Basic sharing with Picasa is free and easy to use, but large volumes can get costly and a little slow. There are large numbers of users and the response can be quite slow. For a beginner it may be one of the best solutions out there, but more advanced users will find a lot of missing options.

Organizing a large volume of photos will not be easy or inexpensive. It is simple to get started and the sharing options are good.

Picasa is updated frequently and may require re-initialization of your DB with each update.

In summary its worth a try for new users and those with smaller volumes may find it very satisfactory.

In summary, I would recommend Picasa from Google to a friend.

I have used Picasa for many years and been a very happy customer/supporter recommending it often. The editing software is easy to use and satisfactory for people not wanting to spend hours on their PC. The web sharing application was well integrated and also easy to use and share. Earlier this year (2012), Google released a new version of the product that integrates the web sharing with Google+. I have no problem with the concept, but the implementation is flawed. I have quit Google+ and am trying to use an older version of the web sharing functions, but there are major security issues. I recommend Picasa only if you are not interested in web sharing.

As a consequence, I'm looking for an alternative to Picasa, and I am very pleased to find this site to help me.

In summary, I would recommend Picasa from Google to a friend.

Very pleased. at the beginning had some problems downloading the photos - unfortunately if you try downloading them in their original size it will take you forever.. so you need to remember to choose the option for smaller resolution. also, it's much faster if you use the software on your computer vs trying to download them directly on the site.

In summary, I would recommend Picasa from Google to a friend.
