Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

We use InDesign for all of our print designs/layouts. As far as I am concerned it is worth the cost. Brochures, newsletters, ads, designing for social media...Adobe InDesign does it all. We are able to design and then export in several different formats which is also very helpful to be able to share files with others. Also crosses from Mac to PC platforms with ease.
  • Page layout
  • Compatibility with other programs
  • Great updates to the software
  • User friendly. I was a Quark user way back in the day and was able to easily transfer to InDesign without training.
  • The picture boxes can be a little tricky at first but once you get the hang of that the features are great.
  • It pays for itself right away because it is easy to use and saves so much time.
InDesign is the best page layout program on the market. Honestly I have been using it so long without needing other layout programs that I would not even know what competes with it. At first I was hesitant about it now having to be subscription-based but that is actually a good thing because all the programs are always up to date.
I have never needed to call support. Through the HELP section and searching online we have solved any issues or questions we may have had.

Would you buy Adobe InDesign again?

InDesign is great for page layouts but not as great with designing for the web. I would say Photoshop would still be the preferred program for that. Great for brochures, ads, business cards, anything print related. We also use it to design for social media and can easily export those files as .jpg.
