Overall Satisfaction with Ziflow
We use Ziflow to collate feedback and amendments on documents across our entire organization. It allows us to collect and address comments and queries within one piece of software, which is helpful for continuity, and is a useful tool for version control as you can see exactly which changes or comments were carried out and by whom.
Pros
- Lots of possible parameters for comments/queries.
- You can tag colleagues in comments to get immediate answers to any queries.
- Provides a useful log of decisions, keeping team accountable.
Cons
- Thorough training needed for new users to explore all possibilities of the software.
- Interface can be overwhelming to new users as there are lots of options to choose from.
- Improved accountability with the detailed events log.
- Improved efficiency as team members can share proofs with one another to save time.
Initially there were teething problems as everyone got used to the new way of working, and inevitably there were technical issues. But as colleagues have become more familiar with the software, it has streamlined our proofing process.
Ziflow has some useful features to capitalise on collaborative working, particularly the ability to share proofs with colleagues, and being able to tag specific team members in comments to highlight certain issues.

Ziflow has significantly more features than Adobe Acrobat Reader, making it a much more effective proofing tool for our organisation. The ability to 'lock' proofs and have a clear log of decisions and actions made also protects the documents from accidental editing and maintains good version control, which is particularly helpful when many colleagues are working on the same proof.
