Overall Satisfaction with Ziflow

Ziflow is the main proofing software used by Campbell Ewald. It's used to electronically route projects from team to team, which eliminates the need for someone to physically route a project. The interface is very accessible, and more than one person can interact with a project at the same time, which eliminates [the] wait time between routes.
  • It is very easy to use. Comment tools are very accessible.
  • Helps with multitasking — you can work on more than one project at the same time.
  • Helps create a quicker workflow process. More than one person can review at one time, and the wait time between routes is shorter for projects with tight turnarounds/deadlines.
  • Love the compare tool. It helps with quicker reviews.
  • It has software bugs. Sometimes you have to refresh to get rid of the bug or call customer service.
  • Wish there were more comment tools. Right now, they are too simplified and rudimentary.
  • Compare tool also needs a little work. It sometimes freezes, but it is still a great tool.
  • Zoom feature is limited.
  • It is a great multitasking tool; I sometimes have up to 15 windows tabbed at any time, which saves a ton of time because I can click from window to window with no fear that the software will crash.
  • It's the quickest proofing software that I have ever used, but it has its drawbacks, specifically with the interface being too simple for some complex jobs.
  • I wouldn't say it improves output, but it helps with workflow issues.
Yes, Ziflow is very simple. Maybe too simple, but what I do like about it is that you can teach someone to use it in like 15 minutes, and the routing helps tremendously with moving projects from team to team.
The collaboration features that Ziflow offers are certainly there, but I don't see many people using it to its fullest capabilities. For example, I wish people in my company would use the comment tool more often.

Would you buy Ziflow again?

Yes

Ziflow is the easiest proofing software I've used.
It's great for multipage projects, such as a brochure or presentation deck. The compare tool is very helpful when reviewing those multipage jobs. Also, it handles videos pretty well. It is clunky with projects that have large surfaces, such as out of home or large posters. You'll need to use the Zoom tool for those jobs, and it's more time-consuming to scan using that tool.
