### "Internal and External Proofing"

April 20, 2020

5.0

We've been able to solve the following: - Accountability on updates (client or employee issues) - Better attention to details (senior staff overseeing junior staff work before sending to client) - Time saved on emailing proofs and tracking what was/wasn't done. - Getting clients on board with the same proofing process. Previously some clients printed, then marked up proofs, then scanned and sent back. Others just sent a list of updates through email. Others marked up in Adobe Acrobat. Great to have everyone on the same page using the same tool!

Pros

We needed a proofing tool to streamline our approval process internally and externally. I like that we can do internal reviews before sending proofs to clients. This helps me train my Senior staff to pay more attention to details and make sure they're catching any issues with proofs before sending to the client. Clients love the ability to see previous versions. The software also allows for accountability on updates. We're able to track if updates were made for clients and if clients missed updates.

Cons

Overall the product is very intuitive, but with so many options in the proofing proces, onboarding can be difficult at first and training clients can take some time. But once everyone is on the same page on how the process works, it's a great tool and worth the effort.

Reason for choosing Ziflow

Nothing was as feature rich/robust enough to do what we needed. Ziflow got us the exact proofing process we needed.

[GoVisually](https://www.capterra.com/p/175993/GoVisually/)

GoVisually was a great and simple tool, but it didn't have enough features to accomplish the proofing process we wanted. If Ziflow can't do what you need, you're likely not to find a proofing tool that can do what you need. Ziflow is very robust and feature-rich.

### "Easy Reviews"

October 31, 2025

5.0

Love it! I can't say enough good things about it and I'm constantly recommending it to everyone I talk to in the industy, when discussing proofing or our workflows.

Pros

I enjoy how easy it is for us to mark up proofs at every step of the way, both internally and for our clients. As a project manager, I especially appreciate how seemlessly it integrates with our project management software, to ensure approvals happen fast and in a more automated fashion.

Cons

The way it integrates with Microsoft Word for copywriting and with some of the web features seem a bit clunky. It would be nice if we could figure out a way to integrate it seemlessly so that all users could have a better experience.

### "Ziflow "

June 25, 2019

3.0

It’s ok.... can probably have someone build this for me for $500 overseas with the same functions. Most customers do not use the tools to show changes. Mostly everything is emailed or commented.

Pros

Editing and communication area for the customer.

Cons

Backend search is not the greatest. Having a google type of search on top for everything that is available in our account is needed. Very hard to search for certain proofs.

### "HJ - ZiFlow Review"

September 11, 2025

5.0

Pros

The Manager to Client usability is something that has come a long way in recent years and ZiFlow makes it easy for us to communicate effectively and efficiently with our clients.

Cons

I would say the only downside I have with ZiFlow at the moment is the outreach on hearing what their clients are wanting in regards to new features. We have been asking for a while now to bring the option to edit our clients comments, it has been almost a year now and we always are told "its coming"

Response from Ziflow

September 12, 2025

Thanks so much for the feedback and for sharing your product input! Editing client comments is definitely something we'd like to add in the future. Right now, we've been heads-down on some big launches—like Checklists, importing comments from PDFs, and ReviewAI—so it hasn't made the top of the list yet. When we prioritize features, we look at how valuable they'll be to customers, how widely they'll apply, their impact on performance and usability, whether they unlock future improvements, and how they align with our long-term vision for Ziflow. You can also check out our ideas board (https://www.ziflow.com/ideas) to see what else we're exploring and how we manage requests. Your input really does make a difference—thanks for helping shape the roadmap!

### "Ziflow Gets The Job Done For Proofs"

January 26, 2026

5.0

Before using Ziflow we were constantly sending emails back and forth with attachments and different versions of designs and now every thing is kept in one location. Meetings are shorter because people can review the information at their leisure. We are able to keep better tabs on the changes made to the documents as well, therefore less will fall through the cracks.

Pros

I like that I can just simply upload a design or video and then everybody can markup and add comments to it directly on Ziflow -- no need to send emails back and forth with a bunch of screenshots. I also appreciate that it tracks approvals so there are never lost communications. I really like the threaded comments as well because they help when there are disagreements about changes.

Cons

The free version of Ziflow limits the number of files that can be uploaded which is terrible for when I am testing new things. Also sometimes when uploading large files it takes forever and it really bothers me. It sounds petty, however I feel that the interface has far too many buttons and I often find myself clicking the wrong button by accident.

### "Ziflow is a game-changer!"

September 9, 2025

5.0

I have told so many friends and acquaintances about Ziflow because it has been that impactful for my workflow. I can't recommend it enough!

