Likelihood to Recommend Helps in creating forms that we normally used to create in Excel. For this reason alone it's a huge upgrade. Plus is relatively easy to use once you know how to use it. Also, it works best for forms that you need to fill in.
Read full review For creating and maintaining a component library, it is a fantastic tool that creates an interface between Developers, UX Engineers and Designers. It is easy to get both general information about a component, but also incredibly detailed information when looking at the component on a pixel-level, where information on paddings, margins, colors, fonts etc. can be easily accessed.
Read full review Pros It enables me to quickly update and distribute forms that have been changed. The layout features help ensure that the forms look professional. The ability to preview what the final form will look like and how it will work, while still editing, is extremely helpful. Read full review showcasing components and other topics ease of seeing detailed information on components (colors, paddings, sizes etc.) ease of finding information possibility of going to previous versions of the design guideline Read full review Cons Biggest issue is the user friendliness for the designer. It is hard to get elements to do what you want if you are adding any sort of design to your form. In my case I make flyers which require not only the form fills, but also other elements like pictures and background design elements. The import from PSD or AI function does not work properly most of the time. If you create a document with lots of visual elements, your best bet is to convert as much of that as possible to a rasterized image and then popping that in as the background rather than trying to import elements. They come out very wonky, colors are lost in conversion, and the layout doesn't come over. Read full review when opening a component image (which opens a new page where the detailed information like paddings and colors are shown), the zoom can only be done by buttons, I'd prefer to be able to use my mouse scroll and for vertical / horizontal scrolling to do ctrl+scroll or ctrl+shift+scroll or something like that Read full review Alternatives Considered We chose this solution because it offered more flexibility , decreased our overall expenses and is what allowed us to execute our operations and business needs effectively. Adobe LiveCycle is a step above all of its competitors. Your only setback will be the initial training time investments.
Read full review I have used and still use
Sketch and
Zeplin too, but they serve other purposes for us.
Sketch is used to design the components themselves and they are then exported to Zeroheight where they are showcased and enriched with textual information.
Zeplin is used to design application pages, and again the components are exported to
Zeplin from
Sketch . But Zeroheight is mainly used for the development of the components themselves as well as a documentation for our design guideline in general. It is also used by us for design tokens and patterns, as well as other information on the design guideline, so if someone wants to understand the "why" of a design decision, the explanation can be usually found in Zeroheight too.
Read full review Return on Investment Easier for employees to fill forms Read full review increased quality, as less misunderstandings or communication problems occur increased speed of development, as it is a single source of truth for us. The developer can rely on the information in Zeroheight being correct so that he doesn't have to iterate his code again and again. Read full review ScreenShots
