The ability to disseminate information in a clear and easy to understand format to my non-technical target audience for my technical services and training products.

Pros

The interface itself is fast, fresh and well laid out. Minimal clutter when choosing your desired template category and good grief there are plenty to choose from.
I've only had to speak with support a couple of times and both times it was a fast and detailed response.

Cons

I don't use it as much as I should...As I've mentioned there's plenty of good stuff but the design interface is frustrating at times. There is no right click function, it is a nightmare trying to manipulate lower layers (need to drag top layers out the road first) - -just "niggly" things that spoil a feature rich SaaS based infographic design system.

If these things could be sorted, not only would I use it more I'd also be inclined to refer others to it too.

I have been using this solution since more than 2 yrs and found useful , it is our default tool for preparing any info graphics, social media posts, blog images

Pros

great quality icons to develop professionally looking info graphics in quick time. I do not have to rely on professional graphics designer for it. I can manage any graphics for my blogs, websites, social media posts easily

Cons

support for gif can be added or even support for embedding videos can be very useful if added in the solution. Some more templates for ebooks, presentation can add value for users. stock images can be more with variety

I have used Venngage to generate chart images for my non-profit. I have found them more challenging than some of their competitors to use for creating idea-driven infographics.

Pros

If you are producing charts to present data, Venngage excels with many chart templates and symbol elements offered for free.

Cons

Venngage offers the ability to produce a fair image with their online image for free, which is greatly appreciated. However, their interface and results are not as sleek looking as what you can produce with some of their competitors. It is difficult to present ideas that are more conceptual and visual than numbers-driven with Venngage.

Versatility - a program that can seemingly do it all. What's not to love? The price feels a little steep, and at times I notice little things that I wish it had, but all their other features provide sufficient compensation so it doesn't have a big impact.

Pros

Unbelievably versatile and surprisingly intuitive to use. Does the job of multiple applications in one easy to implement and integrate program.

Very good swiss army knife for designers. Great to find inspiration, but also a good tool in and of itself.

Pros

There are so many templates. It really is a designer's dream. I am the only marketing person, so it helps me pump out content and draw inspiration.

Cons

The functionality itself is very tricky and finicky. For instance, when you click to edit a text box, it will move its position 99% of the time, and then when you press undo, it freezes for a few seconds.

AWESOME product

Reviewed on 2018-11-02

Pros

I am not a graphic designer, but needed an easy platform to design graphics for our company. Stumbled upon Venngage and it is incredible. Super easy to use. Their templates are plentiful and there is always something there for inspiration. I have recommended this to a bunch of other folks in small business looking to increase their graphics online in a cost effective way.

Cons

Can be touchy with controls, but you get used to it after woking with the platform after awhile.

Reviewed on 2018-02-25

Pros

I love how easy it is to export and view infographics, at any stage of development, as PNGs, PDFs and even interactive PDFs (with clickable hyperlinks). If something's not right, you can just tab back to the active editor window, make changes and export again. Iterate to your heart's desire!

Cons

Every once in a while, for reasons I can't explain, some detail of design (mostly to do with fonts, I suspect) will manifest as just a little "off" in the export file format. Everything will render in the output exactly as it appears on the editing screen, except - mysteriously - for this one thing... It's not the end of the world, as you it can be resolved through trial and error; however it can be irritating, and this remains my one complaint about the platform.

Quick, convenient marketing assets can be created in-house without the need for expensive software or training to use professional design software.

Pros

I use this site regularly to create infographics, flyers, reports and other marketing assets for my marketing team. It replaces the need to have expensive adobe suite products and training to create simple assets quickly. I've come to depend on this tool greatly to accomplish our marketing tasks and wouldn't want to be without it!

Cons

Occasionally, I've experienced some glitches when editing a piece I have created. I've also found some limitations on the graphics within the system, but the ability to upload your own has really mitigated that frustration. Lastly, I would love the ability to create a report or asset with more than 5 pages, especially for items like presentations and annual reports.

Venngage is a great idea, I love the concept. I am looking forwards to updates that hopefully resolve my issues with the design dashboard. I think it's a valuable tool that is very useful for data visualization for small businesses.

Pros

It's great to have a drag-and-drop interface specifically for making infographics. There are a lot of well designed templates, making it easy to find one for almost any purpose. The template categories are well organized. The app interface is well organized, and it's easy to figure out how to get started. Some of the tools and interactions are a little clumsy and hard to use. The app has all the features I could want - an option for building your own branding, a business option for team sharing, and options to export your files in different file formats.

Cons

I think that the interface and features of the design section could use a little work. When building an infographic, I noticed several things that annoyed or confused me.

- Hotkeys not consistent with industry standard design software - including no undo hotkey. The undo is a physical button you have to push.

- No colorpicker tool. Colors must be manually adjusted or a Hex code must be typed in. Swatches are difficult to add. Very limited selection of gradient options, and no ability to create your own gradients.

- I'd like to be able to upload my own fonts.

Reviewed on 2018-05-02

Pros

The most valuable aspect of Venngage is more than the software itself, but the amazing user support I get as a subscriber! I find the weekly emails from the Venngage staff alerting me to new ways to use the templates in Venngage priceless!! Those guides help me focus my thinking, give me great inspiration for how I can illustrate my message in a compelling way and increase my confidence in developing visuals. This service really sets Venngage apart from similar tools I've used like Piktochart, Lucidchart, etc. I have found that the concepts I've learned from the Venngage team, I can apply to other apps as well (e.g., Word, PowerPoint). I also like the variety of templates available, and that I can "deconstruct" a template and understand how the infographic was designed so that I can create my own version of it as needed. The way the templates are categorized really help to guide the user to the best visual to use for the message being delivered. I will be a long-time user of this software.

