### "Impressed daily with Admation"

June 22, 2022

5.0

Pros

I enjoy how easy it is to assign documents to other users for approval to have a clear trail of approvals.

Cons

I do not like how it is not intuitive who you assigned something to review, I often accidentally send items multiple times for review.

capturing all work

Pros

Ease of use, and the scroll through function is so much better

Cons

The project team is still not taken from the brief form and added to the project as project members. Submitter is not added to the deliverables either :(

June 22, 2022

4.0

Admation proofing is quite straight forward & easy to use.

Pros

My favourite feature is being able to attach images to my comments

Cons

Searching for my previous catalogue proofs is difficult & I can't seem to add the same annotation to multiple offers on 1 page (1 annotation connected to multiple items/offers), I have to re-write it for each offer.

### "Honest Review"

December 18, 2018

4.0

We are using admation to review concept graphics. it is giving us the opportunity to review the concept package design beforehand. You are also able to see the feedback from cross-functional departments.

Pros

I like the functionality of this software. Easy to navigate.

Cons

Movement of pan which sometime seems hard.

Hi there, Thanks so much for taking the time to review admation. We're glad that you're enjoying using the software for your package design teams across multiple departments. If you are able to provide screenshots of the panning issue you're describing, we'd love to see if we can get that fixed up for you. Please do not hesitate to email support@admation.com for more information! Best wishes, Samantha

### "Review"

September 10, 2019

3.0

Overall positive, the only thing is when there is something wrong/that I don't like (see above) it is very wrong and frustrating

Pros

I like the fact that all jobs are saved and you can see all history to each, there is a lot of transparency and everything is saved in the one spot

Cons

Annotating digital artwork is awful when there is animation involved. If I take a snapshot to annotate it then freezes the whole page. I have to shut down Admation and go back into it from the beginning to then annotate the snapshot.

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 17, 2019

Hi Kelly, We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the increased transparency across your marketing teams. It sounds like a really frustrating issue you're experiencing with the snapshot feature! I haven't heard this issue reported across other clients using animated GIFs, websites or videos, so it's very possible that your issue is isolated to your computer. Sometimes the fix can be as simple as swapping browsers. Nonetheless, I'd love to get someone to contact you to help troubleshoot. Do you mind if I pass your details onto the support team to get in touch? Best wishes, Samantha at Admation.

### "Some starting hurdles but overall helps make review process better"

January 8, 2017

4.0

It can seem a bit overwhelming and clunky to use at a start, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes an intrinsic part of making sure all stakeholders get a say, content is reviewed and approved according to process, and there's a clear audit trail.

Pros

Visibility of content review process for audit and governance.

Cons

It's not the smoothest UX - could be more intuitive and friendly so easier to pick up.

### "CSH ADMATION REVIEW"

January 5, 2017

4.0

Use Admation as a project management tool for our marketing team. It is fairly easy to use and submit projects. There are some repetitive buttons within the system. I often have notifications in my message center for things to approve yet when I click it there is nothing to approve.

Pros

Central location for projects

Cons

Not as up to date and in sync with our other systems as I would like

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 24, 2019

Hi Caitlin, Thanks for taking the time to review admation! We really appreciate your feedback. We're currently looking at standardising a few of the buttons/icons in admation to reduce repetition and extra clicks across your workflows. We're hoping we can get a few of these issues ironed out for you soon! If you had any specific suggestions for improvement, we'd love to hear from you at support@admation.com where we'll get those comments documented and passed onto the UX team for you. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything we can do to assist. Best wishes, Samantha

### "Good Features, Not Quite There Yet"

January 16, 2019

3.0

Pros

I like that you are able to use this tool for reviewing creative assets. I like that there can be different approval levels and your home screen has everything you need at a glance.

Cons

The features people need are there with Admation, however it is not very user friendly. Its very clunky and doesn't have the best work flows.

December 17, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like that there is an easy way of putting in all work and being able to see versions that have been submitted and the changes that have been made along the way.

Cons

I don't like if you have accidentally submitted a piece to everyone in a group, that you have to resubmit the whole piece, rather than being able to edit it in the project. This adds time to the overall approval process.

