Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Express

I primarily use Adobe Express for quick content creation. I do a lot of social media advertising, and the time it takes to prep a template in Express is way faster than in other programs. I also love the scheduling tool integrations that are included with Premium, as they make prepping and posting my content way easier. The scope of my use case is mostly for B2B sales, and small business owners, so I mainly use it for smaller projects.

Pros

  • Template Creation
  • Brand Cohesiveness
  • Scheduling tool
  • Google Drive add ons

Cons

  • User interface
  • Social Media video assets
  • Template variety
  • Time on construction of templates is faster
  • Easier to send to other users to collaborate
  • Ease of creation and story boarding
  • Increase in total brand coherency
I think the templates could be improved. They seem very Adobe created, rather than community created sometimes. Canva does a bit better job on diversity of styles, from modern, to whimsical, to punk. I think adding in more video specific templates would be a huge selling point for Adobe Express, especially with the competition with CapCut and Canva.
It's super easy to use! I think Canva is a little easier with it's UI/UX, but overall, for non-designers, Adobe Express does a great job at being very accessible to use. I like how it has the left hand task bar where you can instantly go to your brand kit and your scheduling tools. That's a huge selling point for me and the organization I'm running.
It does a great job at making things easy to convert, and to make things quickly. However, like I said previously, the amount of diversity in the templates can be a negative and can make the time to production take longer than anticipated.
I think Adobe Express is a bit behind Canva, but as an Adobe Community Expert, I try to provide as much feedback as I can to help improve Adobe Express. ADobe Express does a better job than InShot and a few other apps, but isn't quite there against Canva, I'm sorry to say!

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

Yes

Are you happy with Adobe Express's feature set?

No

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 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.
