    Figma
    Chose Figma
    Framer is making solid strides in its own world and is a great alternative to Figma. Sketch was a favorite of mine but it made it difficult to collaborate. Also, Figma's features are years ahead of what Sketch can do. Any time I have to work on Adobe XD for a client project, I …

    Chose Figma
    With Framer I build websites. Figma has a plugin that I use to directly copy and paste components from Figma into Framer. This helps me deliver a website way faster than when I would have to rebuild the components in Framer from scratch.

    Since Figma is not yet very good in …

    Chose Figma

    Chose Figma
    In comparison to Figma, other tools which can accomplish similar tasks (Adobe XD, Sketch, and Adobe PhotoShop) feel outdated, clunky, and lacking in functionality.

    When switching over to Figma, the experience feels much more elegant, convenient, and cutting-edge in a number of …

    Chose Figma
    Figma covers all our use cases. It helps with our design systems, pattern libraries, and prototyping; it's helpful to be cloud-based and sharable. Its plugins and usability for all team members make it very useful. Autolayout functionality is head and shoulders above the rest …

    Chose Figma
    Figma ruled them all out by having regular updates and becoming the leader in collaborative design app. Personally I liked Adobe XD better, it had a better feeling when working on a project, it was also faster but Figma won because of the “collaborative” part that it offered. …

    Chose Figma

    Chose Figma
    Figma has a web version, the other programs are not. The speed of design is a lot better in Figma. The presets, the community and the simplicity of the user interface is a big advantage in Figma. Students learn the screen and app presets in a quick and understandable way. The …

    We primarily used Figma for design prototyping and Webflow for turning them into live websites. Framer does it all in the same place without sacrificing design freedom and quality. It's our go-to tool unless clients want something else.

    I would recommend if you need to start from scratch a product UI or any customer journey that you need to implement that requires designing and visualizing different steps to complete a process. I would recommend that any design/UI/UX team brainstorm and make proposals that they can compare and discuss in a visual way.

    Pros
    Figma
    • Figma allows us to create universal content. This means that if multiple designers want to re-use a piece of content, and if everyone's content should be dynamically updated from time to time, we can easily accomplish this by turning design elements into a universal instance. Then, if an update is needed, we can push the change out to all assets at once. It's very efficient and ensures we're all updating content accordingly.
    • Figma also allows us to set parameters for the company's brand guide and share them across various designers. This way, we can easily pull from approved brand fonts, colors, and more, which allows our assets to remain unified across multiple touchpoints.
    • Figma also allowed us to create and install our own plugin, which we use to export every slide we have in a frame at one time, versus the default export feature, which limits you to one slice at a time. This is particularly useful for us when we're working on email templates, since we tend to have a ton of slices in any given series.

    Cons
    Figma
    • It will be great if Figma will consider having the Pages where interactions can be stitched together among the Pages and not just one page with so many Frames to create the stand-alone clickable prototype that can be used to simulate the intended UX
    • Bring back the Inspect Mode tab right on the right-side panel of the main workspace instead of hiding behind the Dev Mode.
    • Figma Slides feature could be improved quite a bit more in order to be easier to assemble slides into a presentation deck and having pre-built templates for slides can be useful too.

    • The main issue with Framer is bandwidth.
    • A lot of clients are suffering from the bandwidth, and they need to give more space for this.
    • Customer suffers from bandwidth increasing because of the bandwidth they need to pay double

    Figma is a pretty cool tool in many areas. My team almost uses it on daily basis, such as, brainstorming on product/design topics, discussing prototypes created by designers. We even use it for retrospectives, which is super convenient and naturally keeps records of what the team discusses every month. Furthermore, I do see the potential of the product - currently we mainly use it for design topics, but it seems it is also a good fit for tech diagrams, which we probably will explore further in the future.

    Usability
    Figma
    There's a bit of a learning curve, but generally I think it's both more powerful and intuitive that other UX design tools. Most of what I need to do as a designer can be done in this platform, from basic wireframes to creating a design system, to creating pixel perfect designs, to prototyping to dev handoff.

    Framer is easy to learn as all of our team members are familiar with Figma and Framer has almost same user interface. Pre built animation and templates saves a lot of time, publishing workflows is easy. I rated 8/10 because mastering advanced interaction may take some time and managing larger projects can be improved.

    I haven't used their support lately but in the past, they had a chat that I used often. They often responded in a few hours and were able to give a satisfactory solution. I would imagine it's less personal now but the community has expanded drastically so there are more resources out there to self serve with a bit of Google magic.

    In-Person Training

    In-person training has its own benefits - 1. It helps in resolving queries then and there during the training. 2. I find classroom or in-person training more interactive. 3. Classroom or in-person training could be more practical in nature where participants can have an hands on experience with tools and clarify their doubts with the trainer.

    Online Training
    Figma
    Online training has its own merits and demerits - 1. Sometimes we may face issues with connectivity or the training content 2. The way training is being delivered becomes very important because not everyone is comfortable taking online training and learning by themselves. 3. With the advancement of technology online training has become popular but there is a segment of people who still prefer class-room training over online one.

    Miro is more user-friendly than Figma, but is less robust in terms of web prototyping and graphic design. While Figma isn't made to be used as a design tool, our team has taken to using it as such because it's richer in functions and personalizations compared to Miro and Figma.

    Framer is a good balance between complexity and price. Wix and Tilda look good for even simpler projects, while Framer offers more sophisticated options. But at a certain point of complexity, as I already mentioned - number of pages, complicated automations- I would move to Webflow. However, if the project is simple enough, no need to be overloaded with a complex platform, and Framer works just well enough.
