Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Stock

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Adobe Stock is great if you need a basic, but polished-looking stock photo. Some options are a bit too "stock photo" (as in they're a bit obvious), but the library is lare so if you're specific and spend some time searching you'll likely find what you're needing. Easy to use!

Pros and Cons

Usability

Adobe Stock is very easy to use and seamlessly integrates with any Adobe suite products and design tools. We do find that some of the photos are a bit too general or 'stock' looking, but the more specific we can get with our prompt or search, the better our results - just takes a bit of fine tuning.

Alternatives Considered

iStock, from Getty Images, Canva and Pixabay

I think across the board, Adobe Stock is in line with all of these. It does seem to have better (and more) options than tools like Pixabay, but there are instances where we find something niche and specific on Pixabay that we did not find on Adobe Stock. I think Getty and Canva are most similar in terms of library size and specificity needed for positive search result yield.

Likelihood to Recommend

When we need a high-resolution, quality photo Adobe Stock is a great option. When we want something more customized to products, team or people, or really specific scenarios or visuals - Adobe Stock is a bit more challenging to use. Sometimes it's time-intensive to find what we need, but overall it's a good tool to have in our toolbox and at the team's disposal.
