"Workflow made easier in all stages"

5/5

What do you like best about Creative Force?

How Creative Force integrates with photoshop to make the retoucher's life easier, workflow faster, helping avoid human error when it comes to file naming, sets of images are automatically uploaded so you can never miss one, and how intuitive the interface is becoming. How it saves me time everyday, automating what used to take me double the amount of time, like delegating, QCing and uploading images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Force?

There are still small tweeks to be made, which the Creative Force team is aware and working on all the time. We had changes done that were not for the best but after a feedback they listened and reverted in 24 hours which surprised me! They actually listen! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creative Force:

Can't stress enough how saving time and lessen the mount of work made my days easier and more productive. I am at the very end of a big workflow, retouching and uploading the final images that will go to the website, and every step of my process has improved. From delegating to quality control, I highly recomend Creative Force as a tool to easy some of the pressure on your dealines and daily targets. Trust me, I've been there! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Force solving and how is that benefiting you?

No more sharing huge folders with different people. If you delegate workload to retouchers like I do, having the assigning process makes your life much easier and will save you a lot of time. I used to have to download images, separate in folders, create shared folders for each retoucher, send, download at the end of the day, review and upload. I am now just assigning through Creative Force, the HUE extention will do the download, open files, upload, and I will only need to review and approve the sets (and they will always be complete no, no moe missing images). I can say I now take 1 hour to do a task that used to take me arouns 2:30 hours to complete. And no more chasing wrong codes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Initial set up is tedious but worth it and staff support is incredible!"

5/5

What do you like best about Creative Force?

Visibility and tracking. Lots of analytics to dig into once you've used for a good period of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Force?

The basic features are fairly intuitive but there are lots of hidden little buttons and levers that aren't obvious and can hold you up from going to the next step or completing a task. Initial setup and integration is tedious if you have a homegrown admin system/platform, but the CF team is happy to partner with engineering and dev teams to support setup.

"Easy to navigate and regularly updated!"

5/5

What do you like best about Creative Force?

What I like most about the platform is how easy it is to navigate through the website. The layout is also straightforward. I'm happy that I can check the status of each image and where its location resides without having to bother other colleagues in other departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Force?

It's not necessarily something to dislike; it's some feedback: it would be cool to have an option where you can get a notification when an image is uploaded and finalized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creative Force:

Some advice I have is to take the time to explore the platform. Ask questions to your colleagues to make sure you are getting the most of it (if you work in another department apart from content creating or photography). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Force solving and how is that benefiting you?

The first and foremost problem that this software helps with has to be the back and forth communication between other departments. It allows you to be more independent and less reliable on others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Creative Freedom Through Process Optimisation"

5/5

What do you like best about Creative Force?

- Automation of menial tasks/ file management

- Reduction of Human Errors in the process

- Operational oversight

- Increase in Creativity through a shift in process for the team.

- Visibility from line level to top level.

- Exciting to see the developments to the system and the desire for the company to grow and support us.

- How quick to reply, supportive and friendly everyone at Creative Force has been to both myself and the team - I can't praise the team enough at Creative Force. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Force?

There isn't much that I could say that I dislike with Creative Force. If I were to be picky, I would say two things stand out as mild gripes. First is that due to the system being fully cloud-based, if there are any issues with the internet or server, the team grinds to a halt. Currently, no fallback to allow work to be continued/ qued up until connection is restored. The next would be, although very attentive to development ideas. Due to having to weigh against multiple different customers, development on smaller pieces that might be important to us, we will naturally have to take a back foot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creative Force:

Creative Force won't automatically solve any problems you have. What it will allow is great oversite and visibility to understand where you need to center your and your team's attention. The team at Creative Force is focused on making everyone in studios' lives as easy as possible. That shines through both in the system its self and conversations with the Creative Force Team. With an easier work-life comes; an increase in happiness, creativity, and enjoyment of just being able to 'do the do' without worrying about the boring stuff that goes alongside a manual process.

"Creative Force Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Creative Force?

I like how intuitive it is to use the program. The program is straightforward to use. It also works seamlessly with Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Force?

Before using Creative Force, I had a very organized way of keeping track of my files. When transitioning to Creative Force, I had to adjust my workflow a little bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creative Force:

If you are looking for an intuitive piece of software, then look no further. Creative Force is a great tool that has increased my productivity tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Force solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creative Force makes managing my files very easy. I realized how seamless it is to transition from one piece of software to another. One issue that I previously had was downloading files from a VPN. With Creative Force, that step in my workflow is now unnecessary, allowing me to be more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth, fast and easy."

5/5

What do you like best about Creative Force?

First, it has made our work faster - from the checked-in products to the final step - asset delivery, it covers our workflow completely. It makes the work of coordinators, photographers, DGO's, stylists, retouchers and quality control team easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Force?

Things can always be improved, but it just takes time and not everything can be introduced at once. It's fantastic because many new features and improvements have been added to what we requested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
