GlobalVision Reviews

GlobalVision is very fast and really easy to use.

I didn't face any issues with GlobalVision.

My team creates artwork for a lot of packaging inserts, which tend to be text heavy. ProofWare allows us to more easily detect style/formatting errors prior to being sent to ur proofreading department and save time on revisions. It also easily detects if content is missing in packing insert artwork when compared to the source Word document. We've even found it useful and time saving when used to compare vendor proofs to submitted artwork as it reduces the need to print out large files on our plotters for light table comparisons.

We're still using the demo environment as our Systems team finalizes the steps necessary for the upgrade rollout. We've been using the demo environment with real files to test out and learn the software in actual work activities. The 2 things I've struggled with are probably very easy to address. First, I can't figure out how to create my own group of settings/preferences so that I don't have to enter...

User friendly and easy to learn and impart training.

Many quality check parameters lacks and not compatible for detailed inspection for an accuracy to 1-2 micron.

I've been using GlobalVision for a while, it is really great for proofreading.

I didn't face any cons about GlobalVision.

This software has been an essential tool in my daily quality control work at a translation company. I use it for two main reasons: to detect updates to files submitted to us from clients and to detect updates between different internal file iterations. The text inspection and graphic inspection are amazing features that make my job so much easier to conduct. I couldn't do my job well without this software!

I have experienced a few drawbacks, namely that the software can come up with hundreds of false positives where there are no true changes. Sometimes, it is difficult to sort through those. In addition, the image comparison tool has been limiting in its use because it cannot run if the two documents are different page counts. Also, it takes up a lot of memory space, so I cannot run the image inspection a majority of the times that I would like to.

The software is simple enough for both operators and QC technicians to use. Decodeabiltiy of barcodes is very accurate and so if print verification vs graphics file.

You cannot lock out all the settings. Easy for someone to change critical parameters and render the system not operable.

Software is able to provide an in depth inspection of the color, text and positioning of the incoming labels to ensure they match our customer's requirements and standards.

It works as advertised and no complaints. Of course any improvement in the speed of the software would be a bonus.

The software's ability to identify a defect and the ease of customization to meet our specifications is tremendous. The detailed reports are a major benefit during investigations and troubleshooting.

If the software could be paired with a camera for convenient in-line comparison that would be a game changer. Currently it is off-line only which requires time to walk to and from the scanner. With hundreds of scans per day across 9 sites, that is a lot of waste!

Its very intuitive, fast and easy to use and learn. Helpful tool to relieve the QC/regulatory workers while ensuring quality and documentation standards.

With the newest version: internet is needed. While i understand why (subscription model) some companies dont want a standalone workstation (for example in the production) to be connected to the internet.

I like the improvements in functionality of the current software compared to the earlier version. I can now run any combination of text, image, and/or barcode comparisons (in one program), and then pick and choose what to include in the report.

Sometimes (infrequently) the program has difficulty loading a file. Then, it's just easiest to close and reopen, and start fresh.

The software has greatly accelerated the process of checking documents, especially leaflets, and minimized the possibility of human error.

The software recognizes characters exclusively by code and often fills the report with insignificant differences. When checking boxes and primary packaging, it would be necessary to work with numbered and bound text boxes, which we are not able to do at the moment because our complete packaging is made without them, and the system does not check properly if there are none.

We chose DocuProof initially,more than 8 years ago. We were very satisfied with this proofing software, but felt that we needed to upgrade to QC Platform for the newest and best from Global Vision. The software is remarkably similar to DocuProof, but at the same time vastly different. The functions are the same, however, the new look changes the locations of the functions. Not that this is bad,...

The eraser is missing from a previous version. This allowed a single "click" to reconfigure the file for a new proofing run. We proof paragraphs at a time, so the new software is cumbersome.

The product is very easy to use. We love the user friendliness of the product and the marque feature is my favorite. It allows us to focus on critical areas of the inspection of labels for compliance purposes.

Most of the difficulties we encounter using this product are a result of poor quality master files, not related with the product itself. I can't think of any cons so far.

Being able to recognize issues prior to mass production. It also allows timely checks and balances for auditing purposes.

There we no issues regarding the current software.

The system will find every difference between the master and the sample.

The system will find every difference between the master and the sample. Meaning if 200 differences are found you have to evaluate each one to be sure a major defect is caught.

Can see what change between version of packaging and offer review for my team about mistakes

Sometimes error occur in report generation. Sometime report not show different that are in the master vs sample. Another issue I don't like is when compare text, isn't accurate 100%

Quicker in uploading files and comparing.

some files don't always compare because of layers

Global Vision integrates with my existing Esko AutomationEngine workflow. This makes for a seamless transmission for files to the inspection workflows.

The interactive inspector is a big memory hog, and sometimes i run out of memory when loading files into the interface. I am limited to the amount of RAM i can use since i work on a Mac Laptop.

Overall speed. Software checks runs very quickly.

It would be a nice feature to be able to check process values.

ArtProof has my made my job so much easier. I love that even with mismatched sized artwork, I can still get the results I'm looking for.

Navigating through the reporting functions is a little difficult, but I'm getting there.

How much time savings it is giving my team.

Getting the profile just right. Sometime we got too many errors or not finding the error all together. Also the barcode integration could be stronger. Would like to see more information other than just a letter grade for the barcode

This software has saved us a lot of time by comparing two documents from different sources. In the past, we would spend weeks reviewing and comparing documents manually. Once we started using Global Vision, the review time was cut in 1/2. The report is very clear and it shows all details of the comparisons. If I have any questions, I can count on support services at any time of the day.

There are times when the comparison is uneven or distorted. I then have to do a quick visual comparison.

adds quality and efficiency to daily work

hang ups in table comparisons. Also issues with source documents not being prepared properly

Liked the ability to review large documents easily, including the graphics, data tables etc.. and see aa line by line difference between a source document and the new document.

Currently I have not found any items that I do not like about my use of the platform.

It does a great job identifying differences between samples and masters. And it is customizable to work with many different types of files.

In our business, we have the need to check Press Forms containing 16 or more different pages. It takes time for software to identify the location of each page on the sample before it can check for differences. It become a very time intensive process to check an entire catalog.
