The client services team is backlogged and spread thing. That means if you need design help with a piece, you would have to fill out a brief significantly three weeks in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy they developed this to use. Its quite similar to Photoshop which is good because a lot of our users have experience with Photoshop and find Ceros easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took for a spell to learn- - particularly for our understudy laborers who were utilized to Adobe inventive suite applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.
