    Figma
    If you're working in small product teams, like triads, and already using Figma, this is a no brainer for white boarding, quick/fast sketches, wireframing, collaborative doodling ... it gets less appropriate with large teams, infrequent. IMO, due to the way in which they price, it's better to keep the inner circle small-ish.

    Filestage
    Filestage is perfect for staging a review with multiple stakeholders from different organizations. You can control who sees your project and when they can see it. Controlling this aspect of the review process is so important because some stakeholders might not understand a work in process and really only need to see something that's close to finished, while other collaborators might need to get in earlier to make art changes, copy changes, etc.

    Cons
    Figma
    • It misses easy-to-use pre sets of diagrams. The ones presented seem to be not native and hard to use. Miro is a good benchmark.
    • Navegating throught projects in the main page is confusing, specially when people are not admin users.
    • It should suggest ways of organizing the pages designers do, specially when the project is big and have many pages and sections.
    • It could have, for example, a draft version for every page, so that one can hide it when they finish the work, but can open it whenever something needs to be modified, versioning the job.

    • Notifications can be buggy
    • Google Docs implementation - currently if you use a static Google Doc it doesnt allow you to strike or highlight text like it does with PDFs
    • Perhaps not allowing the person who submits a document to also be the reviewer of it

    Usability
    Figma
    I don't use it often, because the organization I work in uses a different environment on a commo basis. This is rather used between the designers, who prototype the solutions in Figma - they just have it as a workbook/notebook for their ideas. However, if those need to be shared with stakeholders or other organization members, the designers are expected to use a different environment.

    Figma
    FigJam works best in pair with Figma, as it allows you to keep track of your project in one place, supporting all phases of the process. The functionality is more intuitive, quick, and efficient. Visually, I also prefer it more —it’s more enjoyable and playful, making the experience much more engaging.

    Return on Investment
    Figma
    • FigJam saves a lot of time ... it's nice to have all my visual notes/sketches within Figma itself where a lot of design work lives
    • The project organization and other features contribute to the ease of answering that age old question ... "where can I find that mockup?"
    • Dev Mode is pretty cool. Not many use it, so some designers may spend unnecessary time spec'ing out things that no one will appreciate, let alone look at.
