1. I love the simple UI, unlike other design tools that require some kind of training, this tool is so simple that spending even an hour on it allows you to run it like a pro. No hidden features, no complicated tools- Just a simple decent UI. 2. Another good thing is the vast variety of templates, assets, illustrations, images, videos, icons all available in one place everything is already inside. 3. The feature of adding multiple brand kits is what really amazes me. Again, it's a paid feature, but a wonderful one. For example, we have 4 clients and I can change the branding as per the client's brand, with just that you get your added logo, specific assets, fonts, colors and so much more in one place. 4. Despite being a paid tool, it is not at all expensive and them providing it for free to students is such a great initiative. During college days it was my literal savior for group projects and those last moment ppt's.
Easy to navigate and have teams navigate - intuitive in that sense.
Ease of use: The interface is intuitive, so even non-designers can quickly create high-quality creatives for campaigns, presentations, and social media. Brand consistency through Brand Kits: Centralized fonts, colors, and templates ensure all content stays aligned and real time collaboration to work on multiple designs simultaneously, making feedback loops faster. AI assisted content creation: Features like magic design and magic write helps speed up initail drafts and layout generation, making it eassier to scale content production.
Their customer service is a bit disappointing, their replies are not quick and resolutions are not up to the mark. Once I just randomly lost my whole date and customer service had no solution for the problem and I needed to send many mails and a very long follow up to get things done. Another problem is that it glitches a lot, a few features just stop showing up once and then appear by itself, this happens a lot with the especially the AI voice tool, it just disappears and appears as per the tool choice. Lastly, since the data deletion issue I do have doubts about their data safety and am not sure about my data security.
Too many templates, allows you to begin too many products by ipening excessive windows and then you need to go back and collapse them, hoping you remember which one you used.
Limited video editing capabilities: the video editor works well for basic use, but it lacks depth in terms of layering, timeline control and precision editing. For more detailed or high-production videos, it can feel restrictive. Performance with heavy files: Larger designs or projects with multiple layers and elements can sometimes lag, especially hen working collaboratively. Cloud dependency and downtime risk: Since it's fully cloud based, any server issues or connectivity problem can temporarily block access, which can disrupt workflows during time-sensitive campaigns. Lack of design differentiation: Due to widespread usage and templates accessibility, designs can sometimes start to look similar across brands unless additional effort is put into customization.
