What do you like best about Filestage?

You can mark exactly where you would like to make a comment, mark the revision as complete, respond to comments and get emailed when revisions have been made. The categorization of files and who can review is very helpful as well. It's easy to stay organized and communicate clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

Sometimes the clients can review before you're ready for them to because the file can sometimes be seen by reviewers in stage 2 while trying to upload to stage one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Filestage?

It's so easy to leave comments on the right part or timestampe of any creative (video, audio, img). Love the flexibility of being able to draw arrows, circles, etc around areas and leave feedback. User interface is nice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

Wish I could hit a button to download a piece of creative without having to open it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Adèle Landreau of Filestage

Hi Dan, great to see how Filestage has helped you provide your feedback to your designers.

We're super happy that leaving feedback on videos is easy with Filestage, and actually we're looking at improving our download feature, so look out for some news about it soon!

Thanks again,

"Great Software with Excellent Support"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

Filestage helps our team proof content faster than ever!

We love how our clients can make comments directly on our mockups and how Filestage makes checklists to ensure we address every single one.

Due dates on projects help our clients know which tasks are the most pressing, and Filestage sends out notifications to us as soon as a project has been reviewed internally and externally. We use it every day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

There are a few bugs that sometimes slows down our workflow:

Occasionally we experience issues with abrupt sign-outs, and we can't sign back in quickly because some of the login prompts are missing (such as sign-in with Google.)

Our clients will also message us and say they can see our mockup files, but Filestage won't allow them to make edits or send approval, and they have to email us their feedback instead, defeating the program's purpose.

Sometimes the due date field glitches, and we have to choose an incorrect date to trick the program into selecting the correct date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Filestage GmbH of Filestage

"Great user experience!"
4/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

Filestage makes it easy for me and my clients to review content submissions from our creators. It makes the process seamless and eliminates the need for lengthy emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

Not exactly dislike, but there are still a few features that can be improved on. Like the ability to group all approved content at the bottom like the old version, so it's not very confusing for everyone to differentiate the approved vs. the not approved ones.

"Helpful tool, but clumsy and confusing project views."
1.5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

The video review page is easy to use, the UI is pleasant for video reviewing, and the approvals process from a user's perspective is straightforward. I like that each comment has a check box to mark if it's done, which is helpful for editors, and it's helpful for me to know when an editor has updated an edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

The new project details page is unnecessarily difficult and confusing. I work with VO and video edits. I used to have a VO step and a video edit step, but now they've been smushed together. When someone uploads a video for review, they need to close the VO review and start the video review, which wasn't necessary with the old UI. Also, the columns are too narrow, and I can't adjust the column width to see the full filenames. So much unneccessary dead space (I only have 2 review steps). Basically, the project view is AWFUL.

It's also so much time consuming and painstaking work to add or remove someone to multiple projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Filestage GmbH of Filestage

"Great platform for sharing graphic design files with team members and clients"
5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

Filestage has been most helpful for working with graphic designers and writers working on client content. It has been a great platform to share comments, notes and finalize approvals. Filestage is great because it accepts all different file formats from videos to audio, to graphic design. The whole team can come to one place to review any design content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

At first, it was a little confusing for me to understand what was visible to our clients vs. what was visible to just our internal team. It was also a little difficult to share links to clients to review content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Filestage GmbH of Filestage

Hello Sandra, thanks for your great feedback!

We really appreciate you've taken the time to leave this review. We're looking forward to collaborating further with you.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

replace feature which makes the latest files confusing because they are put together in one progress list column, they should only be separated or replaced correctly so that it only becomes one file Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reviews have never been easier"
5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

All comments are complied together in one place where they are easily trackable. No more messy email chains searching for who said what and when. The review process is much more streamlined and review teams can work together before requesting changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

It is a little hard to review websites that are in the staging process. The formatting doesn't transfer over correctly sometimes so it doesn't give you an accurate display of the website. Makes it hard for detailed reviews and tweaks to be conveyed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Filestage - easy to use, intuitive and fun"
5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

I like the "side-by-side comparison" feature in Filestage. It is what I use most to verify that all my edits were executed correctly. I also like that if you accidentally approve a file because you missed an edit that you just notice as you hit approve, you are given a few seconds to repeal that approval and change it to a rejection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

I don't really have anything that I dislike about the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Filestage GmbH of Filestage

Filestage helps our company making the link between client and designer way easier. Instead of sending email after email filestage is a place where you can organize everything clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filestage sometimes can crash or not load. That sometimes can be annoying in the rush of a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
