Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Contributor Chose Abstract There are very few tools that compete with Abstract right now. I would say none of them are even close to this yet. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Abstract Cloud services help hold files that everyone can access. Absrtact is not that, this is unparalleled for Sketch users; this allows for multiple users to be in the same file and help guide them through conflicts if there are even any of them.

User Testimonials
	Abstract
Likelihood to Recommend	Abstract Large teams with dedicated design operations support UX managers that want a facilitated workflow for their teams Disciplined teams of individual contributors that want to adopt a process in their UI workflow Cross-discipline teams that want a central collaboration space for reviewing and critiquing UI artifacts If your files are named "FOR-REALS_FINAL_FINAL_FINAL_Super-Important-Project (copy).sketch" If you're managing multiple pattern libraries Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Abstract Versioning for desginers Collaboration between team members Incentivized Christopher Fritz Head of Global IT Read full review
Cons	Abstract Asset exports are not as great as Zeplin and others. Filtering within files. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Abstract Abstract has a difficult learning curve. If a feature-branch workflow is new to you, then it will take some getting used to. They make a lot of updates to the interface and these feature releases get ahead of their documentation. They rely heavily on an excellent customer support team and are present on various Slack channels to help design professionals with issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Abstract Abstract by nature is complex and has to respond to whatever changes in Sketch. So there are frequent issues. Support can be slow to respond and are not always helpful, but they are quick to find and patch the bugs. Overall, it's not the best support, but it hasn't been detrimental.
