Zach Y
VP / COO
3.0

Zach Y.: Hi, my name is Zach. I am the creative director of my company. I would give MediaValet a three out of five stars. And for more reviews like this, click the link below. Before using MediaValet, we were using just a run of the mill FTP server. It was a bit clunky. Sometimes it wouldn't connect right. It was hard to have communication that was consistent back and forth with the client, and sometimes there would just be a lot more effort just to send them a file. So moving to MediaValet, it seemed like it was going to be a lot more streamlined. MediaValet allowed it a much more branded portal. It was really easy to show off our own brand and the brand of our clients within the portal itself. It didn't just look like a bunch of command prompt texts, like the FTP site. And then in addition to that, there was things like password protection links, and all right, here's an expiration date for this file so that you only have access for this amount of time. So there was just a lot more customization options available. MediaValet was fairly simple to get started with. You get your own login, access password, et cetera. I wish there was a little bit more options for setting up other members of your team, rather than just having to have a corporate login. But beyond that, it was fairly easy. So if you're looking to get MediaValet, it offers a great branded portal when you're uploading a lot of files to one central space. One thing to look out for is that if you are inviting an outside collaborator, someone who isn't part of your organization, sometimes there can be some bugs when they are trying to upload files. Sometimes it can take three, four or five times to actually get it to come through. But for internal stuff, it works great.

Director

Dave C.: Hi, my name is Dave and I'm a director of a design agency. And today, I'll be reviewing Air, which I give four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click the link below. Before using Air, I used a variety of different image and file tools that allow me to store them, including Dropbox, but the problem with these tools is that you wouldn't allow you to search and sort visually and that's what I really love about Air. What I love about Air is that you can view your visual assets on a Kanban Board. So let's say if you're trying to work on a project and you're moving images through stages, it's great for that. It has really great search functionality, so if you have a lot of assets you can find them very quickly and you can even tag those assets. Finally, if you are working with clients, you can actually comment on the images, so both parties can really get a sense of, very quickly, if you need to change something or to modify it. It just makes it really easy. Getting started with Air Labs is really quick. You can pretty much just setup an account and you're ready to rock within five to 10 minutes. It's really easy. If you want to try out Air, I recommend basically the free plan. It's really eat generous. They give you a fair amount of storage with it and allow you to most of the features, so I think it's a great way to test it out.
