### "Excellent customization and easy to use platform!"

December 11, 2025

5.0

We had a very easy transition from our prior workflow tool. Robohead is very straightforward and easy to setup and having our staff fill out custom creative briefs based on the project type saves us so much time!

Pros

The ability to customize and refine the service. There's so many different options you can truly develop the tool to fit your specific needs. On top of that, the customer service is excellent, they are very responsive and willing to help!

Cons

The only issue with so much customization is you need to make a lot of decisions on how you want things. So it can be a little trial and error before you get it right. I wish we could customize the survey tool more though, that one is less flexible.

December 10, 2025

5.0

Superb customer service - team is always quick to respond, find solutions, hear you, open for enhancement suggestions and is always communicating with you.

Pros

The ability of customization, user-friendliness, resource utilization and the ease of the review documentation.

Cons

Calendar options to see work / tasks needed. Wish there was a better view for creatives. There isn't a very comprehension view.

November 11, 2020

3.0

I like it despite the glitches I can still work and get the Job done.

Pros

In my end is easy to communicate with agents with their projects.

Cons

RoboHead has glitches that have not been fixed yet, since some of the latest versions. Glitches like missing links Sample: Like when I come from an email link then I click on "REVIEW" I have to click again on "REVIEW" to go to the actual review, also sometimes lags too much that I thought I went to another project and even though I click on the new project, it takes me back to the previews project I was working on. Also, Agents complain about not being able to log in. I don't know exactly why it's happening, maybe because they have poor reception or bad internet location.

### "Amazing customer service but missing some features"

November 17, 2020

4.0

Overall our internal client partners feel that RH gets the job done. We have several older, blue-collar men on our sales and national teams so the user experience and not having an app is a trip up for them (they refuse to use it). Back end is mainly where our frustrations lie with reporting (we have a call set up with customer service to see if we can have a breakthrough there) and not being able to create multiple forms for different types of projects.

Pros

The review tool was a game-changer for our team. Real-time problem-solving has been a huge help for us as well. Anytime we have a question about anything regarding the software we can chat with someone almost always right away without having to go through a phone call or setting up a meeting with an account rep and a customer service person. We also really appreciate that tech support is included in our plan without an additional fee.

Cons

Reporting continues to be a constant struggle for us. I inherited this software which was chosen by a design manager with HEAVY influence from our web developer who has moved to a different role and isn't available to fix these up for us. We have to run multiple reports to get specific numbers (a lot of which has been negated by the monthly email we get from RH so that's a huge help). The user experience is still very clunky especially when compared side by side with competitors (Wrike, WeWork) and not having an iPad or Mobile app is a bit detriment.

Reason for choosing Aquent RoboHead

We have considered switching to Wrike but with all the turnover on who our team reports to we haven't been able to make in-roads in a full software assessment and comparison.

### "Projects are Made Easier with RoboHead"

November 11, 2020

4.0

I started using RoboHead after I had experience with another PM software (Wrike) which was extremely user-friendly and easy to learn. RoboHead had a little bit more of a learning curve, which admittedly made me a little slow to embrace the software. Since then, I've really come around on RoboHead and found it to be quite useful. I think the software could be a little more streamlined and the UI could definitely use a face lift. I would look at Wrike for inspiration on the UI side, but think that RH is vastly superior on the actual planning/backend side of things.

Pros

I like the organization that it provides for my day to day operations and the ease of reviewing creative.

Cons

The lack of being able to build subtasks under tasks can make things difficult. I think the UI is a little underwhelming, and could be improved to make the product look/feel more advance. Also mobile functionality is a major weakness for a marketing managers who are on the road and not always in front of a computer. I feel severely handcuffed if I have to do anything in RH on mobile. This is probably an issue on my team's end, but sometimes individuals get buried with RH email notifications and can't easily discern priority ones.

### "Multi-functional project management system "

December 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

What I like most about this software is how it can be customized to any area of the company. It is a growing project management system that can be changed in a fly.

Cons

The only thing we don't love is the fact about the extra steps in assigning a project and not able to customize the reviews.

November 16, 2020

4.0

Overall, the experience has been very good. We try to utilize all the options available to us, but probably need to make more time to do so. It is great at keeping us on task. I like the ability to create campaigns.

Pros

I like that all tasks and comments can be kept together, as well as reviews and various versions of reviews. I like the ease of editing online.

Cons

I don't like that only one client can see be on the project. It would be helpful if two clients within the same unit could track from start to finish.

### "Software Review"

November 19, 2020

5.0

RoboHead solves a lot of challenges that we would have if we didn't have a software like this. Our little team of 2 people process and traffic anywhere from 100 to 240 active projects within our RoboHead account at any given time. There is no way that our little team of 2 could keep all of that straight and get half the amount of work done that we do if we didn't have a software that could help us track and automate to help keep those projects moving.

Pros

I like that there are automation features within the software itself. It's very helpful to be able to set something up on the front end and rarely have to adjust once it gets going.

Cons

I with there was more automation. In a perfect world, I would love for a request to get submitted, you look it over, approve it, assign the team, choose all of the templates needed and the system does the rest for you and builds out Campaigns and individual projects. In addition, it adjusts the timelines based on the start date & due date that you indicate and auto adjusts the task durations based on this information and while using the data from the Resource Utilization Chart too.

