"Awesome design tool for a freelancer"

5/5

What do you like best about Flexitive?

Flexitive really shines as an "automagic" responsive design tool. As a designer, creating 20+ designs for 1 ad that happens to be in 20+ sizes is a huge pain point, not to mention time-consuming.

With Flexitive, I'm able to trim my time down by a fraction of what would be spent in other design tools, while actually spending more time creating fresh ideas--like interactive and dynamic designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexitive?

While you can export to HTML5, animated GIF, and video I wish they had the option to export to PDF for print -- for example crop marks and bleeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flexitive:

Watch the training videos -- they're short and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flexitive solving and how is that benefiting you?

• Create 1 design that is fully adaptive to export into many sizes, based on one design in seconds.

• Awesome animations that don't require overly complex animation software

• Making awesome HTML5 designs that don't require any code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool that solves a lot of problems"

4/5

What do you like best about Flexitive?

I like that the export for all DSP's works right the first time. I've had issues exporting from programs like this only to find that DCM won't accept it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexitive?

The logic of the interface is not the most intuitive. It could use an overhaul to make it swifter and more intuitive. The way each ad set is stored is also not very flexible. For example, it would be of more value to be able to arrange the ad sets in folders and to move the ad set freely between existing folders. Right now each ad set is rigidly listed chronologically as you create them. And I haven't figured out an easy way to group them by Topic, in my case I would group them by Client or by campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flexitive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flexitive has cut down our build time on HTML 5 ads in two ways. It automates a lot of basic animations that we would otherwise have had to build and then applies that to various sizes automatically. There's still some fine tuning required, but with the proper planning it is much easier for the vast majority of animated designs. Also the plethora of export options for practically every DSP is rock solid. And the exports work without hassle, such as broken links or non-working clicktags. And lastly, their customer service is very responsive. They've always responded quickly and been proactive about problem solving on every request I've made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Animated HTML5 For Designers"

5/5

What do you like best about Flexitive?

Flexitive’s intuitive platform makes creating HTML5 digital efficient so I can focus more on designing and concepting rather than resizing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexitive?

Flexitive is great for most of my digital. It allows me to get the best balance of creativity and efficiency for robust campaigns. However, if I’m on a project requiring more custom animation, I may consider using another platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flexitive:

For digital display: make duplicate layers if you’re wanting to animate something independently of the other sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flexitive solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can use live type with embedded fonts in my campaigns so I’m able to make changes quickly. I also enjoy the preview page so I’m able to send my clients previews of everything without bothering with an FTP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We currently utilize the Flexitive platform across a number of our agency accounts."

5/5

What do you like best about Flexitive?

Flexitive has been instrumental in reducing our digital asset creation time and overhead (development) costs. Their software as a service has helped us streamline our internal workflow from both an effectiveness and an efficiency standpoint. We are now able to share previews of our assets directly with our clients and make edits in realtime, across multiple ad-units which has been dramatically effective for our clients from an impact perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexitive?

The only thing we dislike about Flexitive is that some of our competitors have learned of their software and we are no longer able to tout it as our secret sauce and a competitive advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexitive is easy to learn and I love the animation feature"

4/5

What do you like best about Flexitive?

Flexitive is great for making many ads but I love it for the animation feature. We are already coming up with new ideas for our company's emails. There are so many options to make them really pop,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexitive?

I have problems when making new designs. I have a lots of elements that need to resize and they seem to have a hard time making that happen. I also wish the fonts sizes could be changed within one text box. I try to replicate my designs and I have to create different text boxes to make that happen.
