit in the base licence, and what facial recognition and media quality control cost as add-ons.
• How storage, large-file storage and CDN traffic are metered.
• What the Akeneo app costs once the Beta label is removed.
• What renewal caps apply after the first 12-month term.

Worked example: a team that adds both add-on modules in year two pays for them over four of five years. Ask Keepeek for a five-year quote with add-ons priced per year.
