It replaces the chaos of email reviews with a step-by-step approval process. This makes sure all assets go through the right people while speeding up the journey from v1 to approval. In 2025, we’re helping our users cut feedback costs and further accelerate approvals with AI. Around 50% of creative reviews involve checking assets against brand guidelines and industry regulations. So we’re training our AI assistants to handle this, making them the first line of defense in a faster and more automated approval process. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 102 users.

Most of the time. When there aren't bugs. And they are constantly improving the app, so there's that. > > **Cons**: But... it's buggy. Often we receive complaints from clients about a video not loading, or not playing back, or not being able to scrub through the video. Or even being redirected to the Filestage homepage without any errors. There are better alternatives, but you have to pay more for them. ----- ### "Filestage has become our one-stop solution for managing the workflow of all our artwork-designs" — 5.0/5 > **Willy** | *14 July 2022* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - i like how you can easily set up a project and assign reviewers either internal or external and have everyone process their review-tasks in one app. - the superb and fast product support\!\!\! > > **Cons**: the project-limit sucks a bit, and the fact that you cannot get links to sections within projects > > we are currently uploading all our artwork first drats to filestage and have them reviewed there by internal personnel, like the product manager and engineer and also by our clients, for whom we sometimes make OEM artwork. I love how you can centralize reviews, versions and approvals all in one app even communicate with reviewers. ----- ### "Filestage review" — 5.0/5 > **Charlotte** | *23 August 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: That everyone can see everyone's comments, avoiding contradictory ones. Easy, collaborative, organized. > > **Cons**: New dashboard looks a bit messy, but maybe it is just a getting-used-to-thing Moving reviewers in-between stages (not inviting everyone again) Images are not shown in full crop when opening them, you always need to zoom out Possibility to "archive" images in a specific stage, let's say we send out multiple angles to a client, and they chose 3 out of 6 - to clean up that stage (but not delete the previous images if we would need them later) so it would only contain the images that we will continue working with? > > overall positive experience, almost all of our clients like it as well ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/190273/filestage?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/190273/filestage) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
