Nothing but positive things to say about our first 6 months or so working with MediaValet!
The biggest benefit is overall increased productivity in multiple ways. It makes several tasks easier, and it's changing the way our teams store and manage content. For many older users, this is their first foray into the cloud! The intuitive layout is great.
PROSThis personally has really changed the way I organize things, and I can already tell it's beginning to make some light bulbs flash for a few coworkers too. We've rolled this out to a team of 150+ who have never had access to something like this before. All feedback has been positive. Lots of potential moving forward.
CONSCloud software is maybe more prone to issues and downtime then most of the fully offline Apple, Adobe and MS platform applications I use regularly. There have been a few hiccups, may take a day or two sort out, but it's never been a major problem! To be expected for the most part.

Succed the requirements
We have a lot of employees who work from two computers, and by having their information in Mediavalet they can synchronize their laptops and their computers, reducing the need for the technical department to offer a solution to synchronize multiple devices. Charge of it Some of them we did like, but there would have to be equipment that was brought in to hold the assets and such, which would be ok, but then we would have to maintain the equipment. And then if there is an equipment issue we would likely have to wait for a representative to come fix it and hope it works. Just too much hassle for something we basically wanted to put assets on and keep them there for distribution.
PROSGreat for Share one folder at a time. - Application Smart to upload files. - Gallery of Photos online. - Send the link To download any file quickly. - Interface Clean. - Versions of archive. - Integration Excellent with the operating system. Has a disc Virtual hard work where you can work freely, in almost any Computer, you only need an internet access account. - Can Share files with anyone without needing to be added to the mail. - The folders Shared can only be seen by people you invite. - Being a Online service you can access the files from any pc by entering account.
CONSYou can only synchronize what is inside the folder that is created automatically. When sharing files you should not work on it at the same time as it creates conflict and duplicates the file.

Vendor Experience is a Nightmare
I interact with MediaValet as a vendor, and it can be quite a nightmare. Our company usually has large amounts of media that have to be uploaded at a time (multiple photoshoots, videos, etc), and I always feel like I'm playing Russian Roulette when uploading to MediaValet. Sometimes, my upload finishes in minutes. But more often than not, it will take hours for it to upload, only to be met by an "error" message at the end, or have my files stuck in an endless "processing period." I've wasted so many hours uploading overnight, only to have to do it again the next day. Granted, I can only speak to my experience from the vendor side, not the user side, but I would NOT recommend this to anyone wanting to impress or improve the quality of life for vendors.
PROS* The interface has a clean aesthetic * The option for password-protected links * The ability to access online
CONS* Uploading as a vendor can be confusing and frustrating * Uploading server often fails or crashes when working with larger files * "Error" or "Still Processing" screens are common with upload of larger files * The organization of uploaded files is not intuitive

Quality content
I am amazed by the convenience it brings to our lives, I have been using it for a long time and recommend it to my colleagues.
PROSOverall I saved time and money. Finding and accessing files is very easy, you can categorize everything.
CONSIt would be really helpful to download all the marked ones at once instead of downloading them one by one.

Mediavalet: The good and the not quite as good
99.9% satisfied. We spent alot of time testing asset management softwares. We tried to break them and make them mess up on purpose to find their shortcomings. As we know shortcomings are time and energy draining. In working with MediaValet we tried to break it and it was difficult and mostly unsuccessful (which is a good thing). MediaValet is a solid digital asset management system.
PROSCognitive metadata is a game changer. It is surprisingly accurate and you don't have to enter keywords if you don't want to because Cognitive Metadata creates some for you. Making different categories and groups of images is useful when needing to send sets of commonly used images. And making lightboxes is great for sharing or making personally used collections.
CONSNot being able to create a Lightbox on the fly is slightly annoying. You have to create it first, then search and select images for a Lightbox. It would be nice to be able to search and create a lightbox from the selected images instead.

Much easier to share files within team
I work for a large healthcare marketing system. We have a fairly large marketing team spread across 2 states. When it comes to sharing resources, Media Valet has been a great asset. We can post a photo to MV and then our graphic designers can download it to do their production work. It has reduced the number of phone calls and back and forth emails when looking for a photo or other element. It has created a 'one-stop shopping' environment for our team.
PROSEase of use. The ability for the entire team to access and grab what they need.

The best tool for marketing, PR and creative professionals
I quickly learned how to use the tool and in a short time I realized how much I needed it all my life. It's the first company in which I work that makes use of MediaValet. It saves my life even at home when I need any assets quickly.
PROSThe facility to organize, fetch, access, download and share media files. This saves a lot of time (and free space on the computer!)
CONSSometimes the download can be very slow, even if the navigation is running smoothly. Plus, it's not so intuitive to anyone who's getting started.

The easy way to get organized
It's becoming easier and easier the more we add to our library to tag and find what we have. We want everyone who uses Mediavalet in our organization to feel they know how to find what they are looking for and explore our collections.
PROSMediavalet is great for organizations with a lot of digital assets to store and access. Before Mediavalet, we were using a big drive where nothing was easy to find. You had to know exactly when something was taken and then guess where it might have been stored. It was difficult to discover what was hiding in our own assets library. With mediavalet, we can see what we have, see details, and tag our pictures as we grow to make our catalog searchable.
CONSI wish there was a visual representation of how much space we are using. I also wish that it moved slightly faster, though I know there are a lot of assets. I wish that there wasn't a button to upload immediately before adding tags because sometimes I accidentally click it and I can't add tags to that batch without finding which ones they were, clicking them, and adding the tag after. It also might be nice to have a list of suggested tags

MediaValet delivers on a great experience, cool tech and an incredible 2-way, supportive partnership
Simply put: before MediaValet we had no Golden Master of any of our published resources. We now do, and so much more. The service has ensured we have a "safety net" in case anything catastrophic happens to our onsite data, we've realized time efficiencies knowing we have a great system of record and we're just starting to roll it out to the greater organization for consumption.
PROSThe negotiation and onboarding process was done in a very cooperative manner, and they were very good at dealing with some very tight timelines for the initial setup! As well, we had an abnormal ask for a particular project that they were not expecting but worked with us to develop a solution for. Since then, they have worked with us and our security teams to ensure the experience not only uncompromisingly delivers their core functionality, but also meets our security team's needs.
CONSThe interface feels sturdy and works well, but doesn't feel overly "cutting edge". All-in-all not a game changer, but sometimes a dated UI/Design can introduce unintentional barriers to adoption or advocacy.

Global platform increasing efficiency, sales and digital access control. A win-win for all!
With over 25,000 digital assets currently in my organizations library, this platform increased the ease of searching for specific and relevant assets to better their daily performance. From operations to sales, MediaValet has made our company better! The single best thing about MediaValet is that it's global and accessible in China.
CONSThis is truly being picky, but product development could be a bit faster. My team is constantly providing feedback about the need for increased mobile friendliness, self-reporting functions and lastly better data tracking/impressions.

The Best DAM Tool Around
MediaValet has been an incredible tool to have under our belt. We were able to bring our assets from a Google Drive folder (read: an unorganized mess) to an amazingly organized, well-structured system that everyone can use. Users have adapted the tool quickly and love that they can find the assets they need, when they need them. Our senior management team also loves it too because they can see reports of whose using the tool and which assets are being download the most, in order to make more informed decisions. MediaValet has been the perfect tool for us, and if you're serious about Digital Asset Management it might be the perfect tool for you too.