Cons

I wish more of the templates were formatted for a standard letter sized page as often I'd like to include them as a part of handout or physical file of resources for clients. The long infographic templates, display the most information which is great for web-based sharing of information, but they are difficult to replicate if you want to share a physical version. Despite the number of icons available, I still encounter situations where I can't always find the right icon to illustrate my message and have to use other sources, e.g., Icon Finder, to identify the most appropriate visual. I do think the monthly cost of Venngage is pricey. I do recognize the annual cost would provide me with some savings, so I'll be exploring that but as Venngage probably realizes, for SB's managing cashflow if key so an large cash outlay for the annual subscription can be prohibitive when balancing that expenditure with other expenses.

We have lots of boring, but important, things to get across. Since people tend to avoid reading lots of words, we needed a way to convey the point with images. Venngages easily creates easy to read infographics.

Pros

The style of using infographics to convey a message becomes more easily manageable and understood with the help of Venngage. The templates make it easier for us to generate the best way to convey the message.

In our modern times, people tend to pay attention to visual graphics more than words. We took simple things like packing list, and turned them into visual infographics to increase "readership".

The free clipart/images are modern and not cheap looking. They match and are themed (similar design) so we can create professional looking infographics.

The infographic builder is what-you-see-is-what-you-get, so as you design the image, you can see what the final product will look like as you go.

Cons

There are been several times when I created an image using a certain size page layout, but then wanted to change the size. The process was a little cumbersome to reformat into different sizes and I think it could be made easier.

Sometimes the grouping feature (grouping multiple items together to move) can be difficult to use when items are layered.

- Social Media Graphics

- General infographics for internal presentations

Pros

The varied options it gives is great along with being up-to-date with trends. For example, Valentine's special templates for the month of February.

Secondly, the fact that it is so customizable right from the colors of the gridline to the font of the legend makes it likable.

It's made my life easier with the graphs. I used to use powerpoint and excel for making charts/graphs and it was a pain.

I also like the options available in icons, makes it quicker for me to not go to a third party like iconfinder.com. I used to use that software to fetch icons and freepik for vector files and merge them in Adobe Illustrator. This software solves all the 3 purposes.

Lastly, I love the chat support. People are quick in replying and help solve my queries proactively.

Cons

I have yet not figured out how do you undo changes (3-4 layers backward).
I am a Safari user and Venngage works better on Chrome so if that could be leveled up, it would be great.

Another thing that bothers me is the fact that Venngage uses only google fonts. If I want to export any other font, I do not have an option. Because of that, I switch to Adobe when using other fonts.

Venngage is a great product- we've used Venngage instead of hiring a graphic organizer, and I like the control I have over my visual products. . When I pressed for more diversity of skin tones and people the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] reached out to me directly to share progress and they did make big changes. They are responsive and their graphics are great.

Cons

Major value for the investment. Unexpected benefits to other areas of my work. Must buy!

Pros

I researched and requested this tool for my work as an instructional designer. I thought it would be primarily useful for job aids (which it is). What I didn't realize is how much I would use the icons and photos for training materials as well! You can export a document as a PPT file (Beta, but it's worked for me), and I load up the file with all the icons (colored with my company's color palette) that I can cut and paste into my training materials. This is a big deal, as I don't have to hire a graphic artist or buy icons.

For my job aids, it's equally helpful. Venngage has a branding feature that allows me to upload all the company logos and color palette info I want. That makes it so easy to grab a template, recolor and redesign, and publish as a PDF. I've been able to create several how-to documents for internal clients and it's amazing (to me even) how quick the process can be and how professional they look!

Bottom line: this product makes me look really good.

Cons

Per-user license. I'd like to allow colleagues to work on my documents with me but they can't without a license.

This is a super fast way to get a professionally designed flyer or other marketing piece ready to go.

Pros

As a graphic designer I thought this was for those without the ability or software to design flyers. After using this one time, I realized how powerful and fast it was to use. I use it in place of my expensive Adobe software for flyers now. It just make sense to use it since it has so many features already built in.

Cons

It has so many built-ins already, but because I use this so often, I would like more. I would like a feature built in that has pre-designed header backgrounds as well as more shape options.

Pros

My favorite part of Venngage is the ease of use. It is really simple to create something unique and professional grade. I use Venngage to create inforgraphics, cards for social media posts, and photo content for email blasts as well. Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy to put together designs. I often use the same templates I have created over and over again. The free images are a definite plus as well.

Cons

The thing I like least are a few of the technical issues. I wish that I could import higher resolution images in my upload and export into even higher resolution for the finished product. Sometimes diminishing the quality of the photo in order to upload it into the Venngage system means that I cannot create posters or larger-scale images because of the pixelation that would result.

Cons

Pros

It is relatively easy to put together an infographic using this software. Having spreadsheet-like capability when importing data is useful and an easy-to-read infographic can be created very fast.

Cons

Infographics tend to not be pleasing to the eye even when utilizing their templates. The visual elements in the library are very basic and although it is possible to import your own, it adds a lot of time to the design. I also think the software has issues when it comes to alignment. The crosshairs confirming that an element is centered always seem to be off by 5-10%.

Let's me create informative documents to disseminate to a team that is more interesting than a bullet point email. It makes it more likely that they will read the information.

Pros

The templates. They are simple to use if you want to create a quick infographic because the images and layout is already there. They are also wonderful for inspiration even when you want to create one from scratch.

Cons

Lining elements up can be difficult as I could not zoom more than 140% and there is no grid to help me line things up. The dynamic guides only appear when using the mouse and not when using the arrow keys on the keyboard which is sometimes more accurate because my hand often slips when using a mouse to move elements. Otherwise, I love this product.
