Ziflow

Avantages

La simplicité de l'outil, tant sur le coté utilisateur que sur le coté administrateur de compte.
Il est tres facile de gérer l'administration de Ziflow et donc de ne plus etre dépendant des Equipes IT pour l'administration.
De plus, les automatisations sont tres simples et puissantes, notamment celles avec Monday.

Inconvénients

Le seul soucis est que le téléchargement des epreuves est un peu long meme si celles ci ne pesent que 1 ou 2 Mo.

Il manque cependant dans le chemin de fer, la possiblité d'avoir une validation par page ou un label permettant d'identifier les pages validées sur un catalogue.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

The versioning tool is super helpful, and allows me to easily track through previous version and comments, as well as compare different versions side by side.

Inconvénients

The time it takes to upload and process - and some times fail altogether.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

You can easily work on asset and videos with your team, dividing it on stages to finally show the result to the client in the same platform.

Inconvénients

File organization. Some proofs are difficult to find by searching for them manually.

Avantages

It's ease of use. The software is very intuitive and east to use.

Inconvénients

Would be great if the watermark feature embedded when you download the files from Ziflow

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

Shareing with outside, Sharing with external editors is not intuitive

Avantages

Ziflow is a great tool, the most effective way to proof and make edits.
Its streamline and very easy to use.

Inconvénients

Opens several windows per proof which is annoyoing....

Avantages

Helps in managing the proofs for multiple versions.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it changes the colour code after uploading the proof.

Avantages

Ease of project upload and proof checking both at client end and designer end.

Inconvénients

Nothing as such, it is a great tool for proof management.

Avantages

Saved me so much time - i dont have to sit guessing what a client wants as they can now exactly in point the part they want amended and how they want it amended.

Great value for money - even on the basic plan it saved me so much headaches and stress and the price was cheap and offered you so much for the basic plan. It was totally worth the investment.

It has made everything so much quicker for me - it organising everything and displays it easy and clear so I can amend and complete work so much faster.

Inconvénients

When a proof is locked Im unable to use the tick feature on comments to indicate that i have resolved that amend I currently have to temporarily unlock the proof . Would be nice if I could still use this feature when the proof is locked.

A feature to send auto reminders or a pop on the proof to notify approvers to make a decision would be handy so I dont have to go chasing each and every one.

Avantages

It´s easy to collaborate across companies within the same tool

Inconvénients

It´s not possible to edit the original proof - it only works for proof reading

Avantages

Ziflow is a simple and intuitive tool that is particularly handy when you create and review a lot of creative and have a large team of stakeholders at different levels and functions. This tool has simplified what can be a daunting and messy task, by providing standardization & equal line of sight, which in turn helps to drive clear and consistent debriefing.

Inconvénients

No. This tool is regularly updated and optimized.

Avantages

Ziflow makes it way easier to keep track of comments/feedback and versions. It's enables be to be more efficient and productive with my time.

Inconvénients

The new layout is a bit confusing. Sometimes a window will disappear when a new version is created.

Avantages

Ease of use. Speed of process. The ability to manage projects from anywhere, anytime. The ability to collaborate on projects when unable to meet in person.

Inconvénients

I honestly have no negatives. Ziflow works as advertised and we've found it invaluable.

Avantages

I love how collaborative ziflow it, it allows our team to work at a fast pace but also hear the voice of everyone on the team as they review creative content.

Inconvénients

I wish ziflow was better from a functional standpoint when it was time to route animated banners, short clips, or long form clips.

Avantages

It was easy to learn and use from day one. Clients are easy to train in the use of markup and even attaching images.

Inconvénients

Took some time to figure out how to mass email Large groups. But a little self searching found the correct way to do so.

Avantages

I like the real time proofing status and that you can setup a deadline for the proofs.

Inconvénients

The onyl thing that i dont like is that when customer make a comment theres no way to see it, unless I dont know where it should be

Avantages

Super easy and intuitive content collaboration tool to add to your arsenal. The commenting feature set is solid and my favorite part of the software. Also love the different tiers of approval. Just makes sense with multiple contributors/approvers.

Inconvénients

Nothing really. I haven't found a weakness other than getting the preview urls from third party tools to work at times (no 404s).

Avantages

The ability to get realtime feedback on creative projects has saved us so many headaches.

Inconvénients

Nothing that comes to mind. Overall we've been very happy.

Avantages

We used a similar tool for several years before switching to Ziflow because of their clear commitment to continuing to make the product more useful. The live website review feature is what clinched the deal for us - we make sure to get ahead of any edit requests so we can make a proof in Ziflow to collect comments that used to come to us in some incredibly tedious ways...including print-markup with a pen-scan...

Video and print review was essential for us and we have had pretty good adoption/acceptance throughout the college. Actually, that has been improved versus our previous tool because of the ability to share a single link with multiple users who don't use a proofing tool as much as the marketing department does - there used to be a lot of confusion about logging in that has been just about universally resolved. The only time there has been some (easily addressed) confusion was in regards to the Chrome extension required for commenting on live websites.

Inconvénients

I wish there were a way to automatically add some canned (but custom) instructions to the invitation to review a proof - a checkbox I could select if the reviewer was someone I hadn't sent a Ziflow proof to before. The live website review does have a couple of quirks (you can't use the text select on a live website proof and it occasionally has some issues with not being able to scroll), but it has been of huge utility for us.

There is not as much adoption of the text selection commenting by occasional users as I would like (not available for live website proofs). It definitely isn't intuitive for most people besides the fact that they don't see it and even when I point it out to people there are many who never use it correctly. But as the administrators and heavy users, that feature is very useful.

Avantages

I like that it controls who has access to proofs, that we have a three stage review process that is clear and easy to follow. I like that it logs all comments and iterations of the proof and maintains version history. I like that it is straightforward to reassign proofs to other members of my team if necessary.

Inconvénients

We use Ziflow in a Presentations team and only use Ziflow to review figure redraws at present. A big part of our workflow is PowerPoint presentations, however Ziflow cannot review these yet. I understand that flattened versions of slides can be submitted but we do advanced animated PPTs with pop-ups and transitions that need to be maintained. It would be great if down the line, Ziflow allows us to do this too.

Avantages

Since our previous proofing system was email, this has definitely helped create some efficiencies in our processes (and actually create some processes where none existed).

Inconvénients

Descriptions on the tools (hover function) might be helpful. Ability to edit or delete/hide a comment that has been overruled/vetoed would be nice to be able to clean up proofs before they go back to the designer. A character limit on the comment field would be great: we get a lot of single comments made with all of the comments for an entire proof in them, and a character limit might help with this issue.

Avantages

Allowing our clients to access proofs on the widest range of devices was imperative, as was the ability for us to interface with Ziflow via their very efficient API. Our in-house ordering system is a one click approach to process proofs, emails, and workflows. Integrating Ziflow as part of this single click methodology was essential. Previously with ProofHQ we had daily complaints about not being able to access proofs. Since taking on ZiFlow all we get is positive comments about how easy it is, both from our team in managing workflows, and from our clients in viewing, posting comments, downloading files etc. Overall: First Class.

Inconvénients

The API could handle proof uploads more efficiently, but this is a minor gripe in a sea of positivity and there were some issues at the outset getting the API examples to work.
