Abstract vs. Claromentis

• 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

Claromentis is well suited for personalized onboarding. I really enjoy the way how the platform shows how to work with it. Also, it's easy to navigate, good user interface and user experience, although there is space for improvement. I think it's easy and logical to use, which is good even for non-tech people to use it.

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.

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.

I purchased and administer Abstract. It was requested by our design department who evaluated it.

Another tool I used is Microsoft Teams. I find the layout of Claromentis to be better and file sharing is easier. Both platforms are easy-to-use and serve a similar purpose. There are slightly more features on Claromentis.
