(Original )Information
What do you like best about Workgroups DaVinci?

You can see all the steps of a job within one place and the reviewers. It makes it easy to track a job if it starts to fall behind and message the reviewer who owns the step. It also provides live updates and automatic emails when the job reaches your step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workgroups DaVinci?

It's very slow to load each job. Once the job is loaded, it's also slow to toggle between the tabs. If you are in a job while someone is updating a step, it freezes for a minute before it refreshes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workgroups DaVinci:

Ensure automatic emails are set up to inform users when it becomes their step so they can easily track progress without having to keep the app open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workgroups DaVinci solving and how is that benefiting you?

Used to track the status of Marketing Operations emails from start to finish in the workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a lot of rough edges that we are unable to alter. I wish it was more easily changed to be more user friendly. The other feature I wish it had was just a lot more snappiness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workgroups DaVinci?

I like the ease of communication I have with my clients and that once I submit a graphic design project for review they can comment on it while rejecting or approving and the job comes from back almost immediately after they’ve made a decision regarding the job (a rejection for edits or approval) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workgroups DaVinci?

I don’t like that jobs can get lost once they are created by the client. We’ve had a lot of hard conversations about why jobs are MIA when we are approached by our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workgroups DaVinci solving and how is that benefiting you?

A lot of glitches with the tasks so we are generally using the wrong ones (send to print task for initial design) because we have learned that task will Work properly. Benefits are the proofing module, easy for the client to mark up their edits but some like to make “notes” and not use the inter active tools for edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workgroups DaVinci?

The best part of this product was how customizable it was. I worked with the development group to customize our implementation to have two separate workflows for three creative groups across the country. I was also really impressed by the advanced level of reporting we could get from the system, there was rarely a time when I could not find a way to pull a report I needed form the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workgroups DaVinci?

When I used this product, we has ongoing issues with users experiencing extreme system slowness (to the point of taking minutes to load screens) and it took quite a long time working with our IT department and Workgroups DaVinci to get Virtual Ticket running faster. We also felt a bit mislead. In our initial meeting with Workgroups DaVinci, we felt we were being shown a product that was an entirely browser based application when the reality was the browser based component was only for reviewers and all full users of the system required an application. While this worked for us in the end, it was not what we were expecting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workgroups DaVinci:

Workgroups DaVinci can be a powerful customized project management tool for your company, but make sure your IT team is involved from the start so your implementation goes smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workgroups DaVinci solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using this product helped our organization tie together three geographically separate creative groups that serve over 20+ properties across the US. We were able to consolidate and create more efficient workflows to better serve all properties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
