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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There are consistent updates to the software that have made it better than ever. There are new designs, and my personal favorite, live language translation while you present! They are certainly working to keep PowerPoint competitive with similar products, and are really making it work.
  • More recent versions of Microsoft's PowerPoint have ultimately proven to be a very useful presentation tool for projects. In a recent graduate level group project I lead, we utilized MS PowerPoint's online coordination abilities to work be able to work on the presentation simultaneously. This ability was amazing while we were closing the project out and preparing the final presentation as while we were holding the wrap up meeting in Skype we were able to all make edits and review the presentation on the same copy.
  • PowerPoint has incrementally improved over the years, and has more features than I have time or patience to explore...it gets the job done well.
  • PowerPoint is easy to use, powerful, and professional for building presentations. The templates and see m designs are nice too.
  • Ease of use, features, design and support are unparalleled. There are very few apps like MS PPT. Updated support for local languages makes life better.

Cons

  • I wish there was easier cloud storage or collaborative editing through PowerPoint, but this is easily achieved by pairing it with other softwares like Box.
  • My main complaint with PowerPoint is that the user interface in more recent versions is a bit more confusing and less user friendly than older versions.
  • Images aren't as easy to work with in PowerPoint as they are in keynote. Design in general in keynote seems to have a better 'feel'.
  • It doesn't have quite the flash as Apple's presentation builder, which seems more modern, but it does the job.
  • Nothing much to hate in PPT. It is the standard for delivering presentations.
