(Original )Information
What do you like best about Penji?

Penji is my ideal ally for streamlining work and making designs with extraordinary precision. What I love most is the ability to devote myself to other projects, providing sketches and documentation to designers. Each day I receive a part of the evolving project, allowing me to complete in one day what previously took 3 or more days. Penji provides a skilled team that I can almost manage as creative director, ensuring that my vision is turned into reality in an exceptional way. Thanks to Penji, my productivity is through the roof! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

Penji has exceeded my every expectation and I cannot find anything negative to date. In situations where I have requested a change of designer, customer service has responded promptly, suggesting another professional more suitable for the project. Their flexibility and attention to the client is truly appreciable. Thanks to Penji, every challenge has been met with quick and effective solutions. I highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Penji:

Penji revolutionizes the way we approach work and streamlines our graphics asset management process by incorporating custom brand illustrations and more, all at unbeatable prices. With Penji, my workflow has undergone a remarkable transformation, allowing me to focus on the core aspects of my projects, such as technology and prototyping. In addition, the details and specifications that are requested from the Designer remain true to the pattern. The more information you give the more assurance you have that you will receive a graphic asset that is true to your request.

Gone are the days when I had to spend significant time and effort managing graphic assets. Now, when I embark on a project, Penji readily assigns a dedicated team of designers to meet my specific needs and those of my clients. This collaborative approach ensures that the graphic assets created are perfectly tailored to my needs.

Most impressively, Penji allows me to work on multiple projects simultaneously. I can effortlessly activate numerous initiatives, each with its own designated designer, ensuring that each project receives the attention and expertise it deserves. This streamlined process eliminates bottlenecks and maximizes productivity, resulting in an efficient and dynamic creative environment.

Thanks to Penji's revolutionary platform, I focus on what really matters: bringing my ideas to life and delivering exceptional results to my clients. With its full range of services and dedication to customer satisfaction, Penji has become an invaluable resource in my professional toolkit, helping me realize my creative vision efficiently and effectively.You won't be able to do without it anymore! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penji solving and how is that benefiting you?

I’ve been working with Penji for several years now, and I can confidently say it has become an integral part of our team. We can’t imagine running our business without it anymore. The professionalism they offer is unmatched compared to other platforms we’ve used in the past, and their customer service is consistently outstanding. Delivery times are fast, and the design quality is always top-notch.

One of the features I appreciate most about Penji is the ability to build a team tailored to our needs, with a dedicated project manager and designers specifically chosen for each project. We receive daily updates, and we can directly interact with the designer, who carefully follows each stage of the work and implements changes according to our requests.

As a Creative Director and Innovation Manager at a software house, I oversee teams of programmers and designers. Despite being managed remotely, Penji stands out for its efficiency and unbeatable pricing, delivering a top-tier service for our company. It’s a fantastic solution for software houses, IT agencies, and many other sectors, as it significantly boosts productivity with an investment that’s highly cost-effective.

Penji truly becomes a part of your company. Even though it's an external service, it feels like they are working hand-in-hand with your internal team. A special thanks goes to Johnathan Grzybowski, who took the time to listen to our needs and requests. His kindness, respect, and availability are exceptional, and this customer-centric approach makes Penji a reliable partner.

We couldn’t be more satisfied: thanks to Penji, we’ve achieved remarkable results, increasing our productivity and, consequently, our revenue. This investment is within reach for any company, from the largest to the smallest.

A heartfelt thank you to the founders of Penji for creating a tool that the business world truly needed. THANK YOU!

Best regards,

What do you like best about Penji?

The ability to spin up tasks and have a way to easily state and pick what design services you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

1. the designs outside of the illustrations were terrible. We had three work requests for web designs and all three were a miserable failure in output. Had to work with the account team and they had changed the designers twice over and still the quality of work was terrible. The amount of time I had to spend telling them why it was terrible and how to improve was beyond frustrating.

2. The experience of the designers felt like they were junior level and were in school or something.

3. Not great at following directions and not great at applying technical or critical thinking. When asked them to read an article or background before proceeding, they simply did not incorporate what I was referring to.

4. The timezone and the "cut-off time" were all new to me. If you did not apply revisions to the work, then the team won't tackle the tasks until the next business day.

5. Over promise, under deliver. The account manager spoke to me and advised me that they are our best champions, they would follow up a few times to check but the consistency of the designers again was very questionable and terrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Penji:

Penji appears to be cost-efficient for the services but what you are getting is a design service that will not spend more than 45-2 hours a day on your tasks and they are not fantastic at following directions or understanding complex design flow. Additionally, when asked to apply critical thinking, they do not demonstrate. I would not recommend this service. The lost time would have been better spent on other tools that offered better precision, understanding, and work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penji solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were on the lookout for a design service to help us with UI, UX, and illustrations and Penji came up as a service for us to consider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Penji?

• Provides suggestions when necessary

• Offers different types of services, including layout design, illustrations etc.

• Offers different types of materials for online to traditional advertisement designs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

• Since designers change for each project, some projects might take longer or that designer may not be able to follow instructions

• Since real designers are making the materials, there might be some mistakes, but it's easily amendable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Penji:

The service is great for small teams who handle multiple projects and need a service that gives reliable results that not only is sufficient but that goes beyond what you expect. For teams who have a lot of workload, Penji can reduce the graphic & design stress marketing and advertising teams suffer when they have projects with a tight deadline.
