Adobe XD is a prototyping and UX/UI option for website and mobile application design, featuring a range of UI tools and and templates, a versatile artboard and contextual layer panels, and deep integration with Adobe's creative suite of products for fast import of objects from these applications.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/U9/zi/U2VSCA3GJV69.JPEGAdobeAdobe XD takes the guess work out of digital design, for free!2019-07-17T17:45:16.525ZAdobe XD is used as our go-to design program for laying out and prototyping web experiences, email and mobile games. Either designed from scratch or recreating existing layouts. It’s particularly useful when stuck using and archaic platform, it gives you the tools to visualize layout within the limitations of the software.,Super fast workflow.
Automatic animations.
Pixel perfect designs.,Missing horizontal scrolling.
Master pages would be useful.
HTML export features.,10,Saves time and money taking the guess work away from digital design.
Ability to involve the client early on with amends and flow, supporting our open workflow processes.
Easily Picked up by any level of designer.
Smooth developer hand overs.,Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe Photoshop and Sketch,Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe PhotoshopJason WilkinsonAdobe XD is a great prototyping companion for your Adobe CC membership2019-04-16T14:59:31.485ZAdobe XD is used by us to make interactive wireframes and our prototypes of the User Interface of applications, sites and games that we make. It solves our problems in the design phase, because it helps us to try multiple possible solutions for our UI/UX design, without having to code it and test it live.,The software is light and fast
It integrates well with other design softwares from Adobe
The phone app lets you test your wireframe directly in your phone,It could be more complex features in the animations/transitions area
The need of having all your pages in a project in the same view sometimes get things messy
It could have more images/fonts/icons already available for rapid prototyping with low fidelity,8,As it is only one of the many Adobe CC softwares that we use through our membership, I'll say that it has a positive impact
It helped us prototype for some client projects that we had revenue
It helps us prototype for our games in development, which we are getting investment for,Zeplin, Proto.io, Figma, Sketch and InVision,Figma, Proto.io, InVision, ZeplinRaphael SanguineteSeamless Integration with Adobe XD2019-04-22T18:10:24.806ZAdobe XD is currently used by two people in our organization, our lead designer and the person who does our usability testing (me). We’ve been working hard to get fully comfortable using it so we can onboard others to Adobe XD. Our company generally prefers Adobe products, so we’ve been really eager to get fully up to speed on Adobe XD.,Ease of use and familiar interface for people familiar with Adobe design products.
Voice prototyping capability that feels intuitive and natural.
Highly accurate content recognition (e.g. Dragging and dropping an image creates an image mask for the object).,Doesn’t have image editing tools, so having to go back to Photoshop or Lightroom just to make a sight edit can be a pain.
Could add some text editing functionality. It feels silly that I have to draw a line under text when I should just be able to underline.
Would be nice to have some real-time collaboration functionality.,10,The intuitive interface allowed us to jump into this new tool quickly and to quickly begin prototyping, without having to spend a lot of work time learning about this tool.
We lose some time in trying to do distance collaboration with XD. Instead of just working on a design at the same time, one of us makes edits and sends it to the other person. And then that person makes edits and suggestions and sends it back to me. We’d save time and money if we could just work on it at the same time.
The functionality allows us to make really clean, realistic prototypes that enable our usability testing participants to feel very much like they’re in the actual real-world design. This allows them to give us feedback that enables us to make targeted design edits before production (rather than having to correct many edits post-production, which is always costly).,Figma, Sketch and Marvel,Adobe Illustrator CC, Balsamiq, OmniGraffleVerified UserApplication mockups made easy. REALLY easy.2018-11-26T16:49:57.651ZAdobe XD is used to create mock ups of software before being sent to our application development team. The applications are typically simple information and links to resources for nurses and staff in clinical environments. As educators we have found that our internal customers are very receptive to accessing resources via apps on their mobile devices, much more so than on a designated work computer. XD has been integral to our development of this.,User friendly, dissimilar to many adobe products that have a steep learning curve.
