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.
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.
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.

I have been pleased with Venngage and what it has allowed my students to do; however, I think the free version is too limited.
My students and I have enjoyed using Venngage for poster-making projects and infographics. There's a lot to like about it, especially since it's easy to learn to use and it's very user friendly. My students were creating in no time at all. Venngage offers of good selection of templates to choose from and they are well arranged and filtered when searching for a template type. The offered templates...
While I've enjoyed using Venngage for a few projects, I do have some concerns. For starters, you cannot upload your own images on the free version (a feature available with other platforms). Beyond that, you cannot download or export images as a PDF or PNG unless you have the premium version. Even though I like Venngage, this was somewhat frustrating to discover as I'd never experienced this problem...

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

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.
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.
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.

Venngage has a significant amount of templates to choose from. It's easy to use and customize based on my company's brand standards. I was able to create infographics that I was very proud of.
I have nothing negative to report about using Venngage. The company exceeded my expectations and I became better with each design that I adapted.

It is one of two SaaS linchpins for our Digital Marketing program which is only growing.
It has a lot of features and templates. The Content Marketing and Ideas and Support are absolutely first class. We get many of our ideas from them
The UI has a couple of non-conventional things that take a bit of time to get used to but works v ery well

This has been my top choice for making infographics - as someone who works with many healthcare companies, displaying data in a creative way is vital. Venngage is a top tool we’ve used for internal flyers, magazines, board reports, websites and social media.
Honestly I cannot think of a single con for Venngage. It’s pricing is even affordable! I haven’t dealt with their customer service a lot, so that could be a potential issues.

Professional looking materials. Better communication with employees using visual elements. Helps to increase their overall engagement in whatever process or concept that is being communicated.
The templates are amazing. They really help to spark creativity and are easy to adjust to my particular needs. And since they are constantly adding new templates, I can always find something that works well for my project. I also love the icon library. They are so many icons to choose from and 99.9% of the time I can find exactly what I need without looking at other stock image websites. Lastly, the learning curve is not very long. I feel that I became proficient at using Venngage in a relatively short period of time and the results have been that my work looks more polished, more professional in a shorter period of time.
I wish there were more alignment options. There is a snap to guide but I don't always find that as user friendly especially when I have multiple items on the graphic. I'd like to be able to select two or more items and then click "align to left" or "align to center." Also, it would be great to have a distribute horizontally and a distribute vertically option. This will allow me to ensure even spacing between objects.

Venngage is a great option for businesses and brands on a budget who need to create professional visuals. It's easy to use and offers a variety of templates and visuals. However, it does have its drawbacks, as it offers limited customization and does not have a free plan.
I like Venngage's user interface to be basic and intuitive. To get started quickly, I can take advantage of the tutorials, templates, and pre-designed visuals. Venngage has hundreds of templates, fonts, and images, so I can make a brand-appropriate infographic or visual presentation. I like that Venngage's prices start low, making it ideal for budget-conscious enterprises that need professional visuals. With Venngage's professionally designed templates and images, I can easily generate attractive visuals for my business or brand.
I find that while Venngage offers a range of templates and visuals, they are limited in terms of customization. If I'm looking for more custom designs and options, I may need to look elsewhere. Additionally, unlike some other design platforms, Venngage does not offer a free plan. Although their plans are fairly affordable, it's still a downside for me as I'm on a tight budget.

I really enjoy the icon library. I wish the icons available particularly people increased to include more professions, different ages and different races.
Please expand the icon library (add more people). Also the swatches (number of colors you can save under your brand) is too limited. I work for different companies and I need more colors to save. The upload function for photos is abit cumbersome -> I wish I could just copy a photo from a site or my computer and just paste/drag it. When creating documents that are multiple pages, I find it really...

The templates are a great way to start an idea off - and you can use bits from different ones to create your own unique design. I often have to make more than one design to show the groups we work with and being able to make my own templates has been really useful.
Being in the UK the default 'letter' size for lots of the templates nearly always needs changing as the 'A' range is much more popular here, I have also found I need to 'oversize' work so when I down load it for printing the resolution is better.

My presentation look sharper and more professional. In addition, I have been able to create graphics that communicate challenging concepts in a clear and simple way.
The software is super easy and intuitive to use. There are many aspects you can customize (such as adding your own company colors to the pallet - makes reuse a super easy). I like the templates for generating new ideas. The new snapping features works great. Overall, my favorite part is the customer service. I have to admit, I avoided the "Chat with us now" box on the side - thought maybe it was a bot. However, I really needed help one day and I used it. It is a human (or the most realistic AI on the planet). The response was immediate and provided me with exactly what I needed. I have since used it several times with the same great results. In this day and age - that level of customer service is exceptional.
There are few things I would like to see added. Icons currently are limited to 2 colors for fill. It would be great to have the ability to do more than two colors. Also, it would be great to have more options than google drive for connecting data directly to the tool. Currently I have to manually update charts that I reuse regularly.

