MockFlow is a great tool for low-fidelity wireframing for quick validation & contextualization of UX & UI hypotheses. It is not a substitute for full-fledged designing tools such as Figma or Adobe XD.Incentivized
Omnigraffle is great for documentation, mapping, flowcharting, and other technical diagramming scenarios. It's simple enough to bang out a quick illustration and powerful enough to build complex blueprints for complicated technical systems. If you need cross-platform compatibility, though, you're probably better off looking elsewhere. If you want complex integration with data sources (ala Visio's SQL Server integration for shape metadata), OmniGraffle also falls short — but those scenarios are few and far between in my experience.Incentivized
Ease of use. The UX is great.A decent number of pre-built UI elements such as browser frames, dropdowns, buttons, etc.Good prototyping ability. We can create decent prototypes using links.Collaborating capability for multiple members in a team.Ease of exporting the wires in different formats.Incentivized
OmniGraffle is fairly simple to use, but the one thing I think it does best is working with curved lines, particularly if you are using some of the available arc templates. Drop an arc onto your page, then tell it the dimensions it needs to be, and viola! Done. Manipulating the arcs is as simple as clicking and dragging offset points.OmniGraffle has also done an excellent job in stirring up the creative minds of many people who create templates and tools to work with OmniGraffle (not that Microsoft hasn't done so either), and managed to get the bulk of those into well organized repositories.What it all boils down to for me is: it just works. One doesn't need to have a computer science degree to work with it either. It is as simple or complex as you want it to be.Incentivized
Grouping the similar elements together to further enhance the UX.Detailing the wires is still clumsy.Monochromatic UI can be improved a bit.Icon availability is limited.More collaboration features.Grouping of elements in the wires is cumbersome.Incentivized
I'd love to be able to keep more than one of the different tool tabs open at a time.The stencils are amazing. Would be great if a whole lot more of the free ones came standard as opposed to having to download them from Graffletopia or other sites.Built in tutorials would be great.Incentivized
Best product for my needs on the marketIncentivized
Easy UI & good UX makes the usability very convenient.Incentivized
OmniGraffle is an excellent application for chart and diagrams development. Been using it for a while now and it's a multiple platform application.Incentivized
Figma is a high-fidelity designing tool and provides too many features which would be overkill if we are looking for basic prototyping. Also, if you are not a designer and just want to create basic wires or prototypes as a Business Analyst or Product Manager, MockFlow would suffice your needs. But if you are focusing on pixel-perfect designs then I would suggest going for Figma. The ease of usability with MockFlow is very convenient as there would be a steep learning curve for Figma. Balsamiq is very similar to MockFlow but the wires created in it look a bit sketchy & clumsy.Incentivized
While these other tools are great for what they are, OmniGraffle’s solid focus on and support for diagramming makes it our tool of choice for communicating workflows and concept relationships, creating documentation, and creating other diagrams. Its libraries allow us to create designs quickly, and its ease of use enables us to use the tool widely across the company without much time or effort spent on onboarding.Incentivized
Low turnaround time for creating wireframes resulting in aligning the team on a single path.Validating UX & UI hypothesis quickly leading to less rework & quicker resultsSaving to & fro time with parallel collaboration feature.Incentivized
Omnigraffle isn't an expensive software tool, so there isn't really any negative from the perspective of raw cost. Thinking in terms of time spent using it on a project - what you create in omnigraffle will inevitably lead to a dead end. It's useful only as documentation. There are other tools like Sketch that integrate into prototyping software and can create useable visual assets for applications in addition to being able to create wireframes.Incentivized
