Lytho Reviews & Product Details

I really appreciate the creative layout of Lytho; it’s a creative project management software, and its design reflects that creativity. It's easy to navigate, which simplifies managing tasks and projects effectively. What I love most is having everything associated with a project in one place. This centralization is incredibly beneficial as it ensures that all teams, including marketing, sales, designers, LP&E, and digital departments, can view and understand the project's status by looking at the tasks. Everyone can easily access their assets and working files, making collaboration seamless. Additionally, it’s advantageous to look back at previous years and see the work we've accomplished, aiding in both evaluation and planning. Working with the Lytho team for future ideas and trainings has also been great, providing ongoing support and development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the review dashboard has improved but still causes confusion because it doesn't link to the project request form, Stakeholders sometimes have no idea what review is associated to what project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Lytho to manage creative projects for our brands and it makes managing projects simple across multiple brands and a team of creatives. I love that the review process is so easily customized with who reviews the assets and in what order and who is needed to approve. With so many marketers, it can be difficult to get the correct people to sign off. Setting up tiers of reviewers and saying how many of them need to approve makes it much simpler. The tool sends notifications automatically and you can also remind manually, meaning everyone added to a review process knows when a project is ready to be reviewed. The support team at Lytho does the heavy lifting for you and from there you have access to make any changes or customizations that make sense for your team. The support team is always happy to jump on a call and work through things. You always have a dedicated customer success manager and they have a helpdesk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lytho search is not good, it is the only feature that is really lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An approachable interface that puts at the center of the experience what most (of our) DAM users spend 99% of their time doing: searching for, selecting, downloading and sharing assets. We provide access to employees and customers alike, and no-one has ever come back saying they don't understand how it works.

Search and AI search are powerful—I don't even bother with our company's internal shared drives anymore if I know (or suspect) the asset is on DAM.

Solid breadth of functionality for administrators, too. Here's a quick selection:

• Tags, tag categories, tag translations, and the ability to create tag menus;

• Custom metadata fields;

• User roles and groups, with role, group and user-level Permissions control;

• Asset collections: organized bundles of assets for easy sharing;

• Asset versioning;

• Approval workflows;

• Custom image presets: upload one source image (e.g. .png 3000x3000), and allow users to select from the original or pre-determined file type/dimension combinations (e.g. .jpeg 1000x1000).

Most importantly, it's fast. The interface reacts very quickly when searching and filtering—doing anything, really.

Starting with using Lytho DAM is a breeze as well. Lytho has a strong onboarding program for administrators, with several sessions over the course of several weeks. Every session gives you some homework that essentially guides you in preparing the DAM for use in your organization (think tag taxonomy and permission structures, for example).

For users, the tool is rather intuitive. However, I would advise to devise your own training program. First, ease-of-use is highly dependent on your tag taxonomy and tagging diligence (although the powerful search function often makes up for any lacking in those areas).

Second, precisely because the platform is so powerful, it helps teaching people the ins and outs of the various ways of searching: "fuzzy search", tag search, tag selection from a menu, and that you can make any combination of these. Many people limit themselves to just using the search bar with "fuzzy" search only. In my experience, teaching them the full gamut in search functionality gives users a huge boost in efficiency and precision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Literally nothing to complain about.

It might be due to the relatively low complexity of our asset "ecosystem" (although I have no benchmarks), but I never find myself missing any functionality. Everything that I might need as an administrator ánd user is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows you to customize your workflow and maximize efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Editing request forms has so be done by their support team, but they're very responsive and quick, so it's not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that this project management platform is a one stop shop. Everything is seamlessly integrated making the process from start to finish easy. For example the work/project request is submitted in Lytho, assigned to whoever is needed, proof(s) can be uploaded, all reviewed and added edits and finally the project files get turned in right on that original task!

There really isn't anything that I dislike, there could be adjustments to enhance the platform even further. One I could think of is the searchability of tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the review system in Lytho and find the email test proofing to be beneficial. The initial setup experience was positive, thanks to our implementation lead who was fabulous. I also appreciate their support team for being super responsive and providing a lot of 1:1 support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The form builder and project intake flow is so-so, and campaign/project/task statuses all have to be manually updated, which is very odd for a project management/creative operations platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lytho keeps our graphic design and communications team on track and centralizes all of our project information in one place. It’s helped us manage a high volume of work while staying efficient and organized. I love being able to easily refer back to previous projects, and it has definitely improved how we collaborate as a team. The program is much more detailed than other project management systems I’ve used. Being able to build full campaigns is a huge advantage, and the overall organization is significantly better.

I also really appreciate the project tracking. Seeing how many projects we complete in a year clearly shows the amount of work we’re accomplishing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d love to see a visual “wall” or dashboard that shows which projects have been completed and when files are uploaded. Basecamp has a feature like this, and it’s really helpful for seeing what the team is working on. Right now, we can’t easily see what others are working on, so having this kind of visibility would provide more insight and alignment.

Improving searchability would make a big difference. At the moment, you have to type the project name exactly to find it, which can be limiting. A more flexible search would make things much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to sort requests and assign them to the people who need to see them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the ui/ux updates to proofs are bizarre. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Lytho for proofing graphic arts projects, and it's faster than inter-office mail. I like the tools that help reviewers specify exactly where areas need to be corrected or revised, like the box selection or the arrow tool to point to specific areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find there's too much clicking when I want to go back to my list of projects. First, I have to exit the proof, then close that project, then click on my projects again and locate which job I want to look at next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Lytho is the way it unifies creative workflow, proofing, and asset management within a single, well-organized platform. Submitting and tracking creative requests becomes straightforward, and collaborating on proofs is seamless thanks to clear version control. Storing final assets in a central brand library is also a major advantage. The structured review process keeps projects on track, minimizes the need for lengthy email exchanges, and ensures everyone is working with the latest files. This is particularly valuable for maintaining brand consistency and enhancing visibility across different teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The commenting tools in Lytho often feel unintuitive, which can make it challenging for users to manage feedback efficiently. This is particularly noticeable when several reviewers are participating, as replies may become lost within lengthy threads. Furthermore, the platform frequently produces an abundance of notifications, overwhelming users with a flood of emails and making it easy to overlook important alerts in the midst of the clutter.
