I like the easy workflow of approvals.

The price was better and it better matched our requirements.

We were looking to upgrade from our old software
It has been great.. I love that they walked us through everything for set up. Approval Studio is always right there to answer all of our questions..
PROSHow easy it is to put jobs into the software. 1 quick step and your job is in the Que. I do love that the support is always right there to answer any questions.
CONSWe are limited to the types of files you can upload.
Reasons for switching to Approval Studio
Because they only allowed you to upload 1 file for proofing.. It was very inconvenient for me and my customers. They also had quite a few glitches where it would not work properly. Also entering jobs was a chore.
Vendor Response
We are so happy to hear that Approval Studio has been an excellent match for your team. We've currently expanded the number of file types that can be uploaded to 24 (hopefully, this covers your asset file formats). If you wish to add something more, we are always there to listen and implement your suggestions. Have a nice one!

Vital for projects with lots of deliverables
Approval Studio was a great solution to the we-got-lots-of-stuff-to-review problem!
PROSThis tool was absolutely crucial to organizing and tracking QA and approvals for a recent dynamic banner campaign. We had over 250 pieces of creative requiring internal and client approval and I can't imagine what the team would have done without it.
CONSHonestly I struggle to find any negatives. Nitpicking, but the interface could use a bit of a refresh to give things a bit more breathing room.
Vendor Response
We are glad you enjoyed our tool. In fact, we are currently working on a review tool redesign so that the interface appearance will be updated. Hopefully, you'll like it!

Must have for Graphic, Web, and Print Designers
Support has been outstanding. Setting up isn't the easiest because it's new. Like every other software out there, there's a learning curve, but when you have an online chat support available it makes everything easy to learn. Customer Support A+
PROSBranding. Being able to brand the application keeps us in front of our clients.
CONSI haven't found anything yet that I don't like. Of course everything can use improvement but no dislikes.

A very good tool for proofing creative.
It does everything you need a proofing tool to do and, probably most importantly, the learning curve for clients is minimum. I tested this on some of my most computer illiterate clients and none of them really struggled to use it.
PROSApproval Studio has some well thought out tools for any studio workflow involving multiple stakeholders. You can use it for print and digital artwork alike and the before/after overlay features are a great tool to quickly check visually if amends have been correctly actioned.
CONSI found the zoom in/out speed to be a bit keen and you could quickly go from close up to birds-eye-view until you got used to it - I understand the team are making this a little less 'sensitive'.
