I wouldn't use Microsoft Publisher for larger projects, this software is better suited to meet simple requirements. Definitely not a replacement design software for a professional graphic designer. It's also not available on Mac, which makes it tricky to collaborate with all members of the team.

I like how I quickly got the hang of it thanks to its intuitive and user-friendly interface. Its rich library of customizable templates helps save time and effort.

Cons

While its rich template library and user-friendly interface make it the perfect choice for small businesses and individuals, it's pretty basic and not meant for design professionals. If you're seeking advanced design capabilities, then you need to consider other powerful software. It needs a steeper learning curve to work with complex designs like other high-end software options currently in the market.

The premade templates make it a great tool and ease the workflow and help inspire creations.

The abundance of options makes it hard to choose and can be time consuming.

Files can be stored and saved in a variety of formats as per the company's requirements. Multiple people working on the same project can easily edit the document by giving permission to access it.

It is now outdated and replaced by better free online software.

Sometimes connecting text boxes gets a little confusing when the text extends longer than the box.

Pros

I'm not afraid to admit it, I still love Publisher and use it whenever I need to make up a simple poster or print out some images.

Word just doesn't work very well for these types of projects and Illustrator or InDesign is a massive overkill. In steps Publisher and you're done in minutes.

Cons

Sadly Publisher hasn't had much love by Microsoft for many years and hasn't really been updated in just as long. There's no AutoSave function for OneDrive and you don't get an X at the end of the file extension like its siblings, but it works and it gets the jobs it needs to do, done.

Microsoft Publisher needs to purchased with other Microsoft software as a yearly subscription with Office 365.

I've been using Microsoft Publisher since I was a student, so now that I'm in a professional role managing content for our nonprofit, I still default to it when Canva or other Microsoft Suite options aren't doing what I need. I can easily use all of the functions, it's very easy to troubleshoot, and we were able to get it at an unbeatable price.

It's certainly lacking some of the more refined features of other Microsoft software options but it's easy to take an existing design and make small changes without the most feature-heavy alternative.

Cons

It has become a little outdated since ther are many online tools that are free and integrate other tools that Microsoft Publisher doesn't have .
