Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I've been doing this job for over 20 years and Desk is by a country mile, the single worst editorial system I have ever had the misfortune of having forced upon me, and I am comparing this directly with the first system I used back in 2002, which was a totally command-driven system operating under MS DOS, but had 80% more flexibility and functionality.

Cons

  • Constant, and almost ceaseless crashes, lock-ups, errors and freezes. Slow to the point of ridiculousness. Takes forever to open pages, edit copy, load in pictures etc. And it usually takes several attempts to load things in as the first few attempts invariably fail. Extremely limited functionality. No method of changing the point size of text, no method of changing text colour, no method of kerning, tracking options extremely limited. Picture cropping tools are a total and complete joke - and that's on the rare occasions they actually work. Every single function and event generally requires multiple mouse clicks and opening multiple screens to achieve, there are no shortcuts, no workarounds. In most situations it's required to have several iterations of Desk open in different browser tabs simply in order to do your job. Horrible, buggy, unintuitive user interface.
