MediaValet has saved me from the drudgery of office life. I have more time to take stunning pictures of Arkansas.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
MediaValet is a foundational tool to our enterprise, just behind my camera and computer. I have logged tens of thousands of pictures across two years. it is an invaluable tool for organizing and distributing a large collection of videos and images. It allows me and my photographic partner to populate a site used by hundreds of end users. End users find the system intuitive, and we are freed from office and distribution time to go take more stunning pictures of Arkansas.
Pros
- We love Portals, as a means of creating, editing and sending collections of pictures
- The tagging system allows for end users to find our photos, without knowing where we put them
- The system is quick
- Apart from our initial edit for size, customers gets full sized uncompressed files
Cons
- We have SO many images in the system, that sometimes our good work is buried under the average. I would like a way to bring certain images to the top of the search.
- Some search terms are not very effective because they pull up too much. For example, I need to find photos of the Arkansas River. But not every picture in our system is of a river in Arkansas! (There are ways to get around this, but it takes some extra steps.)
- We might have set up our initial structure a little differently had we known how we were going to use it. Essentially we have some pictures for insiders eyes, and some for public use. (We can separate our offerings on upload, but a toggle switch would be useful)
Most Important Features
- The ability to designate who can see what
- Batch keywording
- Portals. We love Portals.
Return on Investment
- We can download photos from anywhere. I can add, or access images from home as easily as work.
- We have literally freed a person who would be in the office to go take pictures of our beautiful state.
- The downloads are the same quality as the uploads!
Excellent platform for sharing and storing assets, it just needs to be more mobile friendly.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Send and share materials among all divisions of the company. Materials are also shared to customers and suppliers. It helps us to keep control over who has access to which folders and files, so that we can put restrictions on users who should not have access to all the information.
Another aspect that helps us a lot is the conversion of files, being able to download them in high resolution in different formats like PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.

MediaValet Makes it a Beautiful Day in Our Neighborhood!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are a small non-profit with a relatively small staff and a comparatively large number of videos. We were founded by Fred Rogers, who produced almost 1,000 episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. We now have five programs in production. Media Valet has helped us every step of the way as we migrated from a less responsive DAM to their site. We lost virtually no metadata along the way. In addition, MediaValet converted almost 3,000 video clips to the exact audio compression, frame rate, and resolution that we requested. They have always been available to answer questions and meet with us weekly to address any needs or questions that arise. They have a good product and great customer service.
Pros
- They are always seeking to improve their product.
- They respond almost immediately to questions.
- They have tailored and delivered specific training programs to address the different needs of our marketing and production departments.
- Assets upload relatively quickly.
- I have never experienced downtime when I access our DAM.
- It's an intuitive experience. It's easy to discover the logic of how and why things work the way they do.
- The staff welcomes interaction.
Cons
- We look forward to being able to edit video clips directly on the MediaValet site.
Most Important Features
- A great product
- Strong customer service
- Video intelligence
Return on Investment
- Our staff is now starting to use our DAM.
- Staff are considering monetizing some of our assets now that they see what we own.
- We can find things again.

Usability
This has really allowed us to be "easy to do business with" when it comes to working with our clients!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I really enjoy MediaValet. It is so extremely easy to use for our internal teams but also to send assets to external users. It truly helps make us easy to do business with when working with our retail partners.
Pros
- The portals make a nice one stop shop for specific iniaitivese
- Easy use of sending assets to our clients
- Easy to search for assets and also add things into categories making assets easy to fine.
Cons
- The CDN links we have been using are extremely nice but adding a "go live" date in would be a nice feature. We have large product launches where we cannot display assets until a certain date. Not having the availability to change out these asset and set a date in which we want the asset to "go-live" for a date in a future is hard.
- You can duplicate an entire portal but it would be nice to be able to duplicate sections of a portal.
Most Important Features
- Portals
- CDN links
Return on Investment
- I do not have any hard ROI numbers but it absolutely does save time and energy having this system.
Other Software Used