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 24, 2019

Hi Emily, Thanks so much for taking the time to review admation! We really appreciate your feedback and are glad that you're enjoying the version control option available via the system. It's definitely much easier than sifting through your emails for hours on end to track changes! There is an option to edit approvers after you've sent something out for review, but I'll pass on your suggestions to see if there's anything we can improve on here. If you require any assistance, please don't hesitate to email support@admation.com for extra help! Best wishes, Samantha

### "Successful"

October 2, 2017

4.0

The creative team has a more manageable work flow system to audit and keep track of their tasks. The account managers also benefit from the automated work flow system in keeping track of their projects.

Pros

The system is relatively easy to use and once you use it a few times it becomes very familiar and everyone's confidence in using the system increases.

Cons

The constant sprint updates that sometimes don't feel like they are an improvement. Some definitely are but others don't suit my needs.

September 10, 2019

3.0

Pros

Comparison tool is the most useful in most cases.

Cons

Deadline. Would be good if we can have a deadline time countdown. Also for the markups, would be better if we can have the text formatting options like making things bold etc

### "A great program for our business"

December 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

Integrates well with our marketing flow, and allows us to mark up and review pages quickly and easily. The group edit features, and ability to share with stakeholders for feedback is invaluable. The ability to set deadlines, reminder, and mask/hide areas allows us to efficiently work through our projects.

Cons

The server can be a bit temperamental, sometimes resulting in error pages, which can lead to some work being lost. There is not an easy way to clean out items that were incorrectly sent to you for approval without choosing an option which may accidentally create more work.

Response from Simple Technology

September 24, 2019

Hi Will, So glad to hear that you're enjoying using the system for markups and reviewing artwork in your business. It sounds like you're really utilising all of the features widely within your workflow, which is great! I'd be interested to hear under what circumstances you're receiving these error messages. Next time one of those errors take place, it would be great if you could follow up with an email to support@admation.com whenever these issues take place so that we can troubleshoot them for you! I've taken note of your accidental submission issues and have added a task to our backlog so that our developers can start to consider options for this. Thanks again, your feedback has been really useful! Best wishes, Samantha

### "Efficient way to work with agencies and mark up files."

October 6, 2017

3.0

Pros

I receiving the notifications! Because usually you're awaiting on a job so it's great to be notified when it's ready for review in the system.

Cons

Sometimes once I've approved something and I'm searching for it after a period of time I have issues finding it. And also the mark up tool. I never use it. I always download, PDF comment and re upload.

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 24, 2019

Hi Rosie, Thanks so much for taking the time to review admation! It's great that you're finding value from our email notifications. It sounds like you might benefit from using our filter function to search for items. If they are past projects, it's possible that they may have been moved to your Ad Storage. You can also use filters under that screen to locate older files! We're sorry to hear that you're not using the mark up tools. Is there anything you feel that we can improve on here? We look forward to hearing back from you with your suggestions. Best wishes, Samantha

October 3, 2017

3.0

Pros

Comparing two versions of mark ups Forwarding for approval/feedback Asset library for stock images

Cons

Having to go through multiple folders to get a file once downloaded Having to individually select deliverable type for multiple deliverables of the same type

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 16, 2019

Hi Madeleine, I'm glad that you're enjoying your use of the admation platform! The compare function really is a great tool, isn't it! I definitely get that it can be quite time-consuming to allocate those deliverable types one by one. I can see that your review date was quite some time ago, but there is an option in the system to Batch Edit the deliverable type when you're uploading multiple files. I'd recommend getting in touch with our support team via support@admation.com to learn more about the batch editing. I really hope this helps to save you some time when uploading files!

### "A winning review"

January 10, 2017

4.0

Overall I enjoy using admation, it is an easy and effective way to manage creative feedback and approvals. My only complaint really would be that it doesn't keep you logged in so multiple times I have opened up creative to review, come back to it after a meeting or approval meeting and typed up feedback only to hit submit and lose the feedback I've typed up because I have been logged out.

Pros

The ability to store the whole creative journey & feedback in one place.

Cons

It doesn't remember you or keep you logged in. It isn't as though this is online banking - I think the security could be relaxed.

