Considered Both Products	Adobe XD Bethany Williams Multimedia Designer II Chose Adobe XD Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe InDesign and Adobe Acrobat Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Adobe XD Adobe XD used to be able to stack great, but I would select Figma over Adobe XD any day. Much better features, better quality of life features and includes darkmode. Another great part of Figma is the fact you can strickly use it in a browser without having to install any apps, … Incentivized Helpful? KC Kahli Clarke UX/UI Designer Chose Adobe XD So far I've had minimal issues with Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. All my issues have been with Adobe XD simply not being that great. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Adobe XD More and more competitors, agencies, start-ups, tech companies are using Figma instead of Adobe XD or sketch so our company is trying to get licenses of Figma in addition to Adobe XD. At a large company like us, we already have an Adobe Creative Cloud license so it makes sense … Incentivized Helpful? Parwinder Kumar Senior UX Designer Chose Adobe XD First off if we talk about Sketch, then Adobe XD has the upper hand because it supports both Windows and Apple Macintosh. Then coming on Axure RP, Adobe XD is far better than Axure. Because it comes with extensive features. Finally, about Figma, Figma is the only rival to Adobe … Incentivized Helpful? Anmol Juneja UX Designer Chose Adobe XD Figma is also a very good product, but the reason we are still using Adobe XD is because we can grab this software and have multiple projects that are going on at the same time, so it's very hard for to move on to other software. ** The Repeat Grid Feature is super good and, in … Incentivized Helpful? D Hendrik Mulyana DesignOps & Lead Chose Adobe XD If we compare with Sketch, I would still prefer Adobe XD. Sketch is a pioneer as a UI design tool, but the features and integration (without plugins) that Adobe XD provides are number 1, especially on the prototyping side. Incentivized Helpful? HA Huma Ali Center Head Chose Adobe XD As it's an Adobe product, there was no option to find another. Incentivized Helpful? Gonzalo Puig Content Team Manager Chose Adobe XD Before XD came to the company, screens were designed in Illustrator or Photoshop and a PDF presentation was generated, which was extremely time-consuming. XD saved us a lot of time (and money) by generating interactive prototypes, which are much more tangible for the client … Incentivized Helpful? Noor Ul Huda Seller 1 Chose Adobe XD A little change in layout can lead to massive process in Wix, Although templates and ADI system is good it makes issues sometimes. ADOBE XD has more powerful tools than it and for a customized website, It works very well. basic designing particles in the library can be used … Incentivized Helpful? AL Alexander Lucas Director, Digital Media & Analytics Chose Adobe XD While I have used Zeplin, Invision, and Adobe XD on various projects, partly dependent on in-house client teams preferences, Adobe XD is the most familiar to me based on 20+ years [of] working within Adobe applications. They all can do most of what I am looking to do within … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Adobe XD Sketch, InVision, Affinity, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe Photoshop, KeyShot and Balsamiq Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Adobe XD It's a lot easier to prototype ideas and make mock-ups faster in Adobe XD than it is to in say Photoshop. Figma is fairly similar but XD works with the Adobe ecosystem and I feel is easier to learn and use and the way you can share XD links is what I really like. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Adobe XD I have tried Sketch to see how it compares to Adobe XD but that didn't last long and i will stick to XD. Incentivized Helpful? MB Michael Berchak Owner / Creative Chose Adobe XD Adobe XD is very comparable to most of the other wireframing and UX builders on the market. One of the big advantages is that it works on both a Mac & PC environment removing a possible tech barrier. The similarity with the other Adobe products makes it easy to get up to … Incentivized Helpful? CW Craig West CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose Adobe XD I do not use Sketch consistently as it is designed for Mac computers but Sketch is an alternative to consider if you don't have an Adobe Creative Cloud Subscription. Sketch is a one-time charge, has an intuitive interface. There is a low learning curve and has useful … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Prewitt Creative Director Chose Adobe XD Compared to Sketch, Adobe XD is perfectly capable for most prototyping needs that we have. And it's free! I am less familiar with Figma, but can only say that it was a cost-prohibitive choice at the time we were evaluating. I do believe that Figma has become more sophisticated … Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Gardner Director of Customer Success Chose Adobe XD Highlighted previously, but Sketch is likely a better product. We have XD included in Creative Cloud so it was no additional cost, and half the team is on Windows. Otherwise would be paying for Sketch. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Adobe XD Adobe XD is a very useful tool for building wireframes, but I've now turned to Figma for my go-to wireframing and prototyping software. The thing that both Adobe and Figma have going for them is that they're available on Windows, as well as Mac. A lot of tools are Mac-only. … Incentivized Helpful? Andrew Folts Digital Strategist Chose Adobe XD I think in the next year XD will make Sketch irrelevant. It's sad to see giants like Adobe flat out copying independent companies, but it's hard to say no when XD is already included in my CC subscription. They have (mostly) the same features, so it's just a no-brainer. Incentivized Helpful? Matt Railey Strategy & Design Practice Manager Chose Adobe XD We actually use Figma, Sketch, and InVision along with XD in our design practice. We mainly use XD on quick prototypes or experimentation for mobile projects. We always end up falling back to Sketch+InVision for our Design System Implementations and developer collaboration … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Adobe XD I'm still trying to explore why I should choose XD over Figma. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Adobe XD In terms of visualization, it is best when compared to any other software. Incentivized Helpful? Chiyars Malhotra Android Developer Chose Adobe XD We have used Sketch software alongside Adobe XD to make prototypes and wireframes of our projects. There are some features which are exclusively available into Sketch and we don't want our clients to get shorted on any features, so that's why we use both. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Adobe XD is particularly useful and extremely easy to learn if you are a designer or a frequent user of the Adobe Creative Suite. Like all Adobe software, the tools, shortcuts, and interface are very similar to each other and allow for easy migration. Now, if you are not a frequent user of Adobe, it will probably cost a bit more to learn how to use the software, plus it is probably not going to be worth the price just for Adobe XD.

