I love how InDesign can help users create professional looking documents with ease. I use it a lot for brand guidelines, flyers and documents. It makes it easy to update document wise font styles, color styles, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't love the interface as much, it's a little dark and sometimes I wish the coloring was a bit brighter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The updates that have improved InDesign's ability to import from and work with other software are very helpful. Even though you can no longer buy the software, the monthly cost for the Creative Suite is doable for most individuals/businesses. The steady integration of AI (should you choose to make use of this tool) has helped with simple design tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've had occasional issues with crashing. Granted, my setup isn't top-of-the-line anymore, but because of the dozens (or even hundreds) of linked items that appear in many long InDesign publications, there are a lot of errors that may corrupt the file and require a guess-and-check approach to saving an uncorrupted file.

I consider Adobe InDesign the gold standard for publication design. I greatly appreciate that it has the tools to be precise with measurements, spacing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can sometimes be frustrating when links break due to files being moved or renamed. It's a minor inconvenience that images aren't embedded in the document, but an inconvenience nonetheless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very competent piece of software that allows me to design just about anything ready for print. The interface is good once you have understood it. It is pretty stable too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing. I really object to the subscription model. I would move to something else if I didn't require compatibility with my client's software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really is the benchmark for what it does. It's robust and because it's been around for years there is a lot of help for new users which makes the UI/UX easy to navigate. It performs well and integrates to other adobe products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing. As with all Adobe it's a lot of money when there are new kids on the block that are much cheaper Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe Illustrator is, for me, the best program for vector graphics and professional designs. The features are very extensive and offer almost unlimited possibilities for logos, illustrations, graphics, and print templates. Especially the precise tools and the good integration with other Adobe programs make daily work significantly easier. The learning curve is a bit steep at first, but you get a powerful software with professional results. Clear recommendation for anyone who works regularly with graphics.

The results with InDesign are very good, but I found the operation somewhat cumbersome at the beginning of my career. Many functions are hidden deep in menus, and especially with larger documents, there are occasional performance issues. As a private individual, I would also be bothered by Adobe's subscription-only model, as it involves ongoing costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing for me is its ability to manage complex layouts while maintaining consistency throughout the document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software has a fairly steep learning curve, especially for beginners with little experience using professional design applications. At first, some features and tools can feel overwhelming, and it takes time and practice to become truly proficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a fully fledged tool that gives you maximum control over every pixel, while also helping you create with the bigger idea in mind now that AI is built in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels a bit outdated now, mainly because paper and print media usage has declined overall—even within the journalism space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Adobe InDesign to format projects with a lot of text and make booklets and long-form text look good and professional. I find it easy to manipulate, and I like how customizable it is, from page size to toolbars. I can change the toolbars to fit my needs. It pairs nicely with Illustrator and makes my work look more professional. I love the text-linking options, dropping pictures into boxes, and being able to format things with a button click. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Adobe InDesign's user interface easy to use, which is the aspect I like the most. It's also an easy-to-learn program, making it accessible for novice designers like myself. Compared to Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign offers a much easier-to-navigate environment and has a lower barrier to entry, which simplifies graphic design for those who are new to the field.

Sometimes there are elements that just don't work as well, like things snapping when I don't want them to snap. There are also certain guardrails in place that can be annoying and some of the image placement frames were not as well thought out. They're easy to fix, but I would do things differently with that.
