About Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe Creative Cloud is a suite of creative software and services including design, photography, video, and web development tools.
It has a lot of features and allows you do to nearly anything you can imagine. Customer service and tutorials are super helpful.
Half of them download the wrong app (Lightroom) and some times they choose the wrong paid plan because they find it too confusing.

Alternatives Considered:
Expensive but worth it
Pros:
It's a complete solution for all design-related requirements. prom photos to videos and from pixel-based graphics to vector-based graphics. there is something for everyone to use.
Cons:
the price is high. All the features and benefits are going to be much much better if the price was slightly lower.

Alternatives Considered:
The standard, but the gap is closing.
Pros:
Having used Adobe CC ever since its inception, it's still the standard across the board. It runs well on MacOS, is mostly reliable and each app inside it plays well with others.
Cons:
Pricey subscription model, average customer service and Adobe are prone to taking away important features at will, or changing all the shortcuts you ever knew and messing them up in the next release. Its hard to suggest that Adobe are customer-focussed.
Worth the annual subscription
Pros:
There are many features I use almost daily for design and administrative work. Adobe fonts is a great tool to find the font desired. Adobe Acrobat is great for e-signatures and agreements. Adobe Illustrator is what I use the most often. The best feature for the whole cloud is that there are regular updates to all of the products.
Cons:
There are times when the cloud unexpectedly signs out. This causes the fonts downloaded through the cloud to stop functioning, and you need to re-link the fonts again for the whole project.
Non Existing Support - Creative Cloud
Pros:
worked for 8 years without problem but yesterday I had a big disappointment.
Cons:
For the fist time yesterday I had an issue, with the signature function. I contacted Adobes support chat and they support guy told me there was relationship problem between the Adobe Apps and that I had to clean the isssus away. He then proceeded to send me one long step-by-step instruction and one web page that was at least 5 pages long and told me I had to follow the instructions. I told him I needed help with the instructions but his response was that no help would be provided. I canceled my subscription the same day. Non-existing support should never be accepted by a long time client.
Invaluable Resource
Comments: It is absolutely useful, I can use it on all my devices and find invaluable resources.
Pros:
Effective, totally user-friendly and practical.
Cons:
So far I I have found only fUntastic features.
The Gold Standard!
Comments: I've, overall, been using ACC for 10+ years and it's been absolutely essential in building my business and in the services we offer.
Pros:
It's the gold standard in the design industry. I trust it.
Cons:
It's expensive, and the collaborative tools on it are lacking, in my experience and opinion.
It adds up but it's great.
Comments: Adobe Creative Cloud is convenient and easy to use. I like being able to locate all my Adobe apps quickly and easily and update them all through the cloud.
Pros:
I like that I can access all the creative tools in one easy place.
Cons:
I wish the subscriptions within Adobe Creative Cloud were a bit cheaper.
scam, stay away from this company

scam, its the worst model, they steal your money
Cons:
scam, they steal your money and charge you massively for canceling
Save and go
Comments: It’s a great app that you can start creating and save as you go along
Pros:
There is multiple files and file management
Cons:
You have to constantly have tabs open to work
Somewhat disappointed
Comments: The software are great for creatives but the new policies and subscription model has ruined the experience.
Pros:
Substance 3D softwares and tools are powerful and useful.
Cons:
The subscription model and implementation of AI policy.
The one and standard, waiting for a missing competitor
Comments: Adobe CC is the standard for creative production, but clearly the missing competition from a proper sized competitor has reduced innovation and code optimization
Pros:
It is the standard in creative production
Cons:
A layered pachyderm, increasingly slow for no apparent reason
Good Product, will continue to use.
Comments: From the first time I started the program it has always been running in the background doing what it does best, it’s backing files up, updating apps, and a bunch of other good stuff.
Pros:
I really enjoyed the ease of use, and very sleek interface.
Cons:
I don’t really know if there is anything that I didn’t particularly like about the software.
Creating a convenient path for creatives
Comments: Overall experience is great. I hope the prices can be reduced for long term subscribers.
Pros:
I like the vast amount of software that is easy to access and much needed in the design industry.
Cons:
I do not like the subscription fees as I think they should implement the one time fee structure thatwas very affordable.
Powerful tool for creative tasks.
Comments: It has allowed me to elevate my design skills and produce professional-quality work across various mediums, from graphic design and photography to video editing and animation.
Pros:
Adobe constantly updates its apps with new features and improvements, ensuring that I always have access to the latest creative tools and technologies.
Cons:
I experience performance issues or crashes, especially when working with large files or complex projects.
All design apps in one place
Comments: great use for our business to design graphics and all of our marketing materials
Pros:
The creative cloud gives you access to all adobe apps in one place to use across the business.
Cons:
Has become expensive over the past few years and cheaper alternatives are now bec9ming more mainstream. Also an apple device is a must over windows

