Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

InDesign is being used to create our publications. We have 2 designers using InDesign and 2 sub-editors. It is so widely used that all members of the team had previous experience with the software. This allowed the more experienced to teach the less experienced team members. We have not had any issues.
  • Most people have experience using InDesign.
  • Easy to implement across the business.
  • Adobe InDesign is an expensive product but a must.
  • It should be easier to open InDesign files in other programs.
  • Difficult to judge ROI as we can't operate without the software.
  • It does allow our team to be efficient.
Adobe InDesign works better for certain applications such as magazine production. Photoshop is also a product from Adobe so if you train your team to use one program it will offer transferable skills across both. Photoshop is better for other design works but InDesign is a must for producing magazines.
Adobe does offer support but most of the issues you have can be resolved through their troubleshooting page on the website: helpx.adobe.com. We haven't had to call for further support so I can't comment as to how they resolve any complex issues you may face. I rate this a 10 as we haven't had any problems with the support.

You really need all the Adobe programs if you are in the media world. Adobe InDesign is particularly important if you are producing print media. Our business uses the software to create and edit our portfolio of magazines across the horticulture sector. I would recommend Adobe InDesign to fellow media professionals.