Pros

Ziflow has changed the game for our company and internal communication between departments! The security Ziflow offers is top-notch and allows sensitive documents to be sent and reviewed with no issues. I started at my current company just as we began to utilize Ziflow, and the customer support I received while setting up my account was incredibly helpful and swift. Coming onboard as part of our marketing department, the project management aspect of Ziflow offers has saved us hundreds of hours and has streamlined our workflow in an unbelievable way.

Cons

I think if I had to choose one con about Ziflow (which is difficult to do), I believe it would be to do with the ease of recalling how to edit stages within the workflow. For example, if I need to add an individual to a stage, it takes me a moment to remember how to make this happen, as there doesn't seem to be a clear "edit" button.

### "ZIFLOW REVIEW "

February 2, 2026

4.0

The Ziflow web platform provides a robust and efficient solution for managing creative reviews and approvals. Its centralized proofing environment, advanced markup tools, automated workflows, and strong version control significantly improve collaboration, streamline feedback, and reduce project turnaround times.

Pros

1 Review and approve all creative assets — including images, documents, video, audio, and live websites — in one centralized platform rather than across email or disconnected tools. 2 Enhances clarity by keeping all comments, discussions, and decisions directly tied to each asset. 3 Easily invite multiple reviewers and track feedback, improving accountability and accelerating team coordination.

Cons

• Considered costly for smaller teams or organizations with limited usage, particularly when licensing is based on the number of seats. • The platform’s broad range of features can create a steeper learning curve, making the interface feel complex or overwhelming for new or occasional users, especially those unfamiliar with online proofing systems. • I Prefer a cleaner review mode without visible comment indicators to better assess the asset without distractions. • There may be occasional challenges when uploading certain proof types, such as URLs not loading correctly.

### "File Transfers Don’t Fail When Internet Connection is Poor"

January 15, 2026

5.0

We stopped sending DVDs to clients by mail since no one uses disc drives any longer and it also saves me from explaining to the sales team how to use ftp each week. And now they simply drag & drop the files and I can get back to doing real work.

Pros

It is doing a good job handling the large files without freezing (which is way more than I could ever say for our email server). The “Spaces” feature is fine for organizing once I finally get around to using it. It does upload pretty quickly on this awful Office wifi.

Cons

Honestly the price is too high for what it does and one major complaint I have is trying to find older documents I've already downloaded is an absolute nightmare. And also occasionally the interface freezes up and I'll need to refresh 2-3 times before I can see the file preview. I wish there were better tracking features in the express version so I would be able to tell if the client actually opened the video/file.

### "Takes the pain out of creative project management!"

September 11, 2025

5.0

It has made our creative process and project flow so much simpler, and very straightforward to see who has opened, reviewed, and approved, keeping everything manageable and on track. As a designer that is an immensely valuable time saver!

Pros

It makes it incredibly easy to track and respond to comments on creative projects! As a longtime designer, juggling rounds of feedback and getting approvals/input (and then reinforcing it after deadlines pass) is always a huge headache. Ziflow is the first platform I've used that actually manages this for you.

Cons

It can be a little bit hard to navigate the options for each draft - sometimes you need to edit/replace a PDF without creating a whole new version (even a minor one), and sometimes you need to carry some incomplete comments forward into the next round of feedback to continue the discussion. Would be great to have an easy way to edit projects/approvers/keep comments in later versions, right from within the draft viewer.

### "Powerful Tool with a Learning Curve: My Experience with Ziflow"

August 30, 2025

5.0

I've been using it since 2019. So far so good and very easy to manage multiple projects and versions.

Pros

Easy to manage the proofs for all the marketing projects. It's every intuitive when it comes to proofing workflow. Love that they have custom domain and branding features. Also the contact list that I can keep my client's emails when I send it. Customer support is very responsive and listen to my issues.

Cons

To get the most out of this powerful tool, clients will need to invest some time in learning its advanced features and functionality.

### "ZiFlow makes the project review process painless"

March 11, 2022

5.0

ZiFLow has completely eliminated the need for paper proofs. The process of routing projects for review and markup has become more efficient. Also the online platform doesn't hog my bandwidth. which allows me to keep working while in the review.

Pros

The user interface is easy to understand. My team was able to hit the ground running when we switched to ZiFlow. Color coding of comments and status tagging allow us to easily recognize who is asking commenting and who needs to engage a comment.

Cons

Sometimes comment can be hindered when stage permissions wouldn't allow a user to address something that was actionable after their stage had officially closed.

[Zoho Assist](https://www.capterra.com/p/112011/Zoho-Assist/)

Zoho is clunky and didn't allow for the type of handoff and tracking I expected. The customization we need was not easily implemented and customer service was slow to respond. The program stopped sending notifications and would not sync when new tickets were added. It became easier to route jobs through email than use the program. ProofHQ was easy enough to use, but didn't provide the type of sharing and customization that my team needed.

