June 21, 2018 5.0 Pros I love that all my files can be saved outside of my computer, so my team can access files from anywhere. Cons There are a lot of features and i haven't learned them all yet. And once i start to learn it, Adobe comes out with something new that I have to learn all over. Review Source CM Chris M. Founder Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Issues and Not Worth the Money" June 3, 2019 2.0 Horrible. Functions change constantly and I have to relearn to do things that I've done for years. Then, as soon as I learn a work around, it changes yet again! Outrageous for the money paid every month. Pros It does what I need it to do most of the time....but!!!! Cons Every time it updates the functionality changes so I have to relearn how to do a specific operation. For example, if I want to replace a sky (something I've been doing for years with CS4) I'll be able to do it for a while then suddenly I cannot do it any more. Same with cutting and pasting. When I had the CD, nothing changed. With the creative cloud you have to constantly relearn basics. Also, many times a certain function will not work unless you reboot your computer. Finally, as an artist I find it vile that they charge you every month and make millions more than they really need. Review Source RM Robert M. Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "You get EVERYTHING!" February 16, 2021 4.0 Overall, it's an invaluable tool as a Graphic Designer. I can easily make back the monthly payment in a single job or two. Pros I really enjoy having all of the Adobe products available and up-to-date at all times. The ability to open Creative Cloud and manage my installs is very nice, too. Cons The login reminders to access your Adobe apps can be frustrating, especially when the same prompt appears multiple times in one day and will, at times, asks for 2-step verification to make sure you are the authorized user. Reason for choosing Adobe Creative Cloud I have been using Adobe products for 20+ years. Even at the top of the industry, they never fail to innovate and keep their programs cutting edge.

September 30, 2019 5.0 Overall the years I have trained myself with these software Pros With al the programs you have you can make amazing artwork, video's and more experiences and knowledge Cons Sometimes the programs crash and you lose alot of stuff or it gets corrupted and then you'll have to start over again Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Marketing & Events Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential part of any creative team." June 5, 2018 5.0 Pros Variety of programs available for use. Whatever creative task you have, there is always an Adobe CC app that will help you accomplish it beautifully. Cons Sometimes InDesign will quit randomly in the middle of a project, and I haven't been able to identify the trigger. Review Source AF Andrew F. Director of Creative Services Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This is the go to application for anyone in the creative industry." December 5, 2017 5.0 I would absolutely recommend this application to all levels of creative disciplines. It has the opportunity to be a game changer in any industry. Pros I love the integration between applications. I can start in Illustrator, and move vector images directly into Photoshop. The same can be said with all of the Adobe products. These are top notch creative applications that have an answer for any problem I'm looking for. They've also grown along with the industry, keeping me well armed for any project that comes my way: website, email, animation, print, video, etc. Cons I did prefer the single purchase model over the monthly, but ultimately my company pays for it, so I don't feel the costs. Review Source Kyle W. UX Designer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "More features than most people probably need" July 20, 2019 4.0 I’ve been using Adobe software for over a decade, but I increasingly find myself using non-Adobe tools because there are so many alternatives out there nowadays that are cheaper, easier to use, and don’t require me to subscribe to an entire bundle of software that I don’t really need. Pros You get SO much high quality, industry standard software - from film editing tools to 3D modeling to audio engineering software. Such a robust suite of tools for creatives. Cons It’s really un-intuitive for beginners. You’ll probably have to take multiple online classes to start getting it down. There’s also a good chance you’re paying for way more software than you actually need each month. Review Source SH Scott H. Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The central hub of everything you need to design" March 18, 2021 5.0 Though Creative Cloud is expensive, you simply can't be a professional designer without it. The Creative Cloud hub itself is a largely unobtrusive and elegant solution that provides good service for your Adobe products. Pros Creative Cloud was quite an adjustment for me as a user of the Adobe Creative Suite for over a decade, but it's a very slick and well-made hub for everything you need to design. Its updates are usually unobtrusive and handled in the background and I'm especially impressed with its stock image and font capabilities. Cons On macOS I'm a little weirded out that it's not on the bottom taskbar like other Adobe programs, but instead it's in the top right panel like volume or Bluetooth. Review Source JM Justin M. Director of Marketing Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Creative Cloud is great for making sure my applications are updated" January 2, 2019 5.0 Creative Cloud is a necessity for anyone who uses Adobe applications. It allows me to keep Photoshop and Lightroom constantly up-to-date so I don't miss out on new features or security patches. It also makes it easy to find out about new applications that I did not now about and even install them right from the program. Pros Adobe Creative Cloud makes it incredibly simple to keep my Adobe applications updated. I use Photoshop and Lightroom extensively , and I like to be notified when there is an update available. Creative Cloud also makes it easy to find and install other Adobe applications. Cons Sometimes when I clear the notifications, they do not go away. It would be helpful if that part of the program was more intuitive. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing and Membership Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User-friendly interface with superior graphic capabilities." February 1, 2018 5.0 Pros Affordable access to the latest versions of graphic design software, enabling user to easily maintain access to updates and new versions. Cons Can only subscribe to full array of programs--would be nice if you could subscribe only to the ones you actually use and need. Review Source GS Greg S. Sr. Scientist Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We Live in a PDF World" May 3, 2019 5.0 Now that I have the full suite, I am regularly using the PDF editor, PhotoShop, and Muse to design, create, print, and share my documents. This is helpful having all of them at my fingertip, anywhere on any computer. A subscription based service also insures that you have the latest software and also cuts down on the sticker shock of buying all the tools outright. Pros I get PDF forms almost everyday, and having a full Adobe suite to work with files is indispensable. Although I rarely create my own PDF forms other than saving to that format from Word, I do modify other PDFs constantly. Having all of Adobe's features to edit, modify, resave, etc. gives me full control over my work and documentation. Cons I wish there was quicker help sources for getting the software to do what I want. With such a feature rich platform, there are bound to be times when you don't know or remember the button sequenec to get to the tool you want. I rely on the search and index help section, but just as often online videos. What about a button to take me immediately to online tutorials? Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Producer Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Adobe Creative Cloud is Essential" November 15, 2022 5.0 In media production, Adobe Creative Cloud is incredibly essential and you can not replace it with any other creative productivity suite. Pros Adobe Creative Cloud makes creative collaboration easier than ever. I can easily share projects with colleagues, use templates created by others and switch between different Adobe Creative apps to finish a project. Cons Adobe is expensive but you absolutely get what you pay for Review Source Bethany G. Communications Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must-have for most businesses" August 28, 2019 5.0 We use Adobe Creative Cloud to make presentations, marketing materials, print and digital ads, social media posts and more. It's helpful for all of us within the agency to use the same tool and to have the ability to download the latest version as needed. Pros I love how you can use the different apps provided by Adobe Creative Cloud to create and manipulate images as needed for social media posts, marketing materials and branding projects. The ability to download software from online is very helpful as well! Cons There's definitely a learning curve, and I wouldn't say the Adobe Creative Cloud is exactly intuitive. It can take time to learn how to do what you need to do. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Media Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Creative Cloud provides all the tools I need for graphic design" December 8, 2017 5.0 Pros I like that all of the features I need for web, print, digital, email design and more are in one package, and all of the tools work together. Cons What I like least is that the only option is subscription, you can no longer buy the software and update when you desire. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Creative Director Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Software suite used everyday to create professional marketing materials" March 2, 2018 5.0 Pros The creative cloud does not restrict you to only using one Adobe design program. You can design without limiting your creativity. Cons Some updates remove saved preferences and take a moment to gather your bearings. Software help function can sometimes be cumbersome.

