No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to use, friendly app/software where we can review and check our projects within the team and our clients.. and to spend less time! #### Cons I have no cons, it's what we needed and we will going to use it in every project. --- ### Filestage has become our one-stop solution for managing the workflow of all our artwork-designs - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Willy C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Wholesale - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered we are currently uploading all our artwork first drats to filestage and have them reviewed there by internal personnel, like the product manager and engineer and also by our clients, for whom we sometimes make OEM artwork. I love how you can centralize reviews, versions and approvals all in one app even communicate with reviewers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - i like how you can easily set up a project and assign reviewers either internal or external and have everyone process their review-tasks in one app. - the superb and fast product support!!! #### Cons the project-limit sucks a bit, and the fact that you cannot get links to sections within projects #### Reasons for choosing Filestage Don't know, wasn't involved #### Vendor response Hello Willy, thank you for your kind review! I am especially happy to read you are excited about our support! I'll pass this feedback on to your dedicated Customer Success Manager! Also, I have passed your request to have a link per section to our productteam. As soon as we have an update on this we'll let you know. Kind regards Jenny Teamlead Customer Success & Support Replied July 2022 --- ### It's... mediocre at best. - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: William L. - Industry: Motion Pictures and Film - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros On the bright side, it does do what it claims to do. Most of the time. When there aren't bugs. And they are constantly improving the app, so there's that. #### Cons But... it's buggy. Often we receive complaints from clients about a video not loading, or not playing back, or not being able to scrub through the video. Or even being redirected to the Filestage homepage without any errors. There are better alternatives, but you have to pay more for them. --- ### Filestage review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Charlotte S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. overall positive experience, almost all of our clients like it as well #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros That everyone can see everyone's comments, avoiding contradictory ones. Easy, collaborative, organized. #### Cons New dashboard looks a bit messy, but maybe it is just a getting-used-to-thing Moving reviewers in-between stages (not inviting everyone again) Images are not shown in full crop when opening them, you always need to zoom out Possibility to "archive" images in a specific stage, let's say we send out multiple angles to a client, and they chose 3 out of 6 - to clean up that stage (but not delete the previous images if we would need them later) so it would only contain the images that we will continue working with? #### Reasons for choosing Filestage user friendly and pricing #### Vendor response Hi Charlotte, thanks for your great feedback! We really appreciate you've taken the time to leave this review. We've shared your feedback with our team, who are looking into it, so you should look out for some exciting news about it very soon! Thanks again, Fotini Athineli, Social Media Manager Replied September 2022 --- ### Review management: simple, fast and effective - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Shipbuilding - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We use Filestage for all review processes of images, layouts, films etc. both internally within our team and with clients. The software is easy to use and self-explanatory to a large extent. Even clients who only need to approve images from time to time can use Filestage quickly and intuitively. The handling of our approval processes as well as transparency has improved significantly and Filestage contributes significantly to our quality assurance. #### Cons Nothing really. There are certainly one or two functions that would make the software even better, but new functions are being implemented little by little and the needs of the users are being intensively addressed. #### Vendor response Hallo Michael, thank you for your kind feedback and the open words. We really appreciate you've taken the time to leave this review. We're so happy to hear you love the platform, and we're looking forward to collaborating further with you.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I use the software with students and colleagues. It is very easy to use, works like a swiss clock and allows me to give feedback much faster. My favourite feature: Annotate videos. Far better than writing emails or tickets. #### Cons Unfortunately, the project templates are only available in the Pro and Enterprise Version. Would love to use several templates for different projects with my students and colleagues. --- ### Decreased Review Time for Videos & Websites - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kason B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have a website and video production company. The review process is now a snap. I simply send the filestage link - instruct the client to leave all the feedback on there, then we will execute all their reviews for a flat "revision" cost - since endless revisions are the least profitable part of the job. #### Cons I had a bit of trouble with the annotation feature early on. It turns out the google adblock plugin breaks some of the code so I just disabled it on filestage.io --- ### Simple yet very effective platform! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: June 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Quite impressive so far as it makes the coordination across team easier and hasslefree, especially at this time of pandemic - where "work from home" is the only option for our teams #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Version control helps in checking all updates happened over time Export and share feedback with clients & teams Annotation tool helps in understanding the suggested changes or modifications Can define roles, tasks visibility and permission levels The option of adding attachments is an add-on #### Cons An option to switch between different tabs/assets without going back on the main homepage multiple times --- ### Wonderful tool for the review process! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Fast and easy reviewing process #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros + Easy to set up + Intuititve + Clear and quick user interface + Secure, even useable for content that requires NDAs + You can easily see that this tool is made by people who exactly know what the problem is to which their product provides the solution #### Cons - Not very cheap considering freelancers - Limited API at the moment (but I was told that there is more to come) --- Showing 1 - 10 of 102 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/filestage-profile/reviews/) ## Filestage Popular Comparisons [Asana vs Filestage](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/asana-profile/vs/filestage/)[Ziflow vs Filestage](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/filestage-profile/vs/ziflow/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/filestage-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Collaboration Software [Smartsheet](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/smartsheet-profile/) **4.5** (3548) Recently recommended **59** times [Wrike](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/wrike-profile/) **4.4** (3039) Recently recommended **63** times [Quickbase](https://www.softwareadvice.com/crm/quick-base-profile/) **4.4** (333) Recently recommended **13** times [Autodesk Forma](https://www.softwareadvice.com/construction/autodesk-construction-cloud-profile/) **4.3** (2212) Recently recommended **10** times Stuck Between Options?
