There is a fat user community of Artisteer users, I also belong to the same. When had its trial for the very first time, I bought it just after that. But now, after having experiences with this tool, I am over with it. There are more users like me, who have issues with Artisteer. Having to converse with the many of the Artisteer users, I have drawn some major problems associated with this tool.
Messy Code is the Biggest Problem
The biggest issue is related to the source code. Because, it is an automated template engine, we don’t expect the preciseness of source code as of a human programmer, but we really do expect that it would generate cleaner code. There must me corrections done in its code generation mechanism, so that we could get cleaner code.
Speed Problem- Artisteer Interface Freezes Often and responds very slow
Another problem that has been encountered often is freezing interface. The tool freezes all of sudden while working with it. It feels very annoying. It is not the problem only with me, also many of the users faces the same problem. Further, to see the effect of any option applied, I have to wait for two minutes.
Design Options are the same- No interesting options are available
We expect better designing options. Artisteer has the same options as we have seen for long. One, the Artisteer developers don’t bring us the regular updates; another, we don’t see noticeable improvements in the designing options. No doubt, it has many options, but in recent times they are not enough. We want enough designing options.
Issues in responsiveness- sometimes templates don’t render fine on devices
Many people have the issues with responsiveness. Artisteer acclaims for being responsive, but in actual usage, sometimes it fails in delivering the quality. There are several users like me, who have experienced this problem more than once.
Lazy Support- seems like Artisteer doesn’t care of its users
The users don’t often get timely response from Artisteer’s side. It is difficult to figure out that why users are ignored when it comes to providing them support. Most of the users belong to non-technical community, hence, they get struck despite of no use of code.
In the end
Owing to the no response from the team Artisteer, it seems that it is no more active, it is dead!.
