Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Illustrator CC

When creating icons for use in a website under development, we were able to save a considerable amount of man-hours because we were able to create icons of multiple sizes in a single batch. Thanks to the shape-forming tool, which combines multiple shapes to create a new shape, we were able to create vector data of complex shapes.
  • batch output images of various sizes
  • Can create vector data by extracting contours of raster images
  • Data can be stored in the Cloud
  • Easy to use due to sophisticated User Interface
  • Every time an app is automatically updated, the pinned icon disappears from the Windows Start menu.
  • The font selection tool is difficult to select from a drop-down, as the display is too small.
  • High memory consumption and CPU utilization for screen rendering
  • Output multiple sized images at once
  • Store in the cloud
  • Create vector data by extracting contours of raster images
  • The average time to create a single icon has been reduced by 10 minutes!
  • Thanks to the ability to batch multiple sized images, the 40 minute work time was reduced to 10 minutes.
  • Advanced cropping functions cut the cropping time of collage images in half.
GIMP does not have a lot of reference information, so it takes time to solve problems. Illustrator takes less time because there is a lot of reference information on the Internet and in books. Also, GIMP does not allow batch processing, so the work must be repeated. Illustrator is very comfortable because it has batch processing, so the work is done immediately. Adobe appears expensive, but is actually cost-effective.

Would you buy Adobe Illustrator CC again?

Illustrator is suitable for batch output of images of multiple sizes or when you want to use advanced features such as AI. For example, we recommend it for creating icons for applications or banner images. Since it specializes in vector image editing, it is not suitable for processing photos. Also, the subscription is expensive, so we recommend other software if you want to use it for free.
