Slope Software

Mostly happy! Very easy-useful to share my layouts and get feedbacks.
It is easy to track projects and manage the projects efficiently way.

Pros

Designer friendly layout frames.
Easy to upload or change layout /versions.
you can well organized your files-folders and design layouts.
Easy to share your clients or directors.
No need to worry about uploading sizes

Cons

Sometimes slow to upload files.
I would not prefer to see all notifications when I am 'unassign'.
I prefer to see only the notifications when I am assigned a project.

Pros

How straight forward it is and the functionality. You can see how far everyone is on projects, download all content, and see previous versions.

Cons

Slope does a great job of showing you how to use it, sometimes you just have to remember the little sneaky things

Saves me and my team so much time. We're able to create higher-quality designs because we can move faster and therefore have time for more iterations. It also helps to eliminate miscommunications with our designers because the feedback is clearly marked instead of manually having to explain which area of the asset we're referring to.

Pros

Slope makes it so easy to collaborate on creative work. Leaving feedback on designed assets is no longer a tedious task. The ability to leave annotated comments on all kinds of different files has been a godsend. It saves me hours of work on every project. The tool is very intuitive, easy and fun to use. I'm able to finish projects faster, which results in higher quality work because we actually have the time to make all of the changes we want before the deliverable is due.

Cons

I really can't think of anything I would change about Slope. They continuously roll out new features and improve the product.

Pros

Visually its a clean looking program. As a designer, I'm using it to upload and edit my projects. If it could be simplified it would be so much nicer to use. As it is, it takes too much of my time navigating the program.

Cons

I cant stand all the emails. I get about 3-4 notices per individual commenter. If multiple people comment i will get the same number from EACH person... I could get 10 email for ONE round of edits. Its also not easy to find where your way around the program. It needs to be simplified.
ex: why do i have to use the "@name" when i reply to comments? etc...

Pros

What I like most about slope is the ease of access to old creative. Whenever I need to reference something it is easy to find because of how organized the system is.

Cons

My least favorite part of the software is that it does not have an app. I also dislike that comments on creative do not show up in chronological order sometimes.

Pros

In real-time, multiple colleagues from across departments can request edits and updates to content from our creative services team. This streamlined process is simple and intuitive, saving hours of valuable time.

Cons

Looking forward to a more robust request service that outside departments can use to request content. The value in this product, especially for the price point, is already abundant.

Pros

I like the notification of each projects. I can assign each designer. I can see what is going on from start to finish.

Cons

The online version on the mobile is not user friendly. It will be great if we have the app for iPhone.

easy to work and communicate with co workers

Pros

how its easy to get feedback from co workers, easy to find your assigment of the day without being confused

Cons

sometime the files take a while to upload, i also have to reduce the size of some files before upload cause they wont fit

Not having to rely on Outlook, cause Outlook is the WORST.

Pros

It keeps things very organized for us, especially cause we need a lot of feedback from a lot of different people.

Cons

It's notification system could be better. Too many emails and the notifications could also be color coordinated or something to make them more clear.

Completely comprises my team's entire workflow and post production process.

Pros

The ease of getting and giving feedback and passing videos along a distribution pipeline without cluttering up email chains or slack channels.

Cons

Since it's a new product, there are tiny little details here and there that could be improved. Such as the lack of ability to sort tasks alphabetically, by assignee, or by order of importance.

I loved having the ability to quickly send and receive feedback on videos that needed to be turned around quickly.

Pros

The ability to quickly share the video and receive feedback while having it marked on the exact moment of the video is a great feature.

Cons

The fact that you can't have older versions unlocked if you choose to do so. I understand it keeps the client from downloading the wrong one and from commenting on an irrelevant video but in certain circumstances it would be nice to have the ability to have the older versions unlocked.

Communication from our client is vital to our success

Pros

Mouse over numbered notes on the video are very helpful. The feedback from customer support seems to be speedy and very helpful

Cons

No thumbnail options, the client wants to see this before it goes live so why don't you have this implimented

More visibility and transparency with the review and editing process. Helps a lot with collaboration between multiple users.

Pros

Sharing work and feedback is quick, easy and intuitive. Slope helps us communicate easily and effectively while cutting down on unnecessary email conversations.

Cons

Functionality keeps improving as new features are added. Notifications can be a bit overwhelming when receiving multiple alerts in a short period of time, but the updates are helpful for staying informed on how a project is progressing.

Pros

I can request reviews of different edits and then ask for final reviews once the edit is at completion

Cons

I would like the emails to be more specific when asking for approvals or finals approval from my team leader

Pros

Simple layout. Easy to navigate. Pretty self-explanatory process. Decent customization and organization.

Cons

Would like to see a dedicated mobile app with push notifications. More plug-ins with CRMs, email software, and team communication software.

Pros

Able to comment at specific times and follow up. The team works together will with the software and things have been productive.

Pros

Ease of consolidating feedback on projects (especially video), even while contributors are traveling or working remotely. Slope's customer support is incredible. They are available for hands-on training and are open to feedback and suggestions for software improvement.

Cons

File archives can get a bit messy if naming conventions are not properly upheld by all users. Users must be fully trained on the platform and conscious about maintaining details such as adding feedback deadlines and marking items complete for the platform to be effective.

Pros

personalized support, flexible plans, good team calendar feature, dev team is receptive to feedback and friendly to work with, Sales is supportive and works with you, new features coming out all the time

Cons

our team is in desperate need of a detailed creative brief. our creative team deals with developing landing pages for clients, among other things. we are looking for a replacement for our old creative ticket, which was very detailed -- rep is working with us on it!

Organization, Good Deadline visibility, consolidating commenting/feedback.

Pros

Love the intuitiveness of Slope. Enjoy the visual features. Great customer service. Like that there are always new developments in the works and feedback is taken in and listened to.

Cons

I wish i could drag and drop files to upload. I don't like that hitting the back button takes me totally back outside of the project. I would love notification options (I wish to consolidate points I receive emails to review... getting too many notifications currently.)

Easy access to feedback from peers. Ability to look back on feedback from previous versions and projects. Project management and time management. Organization of projects based on campaigns (or however you would like to organize).

Pros

The option to continuously receive feedback during each iteration is wonderful. I also get to look back at comments whenever I have projects in a similar campaign to review old feedback from peers.

Cons

Still fairly new to the software. The only complaint I had was that I couldn't upload multiple versions at once. As of today that issue has totally been resolved and you can now upload multiple versions.
