    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.

    I've found myself recommending Nifty to other business owners as well as for personal use. I've personally found it to be invaluable when it comes to:
    • Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly recurring tasks
    • Creating templates for company processes such as new product creation, marketing strategy, on-boarding, quarterly goals, content management
    • Having forms zapped into a new task from multiple locations ensuring they're never overlooked
    • Having clear milestones and timelines for projects
    • Communicating on projects, tasks, and just in general
    • Assigning different components of projects to different people
    • Creating prior requirements that must be completed before completing the task

    Cons
    Frontify AG
    • 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.

    • Time Expense could be improved since we cannot edit the previous/past time logs entered.
    • Lacks expense management and Purchase order management functionality
    • Newest product updates are not always stable and I had to reach Nifty's support team a couple of times in the past to fix the issues with new updates e.g. our document management and meeting integrations had to be re-authorized

    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

    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.

    There's no comparison. Nifty does what all of these do all in one place (with the exception of Slack's community aspect with hashtagging - not sure if Nifty can do this, never tried) Nifty even has the ability to import directly from many other platforms - I've personally imported projects from Trello and Asana, saving tons of time in migration.
