I've used other vector based software, but they all lack the versatility and power features Illustrator has. > > **Cons**: Uses native apps that are quite expensive. Some may turn away from it because of its price. I think it could be a bit cheaper, but its a tool i need, so I carry the cost. > > I can only say it's been a huge learning curve. I'm still learning so much and Illustrator is a gift that keeps on giving. ----- ### "Good software for the day to day illustrate designer" — 5.0/5 > **Hayden** | *26 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The layout of the software makes it easy and rememberable where each tool / effect can be found. 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. ----- ### "Daily use of Illustrator" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Because it is all in one kinda app. You can edit pictures, writing documents, make 3D objects. I like the features like smoothening and pen tool. I use them a lot on daily basis. Also the perspective grid makes it easier to understand the view. And all the small changes in tools which can improve its quality. > > **Cons**: Few bugs are there while saving the file. That is annoying. > > I've been working with Illustrator from past 3 years now. I use it for mainly printing purpose. I use it daily because it has feature of picture editing as well as layers with sub layers, which makes it easier to track the work. ----- Page: 1 / 347\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1010286/adobe-illustrator?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/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
