Volley

Excellent product with super responsive support

Opmerkingen: I buy a lot of SaaS tools, and I mean a lot. I have been very impressed with the support from the Meet Volley team. They deal with support requests quickly instead of letting it it sit in the inbox. I wish them success.

Pluspunten:

The beauty of MeetVolley is that it works, and it works really well. However, what sets it apart is the simple UI, clean design and most importantly [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the team are very fast on support and try and accommodate you where possible.

Minpunten:

I genuinely don't have any negative thing to say about this product. I hope they add more integrations in the future, but that's not really a con.

Eerder overwogen alternatieven: Userback

Redenen om voor Volley te kiezen: A much better product in my opinion all the features are probably same or similar. The support on MeetVolley is excellent and the flexibility in terms of allowing customers to white-label etc is what I needed.

Overgestapt van: Userback

Redenen om over te stappen op Volley: In this order of priority: 1) Whitelabel 2) Price 3) Excellent support 4) Clean simple design

The best collaborative software for webdesigners I have seen!

Opmerkingen: Volley takes my WordPress website design business and maintenance services to a whole new level of professionality.

Pluspunten:

Volley makes it extremely easy to take a screenshot of something on the internet and leave a comment for discussion. It can be an issue on a site I'm developing for a customer, an issue after website updates for my care plan customers or something a customer likes on another site that they would like implemented on theirs. And the best thing is that Volley is just getting better and better with more features. The authors are super easy to reach out to and the public roadmap is really worked on and you can leave suggestions there.

Minpunten:

It can be a little bit difficult for users to start using the first time and also everything is in English and not translated to Swedish.

Useful tool annotating websites with quick back and forth team feedback

Opmerkingen: With Volley, we found an easy way to write on top of the webpages and accelerate feedback between developers, clients, and designers.

Pluspunten:

Volley is useful for marking up websites to give quick feedback on design, UI, site navigation, and functionality, all with the best visual cue that is annotating over the real product.

Minpunten:

I was reluctant to try Volley at first because when my development partner pointed me to their home page and what I saw put me instantly away from trying it, an ugly designed site with super cluttered home page using terrible fonts. I thought if this is the way they present themselves, and if the site is so badly designed, why would the product design be better. So, after his reiterative insistence, I agreed in trying it and must say we are finding it useful.

Eerder overwogen alternatieven: Pastel

Redenen om voor Volley te kiezen: We were using Pastel https://www.usepastel.com/ which has a better UI and overall design but we moved because it was too expensive.

Overgestapt van: Pastel

Redenen om over te stappen op Volley: Because even though Volley is expensive, it is not such over the top expensive as Pastel.

So easy and so much more efficient!

Opmerkingen: So we made the decision to try Volley after struggling with an inefficient workflow for review and critique, as well as client design requests. We implemented this tool into our workflow and it has made life so much easier. We now use it for every project!

Pluspunten:

This has made our workflow for design review and client change requests a breeze! We are no longer bogged down by emails that are wordy and yet still do not paint the proper picture of a change. This allows a very precise way for the client or reviewer to take a snapshot of the area and mark it up with feedback.

Minpunten:

The only thing I think that may be an issue for certain clients is the chrome requirement, but otherwise I love it.

A powerful design feedback tool

Opmerkingen: Really good, there are a few client feedback tools in the space and really Volley is the simplest to use. I'm happy with Volley as is, and with forthcoming developments I expect it to become an ever more capable tool.

Pluspunten:

Simple solution to getting in browser feedback from clients on webdesign, UX and UI

Minpunten:

Currently, the app uses a chrome extension, this creates a point of friction/resistance for users. Volley are working on a completely browser-based "widget" to solve this issue. At which stage Volley will be even more awesome.
