Likelihood to Recommend Adobe Illustrator is used to help make drawings look good but not make them. It is easy to add color or texture but it is hard to actually make the drawings in it. I would recommend using other software to make the lines for plans and sections and using Adobe Illustrator to make it look good.
Read full review Infogram is perfect for creating engaging and professional-looking infographics, data visualizations, and social media content with no technical knowledge required. I have worked with NGOs with no technical or design staff that need to get their message out there or raise awareness about something. Infogram is easy and quick to use and the results look great. Infogram is not heavyweight data visualization software, it's best for summarizing and explaining the results of data analysis to an audience or breaking down complex concepts to make them understandable to the general public.
Read full review Pros Vector graphics for scaling to large sizes Filling an object with a texture Easily adjusting and expanding an artboard to fit the size of the content (especially for infographics) Compatibility with other Adobe CC programs, but also exporting for PPT graphics Read full review It is specifically made for the creation of infographics and it excels in this field. It provides the novice user with many beautiful templates, easing the learning process. It integrates with many databases, making the infographic dynamic always up-to-date. Read full review Cons It's tough to master. If you haven't used Adobe products like Photoshop or Illustrator before, there is a lot to take in. It would be great to have some better options to preview the final product if you're creating a multiple page document. Better integration and pricing points with Adobe Stock for the useful stock images to complete your projects. Read full review I gave it a 10 for a reason.... Some graphs could have more features to change their appearance (but perhaps then it wouldn’t be as simple) Should have a better way to copy and paste to another app Read full review Likelihood to Renew While Adobe Illustrator CC is one of the only true design software out there, it really stands heads above the other products. It's clean UI and menu structure is easy to navigate.
Read full review Usability Illustrator has become easier in recent years to use with more intuitive tools and controls for them. Illustration software has improved but Adobe Illustrator has kept up and keeps the edge with its extensive toolset. Newly added collaboration tools with Adobe make it even better and the expectation is that is to continue.

The Adobe boards themselves are a fantastic resource, especially for resolving questions between new programs and iterative releases.

Read full review Alternatives Considered They complement each other, each with its own specific characteristics, but within a marketing sector, an experienced designer knows that the use of these tools in sets makes all the difference. It is possible to combine their uses and create really relevant materials that will bring a great return to the company and in the dissemination of arts with superior quality to the competitors
Read full review Infogram's most unique strength is its focus on infographics, providing a great number of templates and at the same time connecting such graphics with data sources.
Prezi is great for presentation, but it provides static infographics. Illustrator and Photoshop have some possible ways to integrate data into their graphics, but they are rudimentary compared to Infogram's abilities. Despite the huge power of Photoshop and Illustrator for creating specific images, Infogram is easier and more powerful in conveying data, making it the best option for infographics.
