We search on Adobe Stock for any time a stock photo or illustration is needed. The price is great with the subscription and with the credits rolling over so you don't miss out. We use it in websites, packaging, marketing materials, and more. I'm really enjoying the variety and the modern and creative images they offer.

Adobe Stock is well suited for calendars, training materials, marketing materials (with correct permissions paid/credit given). It's a convenient and affordable way to look professional without creating/funding the content yourself. The filtering and search functions make it so simple to use. The licensing options are very clear and easy to understand. We never seem to be lacking options with Adobe Stock.

It is great to work on digital advertising and find footage and images without having to shoot them yourself or hire a photographer ad hoc. Sometimes it is a bit hard to find the perfect image but as long as you are creative with the words you look for, try different combinations and spend some time, you'll get a good image to illustrate your work.

If price is not a big deal, then Adobe Stock has an attractive collection of diverse images. They also have an easy-to-use website and dashboard. It would be better if they offered an integrated photo editor and convertor for the images. The option to download a preview before buying a license is helpful to see the fine details of the pictures. The competition for companies providing images is intense. So there are a lot of choices.

Adobe Stock is a good alternative to Getty. Although I sometimes find their stock imagery options to be limited, I do appreciate how well purchases can be integrated into CC libraries. As a designer, it is helpful to use Adobe Stock for pulling vectors and imagery to enhance or inspire my work.

It's a great software for images to use as headers. The backgrounds on websites are also great. A particular issue for me however is the way that you cannot uncheck a box, it makes you clear them all which is very irritating. This makes you have to reselect all again which I do not like.

Adobe Stock is fantastic for internal promotional campaigns where you need a certain image but your internal company library of images is lacking. It's also great for use on internal websites (intranet) for banners and other illustrative imagery. It would be less appropriate for large-scale, public-facing marketing campaigns depending on company policy.

If you're looking for quality professional images for sales and marketing collateral, presentations, social media pages, and graphics, it's great. If you have a very specific industry or subject, sometimes it is too cumbersome to find what you need. They need a better variety of people in their images as well.

Any time you are doing a project where you don't have the time to create your own backgrounds or are unable to get talent for a photoshoot, Adobe Stock is the best way to handle those rough deadlines. Even some of the simple stock images or videos can make a difference from trying to do it all on your own.

Adobe Stock has the best collaboration towards all features required for workflow within all businesses and it's easy to create big data analytics and helps in managing team schedules. It's easy on marketing automation integration than other features in the field. Has the best and easy-to-track tools in other features.

If you're a website or social brand that needs reliable and high-quality photography of general things such as air purifiers, mops, blankets, life jackets, etc. then Adobe Stock is the right fit for you. If you're looking for a specific brand or product to feature, you might have to pay extra for their premium content or look for the photos somewhere else.

Adobe Stock is perfect for any situation where you need more general photos, graphics, or specific items/locations that are common. Family imagery, outdoor photos, popular tourist locations, and fairly iconography for vectors like web icons. It's less useful if you need imagery of something more obscure, like a landmark in a less populated country or any sort of uniformed profession represented accurately.

We've had good luck finding appropriate images in the healthcare industry. It can be a challenge to find the right images that accurately depict healthcare scenarios and also include diverse people and situations. Adobe Stock has a large collection of images that, so far, have suited our needs well. We have found images that aren’t completely accurate (nurse giving a vaccine without wearing gloves, for example), but that seems to be the case for most stock sites.

Adobe Stock speeds up the production of online, offline (print), video, and static marketing materials (photo). We can download vector graphics, textures, backgrounds, patterns, photos, and videos for a small fee. Our imaginations are as limitless as the possibilities we can think up. The content quality and the search engine's accuracy are generally excellent. All Adobe Stock images are unique and rarely used. Its search feature is also great for quickly finding images.

Well suited for background images and graphics where you want to channel an idea or theme that is known to the general population, e.g., a football field for a social media post related to a company fantasy league or a child holding crayons to promote a donation drive for local schools in need. Where it is less appropriate are images involving people and it's not necessarily Adobe's fault but it's very hard when you consider "your people" unique and want to reflect them in a way that feels genuine when you're creating graphics to represent your company. Many of the best shot set-ups and styles for pictures involving people that Adobe creates have people in them who just don't look like "our people."

Adobe Stock is well suited and appropriate for the below-listed scenarios: 1. Brands/businesses looking for a royalty-free stock image solution with a subscription-based model instead of a pay-per-image model. 2. Brands/businesses looking to get access to some of the great and exclusive videos available for licensing on Adobe Stock; similar videos can not be found on any other platform. 3. Anyone looking for the various other offerings of Adobe Stock like graphics, illustrations, vector art, music, templates, fonts, etc.

It is very suitable in scenarios in which any type of company needs to generate an advertising and marketing campaign that attracts more customers, it is also quite suitable in scenarios in which a company that is just beginning to operate can use images, videos, illustrations, etc. to advertise in a more economical way, in a less suitable scenario we have advertising companies that use Adobe Stock deceiving their customers with high prices

Adobe Stock works really well when there is a specific image that is needed. Adobe Stock has the ability to grab and modify at a high quality and in numerous forms. It also has the ability to handle videos that use large amounts of data and works seamlessly to produce good quality.

Adobe Stock works great when looking for a generic image that is easy to optimize. This is a great program for those with little graphic design experience. For those looking for more custom images, they may need some design experience in order to change the photos to suit the specific needs of your company.

Adobe Stock will work for most people or businesses that need photos and graphics/resources to pull from. They have pretty good lifestyle photos for everything you could possibly need, as well as backgrounds that can be easily converted to advertisements or holiday promotions. Overall a really solid, budget-friendly resource for people in marketing or design.

If you are in need of photos of public figures (as we often are considering we publish a large number of historical and political books), then Adobe Stock is a complete mismatch. You will not find photos of world leaders, historic events, or current newsmakers. However, from a strictly creative standpoint, they provide an excellent variety of good building blocks to create visuals for comped scenes that are created from ideas.

Our company was creating collage-style gifs and graphics for an app, which required a LOT of stock footage. Adobe was perfectly suited for our business needs because we had access to their customer service. It meant that we had someone we could talk to consistently when checking what licenses we needed during purchasing. However, there was a fair bit of back and forth because the website info wasn't as digestible as it could have been. Adobe Stock also has a tendency to be the more expensive option on the market, but in return, you get some great pieces of content.
