My thoughts on MediaBin
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
MediaBin is used to store digital assets like PDFs and JPGs. We can access previous versions of publications and find a variety of images whether they are photographs or illustrations or other design files. I believe access is restricted depending upon your area of the organization and your need to pull files, so as to ensure the internal documents remain so.
Pros
- Export files in multiple formats
- Help reduce email clutter as a central repository
- Help with version control
Cons
- Search is often a chellenge - using the file name or "item number" doesn't always bring up the expected results.
- Navigation is not intuitive in places - finding different functions
- The export function is powerful but not always clear, several options seem like the same thing. e.g. Do I need FTP ot HTTP download? Do I care?
Likelihood to Recommend
If you want to share (or access) the most current version of any content MediaBin can be useful for ensuring that you are getting the right thing - assuming you can find it. Another useful functionality - OS sharing or exporting different file formats for a file. Often PDF works, but sometimes you need a file in a different image format and the software can allow that.
