Adobe Illustrator CC is industry-standard vector design software. It works well with our existing software.

I've been using the software since Illustrator 88. By now, it's second nature to me, so I can create artwork very quickly -- without thinking about the controls.

It's packaged with the rest of the creative cloud products, which makes it extremely versatile. When you get Adobe Illustrator CC, you get everything else from Adobe, as well.

Again, I don't have access to concrete numbers but it is a top-notch program and I'd imagine it could only have a positive impact on our sales numbers. This program allows our team to create, quickly and seamlessly, amazing pieces for our products/packaging

It's a constant need, but also a constant expense since it went to Software as a Service.

New updates add more functionality, so new tips and techniques are always coming out.

The load on memory can be difficult for some computers.

iPad version isn't complete and has a learning curve.

It can take some time to create complex graphics.

Not everyone in the department has a working knowledge of the software because of the learning curve.

We have great looking graphics when we use this software.

Makes it easier to manage the company brand across social media

We can create appealing presentations to clients, generating more projects

Allows for easy editing and customization of licensed vector artwork from any source, enabling our company to give the client an accurate art preview earlier in the process and save hundreds of man hours per project in art asset creation

Extremely low software licensing cost through creative cloud means the software is easy to maintain access to regardless of the scope or number of client projects that use it

Exposed students to industry standard design software (Adobe Illustrator CC)

Allowed cost savings with subscription option

I pay for the Creative Suite monthly, and it's great for me, but I also am in the hole for subscribing monthly. It's a boon and a curse.

Illustrator is super necessary for my line of work, so for me, it's essential and helps me become a better professional.

It gives us an edge in graphic design over creatives who don’t have it, so we can charge more.

It works well with other Adobe products which saves us time.

Being packaged with CC makes it a no-brainer - as a web designer who does logos, corporate apparel and video production there's really no comparison to Adobe Creative Cloud (positive).
