You can create anything from print to digital and social. There are so many features to use, and more are always being added. It is an essential item in any designer's toolkit. > > **Cons**: InDesign does require training to use - study a lot of videos online, or better yet, if you know someone who uses it, get them to give you a run-through. Also, without the right settings for your use case, you will not produce things to the best quality for your project. > > InDesign is my trusty workhorse in the design space - particularly for print design it is essential. ----- ### "Great software to use" — 5.0/5 > **Aneesa** | *4 July 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Adobe InDesign is that I like teh alignment and grid tool for when I am working on print-on-demand work > > **Cons**: What I least liked about Adobe InDesign is that the software can be very slow, and sometimes it gets stuck and shuts down. > > Overall experience with Adobe InDesign is that it's a great software to use and I love using it when I am working on Print on demand ----- ### "The industry leader in desktop publishing" — 5.0/5 > **Joshua** | *10 November 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe InDesign allows my team and I to consistently create high quality, professional print ready publications. > > **Cons**: It's inability to work effectively from files saved on network drives means i have to copy files to a local drive before working on them. > > Having switched from Quark XPress many many years ago, InDesign has evolved into a power piece of desktop publishing software. It's range of features and integration with the rest of the Adobe suite make this an essential application for our design team. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1015781/adobe-indesign?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/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
