### "Great organizer"

January 8, 2025

4.0

Overall, MediaValet is a great product that helps us organize.

Pros

Really helpful for organizing all our marketing assets

Cons

Some functionality is not as easy to use as expected and I wish it had the ability to allow non-accountholders to upload items if I were to share a link for that.

### "Easy To Use and Very Help Customer Service"

March 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

Since we've launched MediaValet, we've level-ed up our digital assets maintenance and also helped open up access to them across the company. It's been a game-changer for our marketing team and has been a great way to keep everything well organized. We've also utilized the CDN linking and CI hub a lot in our projects. The customer service from our rep,\[sensitive content hidden\], to the support team has been fantastic as well. I've appreciated their thoroughness and quick response times! We've had a great experience from onboarding to using the platform for over 2 years now.

Cons

Would love for a mobile version of MediaValet. This would greatly help our sales teams use it more when on the road or working with a customer in the field.

Reason for choosing MediaValet

We were needing a system that would allow us to better organize our assets for current projects and websites. We also wanted something that would make it easy to share assets with our sales teams.

### "Highly User-Friendly Library for Managing Images and Video"

March 16, 2023

5.0

The fundamental problem we have solved is categorization and easily-accessible storage of a vast number of images of our products and capabilities coming in from a large range of sources literally around the world. A picture of a valve taken by a service person in the field in Mozambique can now be identified, categorized, described, and stored so that a senior VP in Edmonton can find it among a selection of other valve pictures, and download it for use in their presentation. Prior to MediaValet, the filing system for our 42,000-plus images was scattered among several document filing systems in several platforms across three corporations - and most often on local laptops of individuals who needed to make sure they could find what they wanted when they wanted it.

Pros

The most attractive features of MediaValet is the ease of use by anyone who wants to find a picture or video among thousands in our library. The keyword-driven search engine is the best feature of this software - the fact that it will instantly call up all images related to any word typed into the search engine makes the search process logical. The system does not need to deliver the exact photo - even a vague keyword will deliver a selection of pictures from which the user can readily pick out they need. Learning how to use it, as a user, is dead easy. Learning how to use it as a contributor requires about half an hour of training - which anyone can do. Learning how to perfect it can be left to enthusiastic detail-oriented librarian types in the organization who love the beauty of being able to fully (and I mean fully) categorize every aspect of a picture or video uploaded to MediaValet. It is intuitive and useful to ALL levels of prospective users. As a result - integration with our existing business processes was easy - but more importantly, logical and seen as an enhancement rather than "another software thing we have to learn".

Cons

There is only one thing about MediaValet that needs to be changed. An example is the best way to illustrate: If you take a picture of a piece of equipment using your iPhone, that image file is given a title by your iPhone's software - typically something like "IMG\_0341.jpg". When taking that image to upload to MediaValet, it is necessary to change the file name to something meaningful to people in the organization using a commonly-understood naming convention that makes the filename descriptive of what is in the image. This process is easily taught and understood. What MediaValet needs to address is what happens when that image is selected and downloaded for use. The filename assigned to it upon upload to MediaValet REVERTS to the original filename once downloaded. So, even though you have renamed the picture "Stream-Flo\_Wellhead\_Exxon.jpg", once you download it, it reverts to "IMG\_0341.jpg". If you are absorbed in the process of downloading several images, there is no longer any way to identify what's in each of those pictures once they are downloaded. I think once this challenge is addressed by MediaValet, the system will be darn near perfect. The way we address this now is to advise users that when they are downloading pictures, they need to write down something from the image description next to the file name so that they can identify it after download.

Reason for choosing MediaValet

It just made sense.

### "This is our first and favorite DAM"

March 11, 2022

5.0

We historically used Google Drive for all of our media storage with is wholly inadequate. By moving over to Media Valet, we are able to store a single high resolution image that can be downloaded or shared to any specification. We are working on an integration with Wagtail, our CMS, that will allow us to pull images directly into our website.

Pros

We have historically stored all of our images on Google Drive and recently moved everything over to Media Valet so it is hard to say just one thing that I like the most. The most valuable feature is that we now have a single source of truth for all of our images rather than several versions stored across several folders. When we share images with media or other users, we can share them in a format of their specification without duplicating or editing the original image. It is simply amazing.

Cons

I was pretty excited about the potential to use the branded portals but discovered that they are fairly inflexible. You can not include descriptions for the images in the gallery view and can not create any dynamic sections. I was optimistic that we would be able to use this feature to showcase galleries of images but it will not work for us for that use.