### "The best way to review and track comments on images, documents, websites and videos."

March 20, 2020

5.0

Our business produces marketing assets, images, and computer-generated imagery for the architecture and real estate development industry. We review and comment on work every day using Ziflow. Ziflow provides a significant benefit to our team, clients and other project consultants. It is the best solution we have found to track comments on the work we have produced and keep things organized, clear and concise in one place. I've also found other unexpected ways Ziflow provides value. Initially, I thought it would only be valuable for reviewing images and assets we create, but it's often used for clarifying documents and assets we receive from external consultants the are important to get clear on so work can be completed efficiently. I reccomend Ziflow to anyone who asks.

Pros

\- Tracks comments very well. Keeps everything organized and in one place. - Integrates with our brand very well. Looks very professional to customers - Makes it easy to configure stages of comments so different groups can review after other groups have.

Cons

\- Not really any so far. Any question or concern I had is promptly addressed by their support team.

[ProofHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/118040/ProofHub/)

Reason for choosing Ziflow

It is the most robust proofing and online review solution that has all of the functionality we require to efficiently manage and track comments on the work we receive and produce. Every other proofing tool we tried out or used was lacking in functionality or ease of use for our clients. Ziflow creates a fully branded experience around our brand and makes it feel less to our clients like they have to learn and use another external tool.

### "Incredible Proofing Tool"

August 15, 2024

5.0

I began using it with one job, switched jobs, and recommended it to my new team. We onboarded it and have been using it ever since, and everyone loves it! It has streamlined our processes so well.

Pros

I love the simplicity of use and all of the features that are available. It is by far the best review tool I've used.

Cons

Sometimes, I wish I could customize the stages for secondary and third revisions, like skip people rather than delete the stage altogether. If that makes sense!

Switched from

[ProofHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/118040/ProofHub/)

August 16, 2024

Our design, Regulatory, and QA teams are constantly passing our creative assets back and forth for many different stages every day.

Pros

Ziflow makes it extremely easy for our creative projects to go through the various stages of approval in our highly regulatory environment. Their team is always quick to jump in to help us set up workflows or fix major issues we may encounter.

Cons

There have been some updates that have made a couple of extra steps, for example when you upload a new proof, the page does not stay on the proof that I was previously working on and you have to do a search for it.

### "Ziflow makes creative proofing for multiple stakeholders easy"

May 17, 2023

5.0

The benefits our team sees is better organization throughout the revision process. Ziflow has reduced the time it takes for our designers to gather and implement feedback, and the user experience for non-technical stakeholders is excellent.

Pros

Ziflow replaced a tedious workflow of generating PDFs and sending emails back and forth to dozens of stakeholders. Our design team had to manage hundreds of emails in multiple threads. Ziflow makes this process easy for our non-technical users through the comment and markup toolsets. The versioning helps us stay on track and organize our revisions without losing the archives or having to sift through emails or written comments.

Cons

Occasionally we have issues with the markup tool placing comments in the wrong locations in the document.

### "An efficient and robust program for all your proofing needs."

August 17, 2023

5.0

Very positive. I've used various proofing programs in the past and the many features baked into this one with a robust search function makes it easy to submit proofs, receive feedback, go through the usual back and forth and store everything once it's completed.

Pros

Ziflow's search function makes it really easy to quickly go back and view projects. Of course, your file names should be specific in the first place but if your projects are labelled correctly, searching will be a breeze.

Cons

It was great but there was recently a radical visual overhaul that was unexpected. It will take some getting used to but hopefully it's for the best and I discover new and faster ways to improve my work flow.

### "I'm Addicted!"

November 10, 2020

5.0

At first I was saddened to learn that our company was switching from ProofHQ, but soon learned to appreciate Ziflow just as much, if not more. Ziflow’s Support Team is the best! They always respond quickly and are amazing at troubleshooting anything that comes up. They’re great listeners, willing to take time to understand your concerns and provide the best solutions, and they are wonderful at answering questions and explaining anything you don’t understand. I love how Ziflow is constantly evolving. Ziflow team takes customer requests into consideration for product updates and is always looking for ways to build in features that make our work easier.

