Came over from a competing crowdsourced design platform about five years ago, and the switch made sense at the time. The creative pool on crowdspring felt broader, the IP protection angle was genuinely better handled than what I'd seen before, and their support team picks up quickly. Those things are still true. For a department that runs maybe eight to twelve design briefs a year, the concept-phase variety you get from having hundreds of designers pitch is hard to beat with an in-house setup.
That said, five years of regular use has exposed some real friction. Project management inside the platform hasn't evolved much. Communicating revision feedback to multiple designers at once is clunky, and I've lost count of how many times a promising concept just disappears because the designer goes quiet. The pricing has crept up noticeably too, which is harder to justify to stakeholders when the workflow experience hasn't kept pace. I haven't left, but I'm evaluating alternatives more seriously than I was two years ago.
