It is one of the most feasible art-based platforms in learning and conducting Vector designs > > **Cons**: I honestly have few complaints. I am more made mad at Adobe for attempting to remove platforms like this ----- ### "Reliable vector design for print production" — 5.0/5 > **Sunil** | *20 April 2025* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Illustrator’s vector tools and print-ready presets are so detailed that it ensures signage designs will align perfectly for large-format printing. > > **Cons**: The software won’t work well on old systems, so if you throw big, complex files into its maw, it’ll slow down, which affects production schedules. > > It’s helped building our design-to-print workflow and reduce errors in color and sizing when printing client signage projects, and that has saved us time when we send proofs to clients. ----- ### "I have a job because of this product" — 5.0/5 > **Savannah** | *9 June 2023* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Illustrator offers the most design flexibility and customizations that I have been able to find in the industry. It goes beyond that Canva or other competitors will ever be able to offer. It is more work, but it is also the landscape in which truly original content can be made\! > > **Cons**: It's UI experience is not great. The format is not intuitive and essentially needs to be explained by another human being through courses (whether in person or online). > > I have spent years learning the tool, but now I can't imagine my life or work without it. ----- ### "Illustrator is a Masterful Software" — 5.0/5 > **Maria** | *12 June 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Illustrator has had several amazing updates recently, such as removing backgrounds, and 360 turnarounds. As someone who has to create CADs to show various angles of a product, these features are invaluable to me. I now don't need to switch over to another program to help sort these issues out, everything is easily accessible within Illustrator now. > > **Cons**: I would like there to be more dynamic and varied User Interface. I don't use shortcuts, I have them visually on my screen as layers, navigator, actions, transform, swatches, it easily takes up a quarter of my screen. I would like to have more options to arrange the windows and their sizes, instead of it being set as a bar on the right of the software. > > I use Illustrator daily for my professional work, and for my personal work. It is always dependable and accurate, perfect in how it works and delivers. I couldn't be without it, and I'm excited for new updates in the future\! ----- ### "Great software to use" — 5.0/5 > **Aneesa** | *4 July 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Adobe Illustrator is that I love using it, especially when I'm working on illustrations and creating icons. It's easy to manipulate and create. > > **Cons**: What I least like about Adobe Illustrator is that it takes a while for files to appear, it can overheat a laptop and it sounds like it's about to take off > > Overall experience with Adobe Illustrator. I love the software, it does the job of helping me create illustrations and icons. ----- Page: 1 / 348\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/222562/adobe-illustrator?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/222562/adobe-illustrator) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
