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. ----- ### "Adobe Illustrator Review" — 4.0/5 > **Junaid** | *01 April 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe Illustrator is an absolute game changer in the graphics design industry. You can create your business logo, flyer pamphlets, and be creative as you wish. > > **Cons**: A realtively low monthly cost subscription given all features your getting. However, it is not the most user friendly and will take time to familiarize yourself with the environment. > > It a fantastic tool to do trial and and error design concepts and utilitize one file to size and scale to your needs. I highly recommend this software to somebody who is a bit tech-savy and is willing to learn. ----- ### "Powerful tool for professional design. Way better than Canva for certain things" — 5.0/5 > **Roger** | *03 January 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how powerful Illustrator is for vector design and illustration. It gives a lot of control and precision for creating logos, icons, and graphics. > > **Cons**: The learning curve is high and it can be overwhelming at the beginning. Also, it requires a good computer to run smoothly. > > Overall, my experience has been very good. It is an industry standard tool for professional design, but it takes time and practice to master. ----- ### "Adobe Illustrator is Quality" — 5.0/5 > **Devan** | *12 April 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to transform graphic files into high quality outputs. The high quality tools allow for full creative customization. > > **Cons**: The complexity of the application can take awhile to get used to. Therefor it takes longer to do a project. > > Overall very positive, I have been able to utilize it for quality marketing work both digital and print. ----- 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
