"The SUPER Behance!"

5/5

What do you like best about Behance?

One of the things I like most about Behance is that in addition to being an excellent networking tool with other designers, it also has integration with Adobe Portfolio, which makes my life so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Behance?

Despite the integration with Adobe Portfolio, it is still not well integrated, causing some changes to be made to Adobe Portfolio for it to be correct. As an example I can mention the alignment of blocks that do not yet have in Adobe Portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Behance:

For those looking for Behance, I recommend creating an account on Adobe Portfolio and integrating Behance, as it is more professional to share Adobe Portfolio with companies, but everything managed with Behance, it's amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Behance solving and how is that benefiting you?

Behance helped my life with my professional, I got a new job with Behance, sharing my portfolio with several companies easily and practically and also sharing my Adobe Portfolio. I solve all UX and UI problems and turn them into a case to be inserted in Behance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Behance is great to make yourself stand out during job searchs"

5/5

What do you like best about Behance?

Behance is a great place for creatives to display their work because of the concrete target public inside de website. You can find other creatives like yourself to look for inspiration, or you can make yourself noticeable to the recruiters who may be looking through a lot of candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Behance?

For being a place for creatives, especially in my field of Graphic Design, the options for posting your work can sometimes be very restrictive (i.e., the scarce diversity of fonts). As a result, posts are not 100% cohesive. The website users are looking to display their work in high quality, which can sometimes result in long loading times for weaker internet connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Behance:

It can look like a frightening platform to use at first, but once you start interacting with it, you will notice how great the possibilities are. You will encounter a fantastic community of creatives, and a professional-looking portfolio, which will make you stand out among your peers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Behance solving and how is that benefiting you?

Behance allows me to present professionally the work I have done in the past. Additionally, this platform is highly valued and known by peers and recruiters in my field of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great place for showcasing and discovering creative work"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Behance?

Behance is one of the first places I think of when looking for inspiration. Its features allow you to easily search for creative works, create and share moodboards, as well as post your own portfolio. Overall, the Behance collection is so large that it could easily replace all other design resources.

It's also an excellent place for making connections, hiring designers, and collaborating with other design firms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Behance?

Since Behance lets everyone post anything, there are lots of low-quality and student-project designs. The website also does not allow you to download images to your computer, so you have to take screenshots or save them with a third-party application (i.e., Eagle). It's also challenging to get quality feedback about my work here because other users use the comments section mostly for self-promotion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Behance:

Behance is a place to be for all creatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Behance solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Behance mainly to find designs by filters (i.e. creative category, colors, topics, etc.) It has all kinds of creative work and allows you to create and share moodboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A huge pile of opportunities for creators!"

5/5

What do you like best about Behance?

Behance is really close to my heart due to many reasons. It has helped me showcase my graphic designs, short films, ad films, etc. on a single coherent platform. And, this platform was used by me to show everyone from friends, family to industry leaders the diverse portfolio of the work that I do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Behance?

Genuinely, I have no disliking in regards to this product. Features like a portfolio for creative human beings, a creative network for showcasing and discovering creative work, appreciating those pieces of designs, sound, movies, etc always boosts the morale and inspire any creator to push their limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Behance:

If you are starting out as a designer, artist, producer, cinematographer, photographer, video editor, or any of such creators, then even without giving your work a little bit of doubt or criticism just upload your work on Behance. The community of Behance will definitely provide you with the kind of feedback that you require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Behance solving and how is that benefiting you?

I honestly didn't spend much time discovering other artists on Behance, but I surely have updated and uploaded a lot of my design work on Behance. At the same time, I even uploaded some of those designs on Instagram, but that isn't a creative portfolio platform so the 100 likes and comments that I got on Instagram didn't even match the importance of even a single appreciation on Behance.

Their UI (User Interface) is very smooth and customizable for storing any graphical portfolio. Also, people can hire me from Behance I mean they can contact which is very effective for me as a graphics designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Behance?

