### "The Adobe CC is THE place for creative discovery and creation"

August 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

The Creative Cloud includes a plethora of different applications designed to helping hyou create content using technology. Computer based, there is Premiere for Video Making, Photoshop for picture manipulating, Lightroom for picture editing, and much much more. For any creative minds, there is something here for you and more.

Cons

The pricing of the yearly subscriptions for the Creative Cloud is expensive for a single user seeking to have all of its amenities. It's tough to share your subscription content as well as it's limited to a single person, making the price have to be justifiable.

### "Adobe Creative Cloud Review "

October 19, 2022

4.0

Pros

Again, a collection of creative programs that changed the icon with an update. No outline, bold, clean icons, I like it a lot. The interface is useful.

Cons

It is a program with prices that are not suitable for amateur users, at least in terms of turkey. Maybe not money for professional workers, advertising agencies, but expensive for those who do not make money from applications, and moreover, it is somewhat unnecessary. For example, photoshop + lightroom packages are expensive for amateur photographers. It is possible to subscribe to 3 of netflix-like platforms for this fee. If you are not doing big work, there are free photoshop alternatives on the market and they work. Besides, as others have mentioned, unsubscribing is not easy. While I was leaving, I had to chat with the foreign officer for a long time. I finally succeeded, but the lack of proper support in Turkey is also an important shortcoming.

### "The most powerful creative software on the planet"

September 12, 2019

5.0

It is the most powerful, most convenient solution to all of my design needs.

Pros

I love being able to easily produce stunning designs on the fly using the entire suite of adobe programs. Having the applications so well integrated together allows me to seamlessly produce top tier designs for my clients. I also love being able to access the programs from any computer.

Cons

I find the cost to be a bit more expensive than the price of older creative suites in the past. I liked being able to buy the entire suite and having ownership over it. Subscribing to Adobe Cloud seems much more expensive in the long run.

### "Adobe Creative Cloud Keeps Me Current"

January 21, 2021

5.0

I create and edit projects quickly in Premiere and export at the quality the job requires effortlessly. When a video edit requires some audio sweetening I can send the clip to Audition and tweak it there without having to export the file and then re-import and sync it up. As I recently discovered the same is true for sections where After Effects is required to get the result I desire. One other thing that is absolutely brilliant is that with Media Encoder, I can export multiple versions in multiple formats while still working in Premiere...I just set it up and it does the work for me in the background. That's a HUGE time saver.

Pros

Having access to the most recent versions of all the Adobe Products I use regularly PLUS being able to experiment with other Adobe Products as I choose to. Not to mention cross platform compatibility.

Cons

It's hard for me to get all of my clients on board with using this product if they aren't full-time creators, because of the cost, so I have to use other products (mostly freeware) which I am not as familiar with.

Reason for choosing Adobe Creative Cloud

The new version of Final Cut Pro was not compatible with previous versions, I had experience with Adobe before my Apple journey and I like to be able to work with as many other users as possible.

### "An creative account all designers, creative professionals must must have."

March 28, 2019

5.0

My overall experience has been nothing but great. Our whole startup practically runs on creative cloud. We are specially impressed with the cloud space they provide along with libraries. And the ease it is not to collaborate between multiple designers of firm using same elements. I dont think any creative agency can survive now without creative cloud. It is almost like 'Google it' instead of 'search on web' for creative professionals.

Pros

The number of tools in creative cloud is just enormous. Collaboration from one tool to another is super duper awesome. Team collaboration over multiple creative cloud is great for collaboration.

Cons

Pricing is expensive. Not for every beginner or Startup.

### "Nothing better for digital media pros"

January 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

The Adobe CC suite is the best collection of software for visual designers, UX designers, photographers, videographers—anyone in digital media. There are so many programs to choose from now, and you can purchase all of them for a super low monthly fee. They recently started offering Adobe XD (for wireframing and prototyping) for completely free, which is amazing for people trying to break into design fields without a monetary investment upfront.

