Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Express

I use it in the classroom mostly. It is a good building block for students. When students do not have access to our other Adobe products on the school computers, Adobe Express is a great way for them to be able to design while at home to keep getting practice. I also use it for quick designs like flyers.

Pros

  • Templates
  • Design Elements
  • Ease of basic functionality

Cons

  • I was having trouble pasting text, at least on mobile.
  • I feel sometimes the menus close out prematurely. Like when I go to the art board and my options go away.
  • Assistance can be a bit jumpy. I was trying to place an image in but it kept taking place of another.
  • Positive: Free to students
  • Positive: element choices
  • Negative: have to rely on wifi
It's good but I feel there could be more
Like I mentioned before it can be jumpy. Some people and students can get frustrated. It would be cool to have setting to be more manual mode or assisted mode. I also think the menus need improvement.
It's great for quick work, or don't want to give something too much attention. Also good for when I have a design block.
I think Canva's interface is a little more friendly for beginners and has a lot of different aesthetics. They also cater to educators.

Do you think Adobe Express delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Adobe Express live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Adobe Express go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Adobe Express again?

Yes

I like that it is Adobe, you get to store things in your cloud.

As an educator, there are not too many options to build out worksheets and such. Just as a comparison to Canva, I know a lot of educator use that because it is teacher friendly.
