Chose Filestage
We use Slack - but not really for organizing, proofing, or approving projects. We use it more as a communication tool for the employees that are spread across the country. We will occasionally post smaller jobs there - but most of our projects go through Filestage.

It is more affordable and straightforward than Wrike, though in some areas has less functionality. We found it better because it takes significantly less time to undertand than Wrike and Clickup do. It's more expensive than clickup, but again, the ease of use makes it …

Better than PageProof. Different from Workfront, so it's not a 1-to-1 comparison.

StreamWork's Asana integration was the stand-out. I could not find any other platform that integrated so seamlessly into our existing process and automations.

Compared to the other tools that I have used, StreamWork offers the most flexibility for internal and external needs. Workamajig was my favorite for centralizing a creative brief and creating a clear flow of approvers internally, but it never worked as expected with external …

I think Filestage is perfect for projects where there is a team involved and several eyes need to be on the project. I don't think it is necessary for small projects where the approval process only goes through one other person. It also keeps everyone on schedule without being annoying.

1) I like that "Approvals" are on the main nav as this expedites my workflow as I'm QA for all our projects. I save time by not delving down into each project workspace 2) The Approval widget on the dashboard is also a time saver! 3) The "Review Approvals" section - I like being able to see the status of each user's approval process so I can send reminders 4) The "Skip Decision" feature is helpful as we're entering holiday season with folks being OOO.... we want to avoid gatekeeping/blockers. 5) While I haven't yet used the split review process, I can see how it will be helpful on my large-scale, long-term projects.

Cons
  • I would like to see a little more control over sending reminders to review a project. Maybe a notification to let the level of urgency for a rush job for tight turnarounds would be helpful.
  • I would like to have maybe one more level of the folder structure to separate a large group of projects by the user.

  • External Reviewer Experience - making sure they understand how to comment / markup correctly, or simplifying the external reviewer interface even more.
