### "Ease of use is great"

October 8, 2019

4.0

Makes our process a lot easier. Can be helpful with multiple users to get work done across the business.

Pros

Great for auditing, made it so simple and the UI is extremely well done and thought out so it's so easy to jump into it and get started without spending hours on trying to figure out next steps. So, bravo for a lot of UI/UX work done before bringing this to customers.

Cons

The lack of flexibility with uploading projects and files - it is clunky and slow to upload and keep organized. Can easily get frustrated with slow load time and time outs.

### "Admation"

December 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's easy to see which projects and deliverables require action, and making changes to designs is an easy and intuitive process. I also like the content database for accessing previously used images.

Cons

The briefing process is a bit confusing and there are so many options for tabs within projects and deliverables that it's sometimes hard to know where to place information.

Hi there, Thanks so much for taking the time to review admation! We really appreciate your feedback. We've recently removed the tabs within projects and have replaced them with a single scrolling view! We hope this makes it easier for you to locate items within your project. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can assist with! Best wishes, Samantha

### "It's confusing where to find things, not displayed in a visual way for visual people"

September 26, 2017

4.0

Pros

The "Resources" button is the most useful for seeing how people's days are filled and how much time I have allocated towards projects.

Cons

It's just extra work- we're not sure if files get sent properly through admation so we have to double down and email them also- we need to double book- first on admation and then on google cal; these features should be synced so only one action needs to be taken. Admation needs better integration with Google. Also, tasks should be shown for visual people; given an option to switch views.

Hi Sylvia, Thank you for your recent review of admation. We really appreciate the feedback. Sylvia, our team is aiming to have the ability to subscribe to your admation calendar available in the next 6 to 9 weeks. Currently, admation users are able to subscribe to Project Dates, Away Days, Meetings and Approval Deadlines, and we believe our users should also be able to subscribe to their Tasks. Regarding how tasks are displayed, on the Tasks page there is a List and Calendar view option available under the 'My Tasks' section. Please feel free to contact our friendly Support Team who can provide you with any additional help or information. Many Thanks, Admation Support Team.

### "Overall good functionality"

July 24, 2019

4.0

Pros

The workflow is simple and customisable. I particularly like the Feedback and Proofing user interface which allows for batch feedback and approvals.

Cons

Frequent timeouts and dropout that often result in losing whole briefs.

Hi Candice, Thanks so much for taking the time to review admation! We really appreciate your feedback, and we're glad that you're enjoying our Batch Review functionality. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll continue to monitor these dropout issues for you. In the meantime, we recommend using the 'Save for Later' function, ensuring that brief information is saved to minimise data loss. You may also find that clicking the 'Save for Later' also minimises the occurrence of that 60 minute time out. We recommend that you try it out and let us know how you go! Thanks.

### "Switching to different jobs can be problematic"

September 10, 2019

3.0

It has great potential but our multiple-job high-turnover workflow hampers our efficiency.

Pros

The Approval Module. I like how clients can batch mark up changes when rolling out campaign artwork.

Cons

Switching between modules/windows. Due to the programming, each click loads in a new window. When there's a 15sec lag and you need to navigate to another section by clicking 6 times it gets a little frustrating.

### "Not User Friendly"

January 22, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like the notifications that are given by the software and the fact that you can track projects.

Cons

I do not like how it is integrated with e-mail and how there are a number of functions that are not used and make the process difficult to use.

### "I use Admation to log jobs as well as receive jobs from within the Marketing team."

September 26, 2017

3.0

It enables me to keep track of my deadlines more efficiently.

Pros

I like the ability to view changes and comments digitally on each revision. I like the ability to file jobs with key words. I like that I can see the status of a job by its colour. I find being able to add my own deliverable types really useful.

Cons

The comments made on revisions can take a while to load when flicking from page to page. It would be great if the zoom feature could be improved. I find that grabbing a section to enlarge it can be a bit time consuming. The marketing team would like to be able to download all deliverables at once, especially when we have big campaign jobs with print and digital collateral in a job. We also don't really use the daily revision report email notifications. I would like to be able to scroll down through my list of jobs instead of having to check the second page when more than 31 items have been created.

Hi Amy, Thank you for your constructive feedback. We would like to inform you that admation has undergone some improvements since you last provided your feedback, namely optimising page load times and improving our zoom feature. We are continuously implementing new features to admation. The suggestions you have made have been noted and conveyed to the development team. Our product support team will be in contact with you with regards to turning off daily revision reports. Many Thanks, Admation Support Team

June 22, 2022

5.0

Pros

Admation is a user friendly, quick tool that enables us as a company to keep track of our approval process in a visually appealing and simple format, all in the same place!

Cons

Sometimes can take awhile when uploading a task

### "Good for audit trail, not so user friendly"

December 17, 2018

3.0

Could be improved if a submitter can select their preference for reviewers (to ensue all reviewers are managing this consistently by providing feedback through either attachments or into AdMation directly. Also, would like to be able to extract and save feedback that has been loaded to AdMation directly. Sometimes I need to retrieve content that has been reviewed previously and there is no option for key word search. This would be a great enhancement. Also, some pieces have questions rather than a straight accept / reject. It would be great if you could ask questions from the item that is being reviewed.

Pros

Great for audit trail to demonstrate compliance.

Cons

Not easy to navigate or to use features. Terrible search functionality, difficult to understand how to change uploads if a new version is released.

