User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	HotGloo Overall, I am happy with HotGloo. It supports and fits well into my workflow. Here, I use HotGloo mainly during the prototyping scale. More preciously for wireframing. Eventhough, there are other tools - which I also use in subsequent steps - that would support wireframing as well, I like HotGloo and will keep using it during this stage. This is mainly because I think the elements and symbol library has just the right depth and detail for wireframing. It is important in wireframing to not include to much detail yet. Otherwise, testers get distracted by design aspects. Therefore, I like HotGloo and us it for different Product and Service design projects. Incentivized MS Max Schütte Student Read full review	Protoio Inc Proto.io is the perfect solution for UX/UI designers that need to create and share interactive prototypes. Proto excels at the interactive part. There are so many different ways to make elements change or interact, whether you're viewing the prototype on a computer (mouse clicks) or on a phone (screen touches). We could build and prototype our entire mobile app on here if we wanted to because Proto.io has the customization that we need to make the app look and feel like ours. If you're looking for a software to create wireframes and static mockups, Proto.io is probably overkill for you. Incentivized Jordan Harpst Marketing Coordinator Read full review

Alternatives Considered	HotGloo Being able to export the finished wireframe to HTML was a huge time saver for me and my team. Getting to that next step quickly and seamlessly was a massive help. Not only that, but other tools that do this, we have not as much luck. HotGloo's functionality was a step above the others. Incentivized PC Paul Constantopolous System Designer Read full review	Protoio Inc Proto.io is definitely the premier mockup and wireframe application. Lucidchart shares some of the capability but can be a bit clunky. Proto.io is interactive and smooth and helps you to see exactly how your UI will look and behave before the development stage. Additionally, it's library of native components is robust. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	HotGloo Quicker lead time in testing interactions with latest designs. Shorter build time through use of standard branding. Incentivized LS Lewis Scott Programmer Analyst Read full review	Protoio Inc It helped us rebrand a company to have a better strategy for the target audience It helped a small company new to UX and UI understand it a little more It was easy to teach new people minimizing on boarding time Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
