"Designer using Lytho"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lytho?

I like the clearcut method used for providing edits and how I can customize my list of jobs in multiple categories Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lytho?

For my purposes, this was not an easy program to use and a lot of the training didn't apply to how I use this on a day-to-day basis. I did eventually figure it out but I'd suggest having more training for work specific to designers for tracking, editing and managing design projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use Lytho with Standout Brand Centers and Workflow Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Lytho?

I like how Lytho is easy to use and has some nice unique features such as brand centers and ties into workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lytho?

Lytho has some interface UI/UX issues I have reported to the development team. A broad example is that a task can be completed in one area such as collections, however the same task cannot be completed in another such as Brand Center Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unmatched Customer Service and Support That Keeps Getting Better"
4/5
What do you like best about Lytho?

Hands down the customer service! From on-boarding to continued support, it's something I haven't seen that the competitors can match. They are very good at taking feedback and implementation of new features. Or scheduling time to walk through things or just check ins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lytho?

Compared to something like cc libraries that Adobe has, there are definitely some features that would be nice to have. Some features are slow to roll, if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Project Organization with Useful Features"
5/5
What do you like best about Lytho?

I like the ability to set statuses in Lytho and the timer feature when I'm working on tasks. I can set a status on a project myself or change it if I feel that I'm done with it already. For the timer feature, I like that I can turn it on to track how long it takes me to do a project. It does a great job at organizing projects and keeping them in a workflow so I don't have to think about who to send things to. It was really easy to understand for me when I first got here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lytho?

The only thing I don't like is that when you put something into a proof, the default is for a dark screen. This makes for a difficult user experience for people reviewing proofs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Too Restrictive DAM—Frequent Workarounds Needed"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Lytho?

It does have the ability to store images and provide workflow management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lytho?

The DAM is too restrictive for what we want to do. Most of the projects we have worked on Lythos could not support and we needed to find a workaround. In many cases we needed to put a Sharepoint site in front of lythos so we could use the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lytho is a wonderful tool!"
4/5
What do you like best about Lytho?

What I appreciate most about Lytho is the transparency it provides to our clients throughout every stage of their submission. It also offers a single platform for both our clients and our team, making sure everyone stays aligned. Additionally, I have to mention how impressive the metrics are that I can generate for leadership—they truly stand out! Lastly, customer support is always quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lytho?

Unfortunately, it often takes quite a while for the updates we need to be implemented in Lytho. Our requests are added to a wish list, and unless many customers want the same feature, it can take months for any changes to actually happen—if they happen at all. I also wish there were more flexibility for customers to modify certain features, like the approval statuses for proofs, since the current options can't be edited.

Response from Natalie Williams of Lytho

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We are so glad Lytho brings transparency and clarity to your process, and we appreciate your feedback on feature flexibility and timing as we work to improve the experience.

"Centralized Feedback Made Easy with Lytho"
4/5
What do you like best about Lytho?

I love using Lytho to house all SME feedback. No more chasing down emails, Teams messages, etc. All feedback is housed in one location. Love the deadlines we can set up for each step of the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lytho?

I don't care for the new review layout. All comments showing up on the right-hand side is confusing, harder to keep track of where I am at. Also noticing that sometimes if I click on a comment it's not jumping me to that page/location like it should. Also, when submitting a review it's really annoying that I have to make sure I select "all assets" or whatever it is since we mostly work in multiple-page documents. Also having to hit "submit" multiple times is annoying and when introducing new users they typically forget to hit "submit" that last time so then their review isn't complete and I have to ask them about it. Do not like that you are unable to edit a review route after it has started, that has caused some hiccups for us. I also think that collaboration after return should ALWAYS be on.

"Creative Project Management with Streamlined Organization"
5/5
What do you like best about Lytho?

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.

What do you dislike about Lytho?

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.
