### "Review of Admation for nib"

December 18, 2018

4.0

The platform is fulfilling the need in the business, but some small issues as outlined above are some cause for confusion. However, CSR is always happy to help and very thorough in providing the answers.

Pros

The dashboard is easy to use, displays are clear and the ability to send follow ups on reviews is great. CSR is always very helpful and responsive with any questions.

Cons

Things I would like improved: The ability to use Word docs in the platform - very clunky and hard to communicate to stakeholders. Ability to approve with marked up changes - this is something that would save time for the stakeholders and the job briefer - sometimes it's just a small word change and then fine to go. If you make changes and approve currently, it won't notify you of the changes requested.

Hi Jessica, Thanks so much for taking the time out to review the platform. We really appreciate your feedback. The easiest way to view documents in admation is via saving the files as PDFs. We've also recently introduced the functionality to allow you to mark up MS Word documents in the system directly! Hopefully this will improve your user experience considerably for you. There is an option to conditionally approve an item within admation. I'd love to have a chat to you and your team about your options before turning it on. Let us know how you'd like to proceed by emailing us at support@admation.com! Happy Productivity, Samantha

### "Making life easier for a busy marketer"

December 19, 2018

4.0

I was a doubter at first, but as I have become more comfortable with the software, it has made the production process much easier to manage.

Pros

It is easy to use, and provides a great way of storing material for future use. It makes the approval process much more streamlined, and the audit feature makes sure all the history around a particular job is available.

Cons

The help function is a little difficult to navigate if you don't use the correct terminology.

Hi Natalie, Glad to hear that we're making life easier for you! We really appreciate your feedback. Thanks for your suggestion!

We'd love to hear your feedback on it once it's been launched! Happy Productivity, Samantha

### "Admation Review"

September 18, 2019

2.0

Not great - needs a lot of improvement.

Pros

Not much, it's slow and lags all the time, changes that are saved disappear, it's very clunky to use and is not very easy to use.

Cons

Everything. Takes a long time to load, is not very efficient and could probably be quite good if some changes/improvements were made.

Hi Helena, So sorry to hear that you've been having these issues with admation. We'll continue to monitor these speed issues.

### "Great Software"

January 4, 2019

4.0

Pros

It opens a communication channel between internal stakeholders of our business and our external creative agency that would generally not connect and allows for greater context to be given in regard to creative feedback

Cons

The inability to lock users out from making markups or comments after a deadline has proved frustrating, and the software can sometimes operate slowly.

Review Source

Response from Simple Technology

September 24, 2019

Hi Toby, So glad to hear that you're enjoying the platform! I'll make a note of that feature request to lock users after a deadline elapses. Thanks for your suggestion! I'm sorry to hear that it's been causing some trouble on your end. In the meantime, there's an organisation-wide setting that can be turned on from our end which you can use to manually lock a level once a deadline elapses. I'd recommend speaking to our support team via support@admation.com about your options. In your email, please mention 'Automatic Level Lock/Unlock For Manual' as the setting you're wishing to look into. Let me know how you go! Best wishes, Samantha

### "Good for establishing an audit trail and collaboration -- functionality a bit clunky"

September 26, 2017

3.0

Pros

Being able to clearly see who has reviewed what and what stage a document is in in the approval process.

Cons

Difficult to leave comments and feedback. Confusion between 'approval', 'conditional approval', and 'changes'.

September 10, 2019

5.0

I use Admation to annotate our Catalogues. Great annotation features, easy to use, and user friendly!

Pros

I love how easy Admation is to navigate through! Soo easy to use! Love that you can leave comments on an annotation and talk directly to the designer, regarding a specific change you want to make.

Cons

Nothing so far! But will provide feedback if.when necessary

Hi Simone, Thanks for taking the time to review Admation! We love that you're enjoying using the system to collaborate with your design team. You might also benefit from using our @tagging feature to tag designers or other users in your comments! Try it by popping an @ before a user's name whilst annotating work. Let us know how that works for you! We're always updating our product, and customer feedback is a HUGE part of that process! So if anything pops up, please feel free to let us know via support@admation.com. Thanks again! Best wishes, Samantha

September 26, 2017

3.0

Pros

Audit trail is a great feature and assists in accountability and responsibility. Customer support is fantastic!!

Cons

Really clunky and too may clicks to get to the sections I need. Also would be good to have an 'are you sur' window to avoid mistaken uploads.

4.0

Pros

I like that I can provide feedback to selected people, or to all. Clean and simple interface.

Cons

Zoom in and zoom out function could be an it better, instead of clicking the zoom butter, it would be good to have mouse zoom in and out

### "Admation for Proofing"

June 22, 2022

3.0

Overall it is pretty good.

Pros

That you can click the tick box to hide the items you've actioned

Cons

The mark-up tools that cover the whole page means it is not as easy to get access to the ones under it. The fact that the actions are not in order of the items on the page.

### "Functional but unintuitive"

September 10, 2019

3.0

Pros

It's a solid piece of software that I can trust to track requests and approvals.

Cons

It's really unintuitive to use, and I'm frequently searching around for the information/button that I need. Our compliance team spends more time than they should troubleshooting users' questions.

### "Confusing"

September 10, 2019

4.0

I think it could be really great but as a user that is not dealing with it daily or weekly, I do find it difficult to know where to go for what

Pros

I like that it can hold the Creative team accountable for the work we request

Cons

I find it quite hard to navigate, usually getting instructions from the Creative team & also with mark ups, I generally just print the document off then scribble on it, scan it in & send to them as mark ups are too difficult to make on the software

### "Honest review"

September 19, 2019

1.0

Pros

I'm sorry to say I don't have any positives to add.

Cons

I find it really hard to navigate and simple things like creating a job are way too hard. Then accessing documents to download and review are maddening. Assigning people so they can view my job is impossible to do. I have wasted a lot of time trying to work it out. In summary, it's not intuitive at all.

Pros

It's an amazing software in order to optimize regulatory & legal validation. It's a good way to create a librairy of what is legally good or not !

Cons

It's not easy to use it. It's not user friendly. You need to create a folder and after a file and after ask for a review. It's too long and too complicated !

September 27, 2017

4.0

Pros

The ability for multiple designers, marketers and managers to direct workflow, provide feeback, access a media library and work as a team - even when working remotely. Its a great system and it has heaps of great features.

Cons

I do find the new mutliple 'Batch review' a little confusing. Sometime the markup section is also confusing - as these edits are very small in the preview window and can be missed, especially when it is a simple copy edit.
