Document management easily with Collavate

Helps me and my team to collaborate on document and editing in the same time. Great experience so far.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Due to the ease with which documents may be produced, shared, modified, and submitted, interaction and resource planning are simplified when using Collavate. Because of this, productivity and coordination have improved, making it easier for people like myself to meet our deadlines. Additionally, the program may be easily connected with other Google apps such as Google Storage and Google Sheets, and it has a user-friendly interface.

Cons:

Even if the GUI translations may be customized (to Malay in my situation), it still displays alerts in the default language every now and then. This is a minor issue, but it prevents new workers from understanding the software as quickly as possible.

Simplying workflow management and remote working

Collavate has helped improve team collaboration on a client project which has earned us a very good feedback from the client. Experience with the app has been quite smooth so far so would recommend to others looking at Collavate.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

We use collaborate on a particular client engagement and the thing I love the most is the integration with gsuite. As the particular client tends to use google for most communication, being able to access the app directly from the gmail app/ google drive makes it really helpful. It has greatly helped improve productivity in the client account by automating our workflow. Work regularly requires reports and documents to be edited, reviewed, and approved by the IRC team before final publishing. Collavate has helped streamline this process from report production all the way till finalisation. You can add files such as data from google sheets directly through in the document editor which for me was a big plus. Document approvals by reviewers can be tracked which helps avoid any delay. Also, It is easy to create and add other team members using the collavate team version which greatly helps in collaborating on team projects.

Cons:

We've been using collavate for a little over a month and a half and are yet to come across any major issues as such apart from some lag while trying to attach files to documents in the editor functionality. We've otherwise had a relatively smooth experience so far.

Good for managing approval files and check doc and approval on gmail

used ms workflow. After migrating to Google Drive, I used several workflows. I'm using this because there are features that I ask for at a low price. After the workflow, automatic document centralization, approval line, and Google and organization chart are used conveniently.

Pros:

Collavate was very easy to implement, you can approve workflows via mail. The customization of the users required to alert for each step of the approval process is very easy.

Cons:

Although, you can customize even the interface translations (to spanish in my case use), it stills shows messages in the original language here and there, just a minor thing, but it keeps new users from learning fast.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your valuable feedback. We are currently updating with local languages and target the job completion within a month.

Very easy to share Google Drive documents, making file sharing much more manageable since most of our employees already use Google. I like how the site is organized to make it easy to see different document forms being processed, approved, or denied. Easily keeps track of all documents to refer back to when needed.