It is the best infographic maker out there! I am not sure I can list any! Venngage gave me the best experience I had with any other infographic software and believe me I tried many, though it performed all of them!
-UI is simple and clean meaning functionalities are organized and easy to find. - There is a ton of premade templates, so if you are in a hurry and need something polished as soon as possible you can do it in a matter of minutes! - Venngage is a platform that is regularly updated, so new templates, icons, and editing tools are constantly added. - The customer support is super helpful and responds almost immediately! Every time I contacted them, my issue was solved!

- easy to navigate homepage and dashboard - low learning curve rate for new users (most just signed in and 'got it' right away when they were first introduced) - cloud-based application allows for our travelling team to access files easily remotely - having access to Canadian based maps/regions is so incredibly valuable. It's what set Venngage apart from the other software we looking at - price point is still affordable for our non-profit budget - an abundance of graphics means we can really vary and personalize the infographics we create
- Although price point is affordable with our current version, it would be nice to be able to sort projects more efficiently. Something for us to strive for in future budgets if we decide to upgrade to the 'business' version. -

I can design simple infograhpics myself rather than going to a graphic designer. I can import brand details (logos etc) which means that the designs I deliver fit with the look and feel of the rest of our collateral.
The icons, pictograms, and ability to set brand colours make this pretty easy to use. I love the snap to guide as well. The chart feature is awesome.
I can only have 100 images in my upload folder, can't download as a print PDF, can only view one page at a time in multiple page designs, and the site doesn't automatically open new designs in a new tab. Some elements are pretty limited and I don't find this software particularly intuitive to use - I go to another programme for some designs as I can play around a little more and make more attractive designs.

A quick and easy interface for media projects with a lot of native material to work with so we are not designing from scratch. Saves us so much time and effort and helps us turn out polished projects that reinforce our professional image.
The interface is so easy to use that I can allow other teammates access to projects and they can make changes and updates immediately without my having to train them. There is a huge variety of templates that we have been able to adapt for our needs and it has made a difference in the turnaround time for our projects.
There are some page limitations on templates that make them a little difficult to adapt for our uses. We have worked around this by making multiple copies that are continuations of the documents, but it seems like an easy fix. More native icons for pictographs would be great - we are an animal shelter and the animal and medicine related stuff is a little sparse.

As part of our blogging effort, we wanted to offer nice visuals like infographics or just blog banners to make our blog more attractive. Venngage has been an easy and affordable option to do so.
The templates look very professional, so it's a good start for your infographics, ebook covers, blog banners, etc. There's a lot of icons, images, fonts and colors to choose from. Everything is very easy to use even if your not a professional graphic designer.
The only complaint I could think about is that with a Premium account, you cannot arrange your work into folders. So it's a bit hard to find past designs. It is one of the business features though.

The infographics I've made with Venngage has made my work more noticeable.
This software is easy to use. You can make very professional looking infographics in a short amount of time. There are plenty of templates to provide inspiration. I work in a school and I have been able to create displays that can grab attention and disseminate information effectively. The price isn't bad either.
Venngage needs more icons, backgrounds, and fonts. A batch uploading tool could be helpful. Uploading one file at a time can be tedious

I love the diversity of templates and the user friendly way I can adapt them. The templates beautifully cover so many different ways that I can express ideas and research in university teaching.
It's not a great collaborative tool, as I use it in a university context. I am often hired as a consultant and leave my clients with Venngage products for their teaching materials but the premium program doesn't allow you to pass the visuals on to other users to edit later. It's a significant drawback.

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.

I have created some really great infographics to share with the Twitterverse and they have been very well received. I couldn't have made anything close without the help of the Venngage templates and designs.
I am so impressed by the templates provided and the ease of use to customize them.

Helped us - in-house marketing team - design polished, stand-out content without a graphic designer!
So far, our marketing team has been relying on Venngage almost exclusively for day-to-day graphic needs on all kinds of collateral. We'll be hiring an in-house designer soon, but Venngage has been a solid go-to for over two years. I myself am not a graphic designer by any means, but this tool has helped me put together some really polished, stand-out content. Even with a designer on board, I can still see myself using Venngage here and there for stuff I want to put together quickly on my own. It offers a nice set of icon/design options. The templates are good starting points as well, or at least make decent inspiration if nothing else. I find them difficult to customize though and prefer starting with a blank canvas most of the time.
Sometimes it's a bit laggy, but you can't really complain for a subscription. Our needs are a bit niche so I'm not always able to find the kinds of icons or graphs I want, but it's usually possible to work something out with what's available by getting a bit creative.

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.
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.
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.

All of our advertising is made through Venngage. We also use Venngage to make graphics for our presentations.
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.
I don't like the price point and am not sure why it is so expensive. Still need more diversity of images.
