What do you like best about Xara Cloud?

At first the UI seems simple, but the things you can do with that are powerful. Other programs need lots of steps to make the same. You also have a desktop App. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xara Cloud?

You need to follow different approaches to make the same on desktop App and on web App. Desktop is more powerful, but it is not as easy to use the same templates than the web App. PDF editing sometimes doesn't work well, and sometimes it saves the file with errors (not able to open the file again).

What do you like best about Xara Cloud?

Matt and the Xara team have been exceptional in helping us transition to the cloud version and create a visually stunning company newsletter. Matt's expertise and patience in answering my numerous questions and refining the template have been invaluable. His responsiveness, despite likely having a busy schedule, is truly commendable. I've been a long-time user of the desktop version, and the cloud version, coupled with the team's outstanding support, has elevated my experience. From the initial Zoom call to the guidance throughout the process, the Xara team has been instrumental in our success. Matt and the team have gone above and beyond, and I can't thank them enough for their incredible support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xara Cloud?

The design tool is super easy to use and there are plenty of templates that continually are added. When I started using this tool, it was very easy for me to grasp and use in a moment's notice. I now have an on-going document where I reuse my templates over and over again for consistency across my brand. I love that I can set brand colors that I can re-use and I especially like the edit capabilities on reports, charts, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xara Cloud?

I've noticed that when I use custom sizes, the platform will lag and I will have to re-load the pages to get them going again. Sometimes I also have issues aligning small elements. This can require extra time from me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xara Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick creation of documents, easy to use across my team including interns, easy to use templates for new design ideas for different communication types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xara Cloud?

There are tonnes of templates for various platforms and media formats. Really easy to use and edit, and dead easy to apply branding to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xara Cloud?

A little pricey and upfront payment - a monthly subscription would be preferred, especially if for smaller occasional projects, so you can dip in and out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xara Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

An easy to use marketing tool that can be used on the fly, without needing to spend hours (or days) designing, or hundreds paying someone else each time. I've had some really great feedback from colleagues and clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xara Cloud?

Xara Cloud gives the user to design on a web-based application and post seamlessly to social media sites. I use Xara for my company due to being such a simple UI with broad design space. I love being able to connect m team's cloud drives, share files, convert files etc. The capabilities are endless, especially if you have the Xara Designer Pro+ application with the subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xara Cloud?

Some of the tools are not as broad compared to other competitors. Xara Cloud does not have a point system like Designer Pro +. I wish it also had some other integrations, like connecting to different APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Xara Cloud:

Xara is great for those really wanting to design without learning design. It gives you all the essential tools you need without the flair. It is not an intimidating UI at all, and support is always there when you need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xara Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work for a small company doing web designing and web marketing. Most of my consists of deciding products putting on out site and designing while handling support can be a tough task. I find that Xara gives me the ability to copy and paste will giving my posts and marketing a unique feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xara Cloud?

We use Xara Cloud to create our marketing and training materials quickly and effectively. We're able to switch brand assets quickly when we have to create pieces for clients, and exporting is quick and intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xara Cloud?

The UI for moving elements can be a little rough from time to time, but that's probably me doing something wrong. It would be cool to be prompted to put in a new name when creating a new piece. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xara Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that we're solving with Xara is the need to create training materials, marketing collateral, and instructional infographics quickly and consistently. I don't have to worry making sure my team is using the most recently approved logo or branding guidelines either, which is such a lovely treat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xara Cloud?

I am not a professional designer - just a (very) small business owner, who needs some design work done every now and then. I checked out several design programs. Xara seemed to be very intuitive, able to meet my needs, and offered a good price point.

After I started using it, my positive expectations got more than confirmed: yes, it is intuitive and easy to use. And yes, it meets practically all my demands. Even better: using Xara has opened up some whole new business possibilities for me, especially in the field of selling e-books, posters and other digital designs.

What I didn't know beforehand is that they also have an incredible level of customer service!!

Questions get answered very quickly and thoroughly. And it has happened several times that they have actually made a design element for me, when I couldn't find it in their 'library'.

The people working at Xara really make you feel that they care about their job - AND that they care about their customers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xara Cloud?

There is nothing that I dislike about Xara. They regularly implement newer versions and improvements - but I haven't encountered any 'bugs' so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xara Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my business I use Xara for all kinds of daily design issues. For example:

- Making E-books;

- Making posters, cards, headings and such;

- Making journals.

It's very easy to set up different 'looks' for different products, and also to implement a consistent design look over a range of products.

A real bonus is the possibility to use the free photographs they offer (saves a lot of time and hassle).

They also offer some very nice and easy set-ups for Social Media postings - the next thing on my To Do-list :)! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xara Cloud?

The ability to create various professional documents without relying on a graphic designer is one of the reasons I continue to renew. Xara is a one-stop shop for all my collateral needs. I also like that they are continually improving the functionality and template offerings. The response time and guidance to submitted questions (via the chatbot) are excellent. I should also note the ability to collaborate and share documents as well as publishing for cloud access is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xara Cloud?

While there are some slight nuances to working with documents, none are noteworthy. I continue to renew my subscription because of this very fact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Xara Cloud:

Start with a trial (if available) and spend a few cycles creating materials. It should become very evident from that point where to subscribe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xara Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xara significantly reduces document and collateral preparation and lead times. My clients and colleagues have all complimented my business professional high-quality presentations, collateral materials, proposals, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
