Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I use Illustrator and Photoshop constantly and they both excel at what they can do. My vector based artwork is produced in Illustrator and I've never looked for a competing product. I've used Illustrator for the past 30 years and it constantly keeps getting better. Powerful, compatible, and sets the standards.
  • The tools of Illustrator are very easy to use and it creates better logos and vector objects because its simplicity.
  • Illustrator has become a fantastic product for our team. We can easily use the product remotely on all of our computers. We pay the annual subscription for our team which allows us to get automatic updates. We no longer need to buy a new CD every year. The program is powerful and yet easy to use. We can have 10 design templates open at the same time and not see a lag in our work load.
  • This product is awesome with its many features and ease of use format. We use this product to design our decals and export it to a printable file. This product has so much more application and we hope to expand and use it to its full potential.
  • This is the best product on the market for creating art and design for digital distribution. The amount of tools and usability cannot be matched by anyone else on the market.

Cons

  • It is tricky to learn, but once you understand it you will love it.
  • Illustrator files occupies more space so I can't save all my files in Ai file type.
  • There are difficulties finding font files and searching for fonts that are not available. Could use a system that guides us on installing font process as it's a common problem that needs to be solved on many jobs that we process.
  • The subscription for the product is pretty pricey and could be a burden to smaller companies.
  • Prepare to have a steep learning curve for this product. It operates much different from other Adobe products and tutorials are key to get it working.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This is extremely versatile useful when it decides to work. The subscription is only about $20 a month, which is not bad at all.
  • Adobe InDesign is the industry leader for desktop publishing. It's loaded with features and continues to improve with each update they release.
  • After using InDesign for 10+ years, I find it to be so intuitive. Continuous text boxes are so easy, the smart guide system is awesome, super easy to track down broken linked graphics.
  • If you want to make sure the content and the appearance of what you write looks appealing and interesting you should go for it. Easy to use and plenty of tools for the best experience.
  • InDesign makes it very simple to handle multi page designs like user manuals, brochures, magazines etc. that have multiple sections with separate layouts and themes. Definitely a better tool than using Photoshop.

Cons

  • Usually crashed or would recall a project and immediately say the project is unreachable.
  • There is a steep learning curve to using the software if you've never used it before.
  • Embarrassingly, it took me years to figure out that the reason my PDFs always saved with pixelated graphics was because of a compression setting in the Export window - it doesn't make a lot of sense to me that the default option would be majorly compressed. But that was kind of a personal problem/operator error!
  • It could be cheaper, and the option of direct publication should e there. Other than this, it is quite amazing.
  • You're in for a frustrating experience of you're coming from Photoshop. InDesign is great but takes time to get used to.
