Frontify Erfahrungen

Empower your brand!

Kommentare: I highly recommend Frontify to all companies who need to boost their brand and marketing materials. I dont want to miss the oportunity to thank [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] (our Guest Experience Manager from Frontify) for her continuous help. Overall, since its implementation Frontify has had a positive impact in our company and how our employees interact with our brand, which each day is being used more and more.

Vorteile:

Frontify helped us to better organise our brand materials throughout the company. It's a platform easy to use that alows you centralize all your content virtually.

Nachteile:

It has been a great experience so far. No problems at all.

Our unified platform for everything around the brand and its design

Vorteile:

With our Brand Portal (frontify), we have one global platform for everything around our brand and its design. The platform has been implemented in August 2019 and is globally available for our 30k employees. They have access to all style guides, an asset library with more than 60k assets, as well as many other important brand topics and elements. The platform is managed by our global Brand & Corp. Design as well as UX team. Maintaining, adapting and updating the platform is as easy as 123. The system is pretty self-explanatory, easy-to-use and to navigate.

Nachteile:

At the moment, we're only using the Style Guides and Icon Library products. Both products work very well and comply with our expectations and needs. The two products Publisher and Media Library are currently tested and reviewed. Compared to other products in the market, the Publisher feature from Frontify is not as sophisticated as expected though. Other than that, we're really satisfied with the products and service from Frontify. Also, we've received fantastic feedback from all around the world - our regional and local Brand & Design team are very happy with the platform.

Good

Kommentare: I am quite new at it and havent discovered all the benefits but its great to keep digital assets in one place for various people to use it. A little expensive as you dont get much space for your money

Vorteile:

I like the way you can tag digital assets and also the ability to add externals to upload digital assets

Nachteile:

That you need to add all the main users to each folder everytime

Brand Management and marketing material creation for the rest of us!

Kommentare: It is indeed, a pleasant experience. Currently we are using this tool in only one segment of our business. But since we are seeing a lot of potential and scalability in this tool, which might eventually expand to our whole organization!

Vorteile:

It is extremely easy to use, very intuitive and allows any normal lay person to create breathtaking marketing materials online!

Nachteile:

Font Management: For marketing templates, there should be a 'central, font server type approach' to font management with selection allowed every time to user as opposed to inclusion of fonts in every InDesign package. This makes the InDesign packages heavy every time when we need to include font scripts for different languages.

Brand guidelines made easy

Vorteile:

Building a brand portal from scratch has been a very easy, fun and rewarding experience. The user interface is easy to use and accessible both from an editor and user point of view. The multiple web-parts available make building color palettes, typography pages and logo libraries easy and straightforward. They are highly customisable too!

Nachteile:

The part I liked the least are the "editable/customisable templates". They are potentially great to allow users create their own on-brand creative assets but the templates lack some flexibility and are not as solid as I'd like yet.

Frontify powers our design system

Vorteile:

Frontify is very easy to set up. In no time we had our structure for our product design system up and running. It's very easy to switch between edit and view modes. The text formatting options and the blocks offered make it very simple to create the specifications for components and share them with the development team.

Nachteile:

What I am missing is a way to collaborate in real time with others on the same page in Frontify. I would also like more block options to help explain more detailed interactions in a more visual way (for example I really like the Dos and Don'ts block and would like more options like that). A comment function would also be interesting as well as more sub-navigation options within pages.

Awesome brand tool

Kommentare: Very happy!

Vorteile:

User-friendly and looks current! Not getting complaints from agencies.

Nachteile:

Unable to upload all types of files, but there's a good selection that works.

A great tool that bridges the gap between branding, design and programming

Kommentare: I've been working with a small but quickly growing startup called Just Arrived that matches newly arrived immigrants with simple jobs at Swedish companies. I'm a UX designer at an agency supporting them with both visual design and UX spanning a couple of months. Since my time there was limited I wanted to find a good tool for Just Arrived, where you could store everything regarding the brand (brand manual, design guidelines, UI templates, print templates) in one place with easy access for everyone - designers, programmers, marketers and any of their (future) partners. They had tried other software before, but I found that quite restricting, so I started looking into other software and apps as well. But nothing had the combination of all those things together. Until a co-worker mentioned that they used Frontify for another client. And I fell in love with it! So far it is undoubtedly the best tool I've come across for managing all aspects of a brand, cross-platform, with also being very flexible and super easy to edit and update. The guidelines aren't spread across different software and document types (like in an uneditable pdf) anymore. Now they're very easy to share with anyone who needs assets to make presentations, videos or any type of promotional material and the live code available for UI elements makes it very easy for programmers to develop new pages and functions without depending on a designer to figure everything out first (especially when you use the atom concept and can create ready templates). Everyone also gets an understanding of what the brand values are and why the design is a certain way. It makes the brand a lot more manageable and easier to hand off to the next person. I can't wait to see how Frontify continues to develop and what more functions will be added. So far it's been a great help to me! Thanks for a lovely product :)

Vorteile:

That it manages several aspects of a brand and keeps them in one place, in a neat and good looking way that's easily accessible and editable.

Nachteile:

Some of the minor user interactions aren't completely smooth and there are some minor bugs.

