InDesign offers fine control over layout, spacing, alignment, and typography, which is ideal for designing professional-level documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it's powerful, mastering InDesign can be difficult for beginners due to its extensive features and interface complexity. Even seasoned designers may take time to discover some hidden or less intuitive tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Given its wide variety of features, I like the breadth of projects that can be developed using InDesign from newsletters, release notes, and guides to intensive graphics creation and editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a bit of a double-edged sword that the number of features can also contribute to a learning curve, such as when to switch between toolbars/tool types, how to manage layers, and how best to work with images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find InDesign very easy to use. The way images are linked instead of embedded into the file saves on file size. This also eliminates the need to replace any image contet if it has been revised in another program. Even though InDesign is mostly a publishing software, I have used it most often to create presentations for clients with easy to make layouts that look professional. I also will often use InDesign as a quick way to communicate and discuss changes or edits to designs (for example 3D renders), so there is an easy visual document, instead of just going back and forth in emails with attachments.

Of course the software has been updated many times over the years, but I find that I don't use any of the newer features. For me I just need the basic functions from version CS6 as crazy as that sounds. I feel the amount of tools and menu options has made the key features get lost, and I have to spend more time looking for the tools I really need. I also don't like how the color palette works. I would prefer something more similar to Photoshop or Illustrator as far as how to add and manage colors in the document. InDesign's way of having a default palette, but color chips that are not easy to edit or add to the palette is cumbersum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the fact that although there have been some great improvements over time, the general operating of in design has stayed consistent and the gold standard for document management. For an exact "feature" that I use regularly is the "find" feature, where I can use GREP for formatting and styling changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no downsides. (well I guess the fact that it is no longer a "purchase" rather it's a membership). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the best about InDesign, the combination of advanced tools for typography, grids, and alignment makes it easy to create professional, polished designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about InDesign While the basics are easy enough to pick up, navigating through complex functionalities can be challenging for beginners. Another downside is the subscription model, which can be expensive for casual users or freelancers who don’t need it frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Adobe InDesign since it was rolled out as a replacement for Adobe Pagemaker. I've been fortunate to watch the development over time, and one of the best things I can say about it is that it has become easier and more intuitive to use. As I use it every day for marketing work, it's important that it flows well in our marketing workflow. The ability to have malleability through the multitude of features means that I can easily create for a variety of end users. In the end, this solves a lot of issues with regard to the continuity of branding and easily implements a consistent message across multiple platforms. It also integrates nicely with the rest of the Adobe suite of tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are few downsides to Adobe InDesign, but one of them is that it would be fantastic if they would have kept the ability to create a wide variety of digital publications. I do miss that, even though we use another software integrated with Adobe InDesign to achieve this. I can only imagine the resources Adobe could bring to bear on this, expanding the rich media communications we could offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
