What do you like best about CorelDRAW?

Its very fast in terms of productivity. You have every tool available on sight in the UI and it requires few clicks to accomplish actions. Also its a very global-compatible program, since it exports to virtually every extension needed for graphic design and print. I have worked with it for years and it is still much easier and faster to learn than the industry giant Adobe Illustrator.

Its also a light program that wont take much on your computer,s Ram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CorelDRAW?

In some versions, the conversion of pds drop shadows come out clunky, but i have worked with corel to its x5 version and i am sure they must have fixed it by now.

Also, some neutral gradients tend to show the color steps.

The worst part really is that its behind Adobe Illustrators grandeur, making it a not so used program in companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CorelDRAW:

I recommend it if you are a freelancer. Now if you work for a company, best to learn Adobe Illustrator, since it is the mainstream.

As a freelancer, Corel can get your work done double time though, with its fast UI and easy learning curve. Plus you can export anything to use on a post Illustrator file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CorelDRAW solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cant really say i had business problems with Corel Draw.

Now for benefits, the best one is reliability and fast work delivery when you are tight on time. The productivity of Corel is way higher than most vector programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
