Ziflow

Pros: It is doing a good job handling the large files without freezing (which is way more than I could ever say for our email server). The “Spaces” feature is fine for organizing once I finally get around to using it. It does upload pretty quickly on this awful Office wifi.

Cons: Honestly the price is too high for what it does and one major complaint I have is trying to find older documents I've already downloaded is an absolute nightmare. And also occasionally the interface freezes up and I'll need to refresh 2-3 times before I can see the file preview. I wish there were better tracking features in the express version so I would be able to tell if the client actually opened the video/file.

Pros: It is clear, intuitive commenting – Markups are easy to place, reply to, and resolve, so feedback doesn’t get lost.

Cons: Learning curve for new users – Reviewers who aren’t very technical sometimes need guidance before they’re comfortable

Pros: Great support staff and has helped my department become more efficient by being able to track reviews

Cons: Just took a while to formalize workflows. This took some coordination with clients to formalize workflows for our of our different units

Pros: I enjoy how easy it is for us to mark up proofs at every step of the way, both internally and for our clients. As a project manager, I especially appreciate how seemlessly it integrates with our project management software, to ensure approvals happen fast and in a more automated fashion.

Cons: The way it integrates with Microsoft Word for copywriting and with some of the web features seem a bit clunky. It would be nice if we could figure out a way to integrate it seemlessly so that all users could have a better experience.

Pros: It makes reviewing and sharing assets so much easier, quicker, more straightforward and provides helpful tools that you wouldn't be able to access if you didn't have Ziflow such as the compare function.

Cons: When comparing the different versions of assets, it picks if the words have moved slightly on a page and this then can be confusing as it identifies it like the actual copy have changed when it actually hasen't. Therefore it would be helpful to have a specific function that can compare the copy on its own, and exclude any design amends.

Pros: it is easy to create new proofs and upload multiple different files. It is easy to combine multiple files into one proof.

Cons: There are a lot of messages sent to email. I wish that when someone made multiple comments on a proof, it condensed into one email rather than one for each comment.

Pros: User interface is really easy, quick and intuitive. Helps keep everything organized and easy to refer back through the various review rounds of a project.

Cons: Cannot print or save out all individually loaded files to have a comprehensive review or proof package. Would be much more efficienct and user-friendly to allow this functionality.

Pros: It makes it incredibly easy to track and respond to comments on creative projects! As a longtime designer, juggling rounds of feedback and getting approvals/input (and then reinforcing it after deadlines pass) is always a huge headache. Ziflow is the first platform I've used that actually manages this for you.

Cons: It can be a little bit hard to navigate the options for each draft - sometimes you need to edit/replace a PDF without creating a whole new version (even a minor one), and sometimes you need to carry some incomplete comments forward into the next round of feedback to continue the discussion. Would be great to have an easy way to edit projects/approvers/keep comments in later versions, right from within the draft viewer.

Pros: The Manager to Client usability is something that has come a long way in recent years and ZiFlow makes it easy for us to communicate effectively and efficiently with our clients.

Cons: I would say the only downside I have with ZiFlow at the moment is the outreach on hearing what their clients are wanting in regards to new features. We have been asking for a while now to bring the option to edit our clients comments, it has been almost a year now and we always are told "its coming"

Pros: Ziflow has changed the game for our company and internal communication between departments! The security Ziflow offers is top-notch and allows sensitive documents to be sent and reviewed with no issues. I started at my current company just as we began to utilize Ziflow, and the customer support I received while setting up my account was incredibly helpful and swift. Coming onboard as part of our marketing department, the project management aspect of Ziflow offers has saved us hundreds of hours and has streamlined our workflow in an unbelievable way.

Cons: I think if I had to choose one con about Ziflow (which is difficult to do), I believe it would be to do with the ease of recalling how to edit stages within the workflow. For example, if I need to add an individual to a stage, it takes me a moment to remember how to make this happen, as there doesn't seem to be a clear "edit" button.

Pros: Easy to manage the proofs for all the marketing projects. It's every intuitive when it comes to proofing workflow. Love that they have custom domain and branding features. Also the contact list that I can keep my client's emails when I send it. Customer support is very responsive and listen to my issues.

Cons: To get the most out of this powerful tool, clients will need to invest some time in learning its advanced features and functionality.

Pros: Ease of use. Integration with monday.com. Innovation and quickness to find solutions for our needs.

Cons: I do not have anything negative to say about Ziflow. Everything is top-notch.

Pros: Love the workflow functionality and version tracking

Cons: All the email notifications I receive if I don't update my communication preferences on each proof.

Pros: This is a user-friendly product both on back and front end.

Cons: I really don't have any complaints. I have been happy overall and I haven't experienced any downtime, poor customer service or system limitations.

Pros: Ziflow is user friendly which makes it easy to use and collaborate with our design team on projects. The dashboard helps me organize and see the status of all the proofs I am assigned to review. I love the comparison tool to review/compare different versions of a proof, real-time commenting and mark up tools, and having all the comments and changes in one central place to streamline communication. Fewer emails means edits don't get lost.

Cons: I receive a lot (maybe too many?) of the daily review emails from Ziflow but that is also my fault. I can always change my preferences for which emails I want to receive.

Pros: Simple to use, it also have a lot of tools to make the proofing of a document a lot better. The video integration is a must.

Cons: Litlle bit difficult for the invited users to find the dashboard.

Pros: Ziflow is easy to use and very intuitive. I like the detail it provides as to reviewer comments and dates of reviews.

Cons: It is not convenient to always go back to the Details page to see the date of when reviewers reviewed. The date should be visible on each reviewer's approval stage.

Pros: The comparing feature that allows to compare older versions with new. automated workflows saves time as one doesn't have to keep adding reviewers again and again.

Cons: at times it throws error when i tried making a proof with a URL.

Pros: Helps in managing the proofs for multiple versions.

Cons: Sometimes it changes the colour code after uploading the proof.

Pros: Ziflow's proof-sharing interface is exceptionally clear and transparent, streamlining the process for both teams and clients.

Cons: When proofs are uploaded to Ziflow, the color code changes from RGB to CMYK, causing issues with clients.

Pros: User-friendly interface and robust features for streamlining the review and approval process for creative projects.

Cons: Relatively high compared to other review and approval platforms. its extensive feature set can sometimes lead to a steeper learning curve for new users.

Pros: It makes my job as a designer much easier for the design review process.

Cons: I pretty much like everything about Ziflow.

Pros: clarity, easy to compare versions, easy to add comment.

Cons: Shareing with outside, Sharing with external editors is not intuitive