Photographer: Can't live without Adobe Creative Cloud
Pros:
While there are other editing apps out there, Adobe Creative Cloud is the industry standard and offers everything I need to run my business from excellent photo editing software and the best software for design. I love that I pay for the entire suite each year and get everything for one price.
Cons:
I don't love the annual fee as I don't necessarily need the update each year.
Adobe Creative Cloud
Pros:
I like how Adobe Creative Cloud gives you access to all of Adobe's creative apps. It's great value for money, and it means I always have the latest versions of the software.
Cons:
I honestly can't think of any downsides to Adobe Creative Cloud. It's an essential tool for any creative professional.
Creatively Brillaint
Comments: Overall, this software is excellent, and I can’t complain about its quality. It’s regularly updated and fantastic to use.
Pros:
I like how creative cloud allows you to have a full suite of integrated applications for media creation and creative design. It is simply excellent at designing your own graphics, or editing, a movie or a video and even creating illustrative documents.
Cons:
Creative cloud is very highly priced and has little movement in price, depending on how much you use it. If you use it 24 seven, you will likely pay the same as if you use it once a year.

Alternatives Considered:
World’s most capable image editing software
Comments: The applications and tools are great and have been a part of my design and creative process since the start.
Pros:
Adobe Creative Suite offers a comprehensive collection of professional tools for various creative needs, enabling me as a designer to seamlessly transition between different mediums and effectively bring my visions to life.
Cons:
While I don't have preferences or dislikes, some users might find Adobe Creative Suite to be complex and challenging to master due to its extensive features and occasionally, they might find its subscription pricing model to be burdensome for long-term use.

Love ir! Best of all
Comments: Love it! Love the way or assets are organized, love saving online documents and unfortunately I dont use to work collaboratively, but its a good feature.
Pros:
I love how Adobe grow with technology. The new IA features are down to earth. Completely useful to photo editing or just to improve a crop area.
Cons:
I don't like how expensive is to “normal users”.
Adobe Creative Cloud Review
Comments: Great, I use and rely on it every single day at my work, I have used it since the start of high school and all throughout university, although I think it is overpriced it is a great product.
Pros:
I like the variety of programs it provides. There are so many apps for so many different uses, I use it for almost every creative venture I have: I draw and edit photos on photoshop, I animate on Adobe Animate and edit on premiere pro.
Cons:
The price is the worst part, I feel, even though it offers so much, the price is too much, especially when I was buying it as a student. It would be great as a one time purchase for each program, instead of a yearly/monthly fee for everything.
Great editing software!!
Comments: I would say that my overall experience has improved over the years and I am glad to have the program for my work.
Pros:
I love the connectivity of the various output points for the program and the high quality of the photo and video editing.
Cons:
My least favorite aspect is that of the lack of speed when downloading updates and firmware changes.
Love the software hate the price.
Pros:
I love that all of the program are pretty easy to caught on to. Not much of a learning curvy when transferring from program to program. Drag and drop is really nice. My favorite Adobe softwares are Photoshop and Adobe Premiere.
Cons:
I miss the days when you can just pay one time for the softwares you need. I dont use anything other than Adobe Premiere pro and photoshop so the other programs are kind of unnecessary for me to pay for. I am a college student so 19.99 is okay but changing the price to 39.99 after one year is kind of insane. Honestly if we could get the option to have a lower price for two programs a month I would do that. But I am canceling mine over the price. Too many new programs that still allow one time payment elsewhere.
Media and content projects for marketing
Pros:
When I need to create any sort of content for marketing purposes, it can always be done with Creative Cloud. Starting with printed materials, ending with editing footage for social media.
Cons:
The learning curve us quite steep, but once you get the hang of the basic idea and logic, you can use all software within the Creative Cloud as the UI is very similar.
Powerful Program
Pros:
I like the integration across multiple platforms. For example, I can edit something in photoshop and export it to Indesign and vice versa. Also, I use pdf for all of my proposals so being able to have a document library that I can edit is important.
Cons:
I wish there were more tutorials on how to use the program