Hi Jarrah, Thanks so much for reviewing admation! We're glad that you're enjoying the ability to house creative work and feedback in the system! I am aware of options to remember passwords in Chrome. However, for instances where you will be away from your computer for an extended period of time, I would recommend saving your comments before leaving your desk to avoid data loss! If you have any further issues, please don't hesitate to email our support team for further assistance. Thanks so much! Samantha

### "Room for improvement"

January 5, 2017

3.0

The functionality of the software works well and does well to make an important process very clear to stakeholders. We do however experience many crashes and errors. This can be particularly frustrating when projects are time critical. There is also plenty of room for improvement regarding ease of use.

Pros

\- Makes a complicated process clear to different stakeholders - Notifications and reminders work well

Cons

\- The amount of crashes and errors you experience - Ease of use could be simplified and become more intuitive

### "Nice idea, but too many bugs"

December 17, 2018

3.0

Better than marking up on paper for record keeping and the environment, but it's slower and more complicated. The archive search function is not efficient enough to use this as one's main catalogue.

Pros

ability to forward to groups and have multiple feedback comments visible log in through google PDFs with markups good for records

Cons

Ease of use - slow, clunky, buggy unwanted jobs cluttering approvals folder, and cannot delete them Text is an image only and selection tools are not the correct shape for line-line highlighting, so not good for copy editing

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 24, 2019

Hi Sarah, Thanks for taking the time to review admation! We're glad that you're enjoying the forwarding and markup functionality within the system. We're sorry to hear about your cluttered approvals screen though! There is a fix to the approvals screen that's coming out in this release, but sometimes a cluttered approvals screen is the result of failing to approve or request changes on an item. IF you're still experiencing issues with this, please don't hesitate to email support@admation.com for assistance. We'll keep an eye on those speed issues you mentioned and I'll definitely pass that feedback to the team around the enhancements to the markup tools. Thanks again for stopping by! Samantha

Pros

hmmm.. setting up a project, although even this could be streamlined and made easier for users

Cons

3.0

Is too early to decide whether is making a difference compared to previous software (Simple)

Pros

Dashboard where I get a visual of the status of my jobs I can email external team members (emails) on jobs currently on Admation

Cons

In some instances, when I perform an action, like providing feedback or commenting on a job, I then have to send an email advising t check Admation for comments/feedback... doubling up tasks

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 19, 2019

Hi Dulce, Thanks so much for taking the time to review admation! We're glad that you're enjoying the Dashboard feature in the system. It sounds like you could really benefit from a few functions within the system to help keep that feedback loop in check. If people are sending work to you to review, there's a @tagging feature which allows you to mention users in your annotations/comments. This sends them an extra email to let them know that there are comments directed at them to view. Select @ then type in the user's name to tag them in a comment. Then Save! If you're sending work to users, you can send automatic reminders as the deadline approaches if they haven't already responded. You can also bulk 'Remind All' users to respond to pending feedback requests too. I'd recommend messaging our support team via support@admation.com for more information on these steps. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for help wherever you need it! Happy Productivity, Samantha

### "Admation review"

January 3, 2019

3.0

Overall we experience a lot of issues with Admation for timeframes... the process can simply take too long with the multiple levels not being able to review simultaneously etc.

Pros

It ensures peer review of work and keeps a valued audit trail.

Cons

Clunky, the levels can make turn around times take too long. would be good if reviewers could leave feedback on the same document, like a google doc feature.

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 24, 2019

Hi Ella, Sorry to hear about your experience! It sounds like your team could really benefit from using Continuous approvals. This sends documents through to the second level even when the document is rejected at Level 1. That way, there's no real delay around seeing items even when there are changes requested on earlier versions, and essentially people end up viewing items almost simultaneously. To turn on continuous approvals, ensure the continuous box(es) are ticked when submitting an item for approval! Let us know how you go with this! Please don't hesitate to email support@admation.com for additional assistance wherever you need it! Happy Productivity, Samantha

4.0

Pros

The software is really intuitive and easy to use. Every steps in the approval process are straightforward and you don't really need to go back to any tutorials as features are self explanatory.

Cons

It would be good to be able to remove message notifications as you can receive many in a short amount of time. It would also be good to be able to add someone in the middle of the process once some artwork has been declined for example and select which creatives you want them to see.
