What differentiates Adobe InDesign from other similar products?
Its insightful interface allows us to create designs and we can easily customize our business. This allows us to work with complex shapes and design websites without losing any quality along this way. If we are using an updated version and we can open an old version file in it that it can be destroy our design because of new updated version.

The one drawback around this implement is that if we update it into new version some of its fonts and templates it can be missing. It is heavily relying and dependent on plugins that we have to buy plugins if we want perfection in our work. We cannot be used in other operating environments and it does not have any mobile application version because it is heavy and tend to consume a lot of resources. The updating of this software causes a lot of added features to disappear and it creates difficulties when we are working with large teams.