Alternatives considered

[Bynder](https://www.capterra.com/p/122257/Bynder/)

Reason for choosing MediaValet

It was a really difficult decision as both services scored highly in our internal reviews but Media Valet was significantly cheaper and was highly recommended by peers from another college.

Switched from

[Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/)

In order to share images in Google Drive, they needed to be downloaded and formatted to specification and then reuploaded and permissions would need to be set on the individual image. Often, if we were sharing a group of images, they would be duplicated and stored in another folder meaning we would have many copies of a single image stored. Search and metadata management is very difficult in Google Drive.

### "Mediavalet: The good and the not quite as good"

March 13, 2023

5.0

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.

Pros

Cognitive 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.

Cons

Not 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.

### "MediaValet es un DAM rápido, seguro y muy fácil de usar"

December 2, 2022

5.0

He probado otras soluciones similares a MediaValet para gestionar los activos digitales de la empresa, pero sin duda alguna MediaValet las supera por mucho. Simplifica el trabajo colaborativo del equipo de Marketing al mismo tiempo que podemos realizar aportes al proyextos desde distintos lugares.

Pros

Me encanta MediaValet es un gestor de activos digitales muy rápido, permite compartir archivos con el resto del equipo de trabajo y administrarlos, realizar corecciones y muchas tareas más. Además, que cuenta con una alta seguridad para proteger todo el contenido de cada proyecto.

Cons

En todo el timpo que llevo usando MediaValet no he tenido problema alguno, por el contrario todo a sido satisfactorio tanto para mí como para el equipo de Marketing de la empresa.

### " Succed the requirements"

January 25, 2017

5.0

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.

Pros

Great 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.

Cons

You 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.

### "MediaValet delivers on a great experience, cool tech and an incredible 2-way, supportive partnership"

March 1, 2019

4.0

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.

Pros

The 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.

Cons

The 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.

### "Full featured product and hands-on onboarding"

August 2, 2018

4.0

Pros

We evaluated multiple cloud-based SaaS DAM solutions and in the end they're all pretty comparable. However, MediaValet's willingness to work with our unique needs and specific, pressing timelines shone through. The journey to full onboarding isn't 100% complete (the rest is on us), but their patience, guidance and thoughtful contribution makes them feel more like a partner and less like a commodity vendor. Additionally, they've made some light configurations that felt very bespoke, and even now, months in, we have a weekly touch base call to ensure any questions are answered, and potential workflow efficiencies or features can be leveraged.

Cons

The service interface feels slightly antiquated. Perhaps due for a UX rethink soon, as their consistent roadmap of features is rolled out.

### "Beyond Impressed"

November 14, 2017

5.0

Pros

While the platform and functionality is great -- and performs every function we ever needed...and even some we didn't realize we needed until we already had them! -- it's really the outstanding customer service that brings MediaValet to the next level. We had high expectations going into our work with MediaValet, and not only have they been met but they've been exceeded beyond anything we could have imagined.

Cons

We haven't had any problems at all at this point. The biggest drawback that I could possibly think of is the time difference between ourselves and our contact at the company, but he's never let that be an issue and we've had seamless and exceptional customer service at every turn.

### "Vendor Experience is a Nightmare"

May 24, 2021

1.0

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

The search function of MediaValet is the best of any other solution I've seen. It can automatically detect colours, text and items in an asset making metadata management and searching easier.

### "Better than a shared drive"

February 22, 2019

3.0

MediaValet is a huge improvement over working with shared drives, we could never go back, the time saved searching for assets or even previewing an asset for a new project is never-ending.

Pros

MediaValet has a very good search and overall interface for finding your assets, version control is a real bonus.

Cons

We are used to some fairly simple collaboration features like mentions that would be a great addition to the platform otherwise comments just get lost and forgotten about. Ability to visually crop / resize assets before downloading the rendition would help the more non technical users in the team otherwise they need to have Adobe installed then download the original and then export the asset. You can set the dimensions on export which is great but there is no option to lock the aspect ratio which takes away from the experiance for less technical team members.

### "One of the best marketing solutions out there!"

June 3, 2019

5.0

Media Valet has been great for our business marketing. Searching for images, videos, illustrations via the various stock images sites was very time consuming. Using media valet has saved us the headache of seemingly endless searches. In addition, purchasing stock photos that may only be used a single time is expensive. Media Valet has saved us quite a bit in those fees.

Pros

Love that Media Valet saves us an enormous amount time and money! Files within are so organized that your search can be broken down by not only categories (photos, videos, logos etc) but also categories within categories! Also love that downloads of even the highest resolutions are quick and easy.

Cons

What I like least about it if I HAD to pick something would be if I have several large hi res files in a lightbox and want to download them in a zip file, it does take longer than downloading individually.
