Likelihood to Recommend Figma is well suited for my needs, here are a few reasons. When you need to quickly mock up the design of a new feature for our enterprise application, Figma allows me to create and test prototypes rapidly. This is crucial for gathering user feedback early and iterating on the design before development begins. Other things Figma is well suited for are maintaining consistent design across our application, and enabling a distributed team to work together simultaneously. Something that Figma doesn't do is advanced code generation, specifically within VisualStudio.
Read full review When building a new product or even a new startup - this tool is priceless, in demonstrating a product's potential without really building it and investing expensive resources before you have users' validation. It's less usable for any backend planning, or when the system behind is too complicated and any user interaction changes the dataset behind the scenes
Read full review Pros As a visual designer, I spend 90% of my working time in Figma. So, as a design tool, Figma is mature and feature-rich. It covers all the basic needs and provides extras, such as simple prototyping and the ability to use external plugins. Collaboration: It’s very easy to work together on the same file in Figma. You can easily brainstorm together or use Figma as a shared screen. Smartness of components: Figma provides many adaptability options for components that allow building very flexible and scalable layouts. Read full review Prototype feature: enables to move from one screen to another as if the buttons are real Premade elements: makes it easy to build the mockup and give it a professional look and feel Easy to edit and change as we go Read full review Cons UI editor interface is starting to get complicated compared to early iterations Component system has a steep learning curve and is easy to make mistakes Figjam post it notes and other text and shape features often feel limiting since they can't be smoothly resized as compared to the UI editor Read full review When navigating on the big board, it's hard to track the different screens when there are a few dozen of them Prototype mode: there should be an easier way to track the screen that needs to be connected from a specific element I'd like to use a proofreading extension on top of Visiliy, such as Grammarly, so I won't have to look for those typos Read full review Likelihood to Renew It's by far the best tool and I feel delighted using it every day.
Read full review Usability It's so simple to use! I have no background in UI design but basic designing and I was able to learn this software Figma within 3-5 days. There are tons of tutorials available on Youtube from so many popular YouTubers in the space, you can just go through them and start designing.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Much more intuitive,
Adobe XD fails to keep up with the newest market changes thus it did not let us stay on top of the technology. The big plus of Figma is that the majority of our clients worked with it, whereas it was not the case with
Adobe XD . You can get similar results working with both, but the process will be different in Figmas favour
Read full review The possibility to animate to mockup is very valuable and needed at the product's early stage and validation stage
Read full review Return on Investment Negative -- the Figma mirror app is quite poorly connected with Figma itself, hence when we were conducting user testing, we got some incorrect data. Positive -- time spent for discussion because we have something visual to base on discussion on Negative -- it's difficult to find files and comments, which is a lost of time Read full review Saved us hours of developing the wrong product, since we could enhance validation by demoing a pre-built product by using Visily Helped us communicate ideas between Product and Developer roles within our team Cost us some extra time in design, because we didn't import the design from Visily to Miro, which created an overlap Read full review ScreenShots
