It's a perfect product when it comes to converting the existing artifacts and return materials into interesting videos for a marketing campaign where a budget-friendly approach can be taken instead of creating everything from scratch it is less effective if I expectation video is expected where graphics and all are of top-level and custom requirement in terms of editing is very high full stop it is good for purpose where time is less and video content is needed from marketing and sale purpose or any other engagement.

Venngage works really well for basically creating any type of standard infographic that you can see when you browse the templates. We have used it successfully to communicate retention data, strategic plan information, workflows and more. It doesn't work as well though when you try to get too fancy with it. Meaning, you want a Word Cloud taking on a specific shape or reusing certain words a specific number of times. For those things, we found that it was best to use another application and then import the work as a graphic.

  • They have an AI generator, but it can only generate the design once. Any modifications should be manually done. It would be great if the AI could make specific changes instead of having it regenerate everything.
  • You can't use it on a mobile phone or tablet, it would be helpful if I could use it on my tablet for work done outside my office.
  • It would be great if I could delete multiple designs at once. Currently, I can only delete them one by one.

I use Venngage for a new project 1-2 times per week... I could not see using another program at this point.

I find it very user friendly, straight to the point, and the minor issues I found wasn't really impacting on my role. So I think it would depend? but personally I find it perfect for me. There were lots of templates I could use, and they were very open to feedback and customer service was very accommodating.

So much easier to use - AI automatically selects the text and creates videos that don't take hours to make

Canva had a lot of features, which is great, but I got overwhelmed and I didn't know where to start. Adobe PhotoShop is great too, but I think it's better for more experienced editors/designers? I'm not an editor, I don't know a lot of stuff with editing, so it was difficult. I rely on my common sense mostly.

  • It was frustrating to be required to purchase a full month, not be able to download into PowerPoint and edit, and not be given a refund.
