iRise vs. Origami Studio

I can keep up with our UX/UI designer using iRise, and he's on a Mac and loves the Sketch, inVision software. I often trump him, by having all the direct customer feedback in place. This also works well with Pragmatic Marketing's approach to software. Requirements can be coded in line with Pragmatic's Strategy to Tactical framework. Love this software!

I love Origami and have always recommended the software to other designers. I use Origami on a daily basis, especially when working on new packaging designs. It's nice to see how a box/package looks live while working on moving elements around in the artwork along with making sure dielines work properly and there won't be much work needed on the vendor's end to adjust dielines.

• Recently my client has to have hovers as an enhancement to the current app. I used irise to show them how it would look in the future and they didn't like it. Finally because of the irise wireframe they decided not to have the hover - which was good before it was too late.
• Client wanted a new interface to import Excel docs into the interface. I used irise to prototype the whole functionality.
• Irise has helped reduce discussion times a lot.

• Proper view of closed or open box
• Control of adding degree of angle for flaps to see how a box looks open or closed
• High resolution exports from Origami to other softwares
• Love the new capability of being able to add multiple boxes for a group render/image

• When working on a complex page that has multiple sections with multiple views of each sections, it gets difficult to navigate to the section you want. It would be easier if there was a search functionality for searching the sections or components within the page.
• Drag and drop controls to have more properties. e.g. for a button. It would be easier if the properties included BorderStyle, BorderWidth, Color, BackColor etc. Currently, these options are not available on the properties and we have to use the formatting tool bar.

• It can be glitchy at times
• Challenging dielines can sometimes be difficult to render in Origami unless you trick it
• Large files with a lot of elements can slow down the software

This platform solves the problem that enterprise software sales teams encounter, and iRise cuts to the chase. Sales people often say "do your magic thing with the prototype" and the customer gives immediate feedback, we change it on the fly

We have used iRise instead of tools like Word, Excel, Visio, and other diagram tools found online. iRise is good because I think it captures the good parts of all these packages into one. I am able to easily create diagrams and mockups in one software package instead of cobbling together a bunch of other solutions.

Origami is a faster/easier way to view and render 3D views of packaging files--especially the instant gratification when adjusting artwork and or dielines before rendering out to other softwares. Other than Blender being free, this software is much easier to use for unexperienced users. Someone can learn Origami in matter of minutes--that's how easy it is.

• iRise allowed us to generate a very high fidelity mockup based on extensive business requirements gathered from stakeholders.
• This excellent mockup resulted in us being awarded a very large multi-year contract from a major corporation.

• No negative impact
• Price is great
• Saved us time and money in dieline creation
• Saved us time on rendering out DAE files from origami to other softwares for rendering
