MediaValet
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.

SharePoint Document Management excels as a central repository for storing, organising, and retrieving documents. It supports version control, metadata tagging, secure access, and integration with tools like Power Automate. At our organisation, it's used for managing contracts, policies, and supplier documents. SharePoint Workflow Automation integrates with Power Automate to streamline approvals, gather feedback, and automate recurring tasks. This reduces reliance on email chains and manual trackers.

Pros
MediaValet
  • 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

  • We track employees' performance sheets, which are accessible to the employee, his manager, and HR, and this helps with transparency.
  • We maintain technical process documents and SOPs, which help us quickly provide relevant documents during audits.
  • We maintain incident documents change request forms in SharePoint, which helps us in tracking the changes.

Cons
MediaValet
  • 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.

  • Windows Explorer users have some difficulty having to constantly UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD files. Specifically on the DOWNLOAD when they are used to Drag & Drop in & out of LOCAL folders via Window's explorer.
  • Microsoft SharePoint supports multiple "library" types. When implementing our "image" library the search function is done via "tags" and boolean logic. This is challenging to most end users. I'd like our users to be able to search our Microsoft SharePoint image library without having to enter KEYWORD or other BOOLEAN logic.
  • Microsoft SharePoint can also be an internal website for each department or company wide communication tool but I believe these features are geared for much larger organizations. Since we are a SMB we really aren't using these features. So maybe something more useful to SMBs would be nice.

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.

It's integral to our business. It's already included with most of the Office 365 licensing we buy, so the cost is effectively zero. It stores our files, it is the foundation for custom applications, and Microsoft only continues to enhance its functionality and its connections to other Microsoft tools. SharePoint just keeps getting better and better.

Usability
MediaValet
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.

No usability issues reported. Individual teams also have allocated areas which replace legacy shared drives on local LANs. Access to Sharepoint resources is fully integrated with corporate Active Directory with additional two-factor authentication required for administrative users. Users have access to Microsoft Services Hub which allows you to create, manage, and track support requests while staying current on Microsoft technologies with access to select self-paced learning paths

Support for SharePoint is quite good. Microsoft provides good support. Microsoft offers
  • Quick turnaround time for issues
  • A range of support services
  • Access to a network of resources
  • Escalation of issues
  • Ongoing development and commitment to produce enhancement
The majority of support is required for initial installation. Once complete and the system is operating we have had very few support issues.

The face to face training I received was on SharePoint Administration. It was rushed as there was a lot of information to cover and the application of the labs weren't that great either. I like to be able to relate what I am learning to what I am currently doing.

I like to learn at my own pace and online training allows for that. Additionally, you can skip through pieces of content that you already know or are already comfortable with. Microsoft actually offers great videos on their website for basic fundamental SharePoint Training. I have used these training videos in some of my own training sessions with end users.

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.

Planning to the last detail would be advised. SharePoint is a very large application that takes a lot of finesse to get operational

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.

The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the content and better indexing and searching capabilities.

Return on Investment
MediaValet
  • 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.

  • It comes with Office 365. It won't cost you any additional charges.
  • It will help you to streamline your communication and work as a central hub for all tasks, files[,] and events[.]
  • Setting it up will need a bit [of] planning. If you jump blindly it will become a confusing place for your team members and make them frustrated[.]
