    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.

    Although the Analytics part is already available it could be improved. So for now Allocadia is very recommended if you are looking for a data maintenance software but less appropriate as a analysis tool. Ask yourself what is it you are looking for (analysis or controlling) and for which purposes (management level or specialists). The costs are very resonable and an absolute Plus!

    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

    • The user interface is clean, well-thought out, and easy for marketers to use. It behaves like their spreadsheets in all the right ways...without the baggage of having budgets locked into separate spreadsheets.
    • Allocadia knows that revenue attribution is important, and has great out-of-the-box adapters to flow actual spend and actual performance in to the tool.
    • The reporting engine is both substance and style. Data is accurate, can be sliced-and-diced, and is easy for marketers to get what they want in an ad hoc fashion, if a canned report does not already exist. The visuals are also excellent, which promotes the use of analysis.

    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.

    • Integrate the marketing department closer to the other companies departments output.
    • Connect to more markets for customer acquisition and care as well as customer satisfaction and experience enhancements.
    • We think it can get even closer to SAP Marketing Cloud at less investments and more ROI.

    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.

    I am hesitant to comment on renewal in detail because we haven't been using the system for very long. But I am encouraged by the speed and ease of implementation, and look forward to getting to know the system 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.

    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 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.

    Uptempo can integrate with other helpful tools, making it so powerful in achieving tasks. The cost of licensing is relatively cheaper compared to other software. It is also more efficient and saves a lot of time. The sales team also offered us a lot of training.

    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.

    • We have been able to more effectively look at our buys and see how they are performing on an ROI basis. Previously our spend data and leads were in two different places but this has allowed us to combine them.
    • We have only been in the software for five months so I think we will continue to see the ROI impact as we build out reports. Right now we're still trying to find the reports that will help us the most in our optimization.
