Overall Satisfaction with Ziflow

We use Ziflow as a review process for video production. We use it to storyboard, layout design, rough cuts, and final videos. We have several contractors, an agency, a client, and possibly an additional brand agency all involved. With so many stakeholders and creatives involved, it is vital to use a tool like this to all speak the same language and be on the same page. Things can get lost and forgotten, and the specificity of notes and versioning keep us all up to date and current on what we're talking about and where we're headed with creativity.
  • Versioning
  • Collaboration and notes
  • Draw on visuals
  • Hosting video
  • User settings
  • Speed of loading tools
  • Learning the tool takes time
  • Proof approval can be confusing
  • Keeps notes and revisions clear
  • Helps us achieve goals faster
  • Creative stays clean and linear
  • Better productivity
It has sped up our review process, but more than that, it allows us clarity to receive notes and act on them in a more precise manner. Clients are happier knowing that they are being heard in a way they weren't before. This also allows them more freedom to be part of the creative process that they may not have felt part of before.
This tool has encouraged us all to bring our creative ideas to the table. Marketers who don't design are now able to give more visual interest in what we are creating, which allows us all to see a clearer picture of what we are trying to create together. Sometimes getting what's in our brain to the screen is difficult, and this helps do just that.

Do you think Ziflow delivers good value for the price?

Are you happy with Ziflow's feature set?

Yes

Did Ziflow live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Ziflow go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Ziflow again?

Yes

Ziflow offers far more features and feels fit for every step of the creative journey. Vimeo feels strictly for the video review process, and Frame feels more open but still just leans toward the video process.
Video review with multiple stakeholders and creatives will need a diverse tool like this. Comments on style frames and storyboards need different tools than on video, and Ziflow does a good job balancing both.
