Adobe Creative Cloud

Pros

I have a variety of creative assets in one place, music, sound, graphic design, video editing, 2D and 3D animation, digital drawing, etc.

Cons

I have no complains with the app. Everything is clean and useful.

Pros

What I like best about the creative cloud was access to the most up to date versions of art editing software

Cons

The cost as well as the fact that you don’t own any of the software and when your subscription runs out you are left without your work and software.

Pros

If you buy the Adobe Creative Suite you get all the apps you need for a fairly good price

Cons

You can't actually cancel your subscription at any moment, you'll have to pay a fine that amounts to a year worth of usage of the apps.
The apps crash constantly despite the constant updates, making it difficult to work with them and with a high risk of compromising the work you're doing if you make a living off of it.

Pros

I enjoy having access to all of the software I need for design projects.

Cons

I dislike that the AI features don't handle requests to add text to AI-generated images very well.

Pros

The integration of all my favourite pieces of software. Also how well they work together.

Cons

Sometimes some of the pieces of software can be buggy and you have to find work arounds.

Pros

The cross-functionality between applications is critical and generally works very well. For example, I enjoy being able to create pieces in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Illustrator and compile them in InDesign. I was just using the tools today to build a variety of print and digital pieces.

Cons

There are some silly quirks with the programs such as in Photoshop you can't paste the file path when opening or saving a file (they use an old file structure format), or in InDesign you can't export as an SVG. There are work arounds, so the software is still useable as a daily driver.

Pros

I like how they have everything bundled in an easy to use, and the fluidity between users and teams. It helps us stay organized and allows us to work together seemlessly.

Cons

Some apps do have a steep learning curve and can look scary at first. To battle this, they have tons of video tutorials to use and learn along and from.

Pros

Adobe Creative Cloud has become a must for our photographic and video editing company. We use it every day and it's critical that we can use their features across all devices really easily. It looks good, works really well and have had no issues over the last five or six years we've used it. This is one reliable product.

Cons

The only feature that doesn't seem to work properly for us on the Adobe Creative Cloud is the RUSH mobile App. I suppose this might not come under the Abode Creative Cloud review but we've tried uninstalling it and downloading it (obviously through the Adobe Creative Cloud) and nothing seems to work. The issue is with the exporting feature within the app. It always leaves a green flickering line at the bottom, whether the video is old or new.

Reasons for Switching to Adobe Creative Cloud

Pros

I like that I can use multiple Adobe products for different types of projects I work on. I use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, and Indesign the most, and it houses all of these programs in one place.

Cons

The price is very costly if you are not eligible for any type of discount and since I don't use it that often anymore I cannot justify the price for the subscription every month.

Pros

With one subscription of Adobe Creative Cloud, you're able to save on the cost of having to buy separate tools and have everything you could want all at your disposal - including new AI features.

Cons

Adobe Creative Cloud requires a certain skill level to adopt and use on a daily basis. It's not necessarily best suited for the quick jobs for social media.

Pros

The sheer volume of creative tools offered by Creative Cloud is unmatched. As a design professional, I have seen the creep of secondary "free" design software entering the market. I have found none come close to the Adobe portfolio. Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign & Lightbox should be staples for any designer worth their weight. The new solutions offered with every update have been amazing as well. Recently the dimensions tool has directly impacted our time savings as we proof our customers.

Cons

Recently the separation of Pantone has been an ongoing struggle. Although paid solutions exist, the feeling from my team has always been the top design software should have the top color matching tools integrated as a standard feature.

Pros

I’ve been a user of all of Adobe’s programs for 10+ years. If you are a creative type, anything you need to bring your vision to life is within one of their programs. Photoshop allows for advance photo manipulation, Lightroom is great for color correction, and Premier Pro is great for videographers.

Cons

The price. If you are a hobbyist, the price can become a little steep at $59.99/mo.

Pros

The wide variety of products offered can be used in a varity of ways

Cons

The cost is just insane. Why not offer a 1 time payment for your product? Having to spend thousands of dollars in a few years of using the service is insane. This is why people are switching including myself!

Pros

Being able to have the products and my designs everywhere I go is a great asset.

Cons

It is pricey if your company does not provide it.

Pros

While there are other editing apps out there, Adobe Creative Cloud is the industry standard and offers everything I need to run my business from excellent photo editing software and the best software for design. I love that I pay for the entire suite each year and get everything for one price.

Cons

I don't love the annual fee as I don't necessarily need the update each year.

Pros

The most impactful features in Adobe Creative Cloud are the integration of applications for a seamless workflow, real-time editing capabilities, and the vast library of design templates and assets. It is generally user-friendly, but some applications may have steeper learning curves, especially for beginners.

Cons

Common dislikes among some users about Adobe Creative Cloud include its subscription-based pricing model, which can be perceived as expensive, and occasional issues with software updates causing compatibility problems or bugs.

Pros

I have all
The software in one place and you can store your documents on it.

Cons

It’s quite expensive compared to other solutions.

Pros

Creative Cloud has all the apps I need for my creative process.

Cons

We have been very happy with our Adobe Creative Cloud.

Pros

I'm a designer so I primarily work out of Illustrator. I've been using this tool over 10 years now and it's still one the best tools for custom graphics. It seems more economical to just pay for the entire suite, but I honestly don't use all of the tools within it everyday. I periodically need to use other tools like Photoshop to make mockups, so for me it's worth it to just have the entire suite handy. There is a comprehensive library of resources available within Adobe so you can learn how to use each of the tools properly and of course you can pick up on different tricks and hacks on platforms like YouTube.

Cons

Because most of the tools in the suite are primarily designed with trained professionals in mind there is a learning curve, so you have to be willing to invest time into learning how to properly use each of the tools. While Adobe is starting to offer more of the quick, easy-to-learn tools, the majority of the tools available in the suite require more in-depth training. So if you're not invested in developing a skill for the long-term, there are likely easier tools outside of creative cloud that you can use for whatever project you're working on.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Adobe Creative Cloud lets you download and control your Adobe subscription programs all in one place, making it easy to keep organized. You can also update the apps through the Creative Cloud and roll back to previous versions if needed.

Cons

The only drawback is that the programs can be a bit on the pricey side.

Pros

Super user friendly and easy to use - lots of good tools that make photo shop and graphic design easy.

Cons

Sharing and uploading larger files definitely slows down the app and my computer.

Pros

I appreciate that Adobe Creative Cloud has a comprehensive suite of tools that are updated frequently so I always have access to the latest technology for my creative needs.

Cons

Some of the tools have a steep learning curve which can be daunting for me to navigate.

Pros

There are a lot of options! You can choose various add-ons!

Cons

There isn't anything I don't like about this program!

Pros

First of all, the app is a bundle of software included altogether so it is easier to navigate through which software to use. For my E-learning education, I use a variety of software for creating content like designing logos, editing videos and photos and I always ultiize adobe creative cloud instead of opening each software separately. There are also updates rolled out regularly once you log-in to software so I don't need to update each software manually. I have absolutely no problems with the software especially what it comes to its performance. No noticeable bugs so far according to the best of my knowledge.

Cons

Sometimes, the software gets unresponsible (although occurs rarely), you can just exit it and reopen the second time to fix the issue. For the first time users, it can be hard to navigate through each of app's functions but gradually as time goes by, you will eventually get the hang of it so no worries at all.
