Adobe XD

What do you like best?

Adobe XD has similar workflows, tools, and menus, as other Adobe programs that I use on a daily basis. A very clean user experience. I like the ability to save my designs on the cloud for my colleagues to reference and add their own notes to.

What do you dislike?

Some of the keyboard shortcuts aren't intuitive. For instance, if I want to copy an artboard, I have to use a different method than I would use in Adobe Illustrator. If I want to move the actual work-area around, I have to hold down a key on my keyboard rather than just hitting a key once to bring up that same tool. It'd be nice if commonly used shortcuts were the same as InDesign and Illustrator.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

My team at work has stopped using Sketch, which was only able to be used on a Mac. I'm able to start a design on my Mac and then pick up where I left off on my PC. I also like that Adobe XD comes as part of the Adobe Creative Suite, so I don't need to pay a yearly fee in addition to what I already pay.
