## VALT Reviews
  ### 1. Unmatched Support!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lindsay B. | Senior Advisor, The Family Office of Philanthropy, Fund-Raising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2023

**What do you like best about VALT?**

VALT possesses a system that rarely encounters any problems. The only issue we faced was the synchronization of time stamps on cameras. They promptly provided a solution to overcome this lag time from viewing to laptop.

**What do you dislike about VALT?**

The customer support is highly responsive but sometimes overlooks features and fails to provide satisfactory solutions. Occasional glitches and technical issues have also hindered the functioning of the software.

**What problems is VALT solving and how is that benefiting you?**

VALT tackles the problem of technology enablement, in education effectively. By utilizing its video recording and streaming capabilities VALT enables us to capture and share lectures enhancing student engagement and accessibility.

  ### 2. Very friendly and knowledgeable

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nick H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2023

**What do you like best about VALT?**

When we (the Children's Advocacy Center) were moving location, we knew it was time to spend money on a quality recording system for our Forensic Interviews. VALT immediately replied with beneficial information and the cost to install for our project. They explained everything very well. It was easy to understand what they had to offer.  They walked us through everything and helped us get trained well on their system. The support staff have been excellent; they are always delightful to work with. They usually figure out any problems and then explain the issue and the fix they applied. They have excellent customer service and a great product.

**What do you dislike about VALT?**

There is not too much to dislike. I am having trouble even thinking of something. The only issue we have had with VALT is syncing up the time stamp on the covert and overhead cameras. They seem to have a robust system, and we don't have any issues.

**What problems is VALT solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We conduct forensic interviews within our center. These interviews are watched live and recorded for evidence. They have a very user-friendly, confidential, and secure system for what we need to be done.

  ### 3. Very nice product with excellent customer support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mary O. | Simulation Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2022

**What do you like best about VALT?**

I appreciate the flexibility of the system in regards to locations of use. As long as we have a laptop and a camera, we can view, record and debrief from any location.

**What do you dislike about VALT?**

Lagtime from live (viewed from a one-way glass control room) to viewing on a laptop. I understand this is due to the time it takes for the signal to go through the entire network. I appreciate the VALT folks provided a solution to this issue.

**What problems is VALT solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our need for an AV solution in our nursing simulation and lab environment.

  ### 4. Impressively Simple

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2022

**What do you like best about VALT?**

VALT creates software to capture video for training, law, etc. It could be especially useful for a nursing simulation.

**What do you dislike about VALT?**

Some parts of the software can seem a little complicated for the average folk. However, through some trainings, it is straightforward.

**What problems is VALT solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is secure, it is safe, and overall it is efficient to use. It is far better than using Zoom or screen recording.

  ### 5. Two Systems

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bret S. | Technology Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2022

**What do you like best about VALT?**

When I started my position over a decade ago, our counseling education clinic was using a sports analysis system to record their sessions.   That system was getting old, and we replaced it with a security video system.  As we used the security video system, it always felt like we were trying to pound an oversized square peg into a small round hole.  As we were very dissatisfied with that system, I started looking again for a video system for our clinic.  This is when I found Intelligent Video Systems.  After a demo and talking with the folks at IVS, we decided that this was the system we really needed a few years before.  Our first installation was pre-VALT, but it was vastly superior solution for our clinic.  At that time, IVS as a company was just starting to grow.  When the VALT system was introduced, implementing it on our users' computers was even easier than before.  This system allows for live viewing of the session, watching the recording later, and adding tags both live and when reviewing.  Recordings can be scheduled to start and end automatically, or they can be started and stopped manually.  Overall, this system has been easier for me to support than the previous security video system.  I liked the VALT system so much that when our literacy clinic was having some struggles with a system designed for classroom use (I was not involved in the original selection of that system), that I was able to convince the literacy clinic to implement a VALT system, which actually ended up meeting their needs better, at about a third of the cost of the previous system.

**What do you dislike about VALT?**

The one downside I currently see about VALT is that when something happens to the system and it needs attention (which is not very often), that as the company has grown, the wait time for technical support has increased a bit.  In retrospect, I was spoiled when IVS as a company was smaller, I knew the main set of employees, and could get help by just emailing or calling them up.  As IVS has gone through these growing pains, they have adjusted by increasing the number of staff available for technical support, and support time frames are constantly improving.  I will say though that the quality of technical support has always be very good.

**Recommendations to others considering VALT:**

Intelligent Video Solutions is a small business (and growing) that really wants to make sure their product meets the needs of their users.  They are responsive and even after growing, is still a great company with which to do business.

**What problems is VALT solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The VALT system allows both of our clinics to record sessions, with the freedom to do those recordings at they best see fit.  The live view capability is nice so that supervisors can see and hear what is happening in the various sessions, and can intercede during the session if the need arises.  The supervisors are able to view multiple sessions at a time, and can easily switch audio between the multiple session.  The supervisors and professors can then review the video at a later time together with those students in the session.  Additionaly, the literacy clinic also uses the VALT system as part of research projects.

  ### 6. It has been a lifesaver.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brenda Y. | Department of Psychology Secretary, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2021

**What do you like best about VALT?**

It is so user-friendly. I can start new people using it with very little instruction.

**What do you dislike about VALT?**

I wish I could change access categories for multiple users at one time instead of individually.

**Recommendations to others considering VALT:**

The product is dependable, and the service provided is the best I have ever encountered. It has been even more valuable during the Covid pandemic.

**What problems is VALT solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We didn't like putting videos on data cards. They were hard to keep track of and often had errors you wouldn't see until you watched them. We haven't experienced any recording error since using this system.

  ### 7. VALT in Higher Education
