I agree about trying ACDSee.
We wrote a review of it that explains how to use it as a management program
and includes screen captures:

Personally, I use it as a viewer. And to drag and drop images into
Photoshop from my second monitor.
When scanning, I have it open to the folder I'm scanning to and set on
Auto-Refresh. As each image is scanned, it pops open in ACDSee on my second
monitor.
I never even considered it as a data base program until I had to write
about it and found it easy to set up key words and to sort images. Though I
still only use it as a viewer because every job gets the clients name and
date on the folder.
