Filestage Reviews

Easy to use and understand for collaboration purposes - if somebody needs to leave feedback on a specific file that requires updates, it's simple to do this.

Some processes are a little slow/laggy, but it's not enough to impact my recommendation or overall workflow.

Good for gathering input from many people.

The new interface is not good. It is not intuitive. It was MUCH better before.

Easy handling, saves a lot of time and nerves. Complete review process at the push of a button. Intuitive operation

Project monitoring still insufficient. Even more personalizable notifications would be desirable. For example, a notification at the end of a project deadline.

That everyone can see everyone's comments, avoiding contradictory ones. Easy, collaborative, organized.

New dashboard looks a bit messy, but maybe it is just a getting-used-to-thing
Moving reviewers in-between stages (not inviting everyone again)
Images are not shown in full crop when opening them, you always need to zoom out
Possibility to "archive" images in a specific stage, let's say we send out multiple angles to a client, and they chose 3 out of 6 - to clean up that stage (but not delete the previous images if we would need them later) so it would only contain the images that we will continue working with?

We use Filestage for all review processes of images, layouts, films etc. both internally within our team and with clients. The software is easy to use and self-explanatory to a large extent. Even clients who only need to approve images from time to time can use Filestage quickly and intuitively. The handling of our approval processes as well as transparency has improved significantly and Filestage contributes significantly to our quality assurance.

Nothing really. There are certainly one or two functions that would make the software even better, but new functions are being implemented little by little and the needs of the users are being intensively addressed.

I like the fact that it is easy to share files with team members and also people outside your organisation.

Sometimes the versions management can be quite complex at times.

FileStage does what you'd hope it does, and does it quickly and easily. At the simplest level, it provides a platform for all levels of dicussion to take place on files in-progress and under review. Start to delve a little and powerful customisation becomes available.

The mobile version works, but lacking a dedicated app it's not as smooth an experience as the desktop.

I have a website and video production company. The review process is now a snap. I simply send the filestage link - instruct the client to leave all the feedback on there, then we will execute all their reviews for a flat "revision" cost - since endless revisions are the least profitable part of the job.

I had a bit of trouble with the annotation feature early on. It turns out the google adblock plugin breaks some of the code so I just disabled it on filestage.io

Friendly, easy to handle, great service, and tech. support.

The archiving process should differ per file not just per project/

Filestage is seriously intuitive and simple to use. Which means we get very little confusion from clients or team members, people just adapt right away. I create a lot of video, and because of the detailed feedback thats possible on the platform, its made our workflow and deliveries much faster.
There is also a huge benefit in having the feedback on multiple projects stored for later reference.

Very little to say here. The one main one would be storage. Because I work mainly in video, I reach the capacity limit of my account almost weekly, which can cause issues if all the work on the platform is active.

easy to use, self-explanatory, good performance, API interface

The versioning still needs to be better comparable, but according to Filestage it is close to release.

I like that not everyone in our organization has to be registered as a user and when we send something off to proof they can just click the link and open it without dealing with user names and passwords. We don't have to pay by the amount of users either.
The features are simple, we've had very little questions from users on how to use it.

I honestly can't think of any other than trying to get our campus used to doing things differently.

Filestage kept rising our dynamic and efficiency of workflow creating Productpapers, factsheets, Presentations a.s.o. to a new level.

Sometimes the upgolding time for files lasts a bit to long.

fast integration of complex film projects.
fast and easy communication with the customer.
Shortening the correction time

There is no competitive product.
There is no negative review

I love how easy it is to upload, comment on, and share files. Filestage makes
project collaboration a breeze. I spend more time moving a project forward
vs. figuring out how to move it forward. Filestage does that for us.

Filestage meets our needs. I haven't encountered any features that are
missing.

Consolidated feedback on creative materials saves us SO much time managing back-and-forth rounds of reviews. It's the digital equivalent of a job jacket full of hand-written rounds of creative feedback. The days of marking up PDFs, scanning handwritten feedback, and long emails are over.

There are a few minor features that occasionally can be a nuisance, but it's minimal. For example, it would be great to be able to "undo" an approval. Tags can also get lost at times, so it would be nice to have notifications or specific "jump to" tags functionality.

Filestage is simple to use allowing multiple people to collaborate/provide feedback.

There could be further options in terms of file organisation.

I liked the most, that our students marketing association could easily do the Corporate Design checks, which are necessary for us. The Design is very clear, which makes orientation in the application easy, too. Even without knowing similar software before, I knew after very few minutes, how to deal with it.

Sometimes I had the feeling, that some Comments on already uploaded Pictures weren't send as an email to the others, cause the notification on the right lower corner was missing sometimes.

I really like using Filestage. Is easy to use from day one, and when you are doing colaborative work, there is nothing better.
The tools it has to select text or images are great, and the way you interact inside the document with your team members is simple and effective.

I could say that you cannot work with a lot of projects at the same time, so you have to erase the older ones.

I was really impressed with this software. It was so user friendly and very very organized. I was clear at what stage we were on at each stage of our approval processes. ]
It revealed me of multiple emails going back and forth, the software made the process really streamlined.

I really did not encounter any issues that I can comment on at this time.

The simplicity of working with it - especially when giving the link of a file to a customer. There is no need for him to sign up, which makes it really easy to use.
Also, the usability and the user experience is great. Its actually fun to work with, even considering it is about something as tough as dealing with corrections of customers.
Everything is beeing kept clear and manageable.
We also love how we can handle nearly every kind of file.

It kinda reaches its limit when handling really big pdfs (more than 200 pages), since people are going to download the pdf and will make their comments there, instead of in filestage.
