Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

We use Adobe InDesign for all of our day to day creative work. This work covers print advertising, marketing and sales brochures, flyers, direct mailers and other supporting collateral. Using InDesign allows our designers the flexibility to use our standard templates for brand work and non template work that can be shared amongst the designers internally and externally. We can use the packaging to collect all linked files and fonts for external printing and for archiving.

Pros

  • Integration with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Integration with our project management and approval tool Workfront.
  • Share document layouts with others.
  • Minimal learning curve when moving from version to version.

Cons

  • The ability to have editors edit in InDesign directly and not have to use InCopy.
  • Ability to import Word files better to bring in the Word stylesheets.
  • Preemptive typing, similar to what Google does with their email client.
  • Using the cloud version has made it easy to load software for licensed users, saving time and IT resources from having to manage our licenses.
  • We can monitor and track licenses better, saving time and IT resources from having to manage our licenses.
  • Speed to learn for our teams has been fairly quick, allowing teams to use the tool to its fullest capability thus getting better return on investments.
Not fully integrated with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. We used Quark before we migrated to InDesign. Users don't want to go back, mostly because of hte tight integrations with the Adobe products. Even our freelancers and vendors use InDesign and would not go back to QuarkXPress. like I said the users like the integration between the Adobe tools.
We really don't use customer support, but gave a 9 only because if they can build a product this good the customer support must also be just as good. The online help has been our go to source, and the designers share tips and tricks amongst the teams. Overall very positive experience.
