Math Curriculum Expert Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for any company" July 21, 2021 5.0 Pros I really like using Filestage. Is easy to use from day one, and when you are doing colaborative work, there is nothing better. The tools it has to select text or images are great, and the way you interact inside the document with your team members is simple and effective. Cons I could say that you cannot work with a lot of projects at the same time, so you have to erase the older ones. Review Source ND Nina D. Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "No More Scope Creep and Faster Completion of Deliverables" August 3, 2020 5.0 Getting to the final deliverable is more efficient with FileStage. No more emailing PDF files to the client, client adding comments, resending it back, then inquiring about what portion of the document the client was referring to etc. Now we simply can click any part of the document on Filestage and add a comment while Filestage keeps track of each new document (revision) you upload to eliminate the dreaded scope creep. Pros Very easy to use, not only for the business user but most importantly for the client. It is simple for even non-computer savy users. The interface is not overwhelming and I can quickly upload, add reviewers, and make comments all in record time. Cons As a freelancer, it can be a little pricey. However, it seems to already have paid for itself because my sanity is not impacted with having to email PDFs back and forth for small revisions. Review Source CK Celina K.

Es wird allen Mitgliedern leicht ermöglicht, Dateien hochzuladen, Kommentare zu hinterlassen oder sich gegenseitig auf Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten hinzuweisen. Außerdem muss man nicht täglich nachschauen, ob sich etwas neues getan hat, sondern man wird per Mail benachrichtigt. Cons Mir ist teilweise eine längere Ladezeit des Tools aufgefallen.

Filestage is a very helpfull tool to get feedback, because the customer can comment exactly the frame that needs to be changed. You also can upload new versions on the same file, so it is very clear to use. Pros \- easy upload - clear layout - great comment tool - very friendly support - you can update your files to a newer version without any struggle Cons I have nothing to critize. I'm very happy with this tool :) Review Source nS nicolai S. Editor Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "fine video review tool" July 29, 2021 4.0 Pros i like that the client can see and give feedback real fast, and point exactly where to work Cons the web page its bit tricky, and you need to have patience and learn how it works, but its fine Review Source LA Luke A. Global Head of Sales Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simplicity in a complex workflow " March 10, 2021 5.0 Big enough to cope, small enough to care. A great company with a great solution. Pros So easy to use across any type of user. It truly takes the complexity out of the review and approval process. Cons I cannot think of anything that I am missing in the platform right now. Review Source HN Hanney N. Sr. Design Director Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Filestage User" September 10, 2020 5.0 Pros I was really impressed with this software. It was so user friendly and very very organized. I was clear at what stage we were on at each stage of our approval processes. \] It revealed me of multiple emails going back and forth, the software made the process really streamlined. Cons I really did not encounter any issues that I can comment on at this time. Review Source WL William L. Post-Production Manager Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's... mediocre at best." November 14, 2017 3.0 Pros On the bright side, it does do what it claims to do. Most of the time. When there aren't bugs. And they are constantly improving the app, so there's that. Cons But... it's buggy. Often we receive complaints from clients about a video not loading, or not playing back, or not being able to scrub through the video. Or even being redirected to the Filestage homepage without any errors. There are better alternatives, but you have to pay more for them. Review Source TG Thea G. Student Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review about Filestage" July 4, 2019 4.0 We use it to get an approval from our national team to flyer and other design elements. Pros This software is really use to use and very practical to communicate with people who are geographical distanced from each other Cons There is no email when a data is "freigegeben" Review Source PH Paul H. Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We got hooked on filestage right with the first project. Using it for almost all correction rounds." July 18, 2017 5.0 Quick and clean corrections and voting rounds with the customers. Saving a lot of time, effort and nerve. Pros The simplicity of working with it - especially when giving the link of a file to a customer. There is no need for him to sign up, which makes it really easy to use. Also, the usability and the user experience is great. Its actually fun to work with, even considering it is about something as tough as dealing with corrections of customers. Everything is beeing kept clear and manageable. We also love how we can handle nearly every kind of file. Cons It kinda reaches its limit when handling really big pdfs (more than 200 pages), since people are going to download the pdf and will make their comments there, instead of in filestage. Review Source SF Sina F. Marketing Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Filestage verbessert erstaunlich effizient den Feedbackprozess mit Kunden" April 22, 2022 5.0 Pros Die Reaktion unserer Kunden, sie haben sich sehr schnell in Filestage zurechtgefunden. Cons Unser Haupttool ist Asana, manche Kunden binden wir in Asana ein. Wir haben einen Konflikt, wann wir Asana einsetzen und wann Filestage.

Manager, Translation Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simplify advertising approvals" October 28, 2020 5.0 Streamlined the approval process Pros Filestage is easy to use, no manual required! I began using it just a few months ago to approve advertising material, add comments or add missing translations to our advertising material. It streamlines the approval process and allows the different people in the chain to add their comments at the same time. Cons There are many notification emails generated after each step but then that is also a plus as you can track what you've done. Review Source JK Jon K. Video Editor Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product!" July 16, 2020 4.0 Pros Filestage is super easy to use. Even my not so tech savvy clients are able to review videos and add comments with ease. And the ability to mark off and highlight specific areas of concern is very helpful. I also like that you can check off feedback that has been completed. And being able to add new "rooms" for versioning is super helpful too. Cons I don't have too many complaints or issues. It works pretty seamlessly. Review Source SF Susanne F. Regisseurin & Autorin Fine Art Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Schriftstellerseminar" April 1, 2021 5.0 Optimal für den Austausch von Kommentaren, Korrekturen etc. bei gemeinsamer Textarbeit in Seminaren. das zur Verfügung stellen von Texten wird sehr einfach und übersichtlich. Die Ordner bzw. Projekt Anordnung war gewöhnungsbedürftig. es wäre schön, wenn man es zeitlich begrenzt kaufen könnte. für Leute, die kein Abonnement benötigen oder es sich nicht leisten können. Pros Die unkomplizierte Kommentarfunktion die alle Beteiligten homogen abbildet. Cons Die Demoversion ließ einen download der bearbeiteten Dokumente bzw. Ergebnisse nicht zu.

Food Sales Manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use" June 1, 2020 5.0 I've been working remotely for 3 years and I've suffered from not having a tool to organise the review workflow. Now getting my worked reviewed takes less time and effort. Pros Easy to use, supports many file types, charged by active projects and not by file storage or number of files. Cons Sometimes it is a bit slow, specially for users that are force to use older browsers. Review Source PO Paul O.