### "First experience with Admation"

June 16, 2022

4.0

Admation is a well thought out program and user friendly. What I would recommend - to make it more visually impacting out in the arena of management software products is to showcase a video or small training program on how to use it, what it can do/provide etc. I found it difficult to get any training online. All training was internal at my workplace. It would make it more effective for people to grapple and understand Admation more quickly if there was a training program available at the initial stage.

Pros

As a first time user it is a nicely set up program Visually pleasing and easy to navigate.

Cons

The only thing I would recommend is that a small, concise training video be linked to Admation to make it easier for first time users to view and get the basic understanding and navigation of the program.

### "Admation Review"

September 19, 2019

3.0

Pros

You can see the different revisions made

Cons

It's not intuitive / easy to use, unless it's explained to you. The search function for looking through projects could be better. You can't search by date for example.

I'll also make a note about discussing the additional search functionality request internally for you too! Happy Productivity, Samantha

### "Admation user review"

January 12, 2017

4.0

I use Admation every day. The developers took in our feedback as users very early on and this made a huge difference to how the system was evolved and to how we use it. It is really easy to use from our perspective as reviewers and approvers. I find the process of uploading new projects very user unfriendly, but like anything, it is a matter of getting used to the system, but this could be improved in my view as a user. We have had very few technical issues with Admation and if we have ever needed tech support, the team has been instantly responsive to solve the issue! Overall I am a big fan.

Pros

Ease of use.

Cons

Uploading new projects/files is unnecessarily complicated.

December 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

Does most of what we need it to do and the basis of the old PDF workflow is good with notifications in particular

Cons

CX is rubbish. Not intuitive at all. You have to be 'taught' how to use the software as there is no way you coiuld work it out for yourself.

### "AdMation Review "

September 10, 2019

4.0

Pros

Being able to mark up ads with exact changes, instead of having to phrase it very carefully in an email. Much more efficient!

Cons

You can't make any further changes once you've submitted a first round of changes. Also that you can't amend your changes once you've submitted - as things may change last minute.

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 17, 2019

Hi Stephanie, I'm glad that admation is making work much for efficient for you within your role! I completely understand that the final nature of Approving or Requesting Changes can be a blessing and a curse at times! We've had discussions around this internally, but we've decided to keep things as is to reduce the risk of human error that would otherwise result from having your designers review ever-changing comments within the system. Post-approval comments risk becoming too easy to miss or overlook, and we feel this would be an absolute nightmare to manage across your teams! Therefore, the best way to amend your comments post-approval/changes is to send through a message via the system requesting another revision. This way, your comments remain recorded in the system, and clear to the design team. Please don't hesitate to email support@admation.com for additional assistance wherever you need it! Best wishes, Samantha

### "Difficult you use. Not straight forward"

October 2, 2017

3.0

Pros

It has all the fields that are required. Once the form is completed the process work seems quite seamless. The approval process and change process is clear and straight forward.

Cons

It's not user friendly. It needs to flow better. The user seems to jumps from section to section . It needs to be clear you go from left to right on the tabs up the top. Not click on a tab here there and everywhere. There should be only tabs at that top of the page and you work your way through the form. Not tabs and links all over the page. Makes it confusing.

### "User un-friendly"

January 1, 2019

2.0

I would rather not use it. Unfortunately my place of work uses it as a job processing system. It's not a pleasant experience to use it.

Pros

There isn't much to like about Admation unfortunately. For a creative, it's not user friendly and very cumbersome with an unattractive and unwieldy interface.

Cons

All the actions, buttons and clicks you need to take to complete one process. It's too much!

### "Banking on help"

December 18, 2018

4.0

It's made compiling a brief to our design team much easier and this really helps in getting back designs that we would like to utilise.

Pros

It's improved the briefing process immensely. It also makes it easier to track my jobs and where I am at with work on the go.

Cons

When there are changes we often find out as we are using it rather than be give a heads-up or tips on how to get the best from it. Regular updates to ensure we get the best from Admation would help.

January 18, 2017

the recent upgrades to support larger screen size works well however i would love to see it applied to the projects view pages. and i do prefer the darker look of the UI than the lighter version.

5.0

We wanted a product produced and this was done. It was frustrating trying to find a way to export the final version and I wasn't 100% sure how to submit my comments - or if they'd been successfully submitted.

Pros

It provided a good way to track creative projects with other teams - particularly if you're not sure who to reach out to directly.

Cons

It's not very clear for a first time user how to navigate. Could be clearer with clearer step by step instructions/work flow.

### "Admation works well "

September 23, 2019

4.0

Overall, it has been a positive experience, it works well but has some issues that can be sorted to make it work better.

Pros

\- tagging people in the comments - selecting exactly what you require updated in the editing reviews - receiving an email when something happens on your projects - ease of communication

Cons

\- confusion between asset library and ad storage - only using on Google Chrome, does not work on Internet Explorer - would prefer a list of "my projects" rather than recent projects on the front page of the dashboard - some issues occur with uploads - not being able to reply to your sent email to continue along the same thread.

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

October 7, 2019

Hi Jessa, Thanks for taking the time to review admation! We're glad that you're enjoying communicating with your team using the platform. Ad Storage is related to final advertisements that have been reviewed, approved and finalised in the system. The asset library usually includes things like logos, imagery etc that might form part of a final ad. Recent projects refers to the last dozen or so items that you've clicked into on admation. Looking into your account, it looks like you have a permission level set to "View All Projects". In that case, it might help to use the filters under the In Progress list to search through your projects instead. I hope this helps to clear things up! We'll definitely take your request on 'My Projects' for managers into account too. Thanks for this suggestion we really appreciate you providing feedback on ways to make the system better for all users! Happy Productivity, The admation team.
