A scalable solution that can be used by organizations for graphics and video production
Premier Pro's editing program crashes a lot. Adobe is quick to roll out updates and then fix bugs later on. We are waiting until things are in a better place and a little more stable for us. We're always hesitant to upgrade to the latest version until we have an understanding that everything is quite stable because we have quite a quick workflow as a sports organization. It would be great if Adobe Creative Cloud added more 3D programs.

Cost-effective, powerful Vector design components, and well-suited for large-scale projects
I have been using the CorelDraw software in a major capacity in the education industry to promote the capabilities and advantages of using the software for small to medium size organizations. In the corporate environments, I have not seen a massive improvement due to the large support from Microsoft for their Adobe Design suite being a far more viable option for large scale organizations and corporations. Corel Draw is a far more convenient option for designers and illustrators due to the lower costs of the software but the support surrounding the software is not as significant as the Microsoft Adobe Design suite.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is having access to the full Adobe Suite and seamlessly moving projects between themselves because it's such a cohesive ecosystem."
"We use the product in our marketing department to edit fonts, illustrations, and videos."
"Adobe Photoshop has Zenity VI, which is very helpful in Photoshop. You can do many things without actively going to a tool. It’s just like a command in Photoshop, and it will automatically do a job."
"The standardization of our software is based on color levels, shapes, parameters, and more. Adobe sets the market standard, so we rely on Adobe for color Pantone numbers and other specifications."
"The standout feature lies in its ability to consolidate all essential tools for creative professionals into a unified platform."
"The Vector design components of the CorelDraw software allow for a broader range of cleaner and aesthetically appealing designs to be implemented."
 

Cons

"Adobe Creative Cloud needs to improve the process of sending objects and files from one software to another."
"It would be beneficial for Adobe to enhance certain tools and capabilities to function entirely online through a web browser."
"They have a significant weakness in photo editing, lacking options for node editing, non-linear decompositing, and layer management. This leads to storage issues, requiring a separate disk for scratching. Additionally, there's a lack of seamless integration between software like Illustrator and Photoshop, making collaborative projects challenging. Unlike Autodesk, there's no multi-format support."
"The solution needs a little bit of revamp. It has a pretty old interface."
"Premier Pro's editing program crashes a lot."
"I would like to see a far more comprehensive support site with detailed guides, tutorials, and tips for producing corporate-level designs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Adobe Creative Cloud's comprehensive offer of around five to six hundred dollars provides access to the entire suite of forty to fifty software applications."
"The solution's pricing is pretty good for a complete cloud suite with many programs."
"The price is appropriate for all enterprises, whether medium or small."
"The costs surrounding the CorelDraw software are far lower than most of the commercial-level design suites such as the Adobe Master collection."
