KeyShot vs. PicMonkey

Keyshot is great for quick renders and its ability to make changes for a fast production pipeline. Since I primarily use it for concept art and making environments, it is not the best when handling larger scenes as it will take a toll on the CPU.

It's great for a small- or medium-scale social media manager or graphic designer. I'm not sure if I'd recommend it for larger-scale projects or editing images with detail as I think it is missing some capabilities that something like Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator may possess, but it is a great tool to create professional-looking graphics with ease.

• Super easy to learn.
• Renderings have amazing realism.
• Ability to share license across multiple PCs.

• PicMonkey was easy to learn and it is very user friendly.
• PicMonkey has a plethora of templates to choose from and keeps content fresh!
• There are always updates! My content never gets old as they are always adding new features.
• PicMonkey offers many "auto" options which makes the process fast and smooth, i.e. auto adjust, auto correct, etc.

• Keyshot is very expensive compared to other software that could potentially do the same thing at a fraction of the cost.
• Keyshot does not rely on GPU rendering so relying on a fast CPU is key.
• You are not able to modify geometry like a standard 3D software.

• I think that PicMonkey could have more opportunities for raving fans (like me!) to act as affiliates for their products and services.
• I think that PicMonkey could make it more apparent on how to save themes. The Hub is great, but I think it is easy to allow that area to become messy and disorganized.

PicMonkey's usability is outstanding! I was able to learn how to edit my photos and create graphics in a short period of time. Between the tutorials and the amazing user interface, I felt like a pro! PicMonkey is very detailed but not so overwhelming that you miss out on great features.

Honestly, I've only needed customer support a couple of times. One time was a question about licensing which their customer service explained very well and offered just the help I was looking for

To be fair, I have not had to use customer support, but I have found the website materials/instructions at PicMonkey.com to be easy to understand and the website (mostly) simple to navigate. As someone who is not the MOST tech-savvy in any room, I find it accessible and not intimidating; it gives me confidence to create the images that I know will be most effective for our purposes.

The rendering capability with SOLIDWORKS PhotoWorks is pretty good but takes time to learn and is a little cumbersome compared to KeyShot. KeyShot offers a SOLIDWORKS plug-in that works great allowing the user to export models directly from SOLIDWORKS to KeyShot.

PicMonkey better suited my needs than Canva because it was easier to complete multiple items within one editing template. As a busy professional, I have to find time in between clients to push content out on Social Media or to email graphics to potential clients and PicMonkey has allowed me to create what I need very quickly without losing quality.

• Faster approval times from client
• Impressive website work vs editing photos

• We see an increase in user engagement when we use these graphics online.
