Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

Adobe InDesign is used by myself personally as well as our Marketing Department. As a property management company that pulls most of its marketing in-house, we've utilized Adobe InDesign to tackle the challenge of creating updated property brochures. These brochures are being used for leasing, brokerage service, and more. We use these for both print purposes and digital display. Adobe InDesign helps keep everything organized for multiple pages.
  • Layout design organization
  • Pulls links to avoid large file sizes
  • Easily adaptable and user-friendly
  • A couple crashes here and there, but this has more to do with updates than the actual program itself
  • Adds depth to our in-house marketing
  • Gives us the tools we need and ease-of-use to be more productive in our department
  • It's connection to the Adobe suite makes files easily transferable and dock-able to other programs
Adobe InDesign is, by far, the more in-depth program. Sketch is similarly used for layout design but honestly can't truly match up to what Adobe InDesign can bring to your department. It's similar, yes, but usability, intuitiveness, and capabilities are night and day.
While I've experienced one or two crashed, I can't fault the support team. I've had no other issues regarding Adobe InDesign, so I've had no real need to engage with the support teams.

Best suited for multiple document layout design. Less useful if you're using it for graphic design tasks. I've seen users get used to the layout and tools reasonably quickly and have then used it for basic graphic design. While possible, it is best suited for its original purpose--multiple page documents and layout design.
