Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Spark

I'm not sure whether Adobe Creative Cloud Express is used across the organization, but we use it within the marketing department of our faculty. It helps us create our own templates that we can share between users so we can keep our branding consistent across many social media accounts. It's easy to share our concepts with teammates and get feedback so we can further develop ideas.
  • The user interface is really simple and straight forward.
  • The product is being continually updated and seems to be responsive to users "wish list" items.
  • It's super easy to create a brand, so you're always using the right fonts and colours.
  • Adobe Creative Cloud Express's video possibilities could be improved - I'd really like to see more options for animating text. Animoto is a great example of this. But the video is already improving, so perhaps these options are coming!
  • Sometimes images don't download properly from the web app and I have to download using the phone app and then transfer to my desktop for scheduling.
  • It would be cool if there was an approve / feedback option, so you could request feedback from a team member without having to share a link and send a separate email.
  • Easy, simple, quick - new team members can get up to speed quickly and without needing to learn all the ins and outs of Photoshop or Illustrator.
  • It's easy to keep image creators on-brand, with logos, fonts, and colours.
  • The templates are so easy to use! I do wish you could edit a template you created though, rather than creating something from the template, editing, and then saving that as a new template and deleting the old template.
  • This saves hours of work by simplifying image creation and standardizing templates and brand assets.
Adobe Creative Cloud Express was chosen for us by somebody else in the organization, but I still really like it. Though I do like Canva, I'm so used to Adobe Creative Cloud Express now I'd never go back. We used to use Animoto (free version) and I do miss some of the functionality there - it was really easy to feature a person (student/grad/faculty member) with only a couple images and a few short paragraphs. I wish Adobe Creative Cloud Express had a similar functionality.

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Adobe Express again?

I love Adobe Creative Cloud Express for almost all my image creation needs. When I want to do really detailed work, I still use Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. I wish Adobe Creative Cloud Express had a better slideshow-type video option, with animated text (like Animoto). I've created workarounds where I create animated images in Adobe Creative Cloud Express Post and then added them to a Creative Cloud Express Video, but that's a bit of a pain.
