Adobe Illustrator Reviews

My main use case for Adobe Illustrator is preparing vector designs. For example, I designed a poster for our latest party using Adobe Illustrator, mainly I'm preparing vector illustrations for large print format. I have nothing else to add about my main use case or how I use Adobe Illustrator.

The best features Adobe Illustrator offers are that the nodes are much easier to use and they are more intuitive than they are within CorelDRAW. Adobe Illustrator's nodes and intuitiveness make my workflow smoother. When I am using Adobe Illustrator, everything is working, and when I need to switch to CorelDRAW, it is not as smooth as Adobe Illustrator.

Adobe Illustrator has helped with efficiency, quality, and collaboration. I have noticed all of the above.

I have no idea what could be improved within Adobe Illustrator because it is just working, and it would be nice if it still remains the same pleasant way of creating illustrations. I do not want to add more about the needed improvements and have no specific wishes for future updates.

I have been using Adobe Illustrator for about 10 years.

Adobe Illustrator is stable.

Adobe Illustrator's scalability is good.

I was not contacting customer support regarding Adobe Illustrator.

I was not using a different solution before Adobe Illustrator.

I find it hard to say if I have seen a return on investment with Adobe Illustrator since it is the main software for a printing house.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing reveals that the cost is high, which is the biggest downside of Adobe Illustrator.

I evaluated CorelDRAW before choosing Adobe Illustrator.

Learning and training new team members on Adobe Illustrator is quite easy.

Adobe Illustrator integrates nicely with other tools or software I use, as it has most of the integrations.

I manage version control or file management with Adobe Illustrator, and it is easy to keep files organized.

I do not remember how often I receive updates or new features in Adobe Illustrator, but the frequency is acceptable.

Adobe Illustrator handles large or complex files pretty well.

My advice to others looking into using Adobe Illustrator is to use it and check if it fits you. I would rate Adobe Illustrator a 9 out of 10.

I am currently working as a technical illustrator, so I will be using Adobe Illustrator extensively to create illustrations for my daily tasks.

In my current job, we will be preparing graphics for various automotive repair manuals using Adobe Illustrator, utilizing various features such as clipping mask, adding callouts, and also a few editing AI features which are now developed in Adobe Illustrator daily. It is a very interesting software that is greatly helpful for our daily tasks and also helps in reducing the repetitive work.

I have pretty much covered my main use case and how I use Adobe Illustrator day-to-day.

Adobe Illustrator has positively impacted our organization because the new AI features they have introduced greatly help us in reducing the repetitive work. It now allows us to implement a few automated steps which we usually do repeatedly in our daily tasks, allowing us to save great time and focus that reduced time into something more productive.

Using these AI features in Adobe Illustrator enables us to reduce around five minutes per illustration, and on a year-to-year basis, we will be creating more than 1000 illustrations per year. Therefore, saving five minutes per illustration created is a great time-saving achievement for us.

In my experience, the best features Adobe Illustrator offers include the ability to convert the output files into various formats such as TIFF, PNG, and also web page-friendly formats. From various tools, it will be helpful in utilizing the available artboard space in the empty file.

The file conversion feature in Adobe Illustrator helps my team by allowing us to effectively use the output file in the form of TIFF, and it greatly helps in converting the input files of various formats, either from 3D or some other snips into TIFF file very efficiently. Additionally, the output files extracted by Adobe Illustrator are of a very smaller size and lightweight, which is helpful for our day-to-day use case because we will be creating a lot of illustrations, making it important to maintain very smaller sizes to effectively use the available storage space in our network.

The current version of Adobe Illustrator has almost all the features we need for our daily tasks, but there is still some scope for improvement, as it can be made more user-friendly. Additionally, the AI features they have implemented could provide more helpful and interactive tutorial features so every user can learn these features effectively.

The needed improvements include making tutorials easily accessible in Adobe Illustrator software, and also ensuring that when we search for any particular help use case in the tool, we obtain the exact results we need, which can also be improved.

In terms of daily use case, Adobe Illustrator is meeting our requirements, and we regularly provide feedback options so that any bugs or issues can be resolved immediately.

I have been using Adobe Illustrator for more than four years.

Adobe Illustrator is very much stable in my experience, and its scalability is also good.

The customer support for Adobe Illustrator is greatly helpful, as the helpdesk is available at any time for any types of queries.

I would rate the customer support for Adobe Illustrator as nine.