Cons

Some of the programs are a bit difficult to learn. However, with a lot of practice and watching tutorial videos, you'll get better and better at using the tools. The Creative Cloud also offers a portfolio site, Adobe Portfolio, that pulls your project uploads directly from your Behance profile. That's very time-saving and efficient for designers who want to showcase their work online, but not spend hours building and maintaining a portfolio.

### "What would I do without Adobe Creative Cloud?"

January 28, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with Adobe CC is that it's what I've been missing all my life. I have not even tapped into most of what each app is capable of doing and I like that I have room to grow in Adobe CC.

Pros

What I like most about Adobe Creative Cloud is that there is almost nothing one cannot do in it. My only limitation is my imagination.

Cons

What I like least about Adobe CC has been addressed. Most Adobe products (even outside of CC) are not something you can just wing it and figure out. There have been great tutorials available in the past, but now that they are built into each product, the learning curve is met with great support.

### "The Standard"

February 9, 2018

5.0

I have delivered on commissions, graphic novels, posters, business cards, postcards, and many other forms of media because of Photoshop. Without Photoshop, I would have made less than half of the revenue that I make from comissioned work, and would not have been able to pursue side projects.

Pros

Photoshop continues to be the standard around which all other apps are developed. Color converting is easy, and with the right graphics card, processes like smear and blur are fast.

Cons

The subscription price model. I remember being a student and buying Photoshop CS3 on a CD. I would not have been able to afford the current pricing model if I were still a student.

### "Creative Cloud is simply amazing! The entire Adobe software library for a low monthly fee."

March 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

Access to ALL of the Adobe ecosystem is a boon to any company. The licensing is simple, robust, and takes the headache out of owning the software. Document sharing, font libraries, and stock photography are all bonuses in an already incredible package. Software is still industry standard, and now any company can afford to use any of it.

Cons

Software is difficult to learn and master. This isn't necessary a bad thing - they should be complicated when taking into account what they can do. Each software has its' own way of setting up the workspace - which could prove daunting to some.

### "Everything I need wherever I am"

October 8, 2019

5.0

We as an agency are able to create our own graphics (business cards, logo, brochure) rather than out source these items. Our ability to utilize all the PDF functions has been helpful in doing our monthly required reports to various State agencies.

Pros

I have always used Adobe Products. I like that I can use Illustrator and Photoshop wherever I am working, at home or in the office. I also utilize a lot of functions on Adobe Acrobat DC that help with my ability to edit PDF's, make changes, add my signature etc.

Cons

I don't like that I cannot "pick and choose" which Adobe Products I want to pay for on a monthly basis. "package" deals are available and I find myself paying for software I don't use.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Adobe Creative Cloud

Primarily because many years ago I worked with Adobe Illustrator Beta version and have loved all Adobe products since than.

### "Creative Cloud is a struggle but no other product comes close"

April 5, 2019

3.0

Love-hate relationship. But there is no other product that does as much or has as many features.

Pros

While I regularly get frustrated I know that its under constant development and adaptation. For 90% of what I need it works quickly, as expected and with little effort on my part. The CC has many times saved my rear end by capturing documents and keeping them accessible when I am away.

Cons

The 10% of the time it doesn't work, I find it very hard to troubleshoot. Most of those times it is user error, or system errors but I don't know that for sure and finding online documents covering my problems are difficult.

### "La mia esperienza con Adobe Creative Cloud!"

July 29, 2023

5.0

Pros

La suite di Adobe è incredibilmente completa, con una meravigliosa integrazione di foto e video da stock, modelli 3D, texture, font e template. In altre parole, offre tutte le comodità necessarie per affrontare qualsiasi lavoro creativo, che sia il foto ritocco, il montaggio o la post produzione video, o la manipolazione dell'audio. I programmi sono estremamente versatili e oltre a fornire ispirazioni per nuove elaborazioni creative e tutorial, i loro formati si integrano perfettamente nel mondo dell'elaborazione digitale. Inoltre, la vasta gamma di plug-in disponibili aggiunge funzionalità praticamente infinite.

Cons

Il prezzo è un pò troppo elevato per un libero professionista che non abbia uno studio con dipendenti o altro

### "Centralized location for everything creative!"

September 22, 2022

5.0

I absolutely love it. I'm a lifer Adobe user. By lifer, I mean I've used some of their design products since 1999.

