Great value, easy editing, user friendly. > > **Cons**: It can be a steep learning curve for first timers not used to this program. However there are a lot of youtube videos to help > > Overall, I really like Adobe Animate. I'm using it for a streaming purposes and it's been a really good program for that. It is because they are also a well established company they have excellent customer service compared to some programs that do the same thing but are cheaper ----- ### "Good but expensive" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 30, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe animate has a lot of tools that are easy to use and the integration with all the Adobe Creative helps a lot for the workflow of the same project. > > **Cons**: I don´t like that there is a lot of plug in that are too expensive, and can be nice to have them with a better cost. > > Overall my experience with Adobe Animate has been ok, I will love to have more access to plug ins, because its expensive. ----- ### "Adobe Animate even an 8 year can use it." — 5.0/5 > **Yanatha** | *November 20, 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For value for money, customer support, ease of use, video editing and animation, image editing and design creation and editing tools Adobe Animate is a champion. > > **Cons**: I have no issues with Adobe Animate.

HTML5 Banners." — 4.0/5 > **Christopher** | *February 21, 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe animate is good for making HTML5 banners, however it has hardly changed very much since it was Flash. I think it has fallen behind to Google Web Designer as my go to for HTML5 banners. I think it is easy to use but it lacks in new features or updates to it UI. > > **Cons**: The. interface is quite dated and hasn't changed in years. The auto keyframes and movement of layers and frames can be difficult and a bit sluggish. It feels like it needs a big overhaul and new features added. > > I had been using Animate for over 10 years and I found it easy to use and I liked my workflow for making HTML5 banners. It wasn't until I tried Google Web Designer, that I realised that there is a better and more efficient way to work. The product is good for making banners, but there are better alternatives now. ----- ### "Software to develop crisp and interactive 2D animations" — 5.0/5 > **Nabin** | *August 17, 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe Animate is the industry-leading 2D animation software for creating interactive ads and games for web browsers, AR, and VR devices. It comes free with an Adobe CC subscription, and the user interface is similar to other Adobe software. It features advanced rigging for characters, a rich asset panel with sounds and effects, a wide range of export formats, and great tutorials to get started. > > **Cons**: Requires programming in ActionScript, Javascript, or HTML5 for interactive animation. Animations produced are quite resourceful. Needs to be used in conjunction with Photoshop and Illustrator for better graphics. > > With Adobe Animate we are able to develop interactive ads for our clients. Such ads have helped out clients to gain more customer attention, yielding more business revenue. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1012359/adobe-animate?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1012359/adobe-animate) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
