Likelihood to Recommend It is well suited for billing service storage and retrieval. It ends the need to pay extra for a storage space. It also makes for easy cleanup of files on a yearly basis.

Read full review 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.
Read full review Pros Templates - By being able to create templates for each document type, it made organizing files much easier. It also made the titles similar in format, which also allows for better organization. We were able to scan documents directly into docStar, which helped us eliminate extra steps. For example, if we were missing a page from a document, and we received it at a later time, we could scan just that page into docStar as opposed to scanning the entire document again. The functionalities are straight forward, so it is not hard to use the docStar system. Read full review 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. Read full review Cons Cost is an issue, pricey for what it's essentially glorified cloud storage. No ability to lookup vehicles by stock number or phone number. Read full review 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 Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.

Read full review The team is very responsive to requests and makes a point to provide feedback or status updates before confirming solutions.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered A former employee of our company chose DocStar after much research and Q&A with the DocStar seller. I believe she truly put a lot of time/effort into choosing this system, but the end result is that it is not a good match for our company. After reviewing her notes, I believe she chose the system due to its ability to be customized through the template system
Read full review 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.
Read full review Return on Investment We have saved almost 10,000 dollars a year just in toner cost. We had to implement some up front cost for tablets and other computer aspects but the initial cost of this was about 3,000 to 4,000 dollars. docStar has saved us an instrumental amount of money and will so in the future as well. Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