Pros

I remember 10 years ago when everything was separate... NOW, I absolutely love how I can go to one screen and quickly access and use all of my favorite Adobe apps. And if I don't have need of one, I can quickly uninstall it and reinstall it at a later date. I love this toolset! And the complex nature of these tools are getting easier and easier with each passing year :)

Cons

The Photoshop disk space error can be frustrating at times.

### "A Nice and Cohesive Ecosystem"

November 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

Once you have all your devices and account synced up within the Adobe Creative Cloud along with the different software, it's super nice that it's all connected and accessible from any device. As someone who is using the Creative Suite in conjunction with the Creative Cloud, I can't imagine using something else.

Cons

For any special projects that require you to not use an Adobe product within the Adobe Creative Suite, you likely can no longer take advantage of the Adobe Creative Cloud as well. But this just depends on the user and how much you plan on spending outside of Adobe products.

### "Nothing Else Like it"

July 29, 2019

5.0

We are a small team that has to create our own promotional material and with the creative suite, some generous guidance from marketing professionals, and the almighty youtube, we're able to create highly professional flyers, program graphics, informational brochures, small run books, and social media content. We're also just figuring out SPARK, which seems like it will be a HUGE time saver. We also love the free Adobe apps like Adobe Capture and use them often!

Pros

Access to consistently updated versions of all the Adobe applications make this high price tag (full disclosure, I'm talking about non profit price here) well worth it for our small team.

Cons

The price. But you get what you pay for.

### "Adobe Creative Cloud"

December 8, 2018

5.0

As such it is not an application that I use daily because I only use it to download programs that I need such as Photoshop, Illustrator Affter Efects, Etc.

Pros

Adobe Creative Cloud is an excellent service because thanks to it you can buy adobe programs for design and I like it because you have them all in one place you cancel the subscription and you are ready to download it according to the taste of the program you want.

Cons

I really like this application and I do not have any kind of complaint anymore with the simple fact of grouping all the programs and not having to download them from other parts or pages is a wonder

### "Industry Standard"

June 29, 2020

5.0

I had been a CorelDRAW user since v3.0 until I joined the corporate world and had to be proficient with Illustrator 9.0. It is use by more agencies, clients and team members than any other Illustration/Layout software by far. Once you learn the basics and more advanced features, it's very hard to beat as far as productivity, color management, and layout is concerned.

Pros

Once you learn all the keyboard and menu shortcuts, Illustrator and the CC group is one of the quickest design and layout software.

Cons

The 227.5417" square artboard for Illustrator forces you to scale large projects for final production. Whereas CorelDRAW gives you as much working area as you can manage.

### "All the tools I need in one place"

December 8, 2017

5.0

Great flexibility in software choice depending upon the project at hand.

Pros

I like the flexibility of software choices depending upon the project at hand. Likewise, I like to be able to collaborate with other graphic design firms and have a clear standard of compatibility across the board. Whether it is Acrobat, PhotoShop, Illustrator or DreamWeaver, the user interface is familiar and easy to adapt.

Cons

Due to the nature of the work the software does, it requires substantial hardware to function quickly and well. This is not a criticism, just an observation for anyone considering this software solution.

### "The best Design Software Suite"

March 5, 2019

5.0

Great experience, look forward to seeing what else comes from Adobe.

Pros

I love the user integration of this software suite. Copy/pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop is super easy. Illustrator is a super versatile software, I can almost do everything I need to design-wise, just in Illustrator. Looking forward to spending more time in After Effects & Premiere. Such a solid software suite.

Cons

I don't like the incessant updates. I oftentimes have trouble syncing up typefaces, even though I am logged in to my account. Kind of annoying. That said, I do prefer the CC option to the CS6 option. (I have both)

### "Versatile creative programs for teams"

October 29, 2019

5.0

It's been fantastic overall. I've used Premiere for 8 years and use Photoshop and Lightroom daily. Our needs are constantly evolving as a team so it's awesome to have a single subscription that covers 90% of those needs.

