Adobe InDesign Reviews & Product Details

Adobe CC is helpful for designers like me who have multiple niches in terms of media. It consists of tools I need for my everyday tasks for my different clients. You don't need to create an account for each tool, unlike other software limited to one function, because one account can be used across different platforms under Adobe CC, which is a time-saver for me.

Generative AI is not yet polished, especially when I use Photoshop. Additionally, there are no proper prompt guidelines on how to use it, so generating images inside Photoshop is kind of hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the extensive range of features available for automation, organization, editing and publishing anything from flyers to magazines. I can create large documents very quickly with Indesign. I have also integrated in5 in to Indesign and worked extensively with the interactive features to create a digital award-winning interactive college viewbook.

Indesign has so many features I have yet to use and might seem too complex to new users, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Number one the amount of apps you get to use. Next is being able to save everything to the cloud. That saved so much space on my laptop allow everything to move as fast as the day I bought it. The versatility is why I will be keeping my subscription Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least I would say is being able to find customer support. If you have a problem, its tough finding support, but after you do get a hold of them. They do get your squared away. It's Easy to integrate into your current work load and easy to use though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 like that there are some AI tools that kinda work sometimes. Adobe Express shows promise, if they ever get it to work right or expand it beyond hair salons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tools are always being "upgraded" to push aside the things you really count on in favor of useless things you don't need. It is so clear that new releases are based on the wet dreams of programmers and zero customer feedback. It is well known that customer service and support has been on the decline for years. OK, its hard to find good people these days. But I would prefer that they simply got rid of support instead of using these horrible people who lie to you and hang up on you and are rude and are not empowered or trained to do anything at all. Why waste my time and play games to anger me, just tell me to deal with no support. 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.

Adobe Creative Cloud offers an unparalleled suite of tools that cater to every aspect of the creative process. Whether you're a graphic designer, video editor, photographer, or web developer, there's an application tailored to your needs. The seamless integration between apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects streamlines workflows and boosts productivity. The frequent updates ensure that users have access to the latest features and improvements, keeping the tools at the cutting edge of industry standards. The cloud storage and collaboration features are also a huge plus, making it easy to work on projects from anywhere and share them with team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback of Adobe Creative Cloud is its cost. While the suite's comprehensive offerings justify the price for many professionals, it can be prohibitive for freelancers or smaller businesses. 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.

I love that I'm able to integrate each app while working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it's difficult to maintain - it's expensive for artists who don't have a business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
