	Approval Studio	Filestage
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	I think Filestage is perfect for projects where there is a team involved and several eyes need to be on the project. I don't think it is necessary for small projects where the approval process only goes through one other person. It also keeps everyone on schedule without being annoying.

Cons	No answers on this topic	I would like to see a little more control over sending reminders to review a project. Maybe a notification to let the level of urgency for a rush job for tight turnarounds would be helpful. I would like to have maybe one more level of the folder structure to separate a large group of projects by the user. Incentivized Matthew DeLaRosa Graphic Designer Read full review
