What do you like best about Ceros?

Ceros' customer service was great at responding to me quickly and, for the most part, with helpful responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

I wished that they had some more robust features - I found that their platform didn't support our needs halfway through the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ceros:

While the benefits are there, they're hidden very well behind a steep learning curve, a sales team lacking in organization and understanding of the user end of the product, resources that aren't given unless the client asks for them, and many, many more unfortunate issues that arose in my short time working with Ceros. There's a ridiculous amount of potential with this product, but they definitely have a long way to go.

For example, there is no offline editing mode, meaning that, unless you are connected to the internet, you cannot design. As a designer myself, I know that I'll get some of my best ideas quickly and unexpectedly, and Ceros does not (and has admitted that in no time in the near future will they) align for that offline experience.

Ceros never remembers login information. Closing a window means logging you out, refreshing a window after a short period of time means logging out, and closing the browser means logging you out. It's not the worst thing on this list, but it is horrendously inconvenient.

When your design is published, Ceros has admitted that it is impossible for those viewing your project to zoom in or out of your project on mobile or desktop, making it out of the question for those with visual impairments to have even the slightest chance at viewing your creation.

It is impossible to hyperlink - any piece of text you'd like to link to must be done with a "hotspot", an additional element that must be placed like a mask in a layer over the element you'd like users to click through, instead of simply being able to link something as you would, well, anywhere else.

On the page, there are no default templated menu options for people to get to certain sections. Instead, a menu must be created completely from scratch with individual text boxes, rectangular shapes, and hotspots that act as jumplinks to bring users down, all grouped together and pinned to the top of the page.

There is no data visualization tool within Ceros. Ceros suggested I use their Chartblocks integration, which was difficult to use, would not allow me to sign in, and had four font options. Four. Instead, I was told that if I did not want to use their integration, I would have to create everything by hand – incredibly tedious and disappointing.

I could go on, but I'll save readers time by saying that unless the design you're creating is simple, you have an enormous amount of patience, and don't mind constantly switching between Firefox, Chrome, and their desktop app, there just might be a better alternative out there for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used Ceros to create an interactive data visualization page for our readers to better understand and work with the original data we collected for an event. With Ceros, there are quite a few benefits in comparison to stagnant design, such as being able to present more information in a seemingly smaller place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

Multiple layers in a project can be very complicated to work with at times, especially overlapping clickable hotspots. Careful labeling of individual elements and layers is recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am no longer a regular Ceros user (corporate decision), but it was a great tool to build elaborate client projects similar to building a unique website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does take some time to wrap your head around the platform if you've never done interactive design before; too many layers or pages can result in confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe our company needed analytics, and it's either available (at a price) or they're working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use as a non-developer once you get onboarded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ceros?

Not every designer can be the Swiss Army knife that we hope to be. As a static designer, I'm finding that my skills are slowly becoming stale as we move into the age of interactive design. My favorite thing about Ceros is that a layout designer can whip up an infographic, microsite, e-book, etc. and bring it to life. The platform is intuitive and feels so familiar, since it looks so similar to the Adobe programs we all love. Ceros is easy to learn, easy to use, and puts your static assets to shame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

One of the types of content that we offer our clients is an assessment. Users should be able to click between a variety of options, fill out a lead generation form, and then be filed into a specific category. I've found that creating quizzes is not as easy as it should be in this platform, and receiving results isn't intuitive either. The analytics are a little wishy-washy when it comes to what user selected which answers. Also, building the assessment is convoluted and not as turn-key as I would have hoped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ceros:

If your company dabbles with interactive content, then Ceros is right for you. If your company is currently producing strictly static content and are looking for a fresh start, then Ceros is right for you. If you're reading this review thinking to yourself, "I wonder if Ceros is right for me," then Ceros is definitely right for you. The only reason I would shy away from recommending Ceros is if you're interested in creating quizzes and quizzes only. Otherwise, I have no reason not to tell everyone to use Ceros. It's been the most talked about platform at my company for two years now, and it only keeps getting better. Ceros is constantly listening to user feedback, making changes and updates, and adding new features. It really is a game-changing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the B2B world, companies are trying to push out the latest and greatest assets to their audience. They want their pieces clicked on and read first. Now that we're in a digital age, people are done reading boring content. People don't want to flip through exhausting PDFs to learn about something. Ceros brings exciting, interactive content to the table like never before. There are animations and clickable objects everywhere. There's movement and action that people are looking for to keep them enticed. Our clients are no longer producing stale content, and that's the biggest benefit there is!

What do you like best about Ceros?

CEROS' design interface closely resembles programs that designers already use, such as Photoshop and InDesign. It's extremely easy to use and any designer can work in the program quickly--truly within a week they will have a grasp. CEROS allows for clean, professional, interactive and eye-catching creations, from quizzes and infographics to flip books and microsites. You can get very creative with your work and make it from scratch, or download one of CEROS" already-made templates. If you see something you like that CEROS created for another publisher, agency, etc., chances are you can download that same template and repurpose it for your own use. For those in sales or marketing, the program can help create engaging presentations that move away from simplistic PowerPoints. The ability to share a preview link helps a company work with clients to ensure it was they want, providing a level of QA that you can't get with Adobe Creative Suite. Lastly, the support team at CEROS is fast and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

From a publisher's standpoint, CEROS inability to set a creation live for the future makes it difficult to work with. The use of scheduling is imperative when clients want their campaign to launch on a certain day; therefore, you will have to set reminders to go within CEROS and publish it live. In addition, the lack of capturing readers' information makes for another drawback. Readers who come to a publisher site cannot enter in their information on a CEROS creation. This is a big selling point when we work with clients who would like to capture an email database from a quiz; as a result, we cannot offer them this option and must revert to using a separate program. Lastly, the responsiveness can be tricky on certain websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ceros:

Please keep in mind that CEROS training is required for designers who will be using it, but it is extremely easy to pick up. The program is costly so make sure your company will be getting the most out of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As mentioned, we are able to provide our clients animated products that we could not before, which helps us to create more revenue for our company. We no longer need to rely on an engineering team to create a custom product and can complete it within our design team. The product makes for efficient designing and production, allowing us to provide a faster turnaround time for our clients. Nothing makes a client happier than having a product be created in less than five business days and have it go live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Ceros?

We were looking for a way to create interactive ebooks, something outside of a PDF. We came across the Ceros product and have been really impressed. It is easy to use so my team who are not graphical designers can maintain and fix assets. It is a collaborative platform so our graphics firm can do their piece while we are editing, and we can review it together online.

Support is top notch. They answer questions very quickly (even immediately at times), and are always thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

Some browser specific issues sometimes, but that's about it. there are some features that would be nice, but that's not a dislike and I'm sure it will come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ceros:

Do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The resulting products are great. We have experienced a big uptick in click thrus with the eBooks produced with Ceros. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
