    Both are distribution portal offerings from Adobe. 

    Medium blog here : https://medium.com/@digarg/ch-vs-asc-aem-assets-distribution-portal-95a9e5a9468b

    Content hub - Only available for Cloud service , uses latest tech stack , much more modern UI , latest offering , has dynamic facets and filters , navigation links can be configured , No publishing needed , no hassle of replication which can cause performance bottlenecks with large replication sets - just based on dam:status ="approved" the asset is available via delivery tier AND URL is based on asset id. There is no separate binary copy for CH . This uses algolia search for search.

    Brand portal - very old offering, available for both cloud , AMS/On-prem AEM  , comes with Old touch UI , uses replication to push assets to brand portal and can have performance issues. There is a possibility that this offering may get deprecated. URL of asset is path based . There is a binary copy also on Brand portal.Uses AEM lucene search.

      @digarg17 Does Content hub provides Asset sourcing flow to allow business partners to source assets into DAM, similar to Brand Portal asset sourcing?

        hi @digarg17 

         

        Few questions.

         

        1. Is it possible to create folders in content hub ?
        2. Is it possibe to have alias url for content hub ?

        No to both currently unfortunately.  Couple of other callouts on asset uploads in content hub currently:

         

        1. User needs to have an AEM license to upload assets in ContentHub.  So this isn't a 1:1 replacement for brand portal asset sourcing and isn't a solution for external vendors.

        2. Assets uploaded through contenthub go into a temp folder inside AEM and you will want either some sort of automation or business process that moves the assets to its final location

          @digarg17 both serves different use cases 

          - Content Hub : is centralized content access flow where hub is connected to to external content repository like, S3, Google etc , end customers are internal enterprise users and hub support enterprise content management needs.

           

          - Brand portal " is more of self-service controlled flow for approved asset   and end customer is external users - i don't think it will be deprecated as it server other use cases

            @riteshy18  : No I disagree , what you are referring to is 'Assets view ' also new assets UI .Content hub is for end user distribution portal as described above.

             

            Assets view : https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/assets-view/navigate-assets-view

              @digarg17  clarification,  i did not mention anything about asset view in my comments so in think I'm afraid I have to disagree with your comment -
