Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Adobe Stock helps you find images of high quality at a price. The images are good because of their high resolution, massive variety, and strict standards. They are free of common defects like poor lighting. We want to use the images for making digital and paper flyers. Search is good, and it is easy to see your history in case you need to download your pictures again. The files are large in size which takes care of the blurry pictures found in low-resolution images. The selection of images is ideal for big events where you want to attract a lot of attention. There are many images available on Google search, but Adobe Stock filters out the common and boring images which are unique to their platform.

Pros

  • Search
  • Easy to redownload previous images
  • Wide selection of images

Cons

  • Price
  • More Free pictures

Most Important Features

  • Variety
  • Quality
  • Search

Return on Investment

  • It is expensive once you have used your 10 free downloads per month.
  • Impressive number of images can help you find the right one.
  • Clients usually give positive comments about the images.

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

  • Large Library
  • Ease of Use

Cons

  • Some scream "stock photo"
  • specifications for what photo you want

Return on Investment

  • Positive Design Feedback
  • Lacks Specification

As an animation company we do alot of projects including video where we need to find the right video with right quality so we use Adobe Stock, it is easy to use with a large library of high quality premium stock videos and vector files. we usually get vector files and video for our work, it helps us to get the creative needs fulfilled without spending a lot of time recording or animating in our studio.

Pros

  • its vector files library helps us to create social media post infographics and animations.
  • its video library helps us to deliver great quality presentations and video to our clients.
  • the library of Adobe Stock is far better than any of its competitor and its really easy to use. we get the exact same amount of features we usually need so its a good solution.

Cons

  • the user interface of Adobe Stock library is very basic than its competitor but it is fairly simple to use than others.
  • sometimes when we want to get see the other items for specific users it is bit difficult than other stock websites.
  • the template library need a bit improvements but it is finest one, because you dont need a lot of files floating around you just need the finest and it has but still we need more finest. so that was the gap for me.

Return on Investment

  • in early stages of our business we usually have to self create everything but after choosing Adobe Stock our work was easier creativity is improved.
  • now we don't have to worry about real stock footage with Adobe Stock we have a rich quality library of creative assets.
