Cloudimage vs. MediaValet

This software is well-suited when images are hosted on your own server, but it is less well suited when requiring the "full package" such as manipulations, hosting, uploader, etc.

MediaValet is an exceptional tool for our end users. We upload the images and they find them. Most often with great ease. Had we known how many images we would be adding, and our different audiences from the start, we might have set up our file structure a little differently.

• Great world-wide CDN
• Excellent image quality with extensive processing options
• Competitive pricing with progressive tiers
• Good defaults but well organized interface to configure everything precisely

• I love that we can add keywords. It makes finding assets very easy.
• I love the fact we can make lightboxes. It makes sending assets to different people easy.
• They are always adding more features to MediaValet to make it better.
• I love that we're not limited to which types of files we can upload to MediaValet.

Incentivized

• Pricing.
• Intermittent Dashboard Issues.
• Image resize traunches. So 100px windows of resizing rather than pixel-perfect rescaling to save on cache size/delivery volume.

• More flexibility/features when using Lightboxes
• Replace an old version of an asset with a newer one without having to check-out, then check-in
• Sharing an asset or a set of assets via a share link -- would be great to generate shorter, dynamic URLs for sharing as opposed to the longer string URLs it currently generates

It is not only likely, but we have been doing it for more than 6 years. We have even had the service since before I joined the company. The service works well for me and I hope that this service will continue to be renewed next year, as not having it would make my job more complicated.

New staff is able to use our DAM with an hour of training.

We have a single contact point, but CI has been immaculate with their support offering. Instantaneous and comprehensive.

The team is very responsive to requests and makes a point to provide feedback or status updates before confirming solutions.

I mainly use MediValet to send special medical images to our partners. Collaboration with other companies is very simplified through MediaValet. The qualitatively uploaded images can be excactly assigned and organised through various filters. It is much clearer and easier for our partners to understand when the images have been accurately labelled and assigned beforehand.

We chose Cloudimage for the value for money, and the ability to link with our own hosting.

Asset sharing and organization is better, more user friendly, and more appealing within MediaValet. The layout and flexibility give these portals a much more professional look and feel. Both internally and externally we have appreciated the output of these specific portals much more than what we had been attempting to share with these other programs.

Incentivized

• Same or lower cost as before and more possibilities than before
• Using a GDPR respecting, European (French) based company
• Using more features like watermarking, fallback image, precise 404 handling

Incentivized

• While we have had MediaValet only for a short period, we are already seeing improvements in how quickly certain projects can be completed.
• I recently created an Annual Report which had a lot of big image files and data tables and using a Lightbox with our design agency to share these files saved us a huge amount of time.
• As we roll out MediaValet to the teams, staff are becoming more aware of the quality, amount, and value of our best assets.
