Top Rated Venngage Alternatives
I find Venngage an incredible resource to organize my mind, to see patterns, to identify new relationships in my data or ideas, and then to present them in a simple way. I really appreciate the huge array of options for shaping ideas -- I often start to understand my own thinking better just by choosing which template to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a lot of small things from a basic formatting perspective that would make venngage a lot easier to use -- e.g, it's extremely difficult to re-align a shape if you've rotated it (why won't it snap to a straight edge!); it would be helpful to be able to put an outline around a text box; the bullet/indent function is primitive; some fonts won't enable italics or bold or some variation. It would also be really helpful if there were existing different colour paletes to just click on with each template. And to be able to bend text into a curve.
I would also like to be able to treat the pages within one design as a "document" -- set a consistent formatting, add page numbers, etc.
I would also like to be able to edit photos a little bit -- like make fuzzy edges etc.
From a more "global" perspective, on one hand, venngage is far and above programs like the smart art within powerpoint from a complexity perspective -- e..,g it's pretty easy in venngage to enabled two way arrows, etc. -- but there are some "missing," non linear shapes -- as in, I find it hard to find a not rigid template for multiple inputs going into one sort of shared pot (like a funnel); and I often find myself looking for a way to present a more integrated model that isn't a venn intersection -- like a care model with multiple interconnected rings.
It would also be pretty cool if some of the functions within a design could be semi-automated -- like, if there were a mind map, to be able to click "add level" without having to add a new bubble manually.
I also very much appreciate the export options -- powerpoint and pdfs -- but the ppt is still a bit rusty and images sometimes export into a kind of ratty version of what they looked like in venngage.
But overall, I really value VG and use it every day, and it's significantly enabled my work to move to a new dimension. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program has SO many templates to choose from. I've been using it for almost two years, and I have yet not to find what I'm looking for. I have to use media tools for my job but have no graphic design skills whatsoever. It was also great because my company is a small non-profit, and we received a 50% discount on the annual price for each employee. We only had to go through a few small steps one time. Each year after that, our renewal rate is still half-price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I wish there were more tools to use when you're in the document you're creating. But that's minor. It really does have most of the features you need to make the graphic your own. Another item to note is that there are limited font styles. Those it has are nice, but sometimes I wish there were more options to choose from. One other feature I wish it had was telling the user what size the page is on the template gallery. Several times I have chosen an option because I like the way it looks, only to find that the page size is wrong and I have to take the time to make everything smaller to fit the page size I need.

There were several colorful templates organized by topic—definitely a good product for attention-grabbing cover pages and graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
On closer inspection, many templates were the same. I also found it a little difficult to edit for my purposes, which inlcuded being able to show more detailed analysis, for example, placing excel data in the file. Further, if you wanted to download in an editable manner, such as into Powerpoint which is offered in beta production, you had to upgrade beyond the $19 charge to a more costly business plan. Further, there were constant mailbots asking me to upgrade. I then went to cancel the subscription and the refund has been refused, after three emails explaining my situation. I understand Venngage wishes to grow their business, but this is not the way to do it. They should be trying to develop fans, not frustrated business people exploring this new product. I believe the Customer Service personnel should be empowered to do the right thing. If this poor customer service had not happend, I would have tapped this product from time to time for catch graphics. Now instead, I am steering clear and using products such as Canva.

Finally, we have a tool designed for an armature to create appealing graphics. The interactive UI of the platform makes it very easy for anyone to use this tool. With tons of templates and excellent graphics, Venngage clearly stands apart from its competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At times, the tool acts a bit slow. Maybe this was a bug when I used it, or it could be inherently slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Has a good name and in theory a good idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using a tool called Visme for a very long time. A friend of mine suggested using Venngage since it was cost-effective. Initially, I was a bit skeptical of the output considering the pricing, but to my surprise, the social media graphics produced were phenomenal! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I guess I have become a fan of this tool. There is nothing negative to talk about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Venngage is a straightforward tool to make any form of design. People with almost nil experience can get started with this tool. The best part of Venngage is that it has thousands of customizable templates to get you get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although they have thousands of templates, many of them are merely a mix and match of fonts and colors. Many of the templates have hardly any significant differentiations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's SO easy to use and very intuitive. There is such a wealth of templates to take and make your own; I love using it for handouts in trainings, especially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes, moving things around can be kind of a pain, but overall, it's just a super easy tool and I use it whenever I can--even for design ideas! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Venngage is a tool that you would enjoy using. The multiple premade templates and DIY features make the task aesthetic yet very easy. This is a tool for all, right from the beginners to anyone who is a pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tool is fantastic; there is nothing to crib about it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
