What its users say (8)

Sort:
6/10

“Graphic designer's work… long and costly.”

Tech Stack 2026
5/10

“Infographic production is entirely in the hands of the layout studio, for print purposes, with a web version produced in post-production. Not necessarily the most agile process…”

Tech Stack 2026
10/10

“No option as comprehensive as Illustrator, and optimisations made over the years the solution has been in use.”

Tech Stack 2026
6/10

“Illustrator is probably fine (although a bit heavy and not very "turnkey"), but above all it is the design studio's preserve, and the newsroom is completely unable to take charge of editorial infographics.”

Tech Stack 2024
5/10

“Ramp-up expected.”

Tech Stack 2023
4/10

“No thinking has begun on the subject of infographics and dataviz. The graphic designers/layout artists manage with a print-first approach, and possibly adapt for the website in post-production.”