Pros

Creating a proof really is as easy as sending an email. Automated Workflow is my favorite thing about Ziflow. It’s easy to set up, there’s so much you can do with it, and it helps save so much time. (It’s also tremendously fun to use and watch in action.) You can create Groups to help populate Stages rapidly, instead of entering individual reviewers one at a time. You can customize the dashboard and set up Favorite Views. You can set up Favorite Filters to help locate proofs quickly and easily. You can also set Workflow Templates as Favorites so frequently used templates stay at the top. Activity/Message tracking on Proof Details Page keeps you informed of what’s going on w/routes. Everything you need to know about a proof is on the Details Page; when you hover your cursor over the D on the SOCD progress indicator, you can quickly tell when a reviewer made a decision. The Proof Viewer has many useful tools and settings, with a side-by-side comparison mode which allows you to view against not only different versions of the same proof, but also against other proofs. Adding Users/Guests and setting up profiles is quick and easy. There is flexibility in customizing what Users and reviewers are able to do or view. You can create folders/subfolders to keep your proofs organized. Multiple Stages in Workflow allows you to categorize reviewers for easy identification of who’s who. Ziflow helps you stay organized and efficient, and keeps you on top of your projects.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that I love using Ziflow so much I spend more time sitting in front of the computer than I probably should!

We have recommended and used Ziflow with several clients now. The Ziflow team has always been avaialble to set up demos and training, and their support team has always been incredibly responsive. ZIflow is a tool we lean on and we've had nothing but a good experience with them.

Pros

Ziflow has made collaborating with our clients and routing proofs both internally and externally a breeze! We handle a lot of email marketing promotions for one of our clients and Ziflow is very integral to the day-to-day process.

Cons

I do wish there was a way to download a PDF of HTML proofs with all of the comments associated with it, but I understand that this would be very difficult from a technical perspective.

July 14, 2023

5.0

I love Ziflow, it has taken a bit longer to implement it through all projects, mainly due to the volume of projects, and having to explain to clients for the first time how to use it. It would be great if there was additional material to provide to clients.

Pros

I like how easy it is to upload and export drafts/proofs and upload new versions. It is easy to navigate the site, and check other drafts/proofs for client convenience.

Cons

The live tours and a bit challenging to work off of, as they take screenshots, and it's difficult to follow the edits for other reviewers. Not as simple as a still image. It's also just a tad tricky clicking the comments to appear. Also, when you are uploading, sometimes the files don't go in order, so I need to manually make sure they are in order for compare mode.

As our creative team has transitioned to operate in a remote environment due to the pandemic, Ziflow has helped us continue to collaborate on complex projects and streamline the review process. Whether we're working with our internal teams or with our clients, Ziflow allows us to effectively capture feedback in a way that is easy to use and understand.

Pros

Implementing Ziflow into our existing workflow was very easy, and it's simple enough for our external clients to figure out without issue. I appreciate that it allows us to collaborate on projects and effectively share feedback even though we are all working remotely.

Cons

It would be great if there was an easy way to get a birds eye view of all active projects at a glance.

Very happy with this product and would definitely recommend it to other organisations to ensure their approvals process is streamlined and simple.

Pros

How efficient it is in receiving feedback and also provides a great platform to upload our content where it can be shared, seen by many users and reviewed with feedback.

Cons

That the proofs send themselves to an archive folder if they are deemed inactive after a certain period of time, sometimes it takes a little longer on certain projects, especially when we have competing deadlines, so it can be quite frustrating when they remove themselves as we sometimes forget about those projects.

### "(Almost) All-in-One Proofing tool"

August 6, 2021

4.0

Overall, Ziflow has made proofing files much easier and faster. It lacks the ability to proof some file types to our specifications, but the other features more than make up for this.

Pros

Ziflow has helped us sythesize the methods we use to proof files. We used to mark comments directly on a PDF with Adobe Acrobat, leave comments in Sharepoint, or comment directly in our project management application. Now, all of the comments from each person are in one file. Ziflow makes it much easier to track the stage of review a project is in, find all of the comments, respond to comments and ask follow-up questions, and easily give notification when a proof is ready. Did I mention the automatic email notifications? It's much easier than having to craft a separate email and make sure that everyone that needs to be included in included. The interface takes a bit of time to understand and get used to, but the mark-up tools provide all one needs. I love that we are able to proof JPGs, PDFs, actual live websites, and video. The ability to mark a specific time in a video makes these types of reviews so much less cumbersome!

Cons

As with anything, there is a learning curve, and change is more difficult for some people. As much as I love being able to mark up multiple types of media, we still add proofing comments directly to Word documents because of the ability to track changes. We do the same with PowerPoint files because Ziflow does not allow one to comment on Talking Points. We also have has sporadic success with proofing emails with Ziflow and have decided to stick with our old process. The process for setting up a proof is a bit confusing, but I am more often on the receiving side and don't need to do so as often. There are also some features that come at a premium price that our company has decided not to purchase.