### "Switched to Robohead with Great Ease"

July 31, 2024

5.0

My team went from guinea pig for the use of Robohead at our company to now the entire company is using it. From my perspective we are all using it with ease.

Pros

Robohead was very easy to learn and use. It is fairly intuitive. It's been a great asset at my company to submit and fulfill requests for all departments of the company.

Cons

There are a few minor issues that I have but I'm not sure if it's user error or what. The due dates for projects to line up across views when multiple people are assigned to a project. As a photo editor my deadline is often different that a designer or art director's due date. In my task view the final deadline is what I see but in the details the due date is different.

December 6, 2022

5.0

Overall, I really like it. This is the second company where I have implemented RoboHead for our team.

Pros

I like that it is purpose-built for managing creative projects and their workflow.

Cons

Pros

It is easy to organize tasks and see what is on your plate for the day/week. You can also quickly talk back and forth with co-workers to get necessary answers easily.

Cons

### "Excellent project management solution"

July 31, 2024

5.0

I highly recommend Robohead as a project management solution. The platform has greatly streamlined our marketing workflow and enhanced project collaboration and reporting.

Pros

Robohead has made project management and creative review in our Marketing Department so much more efficient. Through the use of project templates, task dependencies, project initiation and progress management is streamlined. The responsiveness of the Robohead support team is very good in the rare instance of a problem and they are always updating and improving the platform.

Cons

The setup of project templates can be time consuming initially, but well worth the effort as this streamlines the project setup and management for reoccurring projects.

Helps to keep track of priorities, deadlines, and who is involved. Makes us to be accountable.

Pros

Easy to set up and learn; keeps us on track; love the ability to make edits and share with the entire team

Cons

If team members do not pay attention, they can easily turn to using email again for approval. We also need guidance/training on duplicating past events each year; we seemed to have duplicated the dates as well (deadlines) and then requires us to take time to change them.

### "While at first it can seem convoluted, once you dig in deep, you will realize how feature-rich it is"

April 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

What I like most is how detailed you can be on every project. The ability to divide projects on multiple levels (from campaigns to individual projects to individual tasks) and gate them based on what task has been completed is incredibly helpful. Also, the reviews section is set up in such a way that makes collaboration very easy (the ability to compare and contrast multiple versions of a document along with their related comments makes it very easy to track changes and make new revisions)

Cons

The interface is not incredibly attractive, and when first getting used to the software, it can be hard to find what you are looking for. If there are a lot of people making notes on a project, it can be kind of difficult to follow the hierarchy of the thread (It would be better if you could organize notes by users).

Robohead has been a game-changer for our marketing department. The ability to create schedules for our different types of projects, each with their unique tasks is key. The review capabilities allow multiple parties to review a job simultaneously, speeding up our workflow.

Cons

It has been good. When other departments see me using RoboHead, they are impressed with the concept.

Pros

This is a great way for a larger company, with many offices and department, to track their projects. It is really helpful for teams to be properly trained on robohead to understand why it's important to track all changes in one location.

Cons

There are ongoing updates which is great but sometimes there are just not relevant for my role. Also, I enjoy exploring the software but for those who do not take the time to play with it, they can find it overwhelming.

### "Way Better than Lotus Notes!"

November 11, 2020

5.0

It's great!

Pros

The in-browser usage and cloud storage is unbeatable. There are a lot of helpful tools and info visualization options. I really appreciate that the job information fields are customizable by user so I can see my job queue based on the details relevant to me, rather than the default details that someone else has decided are relevant. The robust search features is a major plus for people trying to track down details about an old job or looks for trends among incoming work.

Cons

There are certain aspects that feel unfinished, or at least unpolished. Basic aspects of the interface that you would expect from a browser-based systems to include at the beta stage. Things like being able to open a job in a new tab for easy cross-referencing (instead of having to open a second tab, goto robohead, and then find the thing you want to reference there) or even just opening a job by clicking on it (instead of having the click on a drop-down menu and click on "open project"). Strange things to omit from an other remarkably user-friendly interface.

\[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] have been amazing through the exploration and implementation process - knowledgeable, responsive and just a pleasure to work with. We're just getting into use of the system, and we can already see how it is going to benefit our team.

Pros

Project initiation, project job jacket, schedule, proofing, task management and reporting all in one place.

Cons

The notes section is a bit cumbersome and difficult to sort through. Filters don't stay in place once you log out. Text is very small, file attachment icon is very small, no ability to bold, use italics, underline, use bullets in messages. Also, need to be able to add titles to specific discussion threads created in notes to provide clear and easy collaboration about targeted topics. Overall, we wish the notes space could function more like discussion threads in Basecamp - we feel this would be a big benefit for all of your users.

Reason for choosing Aquent RoboHead

It offered most of the functionality we were looking for in a logical, easy-to-use format.

January 12, 2022

RoboHead is showing us data on exactly how often we are pushing project due dates and we are realizing our patterns and inconsistencies.

Pros

We love the detail that RoboHead offers for project management. Reviews, Gannt chart, in-line editing, reports, RoboScripts, customization, project attribution.

Cons

Reviews should be part of task reports since they are part of the project timeline. Need a better way to show priority of projects and calendar view that can be filtered by user or team.
