Admation Reviews
A powerful tool for tracking artwork submission and approvals.
I can see what my jobs are and importantly what their job numbers are so I can track the artwork down from the server. I can also find relevant material to a job assuming the client has remembered to upload anything.
Good but still could be better
Good but not great, could definitely be more user friendly
Admation works well when it works
When admation works and I fully understand all the tips and tricks, it works really well and makes our process a lot easier. However, it does take a lot of training to adjust to the interface and figure out how every task works.
Still needs a few tweaks
Overall it's fine, but a few tweaks to the way the software operates will help it be a more seamless experience.
Admation review - Marketing team
I love it. First of all, it give me peace of mind that our enterprise compliance around signoff is met. secondly, the Admation is great for tracking progression of a job/ include reminders. Also, you can customise your dashboard to see all your projects and where all your current jobs are.

A powerful tool for tracking artwork submission and approvals.
Pros
1. You can see where all your current jobs are, what their job numbers are and if they have been reviewed and or approved.
2. The preview is fast.
3. Great for tracking progression of a job.
4. The Admation team bring out regular improvements to the software.
Cons
1. It involves too many steps to upload a single piece of artwork.
2. It generates a different job number for every element of a campaign, if you have 60 pieces of artwork you have 60 different job numbers for one campaign. Surely the description of the file dictates the difference without the need for seperate job numbers.
3. Overly complicated at times.
4. Markups to PDF's are very messy. Shame it doesn't use Acrobat to markup.

Admation works well when it works
When admation works and I fully understand all the tips and tricks, it works really well and makes our process a lot easier. However, it does take a lot of training to adjust to the interface and figure out how every task works.
Pros
The feedback mode and direct chain from client to suit to studio is the best part of the software.
Cons
The interface is very buggy. On multiple occasions, the site has crashed at pivotal moments i.e. when you mark up 50 changes and then hit changes, suddenly a little bee illustrations pops up on your screen saying there's an error. The interface isn't very user friendly as there are multiple steps for a basic tasks. One of the least favourable things is not having the ability to batch download a project. A lot of our clients struggle with the interface as some of the mark up tools aren't familiar enough (they're used to marking up Adobe PDFs) and the user journey is a bit flawed (i.e. click changes after entering feedback).
Response from Automaton

Still needs a few tweaks
Overall it's fine, but a few tweaks to the way the software operates will help it be a more seamless experience.
Pros
Great for transparency across colleague's work and their obligation on certain tasks
Cons
You can't click back without the page messing up. Sometimes colleague feedback is overwhelming and you can't really tell the order that it's in.
Response from Automaton
Hi Anna,
Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm glad that you're enjoying the additional transparency around providing feedback.
There's an option in the system to Download a PDF report with feedback that's numbered in order. The button to download the PDF is found just above any existing comments on the right hand side of your approvals screen. Let me know if that's an easier way to view feedback in the system! If you require any additional support, please don't hesitate to email [email protected] for assistance!
Happy Productivity!
