We have been able to make our productivity and workflow very effective.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: Full control over the proofing process, and the abbility to integrate into our InDesign and FileMaker workflow.

Pros:

It is quick and easy to upload proofs from InDesign. We have full control and documentation over the proofing process. It's abbility to integrate with our production workflow is also important. The new iOS app is also appreciated.

Cons:

The user interface is maybe a little bit old-fashion. The installation process for the InDesign plugin can be painfull sometimes. I am missing the abbility to install the plugin manually, like in "old days".

Thanks Jan for the review! Your feedback are highly appreciated. I'm happy to announce you'll see a fresh modern UI gradually roll out during 2018 :-) We miss as well the good-old times where you could just drag'n' drop a plugin ZXP file, but I'm afraid this is in the hands of Adobe that changed the way they handle plugins with the launch of CC in 2013. We still have tricks to come around this, so please reach out to [email protected] and we'll guide you. Today Adobe actually rolls out a new plugin marketplace, so let's cross our fingers this will ease the plugin management in the future. We're happy to have you onboard and we'd love to receive your ideas for future improvements on [email protected].

Long term relationship with great benefits! Thank you :-)

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Webproof makes it possible for our marketing bureau to work with clients all over the world. All our clients have unique logins to make sure, that the dialog is clear and without any misunderstandings. I can't imagine how we should work with our clients in a better way.

Pros:

With Webproof we are online 24/7 and have the most flexible and secure proofing tool to offer our clients. Great tool. We have been using this tool with our clients for more than 10 years now... Thank you CSR. I has always been a pleasure to working with you.

Cons:

Sometimes the software is a bit slow in the upload phase. But not really a problem.

A great collaboration and work process optimisation tool

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Aller Media Denmark have used Webproof including Webflow for many years in our editorial Production Environment for checking pages before sending to Print. In addition all Adverts received is checked by Webproof and if any errors or non matching booking information, sender will be push for re-upload of corrected material. A great 24/7/365 service for Aller Media's advertisers/customers.

Pros:

Easy to use. Great live production overview. No need for a lot of training just jump into production right away! By introducing Webflow into your daily workflow, you will add more power and process optimisation possibilities into play.

Cons:

GUI could be updated to a more 2018/2019 look and feel.

Excellent system to use when doing artwork changes

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: I am really happy with WebProof. It is perfect for a smaller organisation that does not have the possibility or need to develop their own system. It is effecient and makes sure we have speed in the artwork process as well as great documentation for latest versions etc. Works really well and has made our lives easier when it comes to the artwork process.

Pros:

It is really user friendly so it is easy to onboard new people in the workflow. The process of getting an artwork through the approval process is really smooth and with the different functions in the organization not in the same location it speeds up the process enourmously.

Cons:

That I cannot download a pdf with comments to deliver to people outside the system. Would be a good help with artworks that is done by third party for example in private label matters where it is not our design agency that is doing the job. Requires a bit of double work without this feature.

User-friendly, time-saving and with great support when needed

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Basically, Webproof enables us to service our customers in the best possible way. The system is flexible and user-friendly and provides an unrivaled overview when there are many players involved. There are cases that we have only been able to solve optimally through Webproof, since overview and management are essential in certain types of cases. We have many customers from the pharmaceutical industry where safety and efficiency are incredibly important. And here, Webproof is an indispensable collaborator.

Pros:

Webproof makes it much easier to manage and maintain an overview of the project - both for us and for our customers. All communication is gathered in the same place, which minimizes the risk of errors and makes the process much, much easier for all.

Cons:

Frankly, we are very satisfied users. If you encounter a function that you might think could be optimized, Webproof's team is always very responsive and ready with a helping hand.

Saving money and time

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: We had huge traffic in our design studio, many projects (about 200 monthly) and what is connected with this also many emails. We needed to communicate fluently with the client (few departments at the same time). Webproof gives us the possibility to improve the process of communication, to avoid mistakes and misunderstanding, to be 30 % more efficient.

Pros:

I like the ease of use of this software. I am able to implement it to every client without a complications.

Cons:

The design for web browsers might a bit more modern. I wish we could use it on Android system.

Thanks Alex, your feedback is appreciated. Agreed, the advanced automated hotfolder workflow can be overwhelming, if you don't work with it now and then. This is a Platinum feature though, intended for larger productions - but we're always standby for any help needed and our professional team can always assist setting up new workflows for additional workflow savings. We look forward serving you for many years ahead :-)
