GoVisually

Minimalism is MAXIMUM

Kommentare: Minimal use of clients time to proof, as well as minimal emails to communicate changes to the client, as well as minimal but very comprehensive proofing functionality. The learning curve to learn how to proof is very low, which leads us to happier clients!

Vorteile:

The reason I came to GoVisually is because of the minimum steps our clients have to see their proofs. Previously we used Mavenlink for media proofing, and even video proofing, but there were SO. MANY. STEPS. our clients had to go through, like signing up for a Mavenlink account and inconveniently forcing the client to educate themselves on Mavenlink’s proofing system, which takes time, as well as getting emails for every little (non-design) project changes, which takes more time; our clients don’t have that kind of time to spend on something that should be so simple. GoVisually is very direct, can send a link to the project without signing up for the system, and the proofing functionality is very minimal and comprehensive. And the emails my clients get are only design changes, that’s it! It’s a very lean and easy system to understand with very minimal steps to get to the proofing with a greater respect of using our clients time!

Nachteile:

I would like to see video proofing someday. At the moment I use Dropbox for this but if I can keep video proofing within GoVisually, I totally would

GoVisually is EXACTLY what we needed for proofing print jobs with our clients

Kommentare: Overall I'm very very happy. I haven't found anything that fits our needs so perfectly. Even though there are a few things I would change, I don't see us leaving GoVisually anytime soon. It is a great product and we're very happy!

Vorteile:

The thing I like the most about GoVisually is that we have one central location where we communicate with our clients (or internally) about a project. They are able to leave comments directly on the file, marking it up and pointing to specific spots, which gives us clear communication so we all know exactly what we're talking about. I love that it keeps track of previous versions and comments so we have a record of our discussion and all revisions that took place along the way. We shopped around for software that would allows us to easily proof and revise PDFs for our print shop and allow our clients to markup those PDFs to make any revisions/comments/etc. GoVisually easily won out over all the other options we found.

Nachteile:

1. I would like GoVisually to be a bit more customizable when it comes to organization of projects. Not every company works with the same workflow, and I'd love to have more control over how I want it to work for me. For example, I would love it if I could set it to automatically connect to a specific slack channel when a new project is created (so I don't have to do it manually). 2. I would reaaallly love it if we had an internal communication option and an external communication option so I can send a proof to my project manager first, have internal comments, and then send it to our client without the client seeing our internal discussion. 3. I would also really love it if we could turn off notifications for our clients so we can control when they get notified about an updated proof being uploaded. Typically I will upload a proof for our project manager to review first, and then we want to send it to the client after we internally review it. But most of the time the client gets notified as soon as I upload anything, and it makes that internal review process more difficult. 4. Finally, I would LOOVE to have comments made in GoVisually automatically be available to be seen directly in Adobe InDesign (kind of like Adobe's own share & review).

The login is problematic and sometimes new revisions get tucked behind old ones.

Vorteile:

Quick link function is useful. Basic uploading is useful. Adding new viewers is easy.

Nachteile:

The login is unnecessary. I wish we could turn that function off. Getting back to the place where you can see all of the proofs is unclear to our clients. They also can't find their other versions on mobile. It's difficult to see older versions. If a client approved an older version, it shows up as approval on everything uploaded before and after that.

Great online proofing & feedback solution for creative & marketing teams.

Kommentare: Really good experience overall. The service is great, the support teams are really helpful & proactive, and I've seen the product receive multiple rounds of meaningful enhancements in the time we've been using it.

Vorteile:

Its ease of use is fantastic. We created an onboarding doc to take a large group of designers & marketing people through the various processes, but I think they could've worked it all out themselves in minutes.Work is easily managed into projects & sections within projects, allowing lots of flexibility in how work is structured. The version control & particularly the side-by-side reviewing feature (to compare versions) is fantastic.

Nachteile:

My main gripe is the lack of notification options - they're either on or off, meaning everyone across all of our teams have them off so they don't get inundated with email updates. It's a simple workaround, but more granular control over what triggers an update would be great.

Awesome software for creative & design team seeking client approval

Vorteile:

Very easy to use, requires minimal training for your team. Clients can access the portal to review and approve proofs using a free account. Full audit trails are visible for each document uploaded which allows you to track the status of any design.

Nachteile:

Not a lot! The only feature I would like added is the ability to add a white-label domain and branding to the portal.
