Disappointed in Adobe

Community Beginner ,

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the performance and usability of Adobe products, which often do not seem to align with the features and capabilities your company advertises. As a dedicated user of your software, I feel it is essential to provide feedback to help improve the experience for your loyal customer base.

 

First, I have encountered consistent performance issues across several applications, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. These tools often lag or freeze, even on systems that meet or exceed your recommended specifications. Crashes occur more frequently than expected, leading to lost progress and disrupted workflows. These stability problems undermine the reliability that Adobe promotes as one of its core strengths.

 

The subscription model also raises concerns. While it is presented as a cost-effective solution, it is often expensive in the long term, particularly when updates do not address persistent bugs or add meaningful value. Furthermore, losing access to the software and project files upon subscription lapses creates unnecessary user challenges, contradicting the seamless usability promised in your advertising.

Compatibility issues also persist. Updates frequently introduce new bugs or cause conflicts with other software and plugins, making workflows unnecessarily complex. Although your products are advertised as cross-platform solutions, there are noticeable discrepancies in functionality and performance between the Windows and macOS versions, which hampers productivity.

 

I have also found that the user interfaces of many Adobe applications are not as intuitive as advertised. Features are often buried within menus, and the learning curve can be steep, especially for new users. While I appreciate the robust capabilities of your software, more explicit guidance, and more accessible resources would significantly enhance the overall user experience.

 

Customer support is another area where there is room for significant improvement. Delays in receiving assistance and unresolved issues have been frustrating. Many users, including myself, feel that our feedback is not acted upon promptly, leaving long-standing concerns unaddressed.

 

Lastly, while innovative in concept, the Creative Cloud ecosystem has its own challenges. File synchronization is often unreliable, which can disrupt collaboration. Additionally, the advertised " ample storage " is insufficient for handling more significant projects, forcing users to pay for costly upgrades.

I believe Adobe has the potential to provide the exceptional experience it advertises, but these recurring issues need to be addressed to bridge the gap between user expectations and reality. I hope you will consider this feedback seriously and take steps to improve your products' performance, usability, and overall customer experience.

 

Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to seeing how Adobe addresses these concerns in the future.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

They never do anything. Been using this platform for decades, and in its latest rendition, my PP crashes EVERY SINGLE DAY.

So regret having ever started on this path. I have invested too much time in this program and have zero options at this point. I also use their Adobe Connect for my Defense Department gig—same old story. Any updates, and the whole thing goes to sh$t.

To be the best, beat their a##
