    It is the only tool that I use to create logos. It gives me the flexibility to create sharp text and marks and they can then be resized at will, color changes in a second and perfect way to export. I know that some people use Illustrator for document layout, it is not ideal. While I can easily create documents here, it really is InDesign that is the perfect tool.

    When you start a strategy and want to discover how the audiense is composed, this is the first step to start exploring and then create your buyer personas with more details from other auxiliary tools (social listening, market research). Audiense is the best way to start exploring. It works better when you are dealing with big social media accounts when you want to explore audiences from a specific country or very specific interests. It’s good to import information from listening tools like Brandwatch to get better results about your audience.

    For creative and captivating presentation slides where you are pitching your ideas to the team, for quick and well-presented pamphlets for the event board, irrespective of university or workplace. I would definitely recommend using existing templates from VistaCreate instead of AI-generated images that are messy and crowded, so you connect with the audience better, and also, of course, people will take it seriously as well..

    Cons
    Adobe
    • It's tough to master. If you haven't used Adobe products like Photoshop or Illustrator before, there is a lot to take in.
    • It would be great to have some better options to preview the final product if you're creating a multiple page document.
    • Better integration and pricing points with Adobe Stock for the useful stock images to complete your projects.

    • For the USA, if Audiense.com is able to pull in the FULL spectrum of Acxiom data, then we have a truly splendid solution.
    • For the world, if Audiense.com is able to enrich an audience with PIPL, Apollo.io, and Full Contact API data, then we have the next iteration of this already amazing solution
    • As Audiense.com refines its SEMRush partnership, we will see advanced SEO unlink anything seen in past decades.
    • If Audiense.com were to integrate the full capabilities of Relationship Science ( relsci.com ), then we would, as salespeople, have the next iteration of the solution as a sales power tool.

    While Adobe Illustrator CC is one of the only true design software out there, it really stands heads above the other products. It's clean UI and menu structure is easy to navigate.

    I have been using it for a few years now and I still think it's a pretty competitive tool, although a lot of new interesting tools are coming on the market and I am always on the lookout for new solutions. If it keeps innovating, however, Audiense could stay relevant for some time to come

    There's a bit of a learning curve to this software vs other similar tools that can take some time to learn and get familiar with but the amount of functionality that Adobe Illustrator CC offers is quite large compared to simpler tools.

    It's a fantastic tool, be it the free or paid version. You can choose different templates from many listed categories and change styles with palettes, add music to your images, and choose from a variety of fonts. All these features are for free users. You unlock gold if you have a paid version of VistaCreate. Some additional useful features like background remover, AI writer, object remover, resize, and many varieties of templates are only for premium users. I give 9 because additional premium useful features are not available for free users

    I normally already know how to do whatever I'm trying out, but the documentation (as well as a simple Google search) makes any question quick to resolve. The Adobe boards themselves are a fantastic resource, especially for resolving questions between new programs and iterative releases.

    I chose Rhinoceros 3D because it is accurate to make drawings in it and it is better to make drawings in Rhinoceros 3D and then put them in Adobe Illustrator. But while printing or scaling it is much easier to put it in Adobe Illustrator. This makes the whole printing aspect of it much easier.

    I have used a few audience insight tools but I find Audiense has a large mix of data within one platform. For instance, IBM Watson, Demos, Social Listening, Hashtags. It is great to have a lot of insights about an audience in one place to have a holistic understanding.

    I like to give a chance to other products and try them out. As far as my experience is concerned, I liked the feature of VistaCreate, with palettes, which totally changes the mood and tone of the image. That's something I didn't find in Canva. Additionally, the simplicity and user-friendliness of VistaCreate instead of being crowded with too many features. It's simply the best.

    • Definitely increased the value of my social intelligence data. Now I'm able to really understand who my audience is and this helps my clients think about them as real people instead of an anonymous group.
    • Time saved, being able to click a button and then have my audience generated within a couple of hours without me having to do anything else is invaluable.
