Vector graphics software used by designers of all types who want to create digital graphics, illustrations, and typography for all kinds of media: print, web, interactive, vid

I like Adobe Illustrator because it's easy to understand and provides various options to design vectors and new logos. I especially appreciate the pen tool as it helps me create new things and it's vital for a designer who works with logos and vectors; I can't think of any better app for it. I love the 3D updates because they give a new style to my designs, so I don't have to switch to Photoshop for that. The initial setup was pretty easy, just a normal sign-in works!

What I like most about Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is how simple and user-friendly it is. I can create diagrams quickly without getting confused, and the drag-and-drop tools keep the whole process fast and straightforward. It’s also excellent for teamwork, since multiple people can work on the same diagram in real time, making collaboration smooth, efficient, and easy to manage.

Honestly, i think the template aspect has been the most valuable part of using Miro. The last time i worked an extended shift, i wasn’t going to start building every single layout for our board from scratch. Being able to pick a layout and then just begin was something i didn’t realize i needed until i had it. Everything we’re working on exists in one place - including links, images, videos, comments from other people and you can either share the entire board with someone or a specific section. As it turns out being able to direct multiple people to different areas of the same board is huge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about Canva is how it help me quickly create polished visuals without depending on a design team. In my corporate role I often prepare client decks, internal reports and quick marketing creatives and the ease of use makes this process very smooth. The ease of implementation is great since I can start working instantly from the browser. It offers a wide number of features like drag and drop editing, templates, brand kits and collaboration tools. Because of my daily design needs my frequency of use is very high. The ease of integration with cloud storage and sharing platforms makes collaboration easier. Also whenever I needed help the tutorials and customer support were quite useful.

It’s very beginner-friendly and quick to use you don’t need any prior design experience to get started nor do you need to expertise to be able to fully use it. The templates are a big advantage, you can just pick a template, make small edits, and you’re good to go, as I have to make a number of creatives so these come in quite handy. It also has AI features (like text to image, background removal and background editing), which help speed up work. Overall it is a really good tool especially for social media posts, posters, or basic creatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is how Recraft handles image-to-image generation. Since I need to create visuals based on real-world locations, it’s an invaluable tool for maintaining accuracy while achieving a modern aesthetic. It’s incredibly intuitive, and the fact that you can explore its powerful features for free is a huge plus for any creator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My favorite thing about Procreate is how easy it is to use and how seamlessly it fits into my creative workflow. I can rely on it for quick sketches as well as high-quality finished pieces, and I end up using Procreate at some point in every project. It’s also been consistently reliable for me. I’ve never run into any software issues that even required reaching out to their support team. Overall, it’s a great tool, and I’d recommend it to any artist.

Adobe InDesign is a versatile desktop publishing application that gives you pixel- perfect control over design and typography.
Adobe InDesign as everyone knows is a part of the Adobe Creative Suite, the best tools for all aspects of creative creation on the market at a reasonable price, and InDesign is in my opinion the best print/online publishing tool out there. I used to be an advocate for Quark Xpress, but InDesign has surpassed this software, its integration with the other Adobe Suite tools helps provide a seamless set of solution for my workflow. It is easy to use and intuitive to my needs, it has been implemented into my working practices, and I use it daily. Customer support when needed is excellent.

SVGator is an online tool designed to simplify the way you animate scalable vector graphics.
I like the fact that you can use SVGator almost like a video editor with the notion of keyframes and transitions. It reminds me of the old Flash timeline as well as the After Effects timeline. It's great for me because using SVG is very lightweight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’ve been using ChartDB as part of our workflow for around 6 months now, and it’s become one of those tools we didn’t know we needed until we had it. It lets our team instantly turn SQL schemas into clean, understandable diagrams, perfect for onboarding new engineers and planning database changes. We often share the ER diagram before granting access to the actual database, which really improves context and security. The live collaboration is smooth (feels a bit like Figma but for databases), and we’ve used it regularly in internal design reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Also listed in Customer Journey Mapping, Mind Mapping
I knew I wanted to buy SketchWow based on the promotions I received from the company. They were all made with SketchWow. But I foresaw a problem: I was managing partner of a New York advertising agency staffed with art directors and an art studio that employed 8 smart, talented people. It was my secret wish to have the talent to draw and sketch like those men and women.
But, alas, I'd never be like any of them. I'm "left hemisphere." Besides, they were at my beck & call to illustrate and sketch the decks we'd build for the agency's pitches.
So, what the heck, I bought and installed it anyway. Of course, it "sat" silent in my PC for weeks. But I came into the office (O often used as my "classroom") one day for the sole purpose of learning to use SketchWow. Ideas came to me, but a fully functional working grasp was elusive. Determined to learn, I kept at it, and by the end of that Saturday, I felt I "got it." I was able to use SketchWow! And I now use it for almost every pitch deck we make.
I've since "retired" but have gone off on my own. And I can draw/sketch/illustrate or whatever you want to call what the software does! (Can you tell? I'm very pleased with myself!)
I credit SketchWow with the way my pitches and presentations captivate the attention of my prospects and clients. And, as a result, the rate at which my new little one-man agency has grown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I handle many patient documents like lab reports, ultrasound reports, and discharge summaries. I use Foxit PDF Editor to open and review these files quickly. It is easy to use, and I was able to start using it without much training.
I often highlight important findings and add short notes while reviewing reports. It is also useful for writing online prescriptions and making small corrections when needed. The merge option helps me combine multiple reports into one file, which makes patient records easier to manage. As a medical educator, I also use it to prepare medical notes and mark important topics for teaching students. I use it regularly during the day, and it works smoothly with other systems we use, so managing files feels simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Sketch for its simplicity and lightweight feel, making it my go-to editor for vector images. Even though I'm not really an artist or designer, using Sketch is a breeze compared to Figma. I started using Sketch as a replacement for Fireworks, and I’ve stuck with it because it fits my needs perfectly. I appreciate how easy it is to access the basic tools for tasks like light raster image editing, editing SVGs, and recoloring things. Everything I need is extremely easy to access, which makes my workflow very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how fast and simple it is. You can open it and start making a flowchart or wireframe in seconds. No setup, no confusion. The interface is clean and doesn’t feel heavy.
It’s really good for process flows. I use it when I need to explain how something works step by step. The diagrams look neat without putting in too much effort. Alignment and connectors are easy, so things don’t look messy.
Also, sharing with others is simple. Just send a link and people can view or edit. For quick collaboration, it works well.
For straightforward diagrams, it does exactly what you need without distractions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the different color options in Sketchbook as they make me more expressive with my art and help bring my artwork to life. It's also great that I can use it across my mobile devices because a lot of other software doesn't allow me to be as creative. Plus, setting it up was very easy for me since I just had to download the app, and being familiar with it made navigating around it simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
