MediaValet vs. Uptempo

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.

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!

• 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 are able to check on the campaigns what is happening throughout and in depth in real time.
• Uptempo improves all of our ROIs.
• We deal better with our strategies and advance further in strategy development und reusage.
• We are all over connected and team up much more successful and not just error free or flawless.

• 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

• The hierarchy of programs/initiatives can be pretty clunky and cumbersome. While it probably works great for larger size, enterprise organizations, it does not always jive with mid size to smaller companies - it can feel very constrained.
• There is currently no way to create a "flat" organizational structure of users. This can be very limiting for smaller-sized marketing organizations. Although I believe they are addressing this very soon.

The product is the best we've seen. Others on staff who use our partner's DAMs have commented that our Media Valet DAM is far and away the best they've seen. I can't say enough about Media Valet's customer service. It has been consistently helpful, quick to respond and very reliable.

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.

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.

They really are very different platforms. MediaValet offers much more control over who has access to files and how they are downloaded, as well as offering conversions of some files such as JPEG to PNG or TIFF. Also, through user profiles, you can grant access to a specific path to some users and not others, so it has a lot of customization. The other platforms are just for storage and sharing but there is no user control.

We purposefully keep up with several technologies so we can give our clients a broad view of the landscape; however, we partner with select software platforms that excite us and excite our clients. Allocadia is not a full-blown MOPS / MRM platform (i.e., workflow, DAM, financials), but their point-of-view on performance management and quality of execution in their platform provides a best-of-breed approach that we are seeing more clients pursue than even two years ago.

• Easier to send specific files to other people
• Can combine different assets in an aesthetically pleasing website like platform with Portals to present
• Gives peace of mind knowing that our files could be deleted from our system, but MediaValet has the backup

• 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.
