Chose Filestage
We use Slack - but not really for organizing, proofing, or approving projects. We use it more as a communication tool for the employees that are spread across the country. We will occasionally post smaller jobs there - but most of our projects go through Filestage.

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
  • 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.
