Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Express

We use Adobe Express for social media graphics. We have a comms team who are non-designers who produce branded graphics for social media use. The design team creates Adobe Express templates for the comms team to quickly produce graphics for webinars, events, promos, product updates and etc while staying on brand.

Pros

  • Staying on brand
  • Create templates
  • Auto layout in different aspect ratios
  • Access to Adobe Creative Cloud Library

Cons

  • Best practices in file organization and data management
  • Somewhat confusing user experience
  • Lack of grids and guidelines like other Adobe products
  • More efficient in graphics production for marketing
  • Ease of use for non-designers
  • Gives designer control for template creation
My team and I don't use the templates provided in the platform, but maybe a few stock photos. We have specially made templates that are branded and created by the design team. It will be great if those options are hid for easier use for the non-designers.
Overall the it's easier to maintain the brand with the use of Brands, Adobe Creative Library and templates. It's easy to set up the files whether you're a designer or non-designer. And it's easy to use the Review feature for feedback and approval. It makes the creative workflow smooth.
Last time I checked, the resizing/auto layout feature wasn't the best. When we changed aspect ratios from portrait to landscape, some of the components aren't laid out well and takes additional manual work to apply. We haven't experimented with effects though and we are currently looking into it.
Adobe Express is a simpler version of the Adobe suite, but more understandable and approachable. Definitely recommend to nondesigners.

Would you buy Adobe Express again?

Well suited to use as an alternative to Canva since it's more popular and widely used. It integrates well with the Adobe CC suite and libraries though making it easier for creative workflow with a design team. Though I've heard Canva is still "better" to use; not sure if it's because of the AI functionality.
