Ziflow was a Game-Changer at Our Office
Overall Satisfaction with Ziflow
At Princess Auto, we use Ziflow to proof the various documents our design team creates. In the past, we used pdfs on a common server, and it was a mess. Every person reviewing the proof would have to create their own copy so they could put their own comments on it. This meant we had to look at dozens of documents, many of which would have the same comments over and over. Then, the process would start all over again once we finished addressing the comments. With Ziflow, everyone is commenting on the same document, and everyone can see what comments others are leaving so we can have discussions about them inside the proof itself, the proofs are saved online rather than on the server so people can look at them even if they're at home, and new versions of the proofs replace the old ones so even if we go through six rounds of revisions, we're still just dealing with "one" proof.
Pros
- Keeps all relevant information related to the project together, including briefs, screenshots, and conversations
- Reduce the amount of documents we have to save on our server
- Make it easy to track which comments still need to be addressed
- Clearly shows at what stage in the project we're at
Cons
- The ability to see a time stamp on when comments were resolved (and be able to sort them by who did, and/or when)
- Time saved - designers only have to open 1 proof and go through the comments within.
- Efficiency - when you open a proof on Ziflow, you can easily see if someone else has already noticed the issue you want to comment on and if there's a disagreement, you can have conversations within Ziflow itself with other people.
- Clarity - Ziflow has multiple ways of making comments, and you can even attach screenshots so it's easy to communicate what changes you want to others.
Do you think Ziflow delivers good value for the price?
Not sure
Are you happy with Ziflow's feature set?
Yes
Did Ziflow live up to sales and marketing promises?
Yes
Did implementation of Ziflow go as expected?
Yes
Would you buy Ziflow again?
Yes
We still use Adobe Acrobat, but only to view pdfs and to create editable forms. Anything proofing-related, we use Ziflow now, and I don't ever see us going back.
