1. Business file systems - this ends up being based on the logic of whomever first set it up, and is typically not very flexible, and terrible search capabilities.

I'd used one with another company called MediaBank which had been very difficult to use—to the point where I was wary of using a D.A.M. Have been pleasantly surprised with MediaValet after that first exposure to D.A.M. systems.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Our normal team meeting was taking place, and we were transferring our data to pCloud. pCloud had supplied us with a platform from which we could download our critical data whenever we needed it. We also need to provide our project status report, and for this, we upload our PowerPoint presentation to the cloud, which has proven to be useful anytime we have needed it. It may be used in a variety of ways, including storing, sharing, and backing up essential files in a folder on your computer.

  • pCloud helps us to store data very well and it is accessible from anywhere. It makes it easy for anyone to use it and secure the data. It is easy to upload data and access it while having a meeting with our client.
  • pCloud easily stores files from another platform as well like Google Drive or Dropbox. It easily exchanges information like images, videos, and documents. This feature is amazing as it gives access to files from other storage.
  • It had one feature known as pCloud Crypto which gives high-end security to the data when stored. It is highly secure and encrypted. It uses blockchain technology which requires a key to use called Crypto Pass to unlock your data. Really like it.

Cons
  • 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.

Usability
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.

It is very easy to use, fast loading and the product team keeps adding updates. Like now I can listen to all my audiobooks from a playlist in pCloud. I am ask for files or send files easier than ever before. I also have access to all my files whereever I am.

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.

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.

pCloud has a virtual drive which Google Drive does not offer. Sharing links using a custom page is much more professional than Google Drive. I feel pCloud is more value for money than paying for the upgraded Google Drive plan. If pCloud has its own built-in app editor/viewers like Google Docs/Sheets etc that would be even better!

Return on Investment
  • 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!

  • pCloud had worked very well for us. It had given the best service and features to us whenever we needed our data. It was there safe and secure.
  • The Synchronization issue is there with pCloud Data Storage. It needs to be updated by the developers if possible.
  • pCloud has helped us with the improvement of our business requirements, as it makes our work easier and fast enough to deliver the project details on time to clients.
