One of the best editing tools-Microsoft Publisher
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Publisher from other similar products?
Microsoft Publishers helps me design my travel postcards. I can create my schedule and calendar using the same software. It also allows me to develop professional emails and beautiful banners for the websites. The alternatives like Canva or Photoshop may do a better job, but Publisher is easy to learn and handle, which makes it the perfect software to start your designing process.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Microsoft Publisher software is easy to use like its entire Microsoft suite and gives you more flexibility than PowerPoint/Word to edit your designs. Microsoft Publisher has a lot of templates that help you get started according to what your needs are. Be it schedules, checklists, greeting cards, brochures, emails, catalogs, or even letterheads - Microsoft Publisher is the way to go.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Microsoft Publisher is easy-to-use software. I don't find anything wrong with it except that it is beginner software - you will find other better alternatives (they all are complicated to learn even though they might provide more functionality). It is a part of the Microsoft suite, and if you don't have its licensed version, it might be easier to go with some other software.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you have a licensed version - go for it. Otherwise try some other software like Canva which helps you design Instagram posts, Facebook posts, Web banners, as well as presentations.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features
