Frontify Reviews & Product Details

At BSI, we use Frontify as our central platform for managing Brand and Marketing assets. I love how easy it is to find, share, and use brand approved assets across different projects. The visual interface is clean with accessible guidelines and editable formats. It really helps in storing and organising logos, templates, images, and brand guidelines in one easy to access space.

As our assets library grow, finding specific assets can take longer than expected. Better search filters and metadata options would make that easier. User roles could also be more granular for managing access and editing rights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Frontify Guidelines set the industry standard for brand portals in terms of front-facing consumer view and user experience. They're highly customizable and they're constantly coming up with new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The split between front-end and back-end is confusing for users. Adding users is difficult since you have to add them on the individual library/project/guideline level and not just an overall invitation. Creating groups helps with this issue, but it's still a bit of a workaround. The only way to implement targets for better security is on the front-end, which is nice, but that feature doesn't exist for the back-end, namely in Projects. I'd like the option to add targets or a feature that allows me to hide assets from certain or all users invited to a Project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frontify offers a great platform to organize a brand guideline system, that can be frequently updated and added to. Everyone who views it will be able to see the most up to date version of our brand guidelines, rather than keeping an outdated PDF guide. The templates feature does provide a significant level of control, keeping our visuals quite locked down so nobody can create off-brand items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frontify is not a replacement for Canva, like we were led to believe. Many of the ease-of-use features in Canva are not present in the template editor on Frontify. For example, I cannot edit the size of a text box on a template within the editor, I must re-upload the entire template to do that. I cannot add additional typefaces to a template without using a significant workaround sequence. The interface is clunky and slow. I would not recommend switching away from Canva unless you are using only a small amount of templates.

In addition, though we are a large account, our feature requests and bug submissions are rarely addressed in a timely manner. Despite talking directly to our account representatives it's like our issues just go into a black hole and we never hear about them again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frontify is a great tool for having all our brand assets in one place. It's great at organizing and creating cohesive tool kits for certain marketing activities and our rep is super helpful and gives us all of the updates we need. It's very easy to use, intuitive and clean. love the features like tagging/being able to edit metadata and the uplaoding process is great and makes sense Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there are a few issues we have found, there are new parts of frontify being added all the time so sometimes existing ways of working become broken because of that and we have to figure out a different way of doing this. The customixe/template feature sometimes has issues and we have run into several complaints from people that say that things occasionaly stop working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frontify is easily the best and most consistent data asset management platform that we've used here at AEG to date. It was very easy to implement for our team once we familiarized ourselves with the platform, and it's been very easy to integrate our assets as needed. We love the ability to use metadata and tags as well as its ability to restrict access to specific folders for certain users in our company. It's been easy to find our assets from the search and we use it on a daily basis at this point! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially, it was definitely a learning curve to learn how to properly use and set up the platform for our team, but once we got the hang of it, it's been easy to maintain since. One con is that there isn't always a preview for certain file types (such as .pptx), but I know updates are to come! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use frontify on a Daily basis as a content creator and, having a one stop shop for all assets it probably the best thing about this tool. Absolute time saver, It's super easy to search and navigate, friendly interface which makes it simple for anyone to use even if you're not a creator. I've had a few questions at some point and the customer support was super fast no responding me aswell as fast to help me providing a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to have more visibility when new stuff are added to the platform :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frontify transformed the way our organization handles brand management, and we use it every day. The platform offers a comprehensive set of features that streamline our branding and marketing processes and enables collaboration across teams and with external partners. It has not only simplified our processes but also elevated the consistency and quality of our brand presence. For any organization looking to streamline their brand management, Frontify comes highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our success CSM very helpful with the onboarding process, but the learning curve for the platform can be a little steep, especially for creatives who do not have an asset management background. When questions or issues arise, we've been able to use Frontify's chat service to effectively resolve our issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The business case it valuable - being able to manage and distribute brand assets. As a one source of truth, it is an important tool for keeping brand consistency.

The user experience and the page builder in general is horrible.

For instance, font-sizes in the menu and the logo size is not set globally - you actually have to set it for each page. Imaging the amount of time it takes to update a menu for multiple pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frontify is an excellent platform for consolidating all our brand assets in one central location. It makes organising and assembling comprehensive toolkits for various marketing campaigns easy. Our account manager is fantastic—always providing timely updates and offering great support. The interface is user-friendly, intuitive, and streamlined. We really appreciate the smooth, straightforward uploading process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had some minor issues with our self serve assets but Frontify have been very good working with us to rectify those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, drag and drop, makes it easy to organize assets, can share amongst multiple designers to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as customizable as I would like. More intuitive for non-web of PC designers. A lot of the interface seems geared to designers who are comfortable or have some developers knowledge. It would be nice if it was more intuitive for designers who live in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop programs. Can be glitchy sometimes and need to find workarounds to get the site to work the way I want. A better way to export would be ideal, this should eliminate the need to design in another program but have seen exchanges related to the need for a shareable PDF guideline creation as this isn't really an option in Frontify. I know you can export a PDF but it's not very professional looking. No easy way to share without publishing or a log-in, say when needing to share with a client or for internal review during creation, this could also be the need for a better way to export.
