	Adobe InDesign	CorelDRAW Graphics Suite
Considered Both Products	Adobe Stéfano Bellote Engenheiro de desenvolvimento de produtos Jr in Engineering at Electrolux (Consumer Goods, 10,001+ employees) Chose Adobe InDesign Adobe InDesign is more for long format graphic designs as instruction books, catalogs, flyers, leaflets, and other documents that need the interaction of both graphics and text elements. It also has resources for vector design but offering fewer tools so that it can be … Incentivized Helpful? Sam Bean President in Professional Services at Bean Graphics, Inc. (Graphic Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe InDesign Adobe InDesign is afar and away the best product I have used - alone or as a suite of products - in my production environment. Incentivized Helpful? John La Belle President in Professional Services at Mind's Eye Reprographics, Inc.

It's layers and grouping functionality especially … Incentivized Helpful? John La Belle President in Professional Services at Mind's Eye Reprographics, Inc. (Graphic Design, 1-10 employees) Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite I found the version of Illustrator available at the time I started using CorelDraw inferior, though very, very close in functionality. I haven't worked with Illustrator since the 90s, so I'm not sure how they would stack up against each other now. I will say this, however, … Incentivized Helpful?
