Ziflow

Ziflow is well suited to anyone and or business that needs to comment, document or edit multiple proofs and versions. You're able to keep it all in one place.

Ziflow is a great tool to use when collaborating with internal and/or external parties on editing large documents. We hire freelancer proof-readers to review important files, that way we're clear of any grammatical errors before sharing with Clients. Outside of proofreading, I haven't had to use other features of Ziflow much, but I would love to learn other ways to incorporate it in our everyday work flow!

Ziflow is well suited for publishing processes of all nature - from print products to online publications and even media-enriched publications. It is great for working on the go and submitting notes for immediate feedback using the in-built communication capabilities. I have not found scenarios where Ziflow could be considered not appropriate, given that the scope of Ziflow is very precise and fills a specific niche in the market.

Ziflow is best suited for medium to large organizations, the kind where 5 or more people from different departments will be commenting on a proof, projects are created via briefs/dockets that are then assigned to another department, projects are likely to go through multiple revisions because the people who initially assigned the work are not graphically inclined, etc. For freelance designers who are dealing with just one client at a time, it would be overkill.

It is best suited for approval processes and file sharing when commenting is required from multiple sources. This is what the software was made for and does it without any hassle or problems. This system for monitoring which files still need to be approved, which are progressing and which are completed is very straightforward and doesn’t require any in-depth training.

As a company in the product development sector, the majority of projects require input from different departments, such as, Product Development, Marketing, Social Media, E-commerce, etc. Ziflow is a powerful tool that has allowed us to facilitate what before used to be physical documents passing through each department. A single round of comments could take days. Instead, using Ziflow allows us to have all departments involved add their comments simultaneously if a much faster fashion, making the process more effective and efficient.

Ziflow is best suited for advertising, media, design, UI/UX and marketing teams. It is the best choice for organizations looking for a good creative collaboration and online proofing tool. Agencies can deliver exceptional creative content. One-stop platform for feedback on video, web, documents, audio, images, banners, GIFs, and lot more.

Ziflow is great and makes collaboration easy. Depending on how big your project is- you can loop in and tag as many people as you would like. I am a senior project manager who works and manages global teams, and Ziflow made it easy to collate all feedback. I appreciate previous versions are stored so you can go back and review them to ensure all feedback and notes were captured in the "new" versions. Also, having the feature of organizing your proofs into different folders, archives, duplicates is great for file keeping. I always found version control when receiving feedback on creative files, but Ziflow allows you to upload PDFs and docs, and compare them side to side, which helps to ensure everything flowed in correctly. Lastly, the ability to create workflows is incredible and saves you so much time.

As I work in the marketing team with the graphic designer we use Ziflow to get approvals for all of the content we are creating, making it seamless to receive feedback on our work to make immediate changes, uploading multiple versions of a proof to ensure we are all aware of the current correct design and it allows for other teams in the organisation to provide their feedback and approvals effortlessly.

We use Ziflow specifically in reviewing our product materials. I wish it was easier for someone to learn the commenting features - it can be a lot to ask them to watch the Ziflow tutorial (10-15 minutes) or schedule time to go over it with each person. It's great for getting really zoomed in and figuring out the details, but this means that sometimes edits are hard to notice between versions. There should be something in the upload feature where you can reflect this more. We've gone around this by adding boxes around areas that are changed for reviewers to quickly approve the appropriate changes. Even small features like a spell check option or MLA/AP style check or if a word should be hyphenated would be great functionality. Could we add this as a feature where we can teach the system what words are needed for our style and it catches any incorrect punctuations or spellings of those?

Ziflow is great for agencies and clients that require feedback from multiple stakeholders on a deliverable. It allows feedback from multiple stakeholders at once. The only catch is that you can see other people's feedback, so the first person who reviews a document's feedback is visible first.

Ziflow is a must-have for any creative or creative agency. No longer am I hunting down clients non-stop to review something. Most of the time, it's not that a client is lazy or anything. But some less tech-savvy people find reviewing files overwhelming if they don't have good apps. Ziflow solves this problem for them and gives them accountability as there's a visual record now of what they ask and how often they ask it.

Ziflow is extremely useful whenever you need to collaborate on a document that is externally facing. You start by uploading a document, and then add reviewers in. The reviewers can read a brief on what the objective and target audience of the documents are. From there, reviewers can suggest edits, which can be resolved by the author. New versions are easy to upload, and eventually, all reviewers should approve a document before it goes live!

When you require collaboration with multiple parties and stakeholders with both the client and internal team, it makes it easier to have it all in one spot, with everyone able to see what has been pointed out already. It takes a lot of the discussions and feedback out of email, which can easily be lost in translation or emails missed as multiple people reply in such a short time frame or so quickly together. Having specific actions and being able to see exactly what people are referring to. Having an easy to refer to portal for when clients approve items and the ability to have multiple people approve before it's finally completed just has the next level of checking.

I have used Ziflow for detailed letters, and for community event invitations. In both of these cases, Ziflow has been a great way to receive feedback and make changes to getting an approved document. I first used Ziflow as a review to look over community maps and make changes. The back and forth process through email was getting to be too much, so Ziflow helped free up some emails, and get straight to the point of what needs to be corrected and edited. I have enjoyed using Ziflow!

Great for small to medium volume document management.

Ziflow has been great for us as it has allowed our customers an easier way to approve their artwork for us to print. The commenting section of the proofing process has helped us as our previous way did not offer this feature.

We use Ziflow to review all creative work -- anything from print and digital collateral, to emails, to digital/social ads, to PPT presentations. It is perfect for any projects that go through several reviews and rounds of feedback and that have multiple people involved. This is because it ensures you're always reviewing the latest version, seeing comments/feedback from all team members, able to communicate with team members directly on the file, and able to easily reference previous versions.

Ziflow works for us because we are a creative team. We create everything from a nicely designed PDF to a fully animated motion story, and everything in between. My writers still prefer word/pdf with comments directly on it because they can make the changes right there and check them off. Ziflow is great for the back and forth of art and changes that are not made in the piece directly.

Aside from the initial onboarding and the ongoing support from account managers, the experience has been rewarding and productive. I don't have any issues with a lack of capability, and customers have not had any issues working within the platform. I would recommend Ziflow to other organizations for use in their day-to-day operations.

Good scenario: Marketing dept. or studios reviewing artwork offline and collaborating. Also, keep a record of this collaboration and version history. Bad scenario: Using as an official record-keeping service/cloud storage service

Ziflow is excellent at keeping track of user/reviewer comments and altering my team about those comments. It's easy to approve or reject a project and provides enough nuance to the end-user as to the reasons why a decision was made. I love this. I also like the fact that I can create PDFs of every transaction for my records. It may not be exactly clear as to how the archiving system works, but to be fair, I haven't spent a lot of time studying the archiving system.

It fits our needs perfectly and we were able to deploy and integrate it into our systems in a single day. It's best for small teams that are used to working with multiple apps. It probably won't be as appropriate for huge teams that want all of their communications, project management, proofing, etc to live in a single app.

Website-Reviewing Proofing of documents like flyers, folders, books, etc. proofing of videos

I am coming from a very manual system before my time here, I love that I can schedule tasks to waterfall from each other. I love being able to set up groups for easy proofing setups. Ziflow works great when the routing needs to happen in a straight line, but for us it doesn't work so well when multiple people need to review together and see what the others are doing.
