IT-Enquirer wrote a 34-pages analysis comparing the most important functionality aimed at productivity, creativity, and efficiency in
QuarkXPress 7 and Adobe
InDesign CS3. The analysis consists of timing results measured for identical tasks performed in each application and of a qualitative assessment of features that can’t be measured in time.
In particular, we tested tasks and challenges in the following application areas:
- Document, setup, collaboration and design consistency
- Working with layouts
- Printing and output
- Miscellaneous other tasks
The table at the end of this summary lists the results. We found
QuarkXPress 7 to be faster in 79% of the tasks;
InDesign CS3 was faster in 21% of the tasks. However, the degree to which the tasks were faster in either application varied and might not always be relevant to the user.
