The quick speed of the software also makes completing tasks a breeze. > > **Cons**: the problem i tend to run into is performing a difficult task and the software can't support it, in the past i've had the file not automatically save and have lost a couple hours work because of this. > > Positive experience with easy to use tools and friendly, understanding interface making it a useful software to use for daily usage. ----- ### "The main vector illustration program out there." — 3.0/5 > **Clifford** | *21 February 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Creates scalable vector artwork, which can then be imported into a number of other software application applications. > > **Cons**: Overcomplicated; earlier incarnations of illustrator were simpler to use. Too many functions available that I will personally never use as an illustrator. Not happy with having to pay annual subscription fee. > > I’ve been using Adobe illustrator for decades; since the 1990s. If I recall they bought out Aldus Freehand which was a far simpler and in my mind far better vector illustration program; I really miss Aldus Freehand - then again I am very old school. ----- ### "Industry standard and pofessional" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 March 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an industry standard tool there are no shortage of tutorials available for Illustrator including a vast library from Adobe. Perfect for illustrations, logo design, pattern design or even animation - there is a lot you can do with Illustrator. > > **Cons**: Can be somewhat resource intensive, so you'll need to ensure that your system can handle it. Also the new interfaces can have something of a steep learning curve. ----- ### "The best vector design programme for creatives" — 5.0/5 > **Christopher** | *20 February 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe Illustrator is a great piece of software for any designer or creative. They keep improving the features and making it easier to create stunning graphics for your projects. > > **Cons**: I don't think there is enough type and paragrapgh style options available in illustrator. Hvaing more options available would be really helpful. I think some other features from indesign would be really useful in Illustrator. The ability to add columns and grids would be really helpful too. > > Adobe Illustrator keeps getting better. The UI is really easy to use and the properties panel helps speed up your workflow. I love the flexibility of being able to use artboards and all the tools they keep adding for editing shapes and strokes, like intertwine and repeat. ----- ### "We love Adobe Illustrator\!" — 5.0/5 > **Matthieu** | *4 August 2025* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lots of pro features, but still kinda simple once you get the hang of it. Great for clean visuals, and the color editing stuff helps a lot when you want more control. Switching between Adobe apps works super smooth too. > > **Cons**: It’s not that easy to learn though. Just ‘cause you’re good at Photoshop doesn’t mean Illustrator will be simple it’s kinda its own beast. Other than that, no big issues for me. ----- Page: 1 / 347\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1010286/adobe-illustrator?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1010286/adobe-illustrator) ## 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 | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
