The drag and drop editor really gave me the flexibility to design to my heart's content with very little in the way of limitations. I found the Instant Magazine team very responsive to questions or concerns as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There were a few things I wasn't able to accomplish at the time of my publication date. One specific item that comes to mind is the inability to create an anchor link. However, when I expressed my concerns to the Instant Mag team, they directed me to their future features calendar and assured me that this functionality - and more - were on the horizon. While that didn't exactly solve my problem at the moment, having insight into what the future holds on the platform helped give me confidence we made the right choice.

Foleon offers a high-quality design and a sleek user interface, making it visually appealing and easy to navigate once you're familiar with it. The overall design aesthetic is modern and clean, which enhances the user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
However, the platform can be a bit tricky to learn initially, and the learning curve might feel steep for new users.
One area that definitely needs improvement is the search feature. It's not as intuitive or effective as expected, and it seems like there's significant room for development to make it more user-friendly and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate that Foleon is dedicated to continuous improvement and open to suggestions. Having a dedicated customer representative helps ensure we get the most our of the product and eases frustrations. The product is very easy to use once you get past the base learning curve and is extremely robust in its capabilities. I find the program to be a great value for the cost.

There is a learning curve, but I am amazed at what the software can accomplish without needing to know code. Some of the competition I vetted prior to selecting Foleon required extensive training and was far more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Foleon provides an intuitive and flexible platform that allows me to easily create visually engaging, trackable landing pages. Seamlessly integrating these pages into our website while maintaining full creative control is a major advantage. The analytics features offer valuable insights, and the support team is both proactive and solution-oriented, helping bring our ideas to life efficiently. I especially appreciate all the help from the design team whenever we want to bring our documents to the next level but lack inspiration or could use a second pair of eyes.

When we first started using Foleon, we weren't able to bring the data to the same place where we store our other analytics. This meant having to keep track of each Foleon page manually for different projects. Additionally, in the beginning, it was a bit hard to keep track of how to store each project and under which domain, but with help from the Foleon team this was fixed. Now it is a very easy to use tool that we regularly pick up for events and other special content we want to highlight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Foleon has been a great support tool for our firm, specifically for creating interactive presentations for our commercial brokers. The projects I have created in Foleon include market research, pitch presentations to engage new clients, and site selection presentations to offer a seamless and visually appealing way to engage clients and organize projects effectively. Each broker has enjoyed the finished product and has also mentioned their clients loving the customization for their specific use and company branding. The ease of use has also been a huge plus as well as customer support. Now that more brokers are wanting to use this tool, we have set up a training with Foleon and our team, so the frequency of use should be increasing soon! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Foleon is definitely a tool that requires hands-on practice for skill improvement. The only issue I'm finding now is that the brokers are liking the tool so much that they want customized presentations but are intimidated by the editing side of Foleon. We are hoping that the scheduled training session will help with the ease of use and integration. From what I know, there also isn't a feature for a tab to have drop down pages currently, but that could be useful for our use. In the meantime, overlays are getting the job done!

The platform offers excellent features for visualizing content and showcasing data. I appreciate the ease of use provided by the pre-made blocks, which facilitate a quick start to projects. The ability to have full control over tablet and mobile designs is particularly valuable. Additionally, the text animation feature adds an engaging layer of interactivity. The brand section is beneficial for maintaining consistent styling of buttons, titles, and paragraphs across all projects. Notably, no web development knowledge is required to utilize this tool effectively, making it accessible even for web designers like myself. Customer support is helpful and walked us through design suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would recommend ensuring consistent spacing across all blocks to eliminate the need for manual adjustments. Also, I had some trouble figuring out how to adjus columns to be equal spacing with text and images. But once I figured it out, everything worked fine. It would be cool to have more robudt animation in the platform. Right now, I make it in after effects and import. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very easy to use. New colleagues can be onboarded within an hour or so. The concept with content-blocks, rows, and elements is very flexible and works well. Once configured the brand-kit, all the foleon-docs you produce are within the brand guidelines (e.g. correct colors, fonts, etc.). Customer Support is fast and helpful.

New features are added frequently, there is nothing I miss now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like how easy it is to make our magazines. There's lots of customization but also lots of ability to template out certain items for efficiency. I'm also blown away by the customer service and collaboration and integration of the Foleon team into our team. You're always there when our team has questions and your team is also always happy to bring any comments/questions/suggestions we have back to the bigger Foleon team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There aren't any serious dislikes. There are just features that we would love to see in the future that our clients have asked us about. Specifically automatic pop up boxes and extra customization when it comes to the brand kits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The amount of customisation in Foleon is nearly limitless, after using Foleon for about a year now, I've recieved tons of great feedback from my colleagues on the designs and interactivity on the content me and my team produces. The platform is one of the easiest to use that I've come across too, with a very quick implementation and onboarding period for the rest of my team, and any questions I tend to have is answered almost immediately in the chat support.
Our team is using Foleon more every month now after the success our current projects have recieved, and we're even finding the integration super helpful with our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I feel like there could be more improvments done to the asset library, most importantly to have a multi-select option to optmise time and organisation of uploaded assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Foleon makes it very easy for marketers to create interactive content experiences. These experiences are interactive, responsive, and more likely to get shared than a typical PDF, or a typical slide deck attached in an email, which is key for educating larger buying committees.
It gives you great control and flexibility to get the layout you want without having to fight a traditional landing page creation tool like a Marketo. Yet it integrates with Marketo so all of the content consumption is pushed into Marketo so you can still track and key off key consumption.
Our sales reps love the Foleon docs as it provides a much better first impression than attaching large powerpoint files to an email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As with any piece of technology, there's a learning curve that you have to go through. But their documentation and videos provide great self-guided learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Foleon is one of my favourite and most frequently used tool at work - it so easy to use and understand/intuitive. This in effect makes it much quicker for me to produce plenty of beautiful, interactive documents people enjoy viewing without feeling overwhelmed with the mass of information that needs to be communicated to the target audience - this is eased with the hotspot and overlay options. There's no need for installation either, which can be a faff at times - you just log in online and go. Whenever there are issues or I struggle to make something work within Foleon, customer support is always on hand to help - they are always very quick to respond.

Would prefer if it can offer more opportunities to visualise data. There are third-party tools that can enable this, but it would be great if we can remove one extra layer of work. If we could just flip progress bars so they stand vertically for instance, that would be one leap forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