MLO Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Creative Cloud Review " January 16, 2023 5.0 The Adobe Cloud programming has been zenith to making advanced media which tempts clients to shop at my business. It additionally has been perfect for planning and altering work of art and photos for my families home. I have likewise utilized it to plan introductions I utilized while in school. It is my workhorse for efficiency, plan, and creation! Pros One can get to any program they might have to play out any imaginative work or task in one spot. There is an expectation to learn and adapt to utilizing the projects yet inevitably it turns out to be natural as you use them consistently and your work is raised to inconceivable levels when you do. Cons the way that it has such a large number of choices, begins hardships in learning and knowing how to utilize and where to track down every one of the elements Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Mortgage Loan Assistant Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use it to edit my pictures and videos for clients." July 13, 2018 5.0 I use it daily to edit photos and videos. Pros I love the software. It's easy to use (after the learning curve), and it's the gold standard for photo and video editing. Cons It could run better. It's a very graphic intensive program, but I wish it would run better on older machines. Review Source Hossain R. Student Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Software bundle in The world" June 21, 2019 5.0 Overall I think its best for Who wants to create a career at Graphics designing, video editor, Photographer and even Who wants to learn some skills With these tools. and also I think its too much expensive for a beginner. And i use it everyday. Pros I like the things That provide Adobe CC. I'm also an Adobe Inc. Expert, So I know that Adobe software is the most useful and very popular tool to ART industry Cons The software is too large and it's hard to run on low build systems Review Source Kassie C. LCSW Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "You are never without" December 26, 2018 5.0 Pros When using Adobe Creative Cloud, you are never without the ability to access your documents from any location and any computer. Whether I'm in my office or at the beach, using my desktop or an iPad, I have full access. This is a level of freedom that few software programs can offer you. Cons I would like to see it a little less expensive, but I understand you get what you pay for and it honestly is worth the price. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect tool for marketing teams" February 12, 2019 4.0 Pros It covers nearly EVERYTHING and you can use the tools on two devices parallel. Cons The single tools are not very easy to learn, but if you are familiar with Adobe tools everything will be fine. Furthermore, it can be a bit pricey if you do not use the tools a lot. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A must have for marketers" November 21, 2018 5.0 Adobe Creative Cloud offers access to great apps like Photoshop, Acrobat and After effects. With access to multiple devices you can't go wrong with Adobe CC Pros Access to a number of apps for graphic design, video editing and document creation. CC lets you use your programs on multiple devices. A must for people on the go. A central hub that alerts you on updates but doesn't install them until your ready. Cons No complaints with Creative Cloud, I love it! Review Source AW Alisha W. Marketing Coordinator Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Platform for Creating Anything Digitally" January 21, 2021 5.0 Learning the different programs is one of my favorite pastimes. The videos are engaging and so helpful. If anyone is struggling to find work or a career field, I always suggest people learn the programs in this platform. It's almost like having a trade certification. Pros Adobe Creative Cloud is a must need for anyone who is in the digital creative world. You can create so many things and all the platforms cross over, so it helps you work efficiently. The tutorials and third-party tutorials provided are exceptional, if you have the time you'll be a pro in no time. Cons The software can be pricey for those on a limited budget. There is also a great amount of learning one must do to be efficient in the software. Review Source CS Cody S. Architectural designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Creative Cloud - Designers Basics" October 30, 2019 5.0 We use creative cloud for creating graphics, editing images, and putting together designed images and presentations. Pros The suite of apps offered in creative cloud including photoshop, illustrator, and lightroom are some of the best at what they do and include nearly all the basics needed for many creative design companies or individuals. These apps are the ones designers know and love and are well known and generally easy to use. Most of them are industry standards for image generation and editing. Cons Creative cloud packaged together the various adobe apps that used to be sold separately in part to lower individual program costs. There are now packages of creative cloud apps based on user type that seems contrived and over complicated when often only one or two apps are needed. In addition, while many of the apps have been around for a while, some of them still take considerable amount of time to master. Controls and commands are not always called the same thing or use the same symbol across different apps. Review Source Josh D. Digital Strategist Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adobe is the best!" June 8, 2018 5.0 Pros The Adobe Creative Suite is the best digital editing software that has ever been created. There is nothing that you cannot do with it! Cons The Adobe Creative Suite is very expensive. Their change to the pricing model, making it subscription based was not the best. Review Source Liz A. Marketing Coordinator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Creative Cloud Makes Everything Easy" September 12, 2018 5.0 Pros I like that everything is at the click of a button. Being a designer for almost a decade, the ease of Adobe products increases my productivity and stress. Cons Adobe has made it really hard to look elsewhere for programs... and you really don't own anything anymore. Review Source Similar Products Featured
