Venngage

Pros

This has been my top choice for making infographics - as someone who works with many healthcare companies, displaying data in a creative way is vital. Venngage is a top tool we’ve used for internal flyers, magazines, board reports, websites and social media.

Cons

Honestly I cannot think of a single con for Venngage. It’s pricing is even affordable! I haven’t dealt with their customer service a lot, so that could be a potential issues.

Pros

It has a lot of features and templates. The Content Marketing and Ideas and Support are absolutely first class. We get many of our ideas from them

Cons

The UI has a couple of non-conventional things that take a bit of time to get used to but works v ery well

Pros

It's a wonderful idea but unfortunately executed horribly.

Cons

Even with my background as a designer and programmer, I found it to be clunky, nonintuitive and difficult to use. No phone support available and wasted hours upon hours trying to get help for a simple task. Oh, and beware if you ever want to try to close your account? Watch out, they don't make it easy. Steer clear.

Pros

Ease of use
Professional tools & User interface
A lot of more features than any other tool i used
A number of elements of this tool are kept open for use for free users. Helped me the most. For that reason, i will buy the paid plans soons from this brand only when i am capable.

Cons

No option to download in free plan even at a low resolution.
Paid plans if were a bit cheap would make more people buy them.

Pros

Venngage has a significant amount of templates to choose from. It's easy to use and customize based on my company's brand standards. I was able to create infographics that I was very proud of.

Cons

I have nothing negative to report about using Venngage. The company exceeded my expectations and I became better with each design that I adapted.

Pros

Venngage has a great selection of templates, and it's very simple to customize the graphics to suit your business. It is also much easier to create graphs with this software compared to other programs I have tried in the past.

Cons

Working with layers can be tricky, and the font choices are limited, but overall I have no complaints!

Pros

It has taken my presentations to a whole new level and allows me to be both creative and impressive with my Presentations. I still need to use Venngage a bit more because I do use some other similar products for my work. Venngage is yet to convince me to adopt it for 'sole use'I may be updating my review in a few months.

Cons

Very few Images of people of color. MAJOR drawback for me. No animation for Presentations, Another MAJOR drawback for me. These 2 are deal breakers and are likely to make me stop using Venngage.

Pros

Venngage is very easy to use. Its search functionality is excellent. It also has an impressive array of design options, icons, graphics etc. A particularly useful feature is the ability to import your own graphics or pictures.

Cons

Based on my requirements, I do not need all of the features offered via the paid packages. Consequently, I only use the most basic package, the one for which no subscription is required. It is therefore a disadvantage to have to purchase a subscription in order to download designs.

Pros

This is a great product for putting together infographics in an easy, yet customizable way. Tons of functionality to make infographics not seem cookie-cutter.

Cons

Great platform, but the student option is a lot more limited than the next tier up.

Pros

The software its a very user-friendly, offers many templates and pre made designs that have helped me a lot to create infographics, flyers and designs for personal use. The interface is very simple and easy to use from the beginning, also the customer support is great, the response is fast and detailed

Cons

There is no download option from the free plan, the payment plans are a bit expensive, although I think it's worth it

Pros

The templates are amazing. They really help to spark creativity and are easy to adjust to my particular needs. And since they are constantly adding new templates, I can always find something that works well for my project. I also love the icon library. They are so many icons to choose from and 99.9% of the time I can find exactly what I need without looking at other stock image websites. Lastly, the learning curve is not very long. I feel that I became proficient at using Venngage in a relatively short period of time and the results have been that my work looks more polished, more professional in a shorter period of time.

Cons

I wish there were more alignment options. There is a snap to guide but I don't always find that as user friendly especially when I have multiple items on the graphic. I'd like to be able to select two or more items and then click "align to left" or "align to center." Also, it would be great to have a distribute horizontally and a distribute vertically option. This will allow me to ensure even spacing between objects.

Pros

I like that you can find templates for almost all the things you like and need. You can use them as they are, just changing the text, or you can modify them as you like. I had a Premium account, therefore I benefited from all of their specifications.
I mostly enjoyed the Interactive PDF as it comes very in handy when you need to present some information and send it to your clients.
I also liked that they have a vast number of icons, photos and other that help you instantly :). You have everything you need just a click away and that save you a lot of time.
Some other great things that I only tried, didn't make use of them, was the Interactive part, where you can create polls, forms, tables. Aaand the chart part which is...more than great! It is so easy to create a nice visualization of your data and the "wow-ness" that you get after presenting it is amazing :)

Cons

I did encounter some bugs along the way, regarding text, resizing and placement, but the Customer Service was really helpful and now, I did they got rid of all the bugs, as they had some upgrades and modifications. I have to mention I had the Premium Account, therefore I had priority.

Pros

This software is easy to use, modify, and create unique designs. It has multiple export formats as well, which I appreciate. The colors are bright but not obnoxious. There is a great variety of imagery to choose from and from lots of different industries. I really like that I can use Venngage to create an image as detailed as I like, and simply export as a PDF for someone else to insert in their documents or use as they like. I've had a great deal of success using the charts feature, particularly in learning applications.

Cons

I do not like how some features of this program become tricky to modify, particularly the word maps. When you don't have actual counts of words to create a word map, you have to kind of guess how many times it would appear and adjust the number multiple times to make the image appear as you wish.

