"Ceros: A content tool"
What do you like best about Ceros?

What I like best about Ceros was the company themselves and the employees. After a visit to their office and calls and emails, the support can't be beat. The product is easy to use and quick to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

As an animator, you want as much control as possible in every movement and action. While a lot of variety of actions and movements is offered, it's limited. Also, the image loader is Ceros branded with a cost to have it removed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very high TCO"
What do you like best about Ceros?

Its easy for designers to use. We are able to create good looking grahpics, but you need to really get used to the system before being proficient at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

- Charging for ongoing support. I don't understand why we have to pay Ceros when we have support questions. We're already paying a license fee, and want to use the product, but in order to get help, we have to pay even more. This makes the total cost of ownership really high.

- Their embeds are really large in size, meaning that it is slow to load and unoptimized for mobile phones.

- Mobile rendering is an afterthought. You have to create a second interactive graphic and you have to have your page call the mobile version when the browser gets smaller. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brad Hess of Ceros

We're bummed to see that Ceros didn't meet your needs. There are a few points to clarify, however. Most importantly, we NEVER charge extra for support. It's all included. Also, our experiences are optimized for page speed, and are now being served via Fastly CDN so they'll load fast no matter where you are in the world. Please reach out to us (marketing at ceros dot com) if you have any other issues and we'd be happy to help.

What do you like best about Ceros?

:) Best interface I've seen for building basic websites.

:| The feature set was a bit simple but adequate.

:)) Canvas, yes. The tipping point has arrived for <canvas>

:( However, the best features of canvas were not exploited (webGL,3D,bitmapData)

:) It's right on the edge of adoptability though the advantages did not push it over for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

There's not much to "dislike" per-se. I would have loved to see a "z" axis in there just to spice up the possibilities. If a customer used this feature, great. If not, the potential would inspire some positive feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ceros platform thoughts"
What do you like best about Ceros?

Ceros has a platform that looks gorgeous. The tools are intuitive and the efficiency is an absolute pleasure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

Their pricing makes Ceros a hard sell. I had a call with a representative when Ceros was about to change their pricing plan, and it seemed as if they are simply attempting to see how high they could raise their service fees for a given brand. With so many amazing tools available on the web for free, it's only a matter of time before Ceros' intuitive web tools are given to the public by a savvy competitor. I truly love the Ceros tools, but to me the costs are unjustifiable for any millennial-run business in this era. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brad Hess of Ceros

Thanks for your response. You are correct–currently Ceros is for mid-to-large sized businesses and not really geared toward small businesses or individual entrepreneurs. That said, we've still seen some smaller companies get high ROI from Ceros since they no longer require development teams to create web content. Also, some media production companies like yourself have found success by passing off the cost of the Ceros license to their clients, which is often a small fraction of their total fee.

"I personally used the software to develop interactive sales and marketing collateral for my team "
What do you like best about Ceros?

I liked the ability to collaborate with other designers/content creators on my team in real time. As a project manager it was great to see how things were coming along and also I could jump in and work together on a project with remote employees.

You customer support was really helpful if we had any trouble using the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

There were a few bugs here and there that I let tech support know about. The product crashed a few times on me when I tried to copy and paste things, and I also had an issue with the editor showing things in one font/color in the editor but something different in the preview. I also did not like how you preform product updates at 5 or 6pm EST during the week, an update in the middle of the night or on the weekend would have worked better for me.

You added an icon feature which was really nice, but I had trouble searching/navigating it. Something that has categories or the ability to save your favorite icons would be helpful.

Copying and pasting from word was not very streamlined, it would jumble characters, add strange spacing and also did not handle smart quotes well. I completed understand that content editors across platforms often have that problem but I think the ability to paste as plain text would have helped solve this problem.

It was also frustrating at times that your system doesn't support .psd or .ai files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brad Hess of Ceros

We're glad that you found our support team helpful. We'll make sure to only update the product in the wee morning hours or on weekends (something we've been more conscious about recently). Thanks for your review.

"Great but too obvious!"
What do you like best about Ceros?

Ceros has a lot of advantages of creating well funtionning websites, with easy workflow for people who are designers. I like that it is fast to understand and really fast to learn its uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

The only issue I encounter is that Ceros has a lot of functions that make the software obvious that it is Ceros, if that is your intention I have no issues. There is no problems on the funtion but when using the motion effects you can start to know that it is Ceros. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ceros"
What do you like best about Ceros?

The creative flexibility with cool technology and ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ceros?

I think there needs to be an easy manual page or something about different resolutions and canvas sized images upload into the ceros platform - for me the highresolution or large canvas didn't always upload as sharply or 100% like I thought it would.

I think theres some limitation with embedding. It would be cool if we could share within social sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
