Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

Adobe InDesign is being used by our company to create brochures and a magazine. It is being used by our whole organisation but particularly in marketing, advert production and by content creators and editors. It is a create way to collaborate with the team and create impactful artwork. Our printers are happy to take our InDesign files.

Pros

  • Adobe is easy to use and taught at college level - everyone knows how to use it!
  • InDesign is the best programme to create magazines and brochures

Cons

  • I originally had difficulty in resizing the page size
  • The system can crash if you aren’t using the most upto date computer
  • Adobe InDesign and the full suite is expensive
  • Without the software we would not be able to create our products
We also use Adobe Photoshop to create artwork across the different areas of our media business. You can buy individual programmes with Adobe or you can buy the whole suite. We bought the whole suite and work across the different platforms depending on the type of work - Adobe InDesign is definitely the best software to create magazines.
We rarely need to call on Adobes support as we seem to have someone in the office that has come across and resolved any of the issues we face. This is testimony to the strong dominance of the product within the design world. We do have a support button to contact Adobe but at present we havent had to use this.

Yes

Did implementation of Adobe InDesign go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Adobe InDesign again?

Yes

Adobe InDesign is well suited to everyone and anyone creating magazines and brochures - I would not know where else to turn to create this type of document if it didn’t exist. If you are not creating printed documents you may be able to work with just Adobe Photoshop or a similar product.
