Lead Content Creator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Adobe Illustrator" May 8, 2025 5.0 I loved using Adobe Illustrator as my drawing and vector design software vector logos and shapes Pros Illustrator allows adding many artboards and color swatches, and it was great for crisp curves. Cons It charges expensive monthly pricing, and big files lag like glue slowing my Zoom moments, those parts I liked the least Review Source RV Roxana V. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Adobe illustrator Review " July 10, 2025 4.0 From my experience it has been very good, it is a very complete tool. If it is true that when they are very large files it slows down the program. It is a tool that you have to be constantly learning because it offers a lot of features. Pros It is a great tool for graphic design thanks to its vector creation capabilities, offering scalability without loss of quality and a wide range of design tools. Cons You must have a good ram memory in the computer to work, large or complex files can generate performance problems, such as delays or crashes, affecting the workflow and high prices. Review Source AI Alex I. Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Design Graphic " January 14, 2025 5.0 Pros I like how it offers incredible precision and control when working with vector graphics Cons I dislike that it has such a steep learning curve, especially for beginners. The subscription pricing can also feel discouraging if you only need it occasionally. Plus, it’s a bit demanding on your computer, so you’ll need decent hardware to use it smoothly Review Source VP Vanessa P. product designer Fine Art Used the software for: 2+ years ### "intuitiva e completa" February 22, 2025 5.0 Uso illustrator ormai da qualche anno e posso dire in tutta sincerità che, una volta compresi gli strumenti principali e le loro funzioni, è un piacere usare questo programma. Pros Il passaggio dal mondo raster a quello vector non è semplice, ma con illustrator si. Video, tutorial, icone semplici e interfaccia intuitiva sono le caratteristiche principali di questo programma. Cons L'unica pecca, se così si può dire, è la grande quantità di strumenti a disposizione, sarebbe bello se il programma permettesse di selezionare un'interfaccia semplificata per un primo approccio efficacie.

Pros A great tool to create professional designs. An ally of each day work. Cons You have to do a course to know how to use it. It is a professional design software not intuitive one. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) When I have to do graphics for videos. It is very useful. Review Source RN Rumbani N. Founder and Media Head Graphic Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Vector king" January 22, 2025 5.0 Illustrator has been tool of choice for most of my design work in the last 3 years. Once I figured my way around it, it's been an excellent tool for me. Pros The repeat feature is fast becoming my favorite thing. I also love the Asset Export feature. That is a game changer for how I export Logos and their variations. Cons I hate how bulky some of the designs I've worked on get and when the software means to crash, it crashes with flying colors. Switched from [CorelDRAW](https://www.capterra.com/p/124823/CorelDRAW/) Illustrator was just a better software for vector files. It was just much easier to get into and understand also.

June 12, 2025 5.0 Overall an immensely great experience, with a big speed bump at the beginning while you learn the icons, shortcuts, and workflows. Pros It is an extremely versatile design tool. It has everything you need to create not only great website design, but also amazing graphics. Cons There is an insanely steep learning curve. It's almost a full time job to keep up to date on all of the features that it has, as well as keeping your skills sharp. Review Source FA Federico A. OWNER Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "such a reliable tool" April 23, 2025 5.0 great, using it since 2012, its a gift for everyone who wants to create assets, composse pictures and prototyping Pros The abilty to composse pictures with fairly easy click and drag as well as editing Cons Somethings bug the soft really easy, like heavy files and tweaks such as previews, but it's ok.

Admin Assistant Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Industry Standard for a Reason" May 12, 2025 5.0 I have used Adobe Illustrator for all my graphic design needs and find it reliable. Pros Adobe Illustrator is super reliable and widely used, so it plays nice with other tools and file types. Everything you create is vector-based, so it stays sharp no matter how much you zoom or resize. You are in charge of the creative controls. Cons Sometimes you might encounter bugs or crashes, but it is typically stable. It is also subscription-only. Review Source PstM Paul s'halimon tonny M.

Lorsque suis passé sur pc c'était assez compliqué au début car c'était un vrai challenge car pas comme avec le smartphone, l'usage d'adobe Illustrator, savoir comment tempérer le crayon , les couleurs. Ça m'a pris presque 5-6 mois pour commencer à m'y faire. En gros , j'adore ce logiciel, en même temps ça m'aide à passer le temps et faire un de mes hobby Pros Large gamme complète d'outils avancés pour le dessin , intégrable avec les autres applications comme sketch ou les applications adobe Cons Nécessite un pc puissant assez pour l'utiliser sans problème C'est assez compliqué au début pour les débutants Review Source RN Rumbani N. Founder and Media Head Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adobe struck gold when they made this" January 21, 2020 5.0 After I started to understand how Illustrator works I loved it. I love what it can do. Vector images are a dream to work with I print projects. The times I've saved pdf documents from illustrator has made it easy for me to edit text by simply opening the pdf itself and it maintains for the most part the durability and being able to make raster images vectors has saved my bacon too many times. Pros The vast capabilities of this software is unmatched. It's relatively easy to use but the learning curve was steep. Very light on the hardware I must admit. Easy integration to Cinema 4D Cons The learning curve when I started using it. The rent-a-software type of thing makes this software expensive in the long run to use especially that it's not the only package we use. Review Source JB Jatin B.

Pros Banner, flyers, business card and website page designing are made easy with the help of illustrator. Cons I don't find much but I would suggest they add a feature for integration with Figma.

I would also say that the program integrates seamlessly with other Adobe Products and this makes my work as a graphic designer quite easy. Pros I like the fact that i can now be able t use AI directly inside adobe Illustrator.It also good that I can also be able to pick fonts directly from Images. I also enjoy the fact that I can now create 3D vectors easily Cons I think that the only thing that i do not like about Illustrator is the lack of a multi page editor, where i can easily edit test on one page and it will update on other pages in the same documents Artboards Review Source JC John C.

Head of Communication Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of Adobe Illustrator" September 1, 2024 4.0 My overall experience with Adobe Illustrator has been great. However, I notice that my levels of creativity are average, which means I take longer than necessary to produce a great graphic design project. Pros Adobe Illustrator is very powerful for producing vector graphics like logos that can be scaled without losing quality. Its tools are awesome, especially for a professional graphic designer. Cons Learning Adobe Illustrator can be steep for non-graphic designers. Those new to graphic design can be quickly discouraged when starting out. You need a lot of creativity to use the tools and produce awesome graphics. Few people have very high creativity. Switched from [Microsoft Publisher](https://www.capterra.com/p/233254/Microsoft-Publisher/) MS-Publisher was simply too limited for professional graphics for web and social media and print.

Pros Es un software que es muy útil para hacer trabajos como logotipos o diseños para corte laser, la herramienta de capas ayuda a diferenciar algunos trozos de otros en caso de tener varios niveles, facilitando la edición por capas y por vectores.
