I'm finally getting used to this software. It's simple enough to get started using it, but it's power is in the different paint settings and water dynamics. You can actually move paint around on the canvas by adding water and using the page tilt control! It's great for making abstract art digitally in a way that wasn't possible before. The realistic look of all the art tools is really impressive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Miro Review
Miro has completely transformed the way I collaborate with others. It’s more than just a digital whiteboard—it’s a space where ideas truly come to life. The collaborative features are outstanding, making it incredibly easy for teams to work together in real time, no matter where they are.
What I love most is how intuitive it is to use. Sharing ideas, sketching out concepts, and organizing thoughts feel so natural. Miro has this way of breaking down complex ideas and making them easy to communicate. It’s perfect for brainstorming sessions, planning projects, or even just getting everyone on the same page quickly.
If you’re looking for a tool that brings teams together and makes ideas flow effortlessly, Miro is a must-have. It’s become an essential part of how I work, and I can’t imagine going back to anything else! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I consider the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite to be a strategic asset that has significantly enhanced our team's ability to communicate complex ideas and processes through visual mediums. We use it every Sprint and the ability for multiple team members to work on diagrams concurrently, provide feedback through comments, and track changes has streamlined our ideation and review processes. One thing I like the best is the extensive shape libraries that make it easy for our team to produce professional-grade visuals without requiring design expertise. The seamless integration with JIRA has sped up the Product Owner to Developer timeline and required next-to-nothing in terms of implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Something I like best about Canva is understanding arrangement and availability simple. Whether or not you are familiar visual computerization, Canva simplifies it to make capable looking content shortly, because of its wide arrangement of versatile configurations, text styles, pictures, and parts. I moreover love the planned exertion features, which simplify it to confer dares to partners and get analysis logically. Likewise, Canva consistently adds new mechanical assemblies, like man-made brainpower energized plan thoughts, that help with streamlining the inventive methodology and move novel considerations!

We've dropped all "Professional" PDF editors entirely where I work. I know that not every company can do it, but we replaced Adobe Pro with Browser PDF Reader, Stirling-PDF for document manipulation, merges, splits, conversions, etc. and finally we already had DocuSign for forms/signing needs.
In the end we dropped all the Pro licensing (saving money already), and we were able to roll out PDF manipulation to all the employees entirely free (a win in my book). And the employees that needed forms/signing already had DocuSign so no added costs there.
So far, no complaints from anyone, and in fact some have actually expressed how much more they prefer it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe InDesign is a versatile desktop publishing application that gives you pixel- perfect control over design and typography.
I find InDesign very easy to use. The way images are linked instead of embedded into the file saves on file size. This also eliminates the need to replace any image contet if it has been revised in another program. Even though InDesign is mostly a publishing software, I have used it most often to create presentations for clients with easy to make layouts that look professional. I also will often use InDesign as a quick way to communicate and discuss changes or edits to designs (for example 3D renders), so there is an easy visual document, instead of just going back and forth in emails with attachments.

Vector drawing and illustration for OS X
The vector editor, Affinity Designer, really impressed me. First of all, it is not expensive, has many export formats (including EPS, which is very important for me as a designer working with micro stocks and has necessary functions that I'm not seeing in the most famous vector editors. Also, I like the user-friendly and customizable interface. I didn't have many programs crashes with Affinity Designer, although I sometimes worked with large files.

SVGator is an online tool designed to simplify the way you animate scalable vector graphics.
SVGator is especially useful for making animations ready for the web as it makes it possible without any After Effects or other plugins. The interface is clean and very user-friendly, and there are many capabilities for interactivity. The ability to export to Lottie format means I will have no problems inserting animations into applications/websites. Customer support is worth mentioning as it is very good, prompt and friendly.

I decided to give paslfy a try beause I was looking for an alternative/complementary solution to Canva and I decided to give Plasfy a chance.
As first impressions it does it job, has a lot of room for improvementse, but given the start up status of Plasfy, it has time to close the gap among more settled competitors.
It also comes with a selection of interesting upselling products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is an abundance of features at your disposal, with everything from physical map changes to completely customizable coloring of data. The only excuse for lacking aesthetics is not exploring all of the features to discover different ways to change the displays. Maptive works well for its intended use: displaying geo-spatially specific data onto a map. The customer service team is quick to respond and will help you work through issues. Overall great product that will help turn a boring table or array of data into an interesting map or series of maps to help get your point across for a sales pitch or a research paper.

The good old GIMP!
Before all the AI boom and people started to use web browser editors, GIMP was the only real alternative to Photosop.

Dropping a pdf into the program is super easy, I like that you can add links right onto specific parts of a page. The reading experience is great, and customizable - also works for reverse bound books. It's not an overly complicated program so is easy to get a hang of.
For an indie manga magazine it's has been perfect. We can create a seamless and emersive experience for our customers without breaking the bank, or our brains.
The fact that "Zine" is an affordable one time fee was perfect for a tiny and risky startup. I personally dislike subscriptions, especially at that early stage and this was the only one I found so it was a quick "yes".
A few years later I was able to show it to a partner working on a similar, but more successful startup and he loved it! Now we have the Creative teir and have lot's of flip books to make. Part of why we got this teir was the fact that Flowpaper will host your flip books and we can both work from our own, distant computers and tag team them.
Whoever replies to Flowpaper emails is very, responsive, kind and helpful which is quite a bonus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
