Where it fits
Design teams creating portable vector assets and documented graphic templates.
Trade-offs and limitations
Illustrator-specific effects, linked assets and print colour requirements need a trial; imported files may lose editability.
Deployment and technology
Desktop vector editor for Windows, macOS and Linux. Local desktop deployment requires supported devices, managed updates and tested file backups. Consult the official installation guide for the current version.
Portability and integration
| API | Command-line export and extension interfaces |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Local operating-system access |
| Data export | SVG source plus supported PDF and image exports; inspect conversion results |
Migration considerations
Check fonts, clipping, filters, dimensions and final print output using real client artwork.
Security and ongoing costs
Budget for infrastructure, implementation, monitoring, patching, backups, restore tests and user support. Check the supported release and current advisories with the project. An open licence is not a security guarantee.
Freedom score and exit difficulty
A complete, evidence-backed assessment of all 15 criteria is required before publishing a score. Exit difficulty depends on your customisations, data model, integrations and operating documentation. This profile does not claim a hands-on benchmark or a complete security assessment.