Pros

There's just SO MUCH you can do with this suite. In my role as a creative professional, I use several programs almost daily - Premiere, Photoshop, InDesign, Lightroom. They typically integrate really well.

Cons

I think the breadth of program options actually makes it a little complicated to fully utilize. There are SO MANY options that I feel like I might be missing some without a really clear roadmap for my use case.

### "Once Great, Now With Massive Caveats"

April 8, 2020

3.0

Again, the programs within Creative Cloud are less the problem than their pricing model. If they were to return to a one-time payment model, I would be much more ready to reccommend their products whole-heartedly. Otherwise, I might suggest trying to track down an earlier copy of Creative Suite that doesn't require Cloud connection.

Pros

Adobe Creative Suite was for the longest time, the best option on balance for an all-in-one creative software solution. My primary familiarity is with Premiere Pro, Audition, and Photoshop, so bear that in my in the context of this review. Most of the Creative suite softwares themselves are still fantastic. Premiere Pro offers some of the best balance between accessibility and feature set in terms of NLE softwares, similar praise for Audition, and Photoshop remains fairly essential in the realm of photo editing. However...

Cons

There's one area where Adobe has really become too big for their britches, and that's in their pricing. Ever since the switch to the subscription model with the advent of Cloud, Adobe has driven the cost of entry to their programs up to an absurd degree. It's disheartening to see once great programs being made untenable due to corporate greed. Not to mention, the whole fiasco with Mac OS compatibility that transpired last year.

### "Worth Every Single Penny"

March 5, 2019

5.0

There are very few bad things that I can say. The programs are great, I've never lost a document, and they somehow manage to get better with every update.

Pros

\- User-friendly - Automatic Updates - Includes all Adobe Applications - Perfect for people working in multimedia - Cross functional documents - Better alternative than purchasing a few individual apps - Incredible font library - Affordable, especially for individual employee licenes for business purposes

Cons

\- Can be hard to learn for beginners - Not ideal to create templates or working documents for the average computer user who don't have the respective Adobe app

### "Not worth it"

June 2, 2022

3.0

Frustrating. Please don't make your students buy this, they have so many other and better options.

Pros

The formatting of the software was super simple and clean so it was easy to find things.

Cons

The monthly payments aren't worth this software considering the amount of times it crashed, features wouldn't work, and ultimately to navigate this with ease you would need to buy a book or take a course on how to use it.

### "A powerful set of tools"

March 1, 2021

5.0

The great thing is to have all the softwares that are connected together, so you can work on one then change for another without any problem. Photoshop was the most powerful tool for photo edition... and still is, I've tried many other editing softwares but no one was as good. It's so great to work in bulk with it, you can modify 100 pictures in few minutes with this feature.

Pros

As a designer and Youtuber, I've been using Adobe for over 25 years, and I use lots of the tools in Adobe Creative: Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Dreamweaver, Media Encoder, After Effects, Audition, etc... The tools are easy to manage and you find easily some tutorials within the softwares but also on Youtube. They are super powerful and enables me to achieve professional results.

Cons

When using Adobe Premiere Pro you need a strong computer , especially if you are making 4K videos.Same thing for Adobe Effects. Some results on Photoshop are not super great on complicated subjects (like for example the content aware filling). The subject selection can be improved...

### "It's a shinny day with Cloud"

December 12, 2019

5.0

It's great, i use it every day. Keep in mind that it's very dependent from your internet connection and if that fails you'll be in troubles.

Pros

Cloud is the key. Since they ended the CS's software and started to call them as Adobe Illustrator CC, Photoshop CC everything changed. At first, it wasn't the big deal, you could save your files like you do in Dropbox or Drive, and they offered some assets for your designs, but not big deal. Now the game has changed, and those services have improve a lot. Also they offer a lot of services with your suscription that wort every penny, like the Typekit free font shop (i really love this one), the Adobe Portfolio that allows you to have your portfolio in a more profesional site.

Cons

This is hard, i'm a kind of Adobe fanboy, but i would say that some software feels old even in it's new versions, feel like they take the same time to do the job that the older versions, like if they're just change their clothes but not have a truly improvement from the inside.
