Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Hoped this would be a good alternative to Adobe InDesign. Nope. It had potential but a billing error has left me with a bad opinion of the company. Be careful with your money, Adobe is much better.
  • Lucidpress’ online publishing platform has all the features I need for my quarterly newsletter. I especially like that it’s shareable so more than one person can write and edit directly onto the document simultaneously and in real time. Great to use while sharing on zoom! It saves changes automatically so it’s virtually impossible to lose edits. It’s easy to download and save versions to refer back to, and when it’s ready to print, I can save with crop marks to send directly to printers, or in optimized format for web publishing. It’s made pushing out regular and timely newsletters (not my main job!) just that much easier. Thank you, Lucidpress!
  • I love that I could create my layout in InDesign and upload it to the website and had a beautiful book in return. The site is easy to use. I read a round-up of reviews and Lucidpress was recommended. I have been extremely happy with my decision
  • I like the opportunity to have a free trial to see what Lucidpress was all about. After those 14 days, I could not purchase it fast enough. The ease of allowing people to create content without having to impact my coworkers was amazing.
  • No matter how you search for a template, they are quick to find, easy to use and simple to download. It is user friendly and generates the perfect customizable flyer.

Cons

  • Charged me nearly $400 for a year of software, even after I cancelled my subscription. Did not send an invoice or receipt. Will not refund or resolve the issue.
  • The learning curve was somewhat steep at first when my employer, UCI Health, decided to use this through one of our printing partners, but once I mastered the quirks in its text formatting and image handling, it was smooth sailing. It doesn’t handle directory listings in column format terribly well and it automatically resized text without my asking. Perhaps I need to figure out how to prevent this, but it was frustrating to say the least!
  • I would lever a larger gutter in layout. This was not adjusted in the template that I had to upload the document to.
  • I have yet to run into a con, anytime I have had any sort of issue (which haven't been many) the customer service has been there with every answer.
  • I have not found any negative feature using this system.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I don't even know who it can be useful for, because those videos or previews are the same and have been used by everyone. If you want to stand out, then Renderforest won't help you.
  • It's very user friendly, as well as the lot of options in template. Multiple size and quality as needs.
  • I like the easy to use templates. For those who are starting out, this is easy to use and I also like the feature to get those to help you on your website. You don't use up a license for some from the team to help with website. This is a plus when dealing with websites in multi-languages. Mockups are great when you are trying to see how your brand or logo will look like. Gives your audience a realistic look of what they might be getting. Not only that, but the team is able to see if it will work or not. They have suggestions to help improve their services, so it's imperative to inquire if you are trying to see improvement.
  • A lot of creativity when it comes to logos and video animation, and the fact that users can customize their videos and logo. I was looking all over the place but could not find a website with such features.
  • I liked everything they advertised. The videos are nice, and it’s not that difficult to use. I rated it 5 stars because they are pioneers in this space, but I think they actually deserve 4.

Cons

  • The announced AI does not work. Tech support takes a long time to respond. The price does not match the quality. Limited video editing functionality.
  • High rendering time, no built-in images as search.
  • Limited on templates, but ok for those who are learning. For website, limited on the amount of languages to use, looking forward to when this is lifted. Far as for other services, limited but are doable for learners. As you start to get more creative you may find that you are limited. Tickets opened could have a quicker turnaround time when escalated.
  • I think the only bad thing about this website is the price.
  • There are only a few things I don’t like. The video sometimes takes a really long time to be created, and you can’t create more than one simultaneously.
