Lytho Reviews & Product Details

We have an in-house marketing and design team, and this platform covers a remarkable number of our needs in a single solution: request submission, project management, team communication, online proofing, digital asset management (DAM), asset sharing, and now even templating with Tempo. We use it all day, every day, and it has become a central part of our workflow. It serves as our single source of truth, and it's incredibly reliable—we've never experienced an outage.

One of its greatest strengths is flexibility. The platform is highly customizable, and organizations willing to invest some time in configuring forms, views, workflows, and account settings will get tremendous value from it. We created customized request forms that allow departments across our organization to submit work requests, which can then be converted into projects where we manage communication, reviews, approvals, and proofing all in one place. I also use several custom views that allow me to quickly see tasks assigned to my team and monitor workload at a glance.

More recently, we implemented Tempo, their templating solution. This tool is incredible and integrates directly with our design software, allowing us to convert professionally designed pieces into editable templates for staff. The support we received throughout the rollout has been exceptional—truly the gold standard. Every member of the team we've worked with has been knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. Beyond helping us learn the product, they've taken the time to understand our organization's goals, operational challenges, and processes. Their recommendations consistently reflect a deep understanding of how creative and marketing teams function, making them feel more like strategic partners than software support staff.

The knowledge base is also excellent. It provides clear, step-by-step guidance for a wide range of features and workflows, which has been especially helpful for some of our less tech-savvy users.

Last but certainly not least, the people behind the platform are outstanding. Our account team is always quick to respond, eager to share best practices, and receptive to feedback. They take customer suggestions seriously, and it's clear that continuous improvement is a priority. New enhancements and thoughtful updates are released regularly, demonstrating a genuine commitment to helping customers succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility of the tool is invaluable, but the freedom of that means that some internal protocols need to be set to keep everyone on the rails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can easily share files with folks. Even deliverables that aren't files but rather links to external repositories that host a collection of files like images is very helpful. Additionally, I'd say I really enjoy the different tracking features that help me stay organized and prioritize projects. Support articles are generally quite helpful as well, and helped substantially as I learned the platform and got comfortable using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search function is not as robust as I'd like for it to be much of the time. It is often difficult to find work or projects, especially those which are repeated more than once-twice per year or per semester. Additionally, I am unsure of how best to work in Lytho, and support articles don't make it completely clear how best to approach workflows and optimizing them for myself and my team. There are also times where Lytho is unresponsive or buggy/laggy and that can get in the way at times. I haven't integrated any of our other softwares with Lytho at this stage, nor have I utilized its AI tools or am I aware of its pricing vs. our ROI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Lytho is the dashboards that I can start my day with, as well as the custom views of all projects, that allow me to easily track my team's workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like the Adobe CC integrations offered more robust options and control over what I send to review from within the given Adobe app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrating Lytho into our team's workflow has been one of, if not *the*, best decisions we've made. We were previously using a file folder system that wasn't efficient (or digital) and made every marketing request take longer than it needed. Lytho now allows us to accept all types of marketing requests, include everyone needed to review the proof digitally (with convenient markup tools and a comment section), and provide deliverables that are easy to access and download.

Our team takes advantage of the various templates and forms you can create to make project management and routing faster. Since first adopting Lytho, we've also implemented various tags/statuses for better organization.

The customer service is amazing, and the support team is so quick to address issues. Your assigned customer success manager is also a great resource and keeps in touch to share helpful updates as well as pass requests/concerns on to their development team.

In addition to Lytho workflow, we also use the digital asset manager (DAM). Some things we love about the DAM:

- Sending upload requests to our photographers for images that can be pre-tagged

- Presets that allow us to automatically downsize hi-res images

- Pulling photos directly from the DAM into Lytho workflow (and other integrated features)

- Easily create new tags when needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Lytho is really reliable and offers great customer and tech support, our team tends to experience issues with pages not loading/throwing errors. We call these "monkey errors" since it includes a monkey image above the text. These happen out of nowhere while waiting on a proof to load or after submitting a review. Even after discussing with our customer success manager, there hasn't been an answer for why these happen.

