    Contentful
    It's a great all rounder for content projects. It's easy in the basics and powerful in the complex, data heavy scenarios. Extending the platform is straightforward and the SDK gives you everything you need. If you have many many varying content types , it gets expensive and perhaps not the best choice .

    MediaValet is well suited for DAM specific use cases, it provides robust features and functionality for sorting, segmenting and searching data so team members can easily access what they are looking for without knowing the platform. We find our Sales and Marketing teams both love this software for keeping marketing assets properly organized and available on demand whenever it's needed. This DAM solution is one of the most advanced out there and well suited for large teams looking to break silos.

    Pros
    Contentful
    • Flexible. This CMS can be easily extended and provide access to dynamic content
    • Simple. The WYSWG is very easy to work with and identifying pages and content in the system is fairly easy
    • Clean Interface. The interface is clean and uncluttered keeping focus on the content and not other factors.

    • 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
    Contentful
    • Contentful uses "references" to allow you to build very modular content. If I have a "slider" content type, I can create a "slide" content type which references a "button" content type, and so forth. This works well, but I occasionally wish there was a better solution for one-off content, like a settings page. Currently, this is done for creating an entire content type called "settings" with a single entry. Not a big deal, but not ideal, either.
    • There are a few quirks with GatsbyJS integration, etc, but these issues are being fixed and improved upon very quickly.
    • A minor gripe, but Contentful does not have a way to organize fields within an entry. Entries with many fields are somewhat tiresome to scroll through.

    • I would love to have an improved MediaValet app. People send me pictures to my phone that need to go into the DAM, and it would be easier for me to upload from my phone rather than email to myself and then upload on the computer.
    • I would love to see upload dates displayed when searching for photos to add to the Portals I create.
    • I wish the delete feature didn't delete ALL of the pictures, even when they're in different categories.
    • It would be cool to somehow integrate MediaValet as a folder on the computer like dropbox.

    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.

    Usability
    Contentful
    It is a very easy to use and configure application. I find that it is on the user to manage the content after the models have been created, yet I still do not encounter issues finding or creating new components for our site. It is easy to set up and easy to navigate.

    I gave MediaValet a 7 for overall usability because it is reliable and effective once you’re familiar with it, but it has a learning curve. The platform is powerful and well suited for managing large volumes of assets, but the interface can feel complex at times and some common actions take more steps than expected. With simpler navigation and a smoother onboarding experience for new users, usability could be even stronger.

    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.

    Easy to use and much more organized as a single platform versus multi. The layout is clean and easy to read and we don’t have to worry about certain users safe guarding data or content then losing it when they leave the company. It’s a one stop shop for imagery

    MediaValet is much better and easier to use than File Explorer. MediaValet lets us search for photos, control who can access them, and not worry about our assets being deleted at random. This is critical for a government organization that oftentimes needs to search for assets from the distant past. MediaValet makes it much easier to tag our photos, add post dates, and set usage rights for each photo.

    Return on Investment
    Contentful
    • Contentful has saved us valuable development time that was previously spent doing deploys for minor content updates.
    • Contentful has helped us maintain consistent documentation, reducing time needed to review for consistency.
    • Can't say we've really experienced any negative ROI impacts from using Contentful, but we've run into some limitations in adding too many content models and the next pricing tier is substantially more expensive.

    • 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.
