    It works amazing for the creation of attention grabbing, clean, and professional looking flyers or infographics. Especially when you need to create a few graphic organizers, like a workflow, or a reference sheet for new members, it is awesome. I have created a few in one day, and honestly, even though you can utilize AI tools to do so, I love that I get to choose what the end product looks like during the process, and it's still easy and fast. It falls short with multi-page brochures, and while illustrator can take on branding quite well, it needs to be pre-made and imported to work in Express.

    In my experience, I have used PicsArt in lots of projects which helped me to complete the projects on time with satisfactory results. Mostly I use the Android app which is super easy to use. I have created multiple templates for my business. But I think it should remove the watermark on video editing also in the free version. It helped us to create unique pre-designed templates with step by step process. Apart from that, I have never faced any issues with this tool.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • Scheduling posts. OMG, it is one place on the web and app for me to schedule upcoming posts.
    • Posting to several platforms at one time. From FB, to IG, to TikTok, and LinkedIn. It's a great assistant to have by your side every day.
    • Editing on the go with the app on my phone, capturing and editing content in real time.

    • Basic Photo Editing - more robust than your basic iPhone photo editing tools, but much simpler (yet still powerful) and user-friendly than Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
    • Filters - a large variety of simple and complex photo filters with the ability to adjust the strength. A nice blend of filters can really enhance a photo without making it look heavily filtered.
    • User friendly - all across the board, this app is super easy to use and really powerful too. I can't imagine editing a photo on my phone without it.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • The only improvement that I wish that Adobe Express could make would be to increase the number of video and audio tracks their Video application could have. Even adding one extra track for both would totally increase the overall professional output of the video, while allowing for a more engaging and memorable product.

    • There are a lot of features available to only paying subscribers, but all those features still appear for the nonpaying user, marked by the crown icon. Particularly with filters and stickers, it can be annoying to scroll through the majority of locked options to find the handful that is free. A filter option would be nice.
    • It would be nice to have access to previous projects where you could still go back and undo edits you've made. The draft feature seems to only be good for one project at a time.
    • Layers would be nice. That way when you use a sticker or add a photo on top and go on to make more edits, you could still move them around instead of just having to undo everything and re-add the stick or additional photo.

    I foresee Adobe Express becoming the "go-to" platform for everyone except professional, high-level designers. It is a relatively easy-to-use tool that allows users to create a wide variety of visuals quickly. Because it is a template-driven tool, the in-house design team has the ability to make brand kit available to keep visuals on point

    Usability
    Adobe
    The user interface is pretty straightforward to use. It has easy to navigate navigations, and the canvas UX is also pretty good. One thing i would like to add it to use shortcuts to add elements on canvas. Like if I am on canvas and I press 'T' on my keyboard the text box should be added automatically

    Overall, the Adobe Creative Cloud Express is worth a try and may be a good fit for many organizations and businesses. At a monthly rate, the cost is not prohibitive, but the tools are somewhat limited and not necessarily worthwhile when compared to standard applications and software that are often available free or through a package of services commonly found on workplace computers.

    I think Adobe Express is a bit behind Canva, but as an Adobe Community Expert, I try to provide as much feedback as I can to help improve Adobe Express. ADobe Express does a better job than InShot and a few other apps, but isn't quite there against Canva, I'm sorry to say!

    I used Lucidchart to develop architect-level integration flow diagrams to visualise integration flow. But Picsart has a user-friendly UI to develop and edit HQ pictures as per business requirements but some options are an enterprise where we need to pay and purchase those features and filters to use them while editing images.

    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

    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

    • Positive: Time and working for a nonprofit with minimal staff this is essential.
    • Negative: There are certain features that I need to find in other Adobe products like layer masking.
    • Positive: It makes content creation less intimidating for our newer staff.

    • It has a positive impact of decreasing time taken to create graphics for presentations
    • It has a positive impact of decreasing time taken to create annotated videos with text and sound
    • It lacks advanced editing features, hence has a somewhat negative impact by not facilitating imagination of users