Lytho has refined the review process over time and last year gave the proofing page an entirely new look. Buttons were moved, and for the most part the new look makes sense. However, the review submission options is still a little confusing - especially to users on our campus who don't frequently use Lytho. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Lytho's intuitive user interface, which is crucial in making navigation simple and effective. The ability to customize with custom views, reports, and review routes is particularly valuable, allowing me to tailor the software to the specific needs of our business. This customizability significantly enhances our workflow by ensuring that the right individuals can review and approve projects, which saves us a lot of time and provides us with accurate information. I find Lytho instrumental in organizing our proofing process for creative assets and keeping all projects well organized, which is essential for managing multiple deliverables across product packaging, materials, and campaigns. The platform has eliminated the chaos of paperwork and excessive email exchanges, essentially streamlining our review process and ensuring we have a record of proper approvals before publishing, which boosts our operational efficiency. Moreover, the onboarding specialist and regular meetings made the initial setup quite easy, allowing us to get up and running quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like the review environment in Lytho to allow me to reference my original notes and the original request submitted. This would ensure that the final output matches what was initially asked for. Although I appreciate the updates and changes being made, this feature is not yet available, and having it would improve the review process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Lytho makes it very easy to have a centralized view of our marketing team's projects, dependencies, and due dates. It's also convenient to have an in-platform method of reviewing proofs. The UI is very intuitive and easy to use, with a clean, streamlined design and a menu flow that makes sense. Buttons are clearly labeled and easy to find, so there's no guessing about their function. The onboarding process has been great, with Lytho being committed to working with us through every step of setup and being readily available to chat or troubleshoot when needed.

The UI is sometimes overly simplistic; sometimes it can be clunky adding multiple people to routes. The route additions could be solved by switching to a different method of selection, perhaps by presenting the choices in a grid. It can be difficult to scroll through a crowded drop down menu.

We’ve been using Lytho’s DAM for five years. Even our less tech-savvy stakeholders can find what they’re looking for after a quick briefing on tags. The tag-based organization makes it easy to locate assets in multiple ways, and we also rely on shared links to route and traffic assets.

Our brand guides are housed in the Lytho DAM as well. It’s straightforward to create customized mini brand guides from our main guide, so we can share only the information a vendor partner needs without giving away our entire brand identity.

Over the last couple of years, we’ve also gotten more involved with Tempo. The templates help stakeholders and non-designers create assets from approved, constrained layouts, which saves our designers from repetitive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have had some issues with bugs in the DAM, especially with tags not being searchable and older Tempo templates being inconsistent/"breaking". We do wish for a more seamless integration between Tempo templates and Lytho proofing and then uploading approved work into the DAM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lytho has made managing our asset library much smoother, and the proofing tools are excellent for team collaboration. The only downside is that loading times can feel a bit sluggish when uploading high-res files or working with large template folders. If you can optimize performance and speed a little, it would easily be a 5/5 tool for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform has clear strengths, there are several areas where the overall user experience falls short, especially around the UI and day-to-day performance. The interface often feels rigid and overly complex, and it can take too many clicks to complete basic tasks like navigating subfolders or managing brand templates. That friction is made worse by performance issues: the system can get noticeably sluggish and slow to load, particularly when working with high-res assets or running batch updates, which ends up bogging down our daily workflow.

The integration ecosystem also feels somewhat limited. It takes a lot of manual effort to keep Lytho working smoothly with the rest of our tech stack, and stronger native connections to creative tools and project management apps would save us a significant amount of time. On top of that, the AI features feel fairly basic right now, they don’t provide the level of smart tagging or workflow automation we need to genuinely speed up asset organization.

Lastly, the pricing structure feels quite steep when you weigh it against these limitations, especially once you factor in the support experience. When we hit technical roadblocks, customer support response times can be slow, and it often takes too long to get issues resolved. Given the premium price point, we expected tighter integrations, smoother performance, and much more responsive help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a designer, I use Lytho daily and I like having all the organization and tracking in one place. It makes it more efficient not to have to use more than one software to track projects, review them, and share assets. It is understandable enough for all clientele throughout our university.

Sometimes it seems like the templating for projects is complicated, but I think it's mainly a learning curve and figuring out what our company uses and how. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to say as I like so much! We have many Lytho products (Workflow, DAM, Tempo) and love how well they all work with one another. I love how responsive the reps are. I love how we can give feedback or feature requests and sometimes see those implemented in the future. I think it's an amazing system with great people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still think the project/work views aren't the most user friendly. We no longer use Monday.com in addition to Lytho, but there are features I GREATLY miss. The biggest one is Monday.com was just easier to look at — the UI of it. Lytho's table view (which should be the default tbh) is a great improvement over the default, but it's a lot like looking at a giant excel spreadsheet. I think some formatting (alternating table rows, conditional formatting, etc.) would help it be a little more engaging to view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
