Pros and Cons
- Intuitive experience: Everything about Adobe Illustrator feels like it was built to make your life easier. You can create full patterns with a single click and use AI enhancements to transform your project. It’s slick and streamlined
- Cloud sharing: Like most Adobe products, Illustrator is all about collaboration, you can store your documents in the cloud, share them with your colleagues, and work on everything together.
- Customer support: Aside from giving you a great user experience with the interface, Adobe also ensures that you can get the most out of your service with guides and tutorials.
- Also includes a compulsory installation of unnecessary Adobe CC software
- Cost might be an issue for non-professional users as it is significantly more expensive than more basic vector and illustration tools
