"The place to review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

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 content that our company needs approval on. Easily set due dates, add people for review, and even add review steps to let final users/clients view before going live. Due dates make it easy to know when the project needs to be compleated and ensures it will be done on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

One thing I dislike about filestage is once projects and comments are in a new review step you can't remove them. Another aspect I don't like is that you can not drag files to a different project if you want to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overall great program, some loading issues, but is as an easy client communication tool!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

Easy touch screen for comments. Easy messaging interface to communicate with clients and also internally. Makes video editing so easy.

Glitches with framing here and there - program will add small black bars to edge of frame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

Loading in images can take quite a bit of time. Comments also have slow load times at points. The preview bar on the bottom was better when it was a static bar vs when you roll over it pops out. Sometime it is glitchy and won't show the previews on the bottom of the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent file reviewing platform, with advance tools"
5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

An excellent approach to receiving detailed feedback on work. The artist has the option to immediately mark up your draught where changes need to be made. Since everyone can read each other's remarks, there are seldom any repetitions, and opposing viewpoints may be noted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

Not really a massive issue. It only occasionally has a small problem while downloading. It can be a little challenging to upload with a popular name sometime, but not always. We might need to upload a file more than once. Another area where the file stage can struggle is the searching feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Filestage GmbH of Filestage

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

What do you like best about Filestage?

intuitive workflow for review videos. timecodes, and jumping to comments on the timeline Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

all advance review options like comparing versions should be available from the basic plan - since this limiting user experience, especially when some teams want to start first with the basic plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for content creation teams"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

I work in marketing and FIlestage simplifies our feedback rounds. The tool makes it really easy to upload a document and send it to be reviewed by as few or as many people regardless of whether they have a Filestage account or not. Since comments can be added anywhere, it's easy to pinpoint where changes are needed. It's simple, straightforward, and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

The backend has a lot of options which sometimes can be a little confusing. For example, the 'project' and 'folder' options and the different review steps that can be added. I must be honest and say I haven't made use of the tutorials they have and I'm sure they're quite helpful in clarifying this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Adèle Landreau of Filestage

Hi Natalia, thanks a lot for sharing your experience with Filestage.

We love to hear how easy you find it, to upload your documents and pinpoints where changes are needed. Of course, feel free to look into our video tutorials, and we'll also get in touch with you to book a call for a run-through of the features!

"Streamlining Multi-team Reviews"
5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

Filestage is easy to use and simplifies a number of processes that were non-digital and non-intuitive for our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

I don't have any major dislikes, but the power-users need to understand how to set up review processes. Not really an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"easy and simple tool for reviewing any file"
5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

the capacity to attach a comment to a specific section of the creative work that is being evaluated. This helps the creative team member quickly identify the area of the design I'm commenting on and saves time that would have been spent describing where I intend to make my comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

I haven't seen anything till today which I disliked, i loved everything from UI to annotation, and it supports various files formats which we can upload, and heavy files also can be uploaded smoothly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy tool to share creative and get feedback"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

I love the ease of use when it comes to sharing creative with teams and clients. We are able to make internal comments, therefore following best practices when it comes to content for social media, and follow up with comments from clients to refine their view of branding and overall likes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

Again, Filestage is extremely easy to use. The only improvement I would make is to make downloading files (in the file type you want) a little easier. It seems slightly clunky at this point, and not as intuitive as other aspects of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Adèle Landreau of Filestage

Hi Leslie, thanks so much for leaving us your review.

We're super glad to hear you find Filestage easy to use and that it helps you centralize your reviews in one place!

Thank you for your feedback regarding our download feature, and we'll get in touch with you to hear more about this so we can improve even more.

Again, thanks a lot for your support and feedback.

"A solid way to share/address notes across video versions"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

The notes left by contributors are easy to navigate, and the upload process works smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

Drag and drop file uploading got disabled a week ago for a bit, and that was frustrating. It feels like sometimes there isn't an understanding from the dev team which features people use all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Adèle Landreau of Filestage

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate you've taken the time to share your experience with Filestage, and how it helps with your review and approval process!

We understand you have missed the drag and drop functionality, but we can confirm it was fixed shortly after the glitch. We're super sorry you've been affected by this.

Thanks again for your support and continued trust,

"Filestage as a tool for internal creative reviews and packaging proofing"
4/5
What do you like best about Filestage?

Intuitive and easy to navigate. Being able to change the quality of PDFs for larger files as well as being able to pin point sections of video files is great. Comments are easier to track in UI than some others I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

It seems that we are constantly needing to archive projects. Not sure if versioning counts as files or if we just need to up our allotted file amount, but its become a bit of a tedious part of using the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Filestage GmbH of Filestage

Hi Adam, thanks for your great feedback!

We really appreciate you've taken the time to leave this review. We're happy to hear that we helped you organize your feedback process.

We've shared your feedback about the archived projects with our team, and they are looking into it, so you should look out for some exciting news about it very soon!

Thanks again,
