Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Stock

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Adobe Stock for interesting and thematic images for our training materials. It looks like our content was made custom for our workbooks - even though it wasn't. It gives us a more professional look, but there are options outside of the typical, "stock-y" and "corporate" images all of our competitors use. We also use Adobe Stock for our calendars we gift to clients and employees each year. It's a highly anticipated calendar as we change the theme each year - and are never lacking in inspiration or options.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Robust image filtering & matching
Keyword searches are very helpful/accurate
Full size previews available for download so you can check quality before buying

Cons

Saved Library folders could be easier to navigate - lots of wait time and reloading for no reason, etc. before being able to select what you actually want to open

Most Important Features

Robust filtering options
Large variety of images/themes
Specific searches always yield accurate results

Return on Investment

In such a competitive healthcare space - we are able to use Adobe Stock to stand out from other organizations instead of blending in. It's very easy to look identical from the competition - but with Adobe Stock it's also very easy to be intentional about our brand image and look professional and unique

Alternatives Considered

The quality and number of images available make Adobe Stock stand out from other options. It's clear artists and creatives trust Adobe Stock with their portfolio - which is apparent in the variety of results provided from a search. The filtering options are more robust than other content companies we have used in the past (Vecteezy, Creative Market)
