Minimalism is MAXIMUM

Reviewed on 2019/10/29

Minimal use of clients time to proof, as well as minimal emails to communicate changes to the...

Minimal use of clients time to proof, as well as minimal emails to communicate changes to the client, as well as minimal but very comprehensive proofing functionality. The learning curve to learn how to proof is very low, which leads us to happier clients!

Pros

The reason I came to GoVisually is because of the minimum steps our clients have to see their proofs.

Previously we used Mavenlink for media proofing, and even video proofing, but there were SO. MANY. STEPS. our clients had to go through, like signing up for a Mavenlink account and inconveniently forcing the client to educate themselves on Mavenlink’s proofing system, which takes time, as well as getting emails for every little (non-design) project changes, which takes more time; our clients don’t have that kind of time to spend on something that should be so simple.

GoVisually is very direct, can send a link to the project without signing up for the system, and the proofing functionality is very minimal and comprehensive. And the emails my clients get are only design changes, that’s it!

It’s a very lean and easy system to understand with very minimal steps to get to the proofing with a greater respect of using our clients time!

Cons

I would like to see video proofing someday. At the moment I use Dropbox for this but if I can keep video proofing within GoVisually, I totally would

Reasons for Choosing GoVisually

Too many steps in between to seeing the proofs, like signing up for an email account, learning the proofing system, as well as client getting way to many unnecessary emails for non-design changes.

Kantata

Reasons for Switching to GoVisually

Minimal steps for our clients to get to the proofs, minimal (and relevant) notification emails, and minimal proofing system that’s very comprehensive to understand, all of which reduce our clients time spent on proofing so they can spend their time on their own business.

A better client experience which naturally makes clients want to continue to work with us. better and more timely management of requests. Less chance of small tasks slipping through the cracks.Reassurance for us that we have formalised approval on artwork before it is published or sent to production. It's a win-win for a relatively inexpensive SaaS B2B product.

Pros

To summarise, it's about both professionalising and formalising our creative service offering for our clients. It benefits both parties. They get a sense that their version control is being properly managed, they have a suite of tools to empower precise feedback and ask for changes. For us as a business, we get peace of mind that feedback will be stored in one central place, and their no confusion over which version was approved to be published. The version control and comments have been a game changer for us. being able to comment on specific frames of videos is also a big added bonus.

Cons

Clients are always confused when they first get sent a link to a GoVisually project. They think they need a username and password to log in. That can cause some friction.Comments are a little disconnected between versions of documents. I can't update a comment to say - this is fixed now, take a look, because it is attached to the draft that I am replacing with the amended document version. That feels a little odd.PDF loads can be quite slow still though I think it has improved over time.It would be nice to be able to have more sections in projects than we are currently restricted to.

We've saved so much time with proofing. GoVisually makes it so much easier to visually see where there's a change or the exact issue that needs to be resolved. Oftentimes, our proofs have 150 plus artboards and it's so much easier to markup one vs explain which artboard and where the problem with it lies.

Pros

We love GoVisually for internally proofing and sending to our clients. It's so much easier to be able to put an arrow or dot on the space that needs corrections or attention. It's easy to use and we're able to send it to the most tech-savvy clients and the ones who still refuse technology.

Cons

If the files aren't small enough, it takes a while to load. Also, we're having trouble with proofs that are reviewed and it shows up in list to review.

Generally speaking, I have been very happy with GoVisually, and it has become an integral part of our online approval process, both internally and with our clients. We started out using the system specifically for the development of architectural CGI images, but this quickly broadened into commenting and approval processes of brochures, online and print ads. A big unexpected bonus was the frame-by-frame video commenting function, which has been a huge help in speeding up our production in this area – which until now has been really difficult to carry out in a remote working situation.

Pros

The relatively easy web-based commenting functionality. This allows untrained clients and other partners to comment on work in progress without having to download and install software, or have special training.

Cons

Some clients found the interface a little confusing at first.

GoVisually has simplified our review process and greatly reduced the amount of emails flying around with change orders and edits. I love organization and it's wonderful having everything in one place. Can't imagine working without it now.

Pros

I love how simple it is to post revisions and send links or invites to team members and clients. Having everyone's suggestions and edits in one place saves so much time and helps avoid any errors. it has also reduced emails which tend to get lost and are very confusing when it comes to gathering edits and looking at versions.

Cons

We have clients that attempt to review/markup on their mobile device and it's more difficult to do so on such a small screen. Not really GoVisually's fault - I just tell my clients it's a better experience on a desk/lap top.

We needed a client facing proofing/review/approving tool and we found it with GoVisually. Our clients have all enjoyed their experience on your platform and it's ease of use, no training needed. After researching about 8 tools we know we made the right decision to use GoVisually.

Pros

We chose GoVisually due to it's ease of use, UI and simple workflow. We like the proofing tools which gives our clients multiple ways to express their notes. Almost no set up time, not much training needed.

Cons

There's really nothing I don't like. They are future improvements to be made, but I feel confident in the GoVisually team that they are taking our notes to heart and are releasing new features as they can. Bulk uploads, better slack integrations.

GoVisually for a non-profit theater

Reviewed on 2019/06/11

Pros

I think the software is great and it's super simple to use. Everyone that I invite to review my projects seem to have ease managing through the workspace. I enjoy having several options of markers to draw attention to a specific change that needs to be made. The addition of the arrow has made a huge difference to my review process, because I don't always want to mark up the copy itself.

Cons

There are some people on my reviewer list that never receive email invites to proof my projects. I've done everything I can think to do and advised them to take certain actions, but they still never receive them. I can still give them access with the link, it just becomes a nuisance when I have to do that with every new draft.
