My most important tool is InDesign, however, some options that should be there, are not (for example being able to engle rulers, something that I have been using in CorelDraw years ago). > > Overall experience is great, I mostly use InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat and Illustrator. I do use other functions as well so the fact that I have access to all software in the package is Fantastic. I love Adobe Fonts and since I have started using it, I am more efficient when picking fonts. Overall if you are a designer, these are your tools\! ----- ### "Industry standard software for creatives" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 March 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Seamless integrations of all Adobe suite products makes it very easy to use and stay efficient during your design process. Being subscription based you are also always up to date with your software. > > **Cons**: The main downside is the lack of ownership - the subscription models biggest draw back is you risk losing access to the software and potentially stored assets as well when your subscription ends. > > For the sake of efficiency, cross platform access and always up to date software, we've found the Creative Cloud to be a vey worthwhile investment. ----- ### "Aimed at Pros and delivers." — 5.0/5 > **Phil** | *23 November 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Range of professional products. Advice be CS is aimed at pros and the quality of the apps is first class. > > **Cons**: Pricing changes. I get they have to charge a certain amount but it’s just got rather pricey. They also don’t warn you which is a bit naughty. > > Wouldn’t dream of using any other platform. Creative suite has so many great apps and they keep getting better. ----- ### "It’s pretty pricey" — 5.0/5 > **Rebecca** | *22 March 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: the options for storing files are flexible and I can install and uninstall every app when it bug > > **Cons**: Adobe Creative can be pretty pricey, it seems too expensive for every plan, does not offer any free plan > > I can achieve a multitasking effect by using many apps. It provides access to every Adobe app and manages them ----- ### "great but too expensive" — 3.0/5 > **Beth** | *15 October 2025* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is excellent if you're an artist or art student and need an array of programmes from Adobe for a smaller price than buying individually. There are just certain Adobe programmes, like InDesign and PhotoShop especially, which are unbeatable for producing creative assets. > > **Cons**: It's so expensive and unnecessarily difficult to get out of subscription contract if you decide its not for you. If you don't want to pay extortionate prices, you have to agree to much longer subscription where you're not able to get out of it. The adobe website itself is also awful and not user-friendly. It's really difficult to find your way around, see your account details and find the information you're looking for. Customer service is also pretty non-existent at Adobe. It's more difficult than it should be to find contact details and then its difficult to get a response. > > Love the programmes and Creative Cloud is a much more affordable wayto get access to programmes you need without purchasing individual subscriptions but its way too expensive and the customer service is not there. ----- Page: 1 / 295\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/48969/adobe-creative-cloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/48969/adobe-creative-cloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
