Happy to Give This Review for One of My Favorite Collaboration Tools
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Sharing pre-approved work with clients can be a risky endeavor. We use Markup.io to minimize the risk on our end. It allows us to share videos and graphics with clients in a space where they can share feedback intuitively and easily. We can track views and comments more easily and this makes the creative process so much better than email. We started using it in the middle of a project and I can't describe how much easily we were able to collate and address corrections.
Pros
- easy to use and appealing user interface
- Affordable packages
- Organized interface
Cons
- Voice suggestions are useful for people who don't want to type
- You don't always see who has viewed the file
- Downloadable comments would be a good addition
Likelihood to Recommend
Scenarios where I find Markup.io appropriate:
Sharing files with a client (as an agency) that are not approved but need to visually assessed.
Sharing short-term files with external teams
Housing client files short-term
Scenarios where it is less appropriate:
Long term storage of team files
Sending approved files to a client
