Frontify vs. MediaValet

Simple and straightforward to understand, usable without much introduction, even for users without much prior knowledge. Helps us enormously, the image database saves us so much time and nerves. Before, we always had to search for a picture for a very long time, now it's super fast thanks to keywords.

MediaValet is well suited for organizations that need a centralized place to manage and share a large volume of marketing assets across multiple teams or locations. It works especially well when brand consistency is important and when assets need to be shared with outside vendors or partners.
It is less appropriate for very small teams with minimal assets or simple storage needs, where a basic file-sharing tool may be sufficient. It can also feel like more than what’s needed if teams are not actively tagging or organizing assets, since the value comes from consistent usage and upkeep.

• 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

Frontify is very easy to use and makes updating information a breeze. Frontify acts a central location to house assets and information for easy sharing. You can plug and play information and even white label the guide if desired

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.

MediaValet is easy to use in government because it's very intuitive. We have a wide range of internet skills at my organization, and everyone can use this tool with minimal/no training. It's great on an administrative side as well. Admins can control who sees and downloads photos. This is perfect for our organization, since some things can be kept private across departments.

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've invested time building our own hosted interface, and recently begun exploring Figma for design system management too. The benefit of Frontify is it's easy public access. The downfall is integration with other systems required in the UX, Design, Product Management, and Development processes - something Figma supports well.

MediaValet provides a lot of the same features as other DAM solutions on the market today, such as advanced search functionality and tagging capabilities but it overall won over for us because of its ease of use. Some of the more advanced features on the other tools evaluated made them a little bit more cumbersome to use on a day to day basis in addition to overall setup. We found the setup with MediaValet to be extremely quick and easy where with other programs the time to get up and running was significantly longer.

• For a highly visual brand with a small team, I believe the time saved and the tools offered would make the plus plan attractive. I do not know that I would recommend the larger plans to my clients.

• 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!