In our current company, we have always been using Adobe Illustrator, so I did not previously use a different solution.

Adobe Illustrator is installed in our company system, and we will be using our company cloud.

These metrics related to return on investment are not provided by our company to us, but in terms of our daily tasks, Adobe Illustrator has greatly helped.

Before choosing Adobe Illustrator, we evaluated other options such as CorelDRAW, but ultimately, we decided to go with Adobe Illustrator.

On a scale of one to 10, I would rate Adobe Illustrator around eight out of 10.

I chose eight out of 10 for Adobe Illustrator because it greatly covers our daily needs, but I reduced two points due to the little bit of scope for improvement that exists, which, to be honest, every other product has.

In terms of governance, I think using Adobe Illustrator's AI features values the personal data of every user and individual, and it does not store any sensitive information in its cloud database.

The AI feature in Adobe Illustrator is still a learning model, so the first few initial results may not be as accurate as one would hope for, but over time, since you will be training the AI model, the accuracy will improve greatly.

I think the cloud provider we use for our company cloud is Microsoft OneDrive.

I would greatly recommend Adobe Illustrator if anyone is looking for a similar requirement.

I would advise someone considering Adobe Illustrator to go with the tutorials available in the tool itself to familiarize themselves with all the features available, as that will greatly help in their daily tasks to effectively utilize all the features available in the tool.

My main use case for Adobe Illustrator includes designing logos and tasks that require design work. Adobe Illustrator is a go-to software for us.

A recent project where I used Adobe Illustrator is a full end-to-end branding for a celebrity-backed restaurant located in Mumbai, India. We launched it, and it went viral. For the same restaurant, the entire design system, the logo, all the printables, and every single thing that required designs, including wallpapers, wall murals, social media designs, and everything else was designed on Adobe Illustrator, including a couple of design elements on the website as well.

For projects such as these, we do sketches first as stencils on notebooks and papers, and then we later get those onto Adobe Illustrator to convert our vision into digital designs.

In my opinion, there are innumerable features that Adobe Illustrator offers. For me, the most valuable features in Adobe Illustrator are the Pen tool, Shape Builder, and overall vector precision. The Pen tool gives us complete control when creating custom shapes, logos, and paths. The Shape Builder makes it easier to combine or refine elements quickly. I also rely a lot on artboards and alignment tools, as they make handling multiple layouts and maintaining consistency much easier for the social media posts that I need to make.

Vector precision and alignment tools play a significant role in my workflow. Vector precision in Adobe Illustrator is a big part of my workflow and is critical when creating logos or detailed graphics. I can fine-tune anchor points, curves, and paths exactly how I want. The alignment tools also save a lot of time and help maintain consistency across elements, whether it is spacing, proportions, or positioning across multiple artboards.

Adobe Illustrator has always been part of our organization, and everyone has been using it for quite some time. The change is noticeable mainly if you switch from another software to Adobe Illustrator, but that was never the case for us. We have used Adobe Illustrator from the start. The workflow changes allow us to be more hands-on with the software for all the design tasks we require, and it is very well equipped with good functionality. That is why everyone prefers Adobe Illustrator, as it saves a lot of time. You can work on multiple tasks simultaneously without needing to switch to different software.

For example, when designing for social media, the artboards save a lot of time by allowing us to create multiple layouts on the same canvas without having to create new files.

The only improvement I see is that Adobe Illustrator sometimes crashes, and even though we save our workflow, you cannot keep saving every second. They can optimize it to minimize these crashes.

I have been using Adobe Illustrator for the last six years.

Adobe Illustrator is stable.

Adobe Illustrator handles larger projects and growing teams well.

We used to use Adobe Photoshop only, but we have now completely shifted to Adobe Illustrator.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Adobe Illustrator is very convenient. It is very simple; you just use Adobe Creative Cloud with a business subscription, and you deploy the software on all the required systems, and you can start using it.

We definitely need fewer employees because of Adobe Illustrator, but I cannot disclose any metrics or numbers.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Adobe Illustrator is very convenient.

I did not evaluate any other options before choosing Adobe Illustrator.

These features are sufficient to provide for this feedback call.

My advice for others looking into using Adobe Illustrator is that it is very simple to use. Just get started, and you will learn along the way how to use it. A couple of tutorials on YouTube are enough to help you get started.

I would rate my overall experience with Adobe Illustrator as 9 out of 10.
