zipBoard Features

Screenshot functionality with comments shown on page, ability to post comments within a stream although these can be difficult to read. If status changes were a different colour that would help.

Can be a clunky user experience, especially from a client perspective, so it can be hard to collaborate within this platform. They tend to resort to emailing their feedback instead of creating tasks. Do you have any basic user guides for logging in, accessing the website review page, creating tasks and tagging users or reassigning?

zipBoard has very intuitive user interface. Once the user is onboarded, they do not need any manual or help documentation to get started. Workflow is very easy to implement starting from creating project till the signing off from the client. Those who want to start your career as freelancer or web agency, I highly recommend zipBoard.

I wish the design can be much more fluid in terms of navigation and performance. We cannot see the lag in the naked eye, but it can be improved.

- My time efficiency has quadrupled within 30 days - No side effects

- My productivity is almost too much and people are complaining that I'm doing too much work.

The user interface and ease of use. We can also switch between table and Kanban view.

There is nothing to dislike. It solves the purpose like a charm.

*Ease of use: clients who self-identify as "not a computer whiz" had no trouble using the platform and features. *Ability for client to view a webpage, click somewhere on it, make a comment about that area, and move on...all while tasks get created and organized in a "to do" list gets generated in the background...makes client feedback a BREEZE. *Effective tracking: even if the client isn't labeling...

When the "collaborator" (ability to add a "client" is an enterprise only, custom price point) provides feedback, the task status isn't automatically changed from "waiting on client feedback" - so the "collaborator" (ie, my client) has to manually change the status to something else - otherwise the task, although provided with feedback, remains in the "I'm waiting on you" stage. The method for changing...

One of the strong points of the application is the ability to review the web based content, images, documents, or PDFs as the end viewer/learner. It allows the reviewer to experience the process from the actual finished viewing perspective. The ease of use is also very impressive, the reviewer selects the link and they are immediately directed to the presentation/web site/document/etc. It's just simple. From a task management perspective, the application is also extremely simple and logical. Customer or client feedback is easily reviewed and processed. Internal feedback is also incredibly easy to process, and with the actual location of any reported issues pinned to the task, resolution and validation is intuitive.

There really isn't any; the application is easy to use, intuitive, and consistently reliable.

We used the software for tracking our website update project that includes 4 separate websites. Pros were being able to organize our project into easily digestible chunks, make timelines and have all members view them, assign tasks to individuals, and even be able to take a screenshot and comment directly on the screenshot for all to see - this made it much easier for people to know what you're talking about!

The only con I saw was that it took a little bit of effort to understand all of the features, and use them appropriately. Honestly, though, that's probably my fault than Zipboard's. They have a great feature suite, even for freemium users!

The interface concept is simple and easy to use, even though it still has some sections where it could be better. There are big buttons for you to click on tasks, upload files, add collaborators and share your projects.

For developers reviewing client or internal issues, you have to go back and forth to filter the status of each task, clicking and taking to another window. I feel like if there are shortcuts that allow the user to change the status of an open item directly from the tasks, it would be easier for the reviewers. Also, I've noticed some of our clients have issues reviewing, they need to create a login and some just don't have the time, not sure if this is a bug but it could be resolved if its not supposed to happen.

I like the ease of use of zipBoard and that I can take screenshots and point the person in charge to the exact location. The filter options are also great.

The software is sometimes buggy and freezes. When we work on a large project, it sometimes does not work. We've had clients refusing to use the software because of firewall restrictions.

-Simple and easy way to track needed edits -Ability to see exact locations of needed changes -Collaboration of the entire team and client in one place -Tracking all changes throughout the life of a project -Customer support

-Missing a few features, like the ability to archive older versions / feedback, but these are being rolled out continuously -Occasional down times, but this is getting less frequent -User interface is still a little clunky and needs some updates

The user interface is very easy to navigate and nothing to tucked behind confusing menu options. When you click on an option, you get what you click and nothing else.

The color scheme can sometimes be a bit glaring if you're working late at night with your laptop as the only light source. Not a huge problem, but something worth noting.

It makes working with clients for reviews seamless and saves SO much time. Efficiency is a huge reason why we went with zipBoard.

Nothing of note. We have had a very wonderful experience so far.

Zipboard has been amazing for quickly being able to point out complex or difficult to explain changes that need to be made on our website. Rather than write up a small book I can quickly use the provided tools to visually capture the problem and point, encircle, and write a note connected to the needed changes. It has saved us so much time and increased productivity. Highly recommend.

Getting around the software can be a bit confusing at times. Once you get the hang of it, how things are organized, it starts to make more sense.

LOVE zipboard. (Free to use for basic needs, too). For most projects, software like Asana or Monday might be enough. For team collaboration projects that center around visual projects like website design, this is a game-changer. Helped save so much time to just point an arrow at an object on a webpage and say something like "this needs moved to the right side and color changed to brand red". It's all about the show, less tell, and tons of time is saved because of it.

Some of the UI could be a little better. But overall it's easy enough to use and quickly figure out that it's not an issue.

I can capture any part of a site/page and mark it up to share.

I don't really know - I will put more time into to see what it can produce. It looks like it is pretty valuable.

Bug Tracking I like the most in the software because of add watchers.

Track Progress needs some more insights

Love that you can take screenshots of the page and show exactly what needs to be changed. I also like that you can assign tasks to specific individuals and set the priority of them so that everyone can manage their time and efforts better.

The only hiccup we had was having developers use the site - it would have been better if double clicking a task on the kanban board would bring them to the screenshot directly and show the rest of the tasks that are also on that page

I work on a team with a lot of cooks in the kitchen and a lot opinions. Zipboard allows comments to be made directly on screens and facilitates conversation across teammates.

the usability is not intuitive which makes learning the tool extremely difficult.

I liked most that it was fully functional and progressive in the sense of technology. It wasn't older than time, and it was accessible to those that come from earlier generations, as well as newer ones.

What I liked least was the spamming via email, and the length of time it took for customer support to acknowledge and help those that were seeking it.

The tool was really easy to use and to navigate.

I feel like I got way too many emails but wasn't clear on how to turn off notifications.

It provides the features to collaborate with different teams when you are all reviewing and evaluating a project/product/website, etc.

The filtering in the dashboard might need some more love from the developer.

simple/easy to use, takes 5min to explain to someone how to use it if they're reviewing content.

I don't like that it requires a browser extension, this can limit where this tool can be used greatly, which means I personally can't use it with every colleague as depends on where they are situated. Of course, I know its very difficult, possibly not doable currently to have software like this without requiring a browser extension. Also the logo...the 'zB' logo looks terrible and makes the software appear like it might be less professional/trustworthy than it is.

There are a lot of options Cool that you can assign tasks Relatively easy to use

The UI is definitely old Not extremely intuitive for a first time user I do not like how screenshots are always taken