Awesome support and teamwork

Kommentare: Our team is happy to use Frontify brand tool since almost one year. We get awesome support and suggestions on how to improve our customer experience. Our needs are listened and our suggestions are taken seriously. When we find out that something is missing, the product team is ready to put it in the development pipeline and assure that all our request are considered in the future. The strong effort to improve and change what is not working, is a strong driver to work with Frontify in a long term prospective.

Vorteile:

It makes our brand looks consistent and accessible in all the organization. Have everything that we need to control our brand identity and share it with other also externally.  I love the support of the team and how they listen to our needs. This is so important to me.

Nachteile:

The fact that some times there are small bugs (ex. downloads of some templates), but they are fixed really quickly.

Brand Hub for FLSmidth

Vorteile:

Simplicity and easy to use. User-friendly interface for both administrators/editors and users. Visible continuous development of the platform.

Nachteile:

I often experience technical issues (slow loading, errors in libraries), but customer support is always helpful. Sometimes I miss functionalities that I would find important, but we can often work around it.

Frontify is easy to learn and use. As a brand manager this is the tool you need.

Kommentare: Easier overview of our brand, written guidelines to share with whom you have to share them, downloads to ensure that everyone is working with the right logos etc.

Vorteile:

It's very easy to learn and to understand. Further, you can easily share the content with others and you even find the needed topic very quickly. The software is very handy and enables the possibility to explain the brand in a good way. And I'm sure, we still do not use every option Frontify has on offer.

Nachteile:

There is nothing to mention. I am very happy with it. What I could mention is that we do not use every feature and we should really change that.

Brand Management reloaded

Kommentare: Creating and maintaining a cool brand portal including style guides and brand assets and the ability to discuss designs online has never been easier than with Frontify. That's the way to go in the digital age.

Vorteile:

atomic design principle, version history of layouts, easy handling by drag & drop feateures, easy annotating, customization, easy style guide options.

easy to use

Kommentare: With frontify we have a platform on which we can provide content for employees and external service providers. The maintenance of the content is very easy and can be adjusted at any time with little effort.

Vorteile:

I like the easy usability of this software.

Nachteile:

The most difficult point was the preparation of a legally compliant processing contract under Article 28 of the basic data protection regulation

First time its hard to use but after using some times it got better and easy.

Vorteile:

This is the value of your business. Email marketing is fab here. There are many features that will be very useful to market your business. If you are tight in money definitely go for it.

Nachteile:

The first time it is likely hard to use. But after using it several times it just got better. Maybe social media can be improved.

Frontify review

Vorteile:

Ease of use and customization for our different brands that we manage

Nachteile:

Limitations on multiple brands without additional cost

Great!

Vorteile:

Ease of use. Differentiation of level of access.

Nachteile:

Lots of clicks to access images for download.

Brand consistency with Frontify

Kommentare: Frontify is simply the best solution to achieve brand consistency in the digital age. It is an super ease-of-use and we didn't even need to train our staff on it, because it was self explaining in nearly every point.

Great products

Kommentare: Very happy with the product, more team members who learn about it, want access for other applications.

Vorteile:

Its a great product and we've been with them from almost the beginning. Great to see they've worked with us as the product has changed.

Nachteile:

Some limitations on versioning when edits are made. So there needs to be a bit on on-boarding to make sure nothing is removed by accident.

Makes all your brands looking on the front!

Vorteile:

The powerful tools that you can have to take care of your brands.

Nachteile:

Probably that it's not the first option when you look for branding management.

Frontify is great!

Vorteile:

Frontify is a great tool for any company, it has a great UI, this makes it very easy to use for beginners. But Frontify has a lot of functionalities which also makes it great for advanced users.

Nachteile:

I can't think of anything that I dislike about Frontify. Never experienced any bugs.

Intuitive interface

Kommentare: Early days, but we plan to make the tone of voice and visual guidelines more accessible and more detailed for content creators in the company to use. We wanted a portal that looks and feels good so as to encourage people to revisit the site for referencing any information they made need. Ultimately, to make our company brand scalable.

Vorteile:

The user-friendly design of Frontify is the most appealing part of the product. Additionally, the functionality for building brand guidelines is very well thought through.

Nachteile:

It's a bit on the expensive side - particularly if you want to get a domain name.

A true win win scenario for everyone

Kommentare: Frontify, gives us the possibility to showcase our creativity digitally to our clients and give them a modern (easy to use) solution for the good but old fashioned brandbooks. With a Frontify brandbook we can show our clients that we think in modern solutions and make their and off course our work a bit more easy and cheaper. A true win win scenario for everybody.

Great Brand managment tool!

Vorteile:

Frontify allows you to create a very easy and complete online style guide with the possibilities to download the assets directly from the platform. I found this function really great for sharing the different materials within the company members and also outside.

Nachteile:

I think the software is overall very well organized and complete, I don't have any complaints.

Frontify is our favorite solution when it comes to software helping us with our brand management.

Vorteile:

It's so easy to use, extremely flexible, and allows us to focus on the actual brand management instead of maintaining the software that supports the brand management needs.

Nachteile:

Like many robust and flexible software solutions available, there are some minor bugs - but no deal breakers.

Great tool

Vorteile:

Frontify is an amazing solution for us to achieve brand consistency at our company. It's super easy to use -- there was virtually no learning curve!
