Excellent comprehensive software management tool

In the beginning, it took some getting used to because if the frequent changes. As Adobe became more sure of what they wanted it to look like and I adapted to the potential of more changes, we became good friends. Once I had some settled experience, I kinda looked forward to what the might have dreamed up next - if I wasn't in a hurry. Overall, I really like this product for what it is: A comprehensive software management tool.

Pros:

What I like most about Creative Cloud is that it is a fully functional dashboard. Every product is displayed with it's release and update status. You can update by clicking a button; it will stack updates and notify you when each finished. And, it has access links to Adobe Fonts and Adobe Images, which I find very useful for those times when in a project I just need that one special thing.

Cons:

I don’t know that I have a thing I like least. I have been using it for years and I am so used to it's seamless functioning that I don’t think about it any more. For me now, it’s more utility than application.

Best Creative Software Package

Adobe Creative Cloud has made my life so much better and easier. By bundling all of the software into one package it's easy to purchase multiple software at once and update them as once.

Pros:

It's the most affordable bundle of design, animation, web, photo editing and video editing software.

Cons:

Nothing. Not a single complaint. There isn't a single product on the market that competes with Adobe Creative Cloud and for the price it really can't be beat.

Reasons for switching to Adobe Creative Cloud

This option was cheaper and had other design and animation software included.

Pros:

Compared to downloading software via CDs, etc - this subscription has changed my entire workflow for the better.

Cons:

I cannot say enough good things about Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc - and it is incredible to me that I can spend all day in a program - every week - and still only be scratching the surface of all the cool stuff it can do! There are a number of tutorials online for when you get lost.

Great digital media toolbox with a few bugs

Creative Cloud gives me every tool I could possibly want, and the cross functionality is a nice touch. However, sometimes syncing assets will be a little buggy, updates seem to frequently break the apps, and it's a little on the pricey side.

Pros:

The amount of tools available to you in the Creative Cloud is great. You can do just about anything you need and more.

I've had issues with files syncing, it's rather expensive, and updates seem to always break the apps.

Reasons for choosing Adobe Creative Cloud

Affinity is cheaper, but I personally prefer all the features offered in the Creative Cloud.

Still, by far, the best software for graphic designers

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!

Pros:

How professional and powerful the software is and that it is all and mostly compatible software in one package.

Cons:

Adobe Illustrator is not working well with InDesign (for example when copying elements with gradients). 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).

Reasons for switching to Adobe Creative Cloud

InDesign, as it has way more options, plus Corel wasn't really tool for publications. Also, the fact that it is a whole lot of software and not one, also files in InDesign are taking way less space and it always saves backup (I have never lost what I have done when it crashed, and with Corel it happened very often)