Actually, I dislike their country's restrictions. Some of the countries can't upload their portfolio as like a live website. It's very annoying for a designer. I hope they can fix and sort out the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Behance:

I just wanna all countries can access Behance very easily. Thanks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform for Portfolio Management"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Behance?

If you're a Creator, then Behance is something that you will be using in your day-to-day life. I'm a Graphic Designer and a Photo Editor, and Behance has helped me a lot of times. Behance is a product of Adobe, and I think it has been beneficial to me because of the following reasons:

- If you're running out of ideas, then Behance can be the perfect place for being Inspired by other Creator's work. They have work related to every Genre like Photography, Social Media posts, Typography, UI/UX Design, and more.

- Behance can also be used as an Online Portfolio where one can upload their work and can share as an Online Portfolio

- One can also look for Jobs and Creators for Work. Being a Graphic Designer, I have used this feature a lot of times, and It has helped me find many Freelance Projects and Jobs.

- With the help of Behance Subscription, one can get the Open Source Files of Premium Projects. I personally like this one as people are getting value for their artwork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Behance?

Behance is one of the software which I use on a daily basis, and It helps me to get inspiration from multiple design projects. And being a user of Behance, I have found some problems in it which I think can be improved:

- I would like to see a filter on my Home page from where I can decide what I would like to see on my Home Page today. Different kind of Content distracts a lot of time.

- I use Behance both on the Phone and Desktop, and I have realized that the phone version has many bugs. Because of this, I'm not able to send messages to people messaging me or enquiring me about a project.

- Users should get an option where they can edit their Work. If we delete our work, we will lose all the Appreciations and Views we have received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Behance:

Although I'm a Graphic Designer, I started very late on Behance. I want to suggest people to start working on their Behance profile. Many people believe they should only upload their excellent work. But I think that's wrong. A portfolio is made to show how you have grown as a Creator and Person. One should also show how you started and where you're right now. The Ladder of success can act as an inspiration for your Clients and followers.

Also, Behance is an excellent Platform for generating work and presenting Work. Who knows, your subsequent work might come from Behance. You should also use Behance on a daily basis if you're thinking of getting inspiration on a daily basis. Please include it in your Daily Schedule it will help you in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Behance solving and how is that benefiting you?

Behance has helped me a lot of times. With the help of the Behance portfolio, one can show their work on a grand scale, and it also acts as an Online Portfolio.

For a Creator, their Work is everything, and to present their work, A Portfolio is a must. I have even received many offers when people find my Designs to be too good. I feel Behance can open a big door of opportunity for Beginners and people who want to play big.

Also, Showing someone your Behance Portfolio is much better than showing your work one by one. Also, this creates a significant impact in front of the Clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great place to show your work"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Behance?

Behance is a great way to show off your work with an online portfolio. If you use Adobe products, then this is an easy transition for you. Behance and Adobe work well together to make it easy to share your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Behance?

I would like to see from Behance a way to get your work seen by many people. As the platform grows in users and project uploads, it can be hard to get your work seen by many. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A fantastic online portfolio for artists and creators"

5/5

What do you like best about Behance?

When I'm starting a new design project, I like to use Behance. The platform allows me to gather research and inspiration from a large number of designers who share their work on the site. The best part is that anyone can sign up for a free account and begin building their portfolio. For me, the most fascinating aspect was how much inspiration you can get from looking at other people's portfolios. Portfolio creation is a fantastic tool for designers, especially when applying for jobs; it's great to share your work on Behance with employers who are interested in seeing your skills. I love to use Behance its user friendly and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Behance?

There is nothing to be unhappy about. Behance is a fantastic platform, but I wish it had more filters to help me find different types of work. Also, Behance should look into their job section because I've seen people post about themselves, which is not a job posting and should be removed and monitored by Behance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Behance solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Behance to organize my work into categories. Users can also link their social media accounts to their profiles on Behance. I can edit and rearrange the order of my projects at any time. It's also a great place to get ideas and stay up to date on design trends and creators from all over the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
