Nachteile

ReviewStudio impressed me with its seamless performance, and I honestly couldn't find any significant drawbacks. The platform's user-friendly interface, efficient collaboration tools, and excellent project management features made my experience overwhelmingly positive. Highly recommended without reservations

Vorteile

User friendly allowing new team members to easily join the proofing process

Nachteile

adding new users/payment processing. it gives our organization a hard time every time we try to add a new user.

Vorteile

ReviewStudio solves misunderstanding between it's users

Nachteile

There's nothing I dislike about ReviewStudio.

Vorteile

Review Studio had no problem handling our 400+ page catalog, which is primarily why we use the platform. We also use the platform to manage internal proofs and reviews for other clients and projects, and have found it to be very useful in reviews and approval for web or design tasks.

Nachteile

I was excited about the Monday.com integration that recently came out, but we have had some trouble utilizing the integration as the connection does not seem to be reliable at this time.

Vorteile

The fact that we can document internal and external edits to all versions of a project and have it stored in one location.

Nachteile

Some of the tools aren't so intuitive and it can be easy to upload a project to the wrong spot if you aren't paying careful attention.

Vorteile

- URL doesn't change when you upload new proofs.
- you can upload multiple files (mixed file types) to the same proof

Nachteile

- can't add all users to a proof in one click
- the commenting/assigning of tasks is clunky
- communication from the company about updates and outages is poor

Vorteile

Easy to use and share with new clients to get rapid, asynchronous feedback on my work.

Nachteile

There's a tiny learning curve for users that haven't used a tool like this before, and it'd be nice to have a feature to automatically notify logged in clients when I complete tasks or upload revisions.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ReviewStudio

Vorteile

Review Studio is easy to use, easy to onboard new clients and staff, and has all the tools you really need in an online video review platform including tagging team members, real time commenting, and more.

Nachteile

I wish there was 24/7 service options besides email.
I wish the mobile platform was usable to leave comments.

Vorteile

ReviewStudio's intuitive interface and collaboration features accommodates our review and approval process. We especially love the platform's ability to accommodate multiple users and roles, along with its in-platform and external notification systems. Versioning have also been a key feature for us, allowing us to track changes.

Nachteile

We have experienced occasional slow loading times, especially with larger volumes of data. Additionally, we encountered sporadic issues with a specific version of MacOS. While ReviewStudio generally meets our needs, we believe that incorporating a few more features could further enhance the user experience.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ReviewStudio

Vorteile

Having all the feedback and uploaded references in one easy to access place online is crucial for us. It helps keep accountability on both artists and clients. Also, we prefer to support Canadian businesses.

Nachteile

Separating Internal and External comments would be nice. Pricing has increased over the years.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ReviewStudio

Vorteile

ReviewStudio makes it easy for customers of all technological levels to leave notes on projects.

Nachteile

It needs better global setting controls. I'd like to be able to disable unused features that cause repetitive data entry.

Vorteile

The ability for my team to collaborate for reviewing image and video content whilst working from different locations.

Nachteile

Does not seem to have an 'undo' feature.

Vorteile

Being able to clearly see where the requested alterations are needed and being able to compare new versions with previous versions of the document

Nachteile

I would change the realtime refresh of changes to the website for one, and I would prefer it if there was an option to insert a link to source materials (such as a link that can be clicked to a file on cloud storage like Google drive).

Vorteile

Literally everything about ReviewStudio is fantastic from the reliability of the tool itself, ease of use. Minimal learning curve, and deployment through the organization, they are all best in class. Customer support is a blessing and its the best tool we've seen in a long time, that's why we went with it over the others. Go premium. Go ReviewStudio. you'll be glad you did..

Nachteile

Pricing could be more welcoming for larger teams. But it's still worth it if your goal is to get your job done and have clients happy.

Vorteile

It makes approval process easier both internally and externally.

Nachteile

reminders to review the work regularly and daily

Vorteile

ReviewStudio makes it really easy for our clients to leave their feedback in one place and directly related to specific areas of our design work. Without it, we received feedback via email, in Word docs, and generally all over the place.

Nachteile

Some of our clients have a higher barrier to entry and feel hesitant to try a new tool, or find the features confusing at first.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

I'm a freelance designer who frequently works with small teams, and projects require feedback from everyone before they can be signed off and sent to print. ReviewStudio is an amazing tool to keep everyone on the same page. The markup tools are very straightforward, and my clients have also remarked how easy the software was for them to use and navigate.

Most importantly, ReviewStudio helps my clients save time by avoiding duplicate suggestions, and it helps me save time by containing all the markups in one place. No more digging through email threads or passing marked up PDFs back and forth.

Nachteile

What really bothers me with this software is how it scrolls with a mouse. You can scroll up or down infinitely it seems like, and it's easy to lose your position if you're used to navigating documents this way.

I wish this could be fixed by either limiting the space above/below the page for a single-page document, or by enabling scrolling to view the previous/next page for a multi-page document. This is how our design software works, and I intuitively want to scroll to move between pages.

Vorteile

I really like the interface and that is supports a ton of formats and file types as well as the ease of use. Just what I was looking for.

Nachteile

I think the Client and Project details are pretty bare boned, but I track that elsewhere anyway, so while it doesn't impact me, it would be a nice update.

Vorteile

Most of my clients are in other cities. The ability to look at various types of media in an interactive way is extremely helpful. It allows me to further a connection with my clients and helps ensure that our communication is effective. Beyond the interactive features, it's also great to be able to post media for review and comment at a client's leisure.

Nachteile

The only problems I've had with ReviewStudio relate to my hardware. I use a Wacom tablet and I find the responsiveness of the toolbar quite inconsistent and I have to be very specific with how I switch between tools or else nothing happens. The other problem is with my new 4K monitor. For some reason the zoom controls don't respond as expected. That said, these are not unworkable issues for me.

