My overall experience with RS has been amazing! My clients have adapted very well. In the first 2 months I had clients asking for the same review process (as I had tried others n the past, DROPBOX)

Pros

Review Studio serves as a connection between my marketing directors and my retoucher. I can monitor a project from the outside and make sure files are being retouched and delivered on time to the client.

Cons

Although moving decent size files around, I do wish Review Studio operated a bit faster on the user end.

Alternatives Considered

Dropbox Business

Reasons for Choosing ReviewStudio

Comments and file updating was slow and inconsistent. Color profiles were changed from files and no color control was in place.

Reasons for Switching to ReviewStudio

Color space was under control. Review Studio interface was 100 times better than another.

For a company the small size of ours, ReviewStudio works great. It's simple, effective and a good value for what it offers. We use it everyday and saves us a lot of time and moneycompared to the old way of routing physical prints of each file.

Pros

Review Studio is easy to use in both submitting files for review and for others to markup issues with the files. Workflows are easy to setup for various employees to review only certain file based on their particular roles and responsibilities.

Cons

Files preview at a small size on screen and need to be zoomed in to read type and analyze graphics. This has to be done incependently for each page unfrtunately and slows the process down. The ability to turn off the color channels of a PDF file independantly would be a big plus for those in the print industry.

Overall, our experience with ReviewStudio has been wonderful. It was super easy to get started, and customer support was quick to respond and extremely helpful.

Pros

We love how easy it is to share proofs, get feedback, and get projects approved, all within a simple and easy-to-use interface.

Cons

The only two things I would like to see improved upon (and they're so minor that I don't think they're worth mentioning) is: 1. native integration with project management platforms like Basecamp (but, Zapier is a great workaround), and 2. adding clients to projects could be more streamlined (i.e. not just adding email addresses to a field, but being able to filter clients by their respective workspaces).

Alternatives Considered

Cage, PageProof, GoProof and Adobe Workfront

Reasons for Switching to ReviewStudio

Mostly the price, but ReviewStudio had the best set of features suitable for our needs.

Response from ReviewStudio

Thanks Danny!

Appreciate the feedback. We will add Basecamp to our integrations roadmap.

To your comment about how you want to add clients to projects - I will reach out to clarify what your goal is.

Overall it has been beneficial to our rganization

Pros

Consolidation of reviews instead of email chains that can become lost or splintered, and can bloat your account with attachments. Plus getting an official signoff and proof of review input.

Cons

The fact that it lacks a way to get feedback on a live website is the biggest dislike for us. Uploading HTML code is not a viable option as we develop on WordPress most of the time. We have had to pick up a Userback account to fill that gap.

Great experience overall and they've recently launched a new interface which I find very intuitive and easy to use.

Pros

I love that I can load graphics, PDFs and URLs for review and gather feedback and revisions all in one place. It saves me time and energy of search through my inbox for client feedback. I also like that I can tag clients with questions if needed and they can mark up specific parts of the document so I know exactly what needs revising.

Cons

The only feature I wish it had was the ability to send emaill marketing test drafts to it for review.

It gives me a way to get feedback and redmarks on 3D renderings and video from my clients or other designers working on the project all in one place. It is simple and very effective.

Pros

The best part is how I can get feedback and markups from as many people as I want on the same project and everyone can see each others comments on graphic design, 3D, or videos, and it's very intuitive and time saving.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is it used to be open to anyone to have permission to participate by default but in the last update it's more locked down and I have to change the permission but I'm guessing that is due to companies being more security minded than what I have to deal with.

Highly recommend and the staff there is great. I beta tested multiple versions and every time I ask for a new feature they are quick to reply and update, this is something you don't see very much these days.

Pros

My company has been using this product for many years. The ability to review still renderings, photographs, videos and 360 images is a very integral part of our workflow and our clients find it very easy to use. Multiple versions, the compare tool, markup tools and ability to attach files to comments is really great.

Cons

I think the only con is that the mobile version of it isn't nearly as easy as on desktop / laptop. Clients will often leave blank comments or strange lines on the review before realizing they should do it on the computer.

Response from ReviewStudio

Thanks for the kind words Ryan!

If ever you run into an issue on the mobile version, be sure to send it across to our support team. We made a big update a few months bug that dramatically improved the mobile UX.

It's been great! The support, product and ease of use have saved us time, money and stress.

It's been great! The support, product and ease of use have saved us time, money and stress.

Pros

With a design team that's 100% work-from-home, we needed a tool to ensure our design process wasn't lost in the variables of email or phone calls. Review Studio was exactly that. It's saved us time, money and the frustrations of miscommunications at an incredibly reasonable price. The markup tools are simple and easy to use, something that was vital when I am constantly bringing in outside departments; the version history makes comparison a breeze and the admin panel allows for the right people to have the perfect amount of control so that nothing is accidentally deleted, approved, or mismanaged. If you need a good proofing software, this is it.

Cons

The only negative we've found is when a review expires on the timeline, it is locked. Sometimes fires happen and it means we have to reactive it, however overall it is not a major detriment and we still love the product.

Response from ReviewStudio

Thank you for the kind review!

When you are setting a deadline you can choose whether the status will be "active" (no limitations) "locked" (you can view, but not add any new comments or modifications) or "inactive" (no user access until you activate - useful for presenting work to clients).

It sounds like when you create your Reviews you set the status as "locked" after deadline. You can set them to "active" if you prefer.

You can also reactivate Reviews from the dashboard from the dropdown near the thumbnails.

I hope this helps - and thanks again for your support!

Response from ReviewStudio

Thanks for your continued business and the review.

Just to clarify - if you enable guest access on a Review (proof) you can send the link to anyone, post it in an email or into whatever other channel your clients may use. Anyone with that link will have access to the files and can leave their feedback.

With regards to reporting - it's coming! Depending on what you are looking for, we may be able to retrieve the report for you today (we do this for several of our enterprise clients).

Thanks again - and we are glad you (and your clients) appreciate the intuitiveness of the platform.

After several months of exploring other workflows and trying other proofing solutions, we decided on Review Studio. This week, we are ready to make the leap after the proofing system we were using had an "upgrade". So we moved our timeline up by a month and we aren't looking back!

Pros

Excellent customer support, good client-facing functionality, streamlined proof uploading, amazing search/ file tagging system, both thumbnails AND text for file listing, and rapid notifications.

Cons

No client-facing dashboard. Clients have to rely on their email message filing to see which of their proofs are active/ inactive/ complete. We have clients/ sales reps who manage several dozen portfolios with us and this may start to prove cumbersome for them. We may have to find a workaround at some point, but for now, we are managing.

Response from ReviewStudio

Hi Jane, Thank you for that very positive review. In response to the concern you raise, I just wanted to let you know that it's only the "guest" reviewers that do not have access to a dashboard. But if you have collaborators who are involved ongoing in multiple projects, you can set up a user account for them so that they can better track their reviews in a dashboard. If you require only a few additional users, we can add them to any plan for a reasonable fee and you can contact us for more information about setting that up.
