Workfront’s ProofHQ feature is pretty great. You can make comments directly onto documents without downloading and resaving anything.

Agree. Workfront PHQ is the best out there. Easy to use and captures all comments. It’s efficient as a routing tool

Figure the process, communicatiins, and roles & responsibilities. If those are in place, a good team, especially with good PM(s) support can increase team efficiency and effectiveness with Excel or even a whiteboard. Without the basics in place, tools, especially expensive ones, can make matters worse. If you are compelled to go down the tool road, would start with something free with reasonable functionality. Free version of Trello will get you pretty far.

Wrike is better than Monday! I’ve used all three and it’s the most comprehensive.

As a creative director who works with a lot of freelancers I would love something that helps with reviewing and giving comprehensive feedback so I don’t need to mark up stuff in preview or even print it out and mark it up. Can Wrike do that? If not what review software/service would you reco. Thank you!
