Well, again, I think Adobe Express is a smaller version of the software stuff from the Creative Cloud. We have Illustrator, Photoshop, and in Design, which are full applications, and Adobe Express being a smaller platform gives us a lot of ability to create things fast and just to create, especially towards our video and our animation, easier than doing it in the whole program.

Genially
Genially is well suited for important presentations and when you want the reader to interact with the document you are creating. The smart blocks are also very useful and well thought out. Genially is not your best tool if you need to put something together fast or if you need to customize a lot because editing could be time-consuming.

Cons
Adobe
  • Canva has a better interface, in my opinion... I like that this one is friendly to Adobe users, but I would likely recommend Canva to someone who's never used design software for a complete beginner.
  • Removing the background from images doesn't always work well. I almost always need to switch to Photoshop for this.
  • The touch screen interface could be better; graphics on mobile apps are tough in general but specifically, the iPad interface could use some improvement.

  • It would be nice to be able to save images and have them available on Genially.
  • More free templates.
  • Figure out a way to make editing less time consuming.

Usability
Adobe
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.

Adobe
Because adobe is so widespread the community support is amazing. 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

I started on Adobe Spark / Adobe Express before ever trying Figma nad Canva. I tried them after being told how great the were by colleagues and honestly felt like they were cheesy and less adult. The final product didn't feel as polished and the user experience was lackluster. I will never stray from Adobe again.

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
