Alma Suite vs. Frontify

My business is HR consulting. Best benefits: organize freelance consultants by projects and tasks.

Well suited to organization starting their journey of design system creation. It provides a ready to go foundation that requires minimum effort to set up and get going. It may be limited if scaling into thousands of design elements and multiple users - we have not tried at scale of more that 10's of users.

• Great for task administration.
• Customer service is friendly, pragmatic and always available.
• Organize freelance consultants by projects and tasks.

• It manages the visual aspects of a brand very well.
• It is easy to use and update.
• It converts the colors from hex to rgb and cmyk seamlessly.
• It has a nice user interface.

Incentivized

• Need to improve in the way it shows project development in time: Gantt chart, schedules, etc.

• I believe having an agency option would be great so that one could manage and build multiple brands for multiple clients.
• Having sections for voice and personality would be great.
• The ability to export a brand document to a .PDF to share with partners.

Incentivized

Frontify is very easy to use and makes updating information a breeze. Frontify acts a central location to house assets and information for easy sharing. You can plug and play information and even white label the guide if desired

Better features for project development follow up than Asana and Wrike (previous choices)

We've invested time building our own hosted interface, and recently begun exploring Figma for design system management too. The benefit of Frontify is it's easy public access. The downfall is integration with other systems required in the UX, Design, Product Management, and Development processes - something Figma supports well.

• Positive: Internal Communication and Collaboration

• Solid cost benefit - the cost is not prohibitive for the value it brings
• Overall value depends on internal federation of usage