Vorteile

It is easy and secure to share video projects with clients.

Nachteile

I would prefer if we could make it more proprietary.

Vorteile

My client loved that you could see how the project progressed through the different versions and we both were able to collaborate with ease. It made me look very professional!

Nachteile

It was a little difficult at first to understand how to send a notification that a project is ready for review. I had entered the client into the program, but it seemed that I had to do it again each time I sent a review to him.

Vorteile

The software is very intuitive and is packed with a plethora of tools. The dashboard is great and makes organization of our internal files a breeze. The robust toolset makes it easy for anyone to pick up within minutes of using, and there are handy keyboard shortcuts to boost productivity as well!

Nachteile

I'm going to be picky here, and it's a very minimal gripe, but the mouse movements/gestures are a little touchy and can cause you to "flick" the document out of the proofing plane. But this is remedied by pressing 0 (zero) to center the view!

Vorteile

Very useful and fast. it is cool messenger.

Nachteile

Technical service was bad. Responses should be faster.

Vorteile

Centralized Feedback: Review Studio allows team members and clients to gather in a single, organized platform for reviewing creative work. This centralization of feedback prevents the confusion that often comes with managing multiple versions and sources of input.

It supports real-time collaboration, enabling team members to discuss and make decisions faster. The ability to annotate directly on media files simplifies the communication of specific changes or approvals needed.

With support for a wide range of media types, including video, images, and documents, Review Studio is adaptable to various project needs, making it a versatile tool for creative teams.

The platform facilitates shorter review cycles by providing clear, actionable feedback directly on the content. This efficiency can lead to faster project completion times and improved productivity.

By leveraging the API, teams can automate repetitive tasks, such as uploading new versions of files, updating project statuses, or notifying team members about required actions. Automation reduces manual effort, minimizes the risk of errors, and speeds up project delivery.

Nachteile

Finding specific images or navigating through large collections can become cumbersome in Review Studio. While the platform provides tools for organizing and tagging, the user experience might still be overwhelming for projects with a vast array of images, potentially leading to inefficiencies in the review process.

Vorteile

really user friendly. in production, thes graphists use it everyday, and the feedbacks from the clients are really good

Nachteile

the loading time to access to one review

Vorteile

It does exactly what we need it to do. Go through a approval and check process for all artwork.

Nachteile

If something is rejected in a workflow, the work flow ends there and there is no way of creating an alternate workflow for the rejection process.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Having everyone involved in the project internally and from a client point of view being able to review and provide feedback instantly.

Nachteile

Sometimes there is a slight lag in loading of the files.

Vorteile

It allows both the client and agency to make changes in the most simple and easy way or process to follow.

Nachteile

Clients are sometimes confused on how to use it but once they get the hang of it it becomes easy to use.

Vorteile

A maneira prática e objetiva que são debatidos os ajustes de um projeto.

Nachteile

Não existir uma versão em Portugues BR, iria facilitar nosso trabalho.

Vorteile

Email alerts include an image of the item to be reviewed.

Nachteile

Occasional glitches, but we've never had anything big enough that required support.

Vorteile

The ease of setup, the training provided, the ease of support.
Interface is easy.

Nachteile

Cannot refresh updated link. have to upload link everytime.
Besides that all is good

Vorteile

Ability to track all comments.
Ability to archive comments.
VERY easy to use.

Nachteile

Checking on comments away from a computer can be a bit tedious. An app or better UI for remote checking of comments would be nice.

Vorteile

It helps with the reviewing process internally.

Nachteile

Sometimes reviewers may have bad signal which could lead to them not being able to make comments

Vorteile

My team and I consistently say "I wonder if ReviewStudio can ___" and they answer is almost always "YES!". It's the perfect tool for our program management and fielding approvals from multiple different internal and external parties.

Nachteile

When account support was needed it was slightly difficult to get ahold of someone, but once we did the service and support was great.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Ability to put multiple reviews into a project, or put multiple files into reviews.

Nachteile

Markup tools could be expanded on. Also the timeline loops all the time on accident, the feature is nice but very touchy as it is.

Vorteile

Very simple and easy to use. Clients can set up guest accounts with just their name and email address which was imperative for us.

Nachteile

Exporting feedback is not great - it's a difficult to use Excel spreadsheet. Other platforms provide the marked up image with all of the comments in a PDF format. Moving files around in a review is clunky.

Vorteile

Does everything we want it to do, and at a very affordable price.

Nachteile

Really, we don't have any complaints about the product

Vorteile

Very easy to organize and review projects, delegate tasks and get the revisions done smoothly.

Ability to have internal/external review processes

Nachteile

They improved recently the ability to see multiple projects from one client. I guess a basic list view option would help navigating through long lists.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Easy for my clients to use, and keeps everyone on the same page

Nachteile

No archiving, which would be awesome and make it complete.

Vorteile

All of the content that I am creating for my clients can be organized in one place for the clients to provide feedback on it. This saves a lot of time, and it is easy to use.

Nachteile

Adding emails manually every time to a new board.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Clients like it a lot. Saves them time and all can see each others remarks.
For us it's much easier and better too. Reduces the communication errors

Nachteile

That I have to pay for it :) and sometimes when there are issues. But they respond fast

Vorteile

Makes proofing fast and easy for internal and external teams

Nachteile

none, this service is everything I need, and I am happy with the product

Vorteile

Its a convenient Platform that allows both the agency and the client to review and approve documents.

Nachteile

It was a bit confusing when I started using the platform, but after a bit of training, it was actually very easy and convenient to use.

Vorteile

It makes the approval / reviewing process alot faster

Nachteile

At the moment there is not any cons that I have over Review Studio
