It's range of features and integration with the rest of the Adobe suite make this an essential application for our design team. ----- ### "Number one design tool" — 5.0/5 > **Anna** | *25 March 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think it is the most powerful tool for a graphic designer. The combination of all the options for typesetting and designing and vector editing and creating makes it number one for me. > > **Cons**: Limited options for gradients and also the lack of angled grid lines. > > It’s my number one tool, I design 99% of my designs using InDesign. I love the fact that it has advanced text options while being vector programme at the same time. In designing layout options are crucial and it has the best layout options for print and web (and mobile) ----- ### "InDesign is worth it" — 5.0/5 > **Raegan** | *1 May 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love Adobe InDesign\! I use it for print designs for books, newsletters, cards and so much more. It is one of my everyday essentials. The program is easy to use and is worth every penny. I am such a fan of Adobe Indesign. I could not do my job without it. > > **Cons**: I wish that Adobe Indesign had an automatic save feature. It would be helpful to not have to think about saving the program but rather let it be an automatic feature. > > Overall I am a huge fan of Adobe InDesign. I use it all the time in my job. It is a valuable asset to me. It helps me do my job well. ----- ### "Consider another option" — 1.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *29 October 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been using InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop for decades. They do the same functions as expected, until recently when they refused to pay for Pantone color access. Makes me wonder how much functionality will be lost in future "upgrades." > > **Cons**: Subscription based, no Pantone color library access. Less and less features, more and more cost. Web-based, free options are taking the design world by storm and will soon out-pace Adobe products, and similar. > > I've been using InDesign since it was Aldus PageMaker (over 30 years), and have never been more disappointed. Adobe is moving into a subscription-based model to boost profits while cutting corners (a recent forced "upgrade" removed access the entire Pantone library of colors). If you're looking to get started in layout, use a web-based option, or consider QuarkXpress or Corel Draw. These fat-cat companies need to be called out on their cheap practices. ----- ### "Create multipage layouts for professional looking books and brochures" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 March 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once you get past the learning curve, InDesign is perfect for your print design needs. As a part of the Creative Suite, it seamlessly integrates with other programs meaning that assets and design elements can easily be shared. Also it is very easy to create templates for future projects. > > **Cons**: You will need to use Photoshop or Illustrator for image/vector file editing support. Also as part of the CS subscription based model it can be costly to run particularly for hobbyist or freelancers. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/1015781/adobe-indesign?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/1015781/adobe-indesign) ## 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 | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
