Adobe Express vs. VistaCreate

I find that if you're mostly working with non-designers,Adobe Express is a fantastic use case for them. If you're working with designers, it's great for quick, easy tasks, but nothing particularly in depth. It's not the best for social media videos, it lacks a bit of the functionality that CapCut or InShot has, but overall it's fairly good for getting the assets to add to a video, but not being the final export.

VistaCreate is well suited for creating engaging content for users of all age groups. There are beautiful, modern templates and a variety of shapes and animations to choose from. Most importantly, the cost is inexpensive, and you get that bang for your buck. An attractive feature is the ability to upload music, or choose from the library, to add to your content piece. It's quite clever, as this allows the reader to engage in more than one sense e.g., animated content versus static text. The reader hears music, and the content is animated and visually appealing. This allows keywords to be highlighted. The probability of communicating your message in this manner is increased.

• Brand Kit: provides quick access to approved fonts, logos, colors, and other assets
• Libraries: syncs will with other Adobe Tools
• Animation: provides a decent collection of modifiable motions for objects in the design
• Social Media-ready Layouts: being able to design graphics of multiple sizes/Layouts within the same document is a GOD-SEND

• It could have a search bar which searches through other Adobe products (esp for Stock images, videos, audio) from within Adobe Express.
• It could make it so switching between Adobe products from within Adobe Express almost like a tab function is smooth.
• It could partner with other companies to allow for company specific events in exchange for valuable products or programs.

• Difficult to design content on mobile phone
• Mobile designs do not sync with desktop app

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

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.

In my opinion, Adobe Express blows it away. Canva is great and all and gets the job done. But it lacks the additional value offered by Adobe Express and Adobe. Canva's stock asset library doesn't come close to Adobe's stock asset library, and the Creative Cloud makes using other products with Adobe Express seamless. Adobe Express all the way!

In my view, VistaCreate is easier to navigate and design content. The templates are fun and appealing. The availability of Shutterstock photos is endless. The version history is saved so that work is not lost. There is a brand feature that automatically selects color themes to support branding. It is easy to export content to your desired file type.

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
