Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Illustrator CC

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a graphic designer, I use Adobe Illustrator CC when designing logos. When designing a logo you always want the artwork to be vector so Illustrator is the best program for that. It is worth every penny spent and all the updates to the program over the years have only made it better.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Acrobat DC

We use Adobe Illustrator because we always have. It is my go-to program when designing logos or charts and graphs. I love how seamlessly it works with Indesign and Photoshop. Being able to work on my Mac and also send files to those on a PC is helpful too. We have had good luck working across platforms through this program. All the updates just keep making the program even better.

There has never been a question that they have not been able to answer. I like the help section and can usually find what I am looking for right there.

Likelihood to Recommend

We use Illustrator when designing graphics. It is not meant to be a design layout program even though some people do use it that was. Wonderful for designing logos, creating graphs and info graphics. I have been an Illustrator user for over 20 years and there are still things I am learning. They have great product updates and seem to listen to user feedback when adding in faster ways to accomplish tasks.
