Forget the PDF comments - get ReviewStudio!

ReviewStudio is my go-to for getting our internal clients to review documents, flyers, brochures, video, etc. It is great!

PROS

It is easy and quick to upload a file and get a link for reviewing. All of the client’s comments are in one place, no matter how many people review the file. That means just ONE VERSION of a file with all the comments in one place. No more reconciling comments from different sources!

CONS

It can take a little time for new users to understand how to leave comments. We now send them instructions. It would be nice if there was a little tutorial at the beginning.

Vendor Response

Hi Chris - Thanks for your positive review. Regarding your request - just wanted to let you know that there is an article and video tutorial available in our knowledge base that is specifically designed to onboard new reviewers. You can share the link to this article with your clients but we will also take steps to make this information more obvious when a new user first accesses the application.

Simple, Easy to Use, Gets the Job Done

PROS

Very simple and easy to use. Clients can set up guest accounts with just their name and email address which was imperative for us.

CONS

Exporting feedback is not great - it's a difficult to use Excel spreadsheet. Other platforms provide the marked up image with all of the comments in a PDF format. Moving files around in a review is clunky.

ReviewStudio Review

It's been very helpful for me and keeps my presentations organized and on the web. The only hassle is the item I described in the "cons section of this review.

PROS

I like that anyone can comment and review that it's updated in real time on the web for everyone else to see. I like that it's visual and easy to use.

CONS

I think the worst part is that my clients don't know anything about this software so they are hesitant to use it to leave reviews. They are not used to it so they use a different method that they are used to. If there were better explanations on how to use it like videos like on freshbooks software it would help people get started leaving a review of my work.

Vendor Response

Hi Josh, Good to have you on board. I should mention we launched an onboarding tour a while back to highlight key features. This should bring your clients up to speed faster. I should also mention we've done a redesign of the canvas a few months back, further aimed at making the client experience more intuitive.

Absolutely the best review and remote collaboration tool around.

This tool is absolutely indispensable for my work as a freelance 3D designer. They continue to innovate and improve the platform and it gets better every year.

PROS

Easy to use and share with new clients to get rapid, asynchronous feedback on my work.

CONS

There's a tiny learning curve for users that haven't used a tool like this before, and it'd be nice to have a feature to automatically notify logged in clients when I complete tasks or upload revisions.

Reason for choosing ReviewStudio

The critical features I wanted were missing from the other platforms, and the price for ReviewStudio is very reasonable.

Lots of features at a great value - saves us from endless email chains

Overall it has been beneficial to our rganization

PROS

Consolidation of reviews instead of email chains that can become lost or splintered, and can bloat your account with attachments. Plus getting an official signoff and proof of review input.

CONS

The fact that it lacks a way to get feedback on a live website is the biggest dislike for us. Uploading HTML code is not a viable option as we develop on WordPress most of the time. We have had to pick up a Userback account to fill that gap.
