Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

I use InDesign for a variety of publication designs for clients. As a graphic designer I'm asked for things like business cards, flyers, brochures, documents, letterheads and even books. InDesign makes designing and editing these documents very easy. With features like character and paragraph styles I can make quick edits to entire documents that affect every part without having to make dozens of small edits.

Pros

  • Design
  • Publication
  • Automation

Cons

  • Price
  • Integration with other apps
  • Text frame options
  • Speed - I can complete projects quickly
  • Efficiency - I can make projects easier for myself to edit in future
  • Quality - the exported files are excellent quality when printed
I've been using InDesign for over 10 years now and I sometimes feel like I'm only scratching the surface with some of the things it can do. The interface is similar to other Adobe software so if you're familiar with one you can start to pick it up easily, but there are a bunch of features that I feel are difficult to remember how to do so I find myself constantly googling how to do something that I know is simple but is buried in menus somewhere!
InDesign's real benefit is it's integration with the other Adobe products, allowing you to work fairly seamlessly with multiple types of design file on a project. The creative cloud allows you to store and use assets quickly and efficiently on multiple projects and really speeds up my workflow as I dont have to take time to find a logo or colour for a new design for a client I work with frequently.

Do you think Adobe InDesign delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Adobe InDesign's feature set?

Yes

Did Adobe InDesign live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Adobe InDesign go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Adobe InDesign again?

Yes

Adobe InDesign would be well suited to all things publication. If you're a designer that designs anything for print then a software like this is a must have and InDesign is one of the best, especially if you use other Adobe products and they work seamlessly together. It's not so good for raster based design work but the assumption would be that if you have InDesign you also have photoshop and can use them both in tandem.
