Co-owner
5.0

Destiny G.: My name is Destiny. I'm the CEO and founder of Do Designs, a branding agency. I would give Adobe Creative Suite a five out of five. I pretty much started out using Adobe from the beginning of my career as one of the tools that I was introduced to when I was in school learning design. Over the years, I have tried other tools, including Canva, which I still use today for quick projects. But for bigger projects and particularly logos and things like that, I always use Illustrator, Adobe Creative Suite. I've also used Affinity Designer, which I like as a tool, but I guess I find Illustrator more the one-to-one comparison would be with Illustrator, and I find that to be a little bit more intuitive for me since it's the tool that I've been trained on. As a designer, the tools that I primarily use are Illustrator and Photoshop. I've continuously used Adobe Creative Suite throughout the years, because in a way it's like an industry standard for my field for one. And then two, I've not really found any other tools besides Affinity that creates as many, particularly for Illustrator, like the Vector images and things like that, I wouldn't be able to get that output from some of the other tools that I've been I using. I primarily use it because it's what I know and it's industry standard and it works. I would say to get started using this as a tool in your business, you definitely would need to take advantage of the different tutorials and things like that. It's not something I find to be so intuitive that you can just pick it up. You definitely need to tap into the resources that Adobe does actually provide, the library of videos and things like that explaining how the tools work. It's just a tool with a vast number of ways to do the same thing. I would say on a scale between one and five, in terms of ease of use, I would say it's about a three. You definitely need training to leverage this tool. I guess I would say for those who are considering using Adobe Creative Cloud, I primarily use a few of the tools within the whole Creative Cloud, but again, Illustrator and Photoshop. But I will say that it's definitely worth the investment, and it's definitely worth putting in the time to learn how to use this tool. There's so much you can do with it. It's pretty much endless possibilities. They have just a vast range of other tools within the suite that pretty much allow you to do whatever creative things you need to do in order to promote your business or execute your vision for your business. I would definitely recommend Adobe Creative Suite for other business owners who are thinking about creative tools to leverage to make their businesses better.

Career Coach
4.0

Lora: I'm Lora. I'm a career coach in the professional services industry. Today I'm going to review the Animaker video software. I give it a rating of four. The business problem that I solve using Animaker video software is that in my communications with my customers, I have to repeat the same information and it's quite a bit of detail. The best thing that I could think of was to put together a cartoon that I could use to explain all of those details and direct my new customers and clients over to see that, and Animaker's video software helped me do that. What I like most about using Animaker video software is that it was free to start, so I got a really good connection with it, understanding how I was going to use it and explain my story, and then I was able to just do a simple upgrade, very inexpensive, and got quite a few more details, a lot of actions from the different characters I was able to build and even building customized characters. Now it tells my story for me and I don't have to repeat myself. What I dislike about Animaker is that the menu system is not very user-friendly. Once you get finished with your video, you have one selection which is to download. Once it downloads, you then get an email that tells you that your video is downloaded and gives you a link. Once you click on that link, it takes you to another screen of your video and your option again is download or to share with social media. I think it would be better if the first download was compiled for download. That way we would know that we're actually not hitting our download at this point. We could still go back and make an edit before we do our final download.
