Likelihood to Recommend I would recommend Adobe CC Express, especially if the colleague were an established Adobe user. The interface is designed so that anyone familiar with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, or any other Adobe software products, will be familiar. This is a product that competes with Canva, but it's great to have the simplicity of Canva with an interface that feels familiar from day one.
Read full review As a filmmaker and designer, I've found that Drawtify is well suited for a variety of projects. One of the things I like most about it is its user-friendliness. Even if you're not a graphic design expert, you can still create professional-looking designs with this tool.One scenario where Drawtify is particularly well suited is for creating title cards and lower thirds for videos. The software's text and shape tools are easy to use and allow for a lot of customization, so you can create designs that perfectly match the aesthetic of your film.Another scenario where Drawtify shines is in creating animation. The software's animation feature is intuitive and easy to use, making it a great option for creating simple animations for your film's opening credits, transitions, and other visual elements.However, Drawtify is less appropriate for more complex and advanced graphic design tasks. It's not a professional graphic design software like
Adobe Illustrator , it doesn't have all the features that a professional graphic designer would need. For example, if you're looking to create a detailed illustration or a complex logo, Drawtify might not have the advanced tools you need.Another scenario where Drawtify might not be the best choice is if you're working with a team of designers and need a more robust collaboration feature. Drawtify's collaboration feature is good, but it's not as advanced as some other design software.Overall, Drawtify is a great tool for beginners and those who are looking for an easy-to-use design software. It is well-suited for basic design tasks like creating title cards, lower thirds, posters, flyers, and simple animations. However, it's not the best option for more advanced tasks or for team collaborations.

Great design elements bring a wow factor to digital content. Single design tool for all types of content design. Read full review It has a stock of amazing business graphics. You can use Drawtify quickly and with ease Provides a plethora of professional design features Read full review Cons Adobe Creative Cloud Express's video possibilities could be improved - I'd really like to see more options for animating text. Animoto is a great example of this. But the video is already improving, so perhaps these options are coming! Sometimes images don't download properly from the web app and I have to download using the phone app and then transfer to my desktop for scheduling. It would be cool if there was an approve / feedback option, so you could request feedback from a team member without having to share a link and send a separate email. Read full review high end graphics sometimes hampers the speed lag is occasionally seen while performing projects watermarks are kind of bothering expensive for early startups Read full review Usability The overall usability of the software was strong. The application, especially relative to other Adobe services like Photoshop that can demand a lot of knowledge and skill, was highly easy to use. At the same time, that also speaks to the somewhat limited amount of customization opportunities that allow content designers to truly create content that is dynamic, engaging, and different than the standard stuff that floods our vision every day.

I have never actually used adobe support short of their website, but I go to youtube a lot to get my questions answered. You can google any problem you have and not have any issues finding an answer. In my opinion, community support is much more meaningful and helpful than support directly from the company
Read full review Alternatives Considered I used
Canva for a long time, but since we already had the Adobe Creative Suite and Adobe Creative Cloud Express was included, I went ahead and started using Adobe Creative Cloud Express, as it was more cost-effective. Unfortunately, Adobe Creative Cloud Express doesn't offer any content calendar and scheduling, so it was a difficult choice.
Read full review Drawtify is a very easy tool in comparison to Adobe Suite. While
Canva is easy but I don't like it due to redundant templates. Like if you have created something with
Canva , everyone know that this has been created in
Canva . Whilst the Drawtify templates are quite new. Also the motion graphics is a plus over all other platforms.
Read full review Contract Terms and Pricing Model Adobe Creative Cloud Express is included with an Adobe Creative Cloud account. Our company has a corporate team membership so it is nice to have a professional and powerful tool that anyone on our team can use for free. The pricing structure of giving the tool away for free will be fundamental to users utilizing the tool. Similar tools, such as Canva, cost significantly more but do not offer the same features
Read full review Professional Services The professional services for Adobe Creative Cloud Express is top notch and should be highly commended. I am thoroughly impressed with how far Adobe has come. In the past, I had several issues with how something were handled, but in the past few years things have been better than ever and they get no complaints from me
