My overall experience has been positive. The people at Ziflow are great, and the platform is excellent. As a result, this has helped our organisation produce better quality assets.

Pros

The features are by far the most powerful elements of Ziflow. The dashboard, proof viewer, version control, and automation are all excellent.

Cons

For our organisation, there are areas of automation that can be improved. For example, the intake forms lack functionality which can improve organisations such as us to be less hands-on.

Overall, Ziflow helps our team collaborate more quickly, manage feedback more easily, and make the approval process on creative projects much more efficient. I've used other collaboration and proofing tools while working for other companies but prefer Ziflow. It is comprehensive, yet easier to use.

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.

Overall, Ziflow has been great and I would recommend this program to anyone looking for a way to collaborate and get feedback in a simple and easy way.

Pros

Overall, Ziflow has allowed out team to collaborate on a smaller and large scale through proofing. Also, getting approvals all in one place saves us time and improves efficiency.

Cons

The new version has made uploading proofs more time-consuming. There is a lot of clicking that has to happen and it takes us more time to upload something. I also would like the search and filter function to work more often.

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

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.

I have good experience with Ziflow. I could simply and securely exchange suggestions with users, visitors, and groups while managing feedback from any browser. Ziflow offers real-time, team-based, and user-friendly tools for marking up and commenting.

Pros

It is very user friendly. Being a QC it is very easy to mark errors and suggestions/feedbacks on the designs and it makes easy to understand what a client wants.

Cons

sometimes the colours are not exact as it is designed, like if we add RGB projects but it shows like its a CMYK.

Pros

Ziflow is an intuitive and user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to navigate and use. The platform's extensive document review capabilities, including the annotation and markup tools, have also been widely appreciated, enabling teams to collaborate more effectively on creative content.

Cons

Occasional issues with the platform's performance and stability, such as slow loading times or glitches.

Reasons for Switching to Ziflow

Ziflow offers a more user-friendly interface and a more comprehensive range of document review and collaboration features than some alternatives.

With remote work becoming common place, we had to transition away from our conventional proofing method. We used shared Adobe PDFs for a while since it was essentially free (all our users are either on the creative suite or have acrobat). However, the limitations of not being on a platform designed for proofing were drastic.

Using Ziflow has improved the organization and speed of proofing. It has been a little slower to integrate client proofing into it as many of our clients are resistant to new things. However, as clients do jump on, they see the value and appreciate it (as do we! clearer comments!).

Pros

- Saving workflow templates for streamlined processes
- Robust text markers and annotation tools
- Automation for workflows

Cons

- The workflow method requires a little more thinking because it isn't necessarily a linear workflow. Multiple stages could be happening simultaneously which is a little confusing at times.
- I wish clients and team members who aren't paid users could have a dashboard for active proofs they are on. I know you can pay for lite users - but I wish this was an included feature in the top tier plan.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Choosing Ziflow

Reasons for Switching to Ziflow

It was software that meant our pain point without trying to do too much more. We already have a general project management software - I wasn't looking for something that required duplication of that part of work. Just a platform for proofing that excelled in that area. Ziflow is that at a reasonable price.

Pros

The product allows you to gather comments and approvals from multiple departments in the company. Among the biggest advantages are the historical tracking feature, effective approval process, and customizable review features that tailor your document.

Cons

Pros

As a creative Ziflow is essential for the smooth handover of approved creative works. It honestly cuts down what would be multiple meetings, countless emails and so much chasing, into an easy, streamlined and automated process.

Its also so easy to create workflows so different areas of the business can approve the create at any relevant time.

At first I was saddened to learn that our company was switching from ProofHQ, but soon learned to appreciate Ziflow just as much, if not more.

Ziflow’s Support Team is the best! They always respond quickly and are amazing at troubleshooting anything that comes up. They’re great listeners, willing to take time to understand your concerns and provide the best solutions, and they are wonderful at answering questions and explaining anything you don’t understand. I love how Ziflow is constantly evolving. Ziflow team takes customer requests into consideration for product updates and is always looking for ways to build in features that make our work easier.

Pros

Creating a proof really is as easy as sending an email.
Automated Workflow is my favorite thing about Ziflow. It’s easy to set up, there’s so much you can do with it, and it helps save so much time. (It’s also tremendously fun to use and watch in action.)
You can create Groups to help populate Stages rapidly, instead of entering individual reviewers one at a time.
You can customize the dashboard and set up Favorite Views.
You can set up Favorite Filters to help locate proofs quickly and easily.
You can also set Workflow Templates as Favorites so frequently used templates stay at the top.
Activity/Message tracking on Proof Details Page keeps you informed of what’s going on w/routes.
Everything you need to know about a proof is on the Details Page; when you hover your cursor over the D on the SOCD progress indicator, you can quickly tell when a reviewer made a decision.
The Proof Viewer has many useful tools and settings, with a side-by-side comparison mode which allows you to view against not only different versions of the same proof, but also against other proofs.
Adding Users/Guests and setting up profiles is quick and easy.
There is flexibility in customizing what Users and reviewers are able to do or view.
You can create folders/subfolders to keep your proofs organized.
Multiple Stages in Workflow allows you to categorize reviewers for easy identification of who’s who.
Ziflow helps you stay organized and efficient, and keeps you on top of your projects.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that I love using Ziflow so much I spend more time sitting in front of the computer than I probably should!