Pros

I use the free version of Venngage, and even in a business setting, it lets me create detailed diagrams that satisfy the sales team. Each week I have to make a note of which clients responded to our messages, and I decided that an easy way to depict this would be through an infographic. To that end, Venngage is great—it lets you piece information, images, and text together in an appealing way. Bright colors, readable fonts, and a plethora of available graphics and graph types are a welcome addition to any infographic I make, and Venngage has them all.

Cons

Obviously you're going to have more template options if you pay more money, but most of the free templates are a bit too cartoony for my taste.

Pros

It's so easy to use, and the live chat people are so helpful. I love the versatility as you can upload your own pictures or use theirs, plus they have a load of icons you can use to create really professional-looking graphics super fast. You can also make graphs and basic polls really easily too.

Cons

As I use it a lot, I often think of features that would really improve the software if they were added. I suggest them to the live chat people but they rarely actually happen, which is a shame.

Pros

I really enjoy the icon library. I wish the icons available particularly people increased to include more professions, different ages and different races.

Cons

Please expand the icon library (add more people). Also the swatches (number of colors you can save under your brand) is too limited. I work for different companies and I need more colors to save. The upload function for photos is abit cumbersome -> I wish I could just copy a photo from a site or my computer and just paste/drag it.

When creating documents that are multiple pages, I find it really annoying to have to click through the little up and down button-> it would be helpful to have an adobe style scroller.

The downloading of PDFs sometimes takes too long.

Furthermore, sometimes when I download a infographic as a pdf, and I try to edit small typos in adobe> the fonts almost always are janky. It would be helpful to have fonts that are easy and compatible.

I wish I could have different pages to have different background colors. Currently I have to create a large box and I have to expand it to cover the entire page and I have to lock it in.

Pros

The templates are a great way to start an idea off - and you can use bits from different ones to create your own unique design. I often have to make more than one design to show the groups we work with and being able to make my own templates has been really useful.

Cons

Being in the UK the default 'letter' size for lots of the templates nearly always needs changing as the 'A' range is much more popular here, I have also found I need to 'oversize' work so when I down load it for printing the resolution is better.

Pros

To define pros is difficult. Problems from ease of use to simple printing. It is not worth the monthly fee.

Cons

I cancelled my subscription.

Pros

I love that I'm able to upload my own images and logos to really customize it for my needs. I also use the "copy" feature a lot, where I'll duplicate one of my past designs and edit it from there so I'm not starting from scratch. The grouping feature also makes it easy to move around whole blocks of images and text so you're not losing your spacing/placement, but can move it all up or down if you wanted to add or take away extra space.

Cons

I wish there were more font options, or the ability to upload a font. Sometimes I feel limited with the options available.

Pros

1) Cannot stress enough how easy this is to use! I LOVE it. I am NOT in anyway a graphic designer and so I was surprised at how fast I learned and how much I love it
2) GREAT templates. They are aesthetically pleasing and VERY professional!

Cons

A little pricey for my purposes. I wish it were about 1/3 of the price.

Pros

The interface is so easy to use that I can allow other teammates access to projects and they can make changes and updates immediately without my having to train them. There is a huge variety of templates that we have been able to adapt for our needs and it has made a difference in the turnaround time for our projects.

Cons

There are some page limitations on templates that make them a little difficult to adapt for our uses. We have worked around this by making multiple copies that are continuations of the documents, but it seems like an easy fix. More native icons for pictographs would be great - we are an animal shelter and the animal and medicine related stuff is a little sparse.

Pros

The software is super easy and intuitive to use. There are many aspects you can customize (such as adding your own company colors to the pallet - makes reuse a super easy). I like the templates for generating new ideas. The new snapping features works great. Overall, my favorite part is the customer service. I have to admit, I avoided the "Chat with us now" box on the side - thought maybe it was a bot. However, I really needed help one day and I used it. It is a human (or the most realistic AI on the planet). The response was immediate and provided me with exactly what I needed. I have since used it several times with the same great results. In this day and age - that level of customer service is exceptional.

Cons

There are few things I would like to see added. Icons currently are limited to 2 colors for fill. It would be great to have the ability to do more than two colors. Also, it would be great to have more options than google drive for connecting data directly to the tool. Currently I have to manually update charts that I reuse regularly.

Pros

Venngage looks great and is easy to use. For a tool as focused as this one, there's really not much more you can ask for. This makes it easy for me to present stats and figures to my team members, and easily fill them in on how our various communication or fundraising campaigns are going. The simplicity of the graphics makes it easy for people to follow along.

Cons

I've found the software itself to be a bit buggy at times. Nothing that majorly hampers the creative process, but loading times that are longer than they should be, brief freezes, etc. Could just use a bit of cleaning up in that regard, to make a smoother user experience.

Pros

Simple to use. There is something for almost every possible type of graphic you might want to create.

Cons

I really don't have anything bad to say about Venngage. Perhaps only wish I had more of a budget to use it more often.

Pros

I like the tips I get in the emails. Helpful in creating and formatting ideas. Especially for creating a piece for emails.

Cons

I would like to be able to store files in categories...but don't want to pay extra for it. Have something email friendly as to size would be nice too.
