    We work with a lot of cross functional teams, so it is nice to have them review things on their own and provide feedback all in the one place for our team to review. It helps cut back on meetings and emails full of feedback that gets lost. This is especially helpful when we are working on our catalogs. We do reviews on Ziflow all the way from rough layouts to proofreading.

    Pros
    Renderforest
    • It's a great place for anyone who wants to improve their business by appearing very professional.
    • Easy to use and to create astonishing vibes with your clients.
    • Communication is very professional and really, really short response period.
    • For those who are more professional but have no time or ideas about what to make for their own business, inspiration is a place called Renderforest

    • Simple and user friendly interface with little if no learning curve.
    • Accurate and specific change requests are especially enhanced when using the markup tools.
    • Nice to be able to assign who the decision maker is and also be able to change project participants easily, like when someone goes on holiday or sick leave.
    • SOCD (sent, opened, comment, decision) progress indicators provide an awesome 'at a glance' view of project participants activity.
    • Email notifications and integration with ASANA is brilliant.

    Cons
    Renderforest
    • Uploading video is slow, processing time and rendering video are often jammed.
    • Some templates have more restrictions, such as the number of words in the title, the number of pictures, the size of pictures and so on.
    • Prices for individual users are not very friendly.

    • Comments with instances that span multiple pages force you to zoom out, which can be rough on multi-page proofs. We end up making a comment on each instance for ease of review.
    • Maybe it is in there, but I would love to be able to upload a new version and review/make comments before any of the other reviewers can see it—to double-check for errors. Maybe there is a verification stage first before releasing it to the other reviewers.

    Ziflow is easy to use, efficient and now is also part of our daily lives. Hence, the teams are already adapted to the tool and willing to work with it. The features are according to all what was expected and we had a great experience until the moment with the tool

    It was very easy. They have a nice help video to guide you along the way that you can turn off if you chose. But It was a quick process and everything tied together very well. I am very pleased with the final product. I will definitely use them again.

    The tool is easy to use for digital oriented people. For the ones not used to this kind of environment, it could look a bit complicated at the beginning, but following the instructions and tutorials and performing it once makes you get a grip of it in just one use.

    Performance
    Renderforest
    Renderforest Video has great performance. In all the time I have used it, I haven't ever really had to wait for anything to be done, except for the rendering time. The reason for not giving the product a full 10 out of 10 is that the page load times in the wizard have left me frustrated at times. This, though, is most likely the result of internet service in a 3rd world country, as opposed to a slow server.

    The ZIflow support team has always been very responsive to my questions, issues and other problems. The good thing is I have never had to use their support team all that much because Ziflow has been for the most part trouble free. If it had been error prone, we would have dropped it long ago.

    Renderforest is far superior. More intuitive and has a bunch of helpful templates. I've found that iMovie lacked in any direction and though there is a lot of freedom, for people who need to make quick and effective media, Renderforest is the better choice. I have really enjoyed my use of it.

    I found Ziflow to be much better than PageProof in several ways. The tools available for making comments and edits are more intuitive and there is a greater variety of tools and the version control features worked much better as well. Also their customer service was far better when it was necessary to interact with the company

    Return on Investment
    Renderforest
    • More time can be spent on interviewing clients and researching and development instead of creating quality graphics.
    • The subscription payment option saves money since we know we need them constantly in the future.
    • The quality of the content is superior to the ability of our on-site graphic design team at less than half the cost.

    • Improved efficiency and time saved in making proofs and adding people to proofs with staging and template features.
    • Robust proofreading features for reviewers like comparing previous versions.
    • In my experience, customer service is quick to help with issues or outages (which aren't often).