Pros	Wireframing/high fidelity mockups. We're using it for both responsive websites and apps. Prototyping. It just gets better with each update, especially with auto-automate. Ridiculously small learning curve. In my opinion, everything seems to be just where I would expect it to be, especially being familiar with other Adobe products.

Cons	Doesn’t have image editing tools, so having to go back to Photoshop or Lightroom just to make a sight edit can be a pain. Could add some text editing functionality. It feels silly that I have to draw a line under text when I should just be able to underline. Would be nice to have some real-time collaboration functionality.

Likelihood to Renew	We utilize many of the applications in the Adobe CC suite and our usage of this application came about simply because it was the one that was already paid for. Bearing that in mind we will definitely be renewing the software upon the expiration of the licensing. I am not sure if this is the solution we would go with were it not already included, we would have to evaluate all other options Incentivized D Walwyn e-Learning Analyst Read full review
Usability	Adobe XD is basically on life-support now, there are much better software out there that do everything XD can do, and a few that you don't even have to pay a monthly subscription fee on. While Adobe XD is great as shortcuts that are used in other CC software works, and its integration with CC is great. But it still lacks compared to its closest competitor.

Support Rating	I have not had a need to connect with the Adobe XD support team as of yet, but from past experience when dealing with the other products, the support has been very very good, and I would have no reason to think that this product would be any different. There are a good number of training videos on the Adobe site for this product as well as on other social media sites so a quick search should let you find the answers in several different ways.

Alternatives Considered	Adobe XD used to be able to stack great, but I would select Figma over Adobe XD any day. Much better features, better quality of life features and includes darkmode. Another great part of Figma is the fact you can strickly use it in a browser without having to install any apps, but if you do install the apps, it works great if not better.

Return on Investment	The time it takes to design in Adobe XD is significantly faster. Saving time. It boosts productivity, causing better ideas to be created. It's easy to use and quick to learn. Not much of a learning curve so we can get to work pretty quickly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
