Summary: CorelDRAW GS X4
Comment: I've been a CorelDRAW owner since version 1. V100 camee on one floppy. This product is a serious 2 DVD set. I love it.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Very good product but it's not Adobe.
Comment: The product offers similar features to Adobe's Illustrator but lacks in special effects such as easy type warping and 3-D objects. It did not allow me to save as a pdf file. This software was easy to use even for a beginner. It has some of the same tools you would find in a vector program i.e. pen, line, shapes, selections, etc. Building new color swatches was a snap too. When you needed to look for a feature or option, they were also easy to find, and you did not have to waste a lot of time digging. Overall a very good product.

Summary: Startlingly Good
Comment: Long-time Photoshop user here, and I have to tell you that I am impressed with how far Corel has brought its suite of graphics software in the few years since I've used it. In spite of it being a suite, it isn't bloated with a lot of specialized applications. You get a good, solid image handling program, a vector-based drawing program and a screen cap one. No website builders, 3D stuff or video applications which are likely to take up a ton of space on your hard drive and never be used.
In many ways I find the drawing program better than anything I've seen from Adobe. The controls are far more intuitive. And in fact, since one of the ways I judge how well a program performs is by how easy it is to get it up and running at a basic level without reading any of the manuals, I'd have to say that in many ways the whole suite is as good or better than Adobe's offerings in the intuition department. If you can handle Photoshop, you can certainly learn Corel fairly quickly.
There's a lot I could say, but I'd prefer to recommend that you check the program info on this page and see if it sounds like something you can use. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the quality, nor do I believe you'll be defeated by the learning curve. I think you'll find this suite well worth having either on its own or as an addition to the graphics programs you already use.

Summary: A great program
Comment: CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 is an amazing thing - it can get someone like me, computer challenged, where the creative, graphics and visual aspects are needed - I can visualize what I want, but have found it hard to put those thoughts in a file like I want them.
This product helps to just that - with remarkable ease.
This is a must for anyone who does a lot of visual creations with the computer, and Corel is one of the premier names in computer quality products.
An excellent product.

Summary: A great solution for non-professional designers
Comment: CorelDraw Graphics Suite X4 is a very solid program. It does most of what Adobe Illustrator does (vector-based graphic design) and much of what Adobe InDesign does (desktop publishing) in one handy application.
CorelDraw would be an ideal solution for a small business or organization that does a fair amount of advertising-creation and publication design in-house. With one application (well-priced when compared to buying both Illustrator and InDesign), the content creator can achieve very professional results.
The app is also friendly to first-time users. It offers more than 80 customizable document templates that will be useful to newbies. While there is still a learning curve for new users, the app has an intuitive interface that will help get the user up and running relatively quickly.
The problem for CorelDraw is that Illustrator has become the default vector app in the design/pre-press community. Professionals should still start with Illustrator and Quark and/or InDesign -- they're the industry standards. While CorelDraw is very good, it would need to be awesome to unseat Illustrator, and that isn't going to happen anytime soon.
CorelDraw has new file formats that enable docs to be shared between CorelDraw and Adobe apps. This is handy, but also shows which format and apps are the most common -- Adobe's. If you're in a design situation where you're going to have to worry about your files working in Adobe formats, you should just go ahead and use Adobe products.
Another thing: Because the Adobe products are the standard, there are numerous training DVDs and books to purchase that can help you get the most out of your apps. With CorelDraw, not so much.
I feel bad for good apps like CorelDraw. I wish I could talk just about the app itself and not bring in a discussion about Adobe's competitive products, but given the way the design industry works -- or any technology-based industry, for that matter -- you always have to bring the front-running application into the mix.
That being said, if you're not a graphic designer or a pre-press operator but are instead a multitasking, Windows-based employee at a company or organization who has been put in charge of creating brochures, pamphlets and the like, CorelDraw will answer your needs very well. If you're someone who doesn't need to share files often with design colleagues, publishing clients or service bureaus (who are most likely using Adobe apps almost exclusively), then you have no worries.
BTW, if you're already using CoreDraw, it's worth the upgrade. The font-identifying tool alone makes it worth it, at least for me.
