2D Graphic Design Software

I don’t have any major dislikes about Adobe Illustrator because it is an essential part of my daily workflow. I use it regularly for design projects, and it consistently meets my expectations. Overall, it has been a reliable and powerful tool for my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe Illustrator helps me create high-quality vector graphics for my projects, which is essential for branding, illustrations, and marketing creatives. The vector tools allow me to design scalable elements without losing quality. Although the built-in vector generation tools sometimes do not produce perfectly accurate results, they still help speed up my workflow. If the accuracy improves further, I wouldn’t need to depend on external websites for icons or other design elements. Overall, Illustrator gives me full control and flexibility in creating custom visuals for my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing major that I dislike about Miro. Sometimes when a board gets too big, it takes a little time to find specific items, especially if many notes are added over time. Sometimes I feel there are many templates and options, so I prefer to stick to a few that fit my work best. It would be nice if there were more simple starting templates for everyday planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Miro helps me put ideas, tasks, and plans in one place instead of spreading them across notes, chats, and separate files. This makes it easier to see the full picture of what needs to be done. I can quickly turn rough ideas into clear steps and keep track of what is in progress and what is done. This reduces confusion and helps work move forward in a more organized way. It also makes it easier to explain plans to others by sharing one board instead of long messages. This saves time and keeps everyone on the same page. At last, It helps me stay focused, plan work better, and avoid missing small but important tasks in daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven´t noticed downsides to Rebelle so far, I was worried about the performance on extra large canvases but everything runs smooth. (Notice: my PC has a ryzen 9900x3d, 64 Gb ddr5 6000 mt/s, an RTX 4070 super and Rebelle is installed on a SSD M.2 Nvme drive, but i do encounter performance issues on other digital painting softwares like CSP or PS when using huge canvas/resolutions and demanding brushes at big sizes) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love making digital paintings or drawings that look traditional and I always find flaws on the way it works on other programs, Like PS bevel and emboss function on custom brushes with various overlay and under textures works decent, but i does still look digital, plus it is quite complicated and consists of a lot of trial and error, fine tunning, very heavy files and dealing with lag. Rebelle solves that achieving way better results with no time wasted and 0 lag issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, it's too early to say. I've only recently started exploring Recraft's capabilities and I'm still discovering what it can do. What I initially perceived as limitations turned out to be deliberate design choices that reveal themselves as strengths with more experience. I'd rather not judge prematurely.

It’s hard for me to think of any real downsides to Procreate. The one thing I do wish it had is some kind of vector mode. I realize that isn’t really what Procreate is intended for, but it could still be useful in certain situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Procreate makes it easy to create digital artwork. It’s a useful tool for quickly getting ideas out and keeping momentum as I work. With Procreate, my creative workflow feels faster, smoother, and more streamlined overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it a bit overwhelming for my use. The first approach to SVGator is a bit overwhelming because you see the timeline, see the right side part, and there's a lot of information. So I think that some information should be hidden from the start if the user doesn't need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SVGator for creating small SVG animations for web pages, though it feels a bit overwhelming at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major. Early on, there were some limitations with schema filtering and support for larger tables, but the team has been super responsive and shipped fixes quickly. One thing still on our wishlist is better versioning support, though the current setup already works well for most of our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps us quickly generate and share clear ER diagrams with the team, which is especially useful during onboarding and planning changes. Before ChartDB, we’d waste time explaining schemas manually or digging through SQL. Now we just share a link to the diagram, way faster and easier for everyone to understand what’s going on.

Though there are great, detailed tutorials, I was late in finding them. But be assured, you'll find them with ease (pro tip: don't multitask).

I'm not certain this is a "dislike," but new features are introduced regularly—brilliant ones! I no longer have an office to drive to use to learn from the tutorials, but I typically have to reserve a Saturday to study the new ones. (It's worth it.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Snappa to create high quality promotional graphics for my institutional blog and dynamic materials. The speed with which I update content has had a positive impact on engagement and the professional image I project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, Sketch is a strong and capable tool, but it sometimes feels a bit behind when it comes to modern collaboration features. The biggest downside is that it works only on macOS, which makes teamwork difficult if everyone isn’t using a Mac. It’s great for solo work, but cross-platform collaboration definitely takes a hit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketch makes my whole UI/UX workflow smoother by giving me a clean, well-organized space to design everything. I don’t have to jump between different tools — I can create wireframes, polished screens, and reusable components all in one place. It keeps the process easy, fast, and much more enjoyable.

I dislike that affinity designer is a smaller plug-in ecosystem and fewer third-party resources compared to Adobe industrial operation is still limited. So file compatibility with some client can be an issue consideration features and cloud-based workplace are also wekaer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like everything about it. The only thing I've noticed is that the mobile version isn't as good, or I feel like it's a bit more difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can produce designs relatively quickly, without relying exclusively on a professional designer, and its learning curve isn't very steep, which makes designing fast, even if it's your first time using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LAYERS EXPORT:

I am a generation of MS Visio, but dropped it for EdrawMax. However, the inability to have layers exported as part of the PDF file is a big deal. It is always great for presentation purposes to toggle the layers on/off when taking someone through your chart. It would be tremendously powerful to have the option to export the PDF to include layers by default, with the layers fully having the same interactivity in the exported PDF as it is in the app.

GUI THEMES:

It would be great to have various additional themes in the app, allowing the user to have the customization possible in apps like PDF Xchange Pro, where the user can customize the GUI theme and colors to their taste. These are, however, not deal breakers for me at this port to revert to the previous apps for diagramming! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All my diagramming activities, from basic process flows and organizational charts to complex manufacturing processes, consistently deliver photo-realistic process flows that surpass my friend's expectations, leaving them amazed at the capabilities of the tool.

The software occasionally crashes when importing large PDF files, and I also experience crashes when opening very large project files. Improving stability for handling heavy files would greatly enhance the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use this for creating vector graphics and designing books, including projects with over 200 pages. I find it easy to use for these tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What could be improved is, like, the different brush sizes and, like, the usability, you know, because, like, I have to select from the brush sizes, and, like, that could have been more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Sketchbook because it integrates well with my tablet and mobile devices, allowing for more creativity compared to other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest drawback is the learning curve, which is pretty typical for advanced editing software. The interface can feel confusing at first, especially if you’re not used to Photoshop-style programs. Some workflows also aren’t very intuitive, and performance can slow down when you’re working with large or complex files. On top of that, when I launch GIMP, it often takes a while to load.

GIMP solves my problem of needing a powerful image editing tool without having to pay for it. It benefits me by giving me access to advanced image editing and retouching features without relying on paid software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