Simplifies Application development with interactive prototypes.
Gives you the ability to create really attractive prototypes and integrates with Photoshop / Illustrator seamlessly.,It would be great if the software helped to generate usable code. It does not.
Only allows for simple transitions and not many effects.
Image editing within the application is limited. Should at least be able to crop images.,10,Positive ROI ... streamlines scope of the application building process.
Prevents miscommunication issues between development team and the application requester.
Streamlines the aesthetics when the users can create mock-ups of what they are looking for.,,Adobe Photoshop, Articulate Storyline, Articulate Studio,8,,Saving developers time from incomplete or changing needs requirements.
Preventing scope creep.
Reducing the overall cost of application development by having the end users involved in the creation of what they need.,To allow users to mock up eLearning ideas.
Allowing end users to utlize the software as well as developers.
Creating an interactive org chart application.,Designing applications for training.
Creating mock ups for gamified online Learning.
Developing waypoint applications for navigation around facilities.,9,No,Price,If the software was not included with a pre bundled package we would need to evaluate other software and make selections based on our needs and the features of the other available software. Unfortunately I am not able to speak to this as much as I would had the software not been included in a bundle.,Implemented in-house,No,Change management was minimal,Adoption from the users
Adoption from the application development team

Navigating logically from slide to slide
Editing text and where buttons and links lead to.,Editing images must be done by switching to photoshop / illustrator.
Opening content is sometimes a bit of a pain as you can't just click to open, it needs to be done through the file explorer.
Starting from scratch may prove difficult to some users, more templates would be nice.,8D WalwynQuick and Easy UI Creation2019-02-03T19:45:08.690ZThe organization I work for is a career and technical education facility where I teach a digital media communications program for high school juniors and seniors. Students in our program are proficient with Adobe's graphics creation software (Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator). Adobe XD allows our students to create user interfaces, web utilities, and simple web pages using a graphics-based interface similar to that software without extensive knowledge of code required.,Similar features and functionality as found in other Adobe applications allows for easy transition from other Adobe software.
Integration with other Adobe software (such as Adobe Illustrator)
Included with Adobe CC subscription (all apps option)
Plug-ins and Extensions available to integrate XD creations with other software / web utilities,Unable to outright purchase Adobe XD software, or select a subscription option for only Adobe XD
Constant crashing
No image editing functionality, so XD still relies on a photo manipulation software (like Photoshop) for some aspects.,8,With an Adobe Creative Cloud Subscription, no additional purchase is required.,Sketch,Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator CCDan TalviIntuitive and lightweight. One of Adobe's best creations.2018-11-01T18:27:08.520ZAdobe XD has been a great tool for creating high fidelity mockups of website designs. The tools and interface are very intuitive to use, and the "repeat" feature is one of my favorites. It's usually the feature I miss most when using a different tool.
Although Adobe XD has good prototyping functionality built in, I haven't used it very much at this point. From the little bit I have used it, I'd say it works great.,Adobe XD keeps shapes aligned to a grid properly. Coming from Adobe Illustrator, this was very refreshing. This makes it much easier to get everything pixel perfect.
Adobe XD's file sizes are small! Illustrator has an unfortunate habit of creating files that are quite large. Adobe XD was built from the ground up to be light and streamlined. In addition to the interface, etc. they did a great job at making the saved files nice and light too.
It's easy to export designs, or even just design assets. In Illustrator, I had to separate assets from other design elements in order to export them. In Adobe XD, you can export something in isolation, just by having the item selected.,The area I usually run into problems with Adobe XD is when I'm trying to accomplish a complicated or intricate object alteration. This usually happens when I'm designing icons or logos. Logo design should be done in Illustrator and moved over to Adobe XD once it's finished.
There are a couple odd things here and there that make things tricky. In Illustrator, locked layers can't be selected. They're visible to you, but invisible to your mouse. In Adobe XD, locked layers are still selectable. This makes it harder to select a layer under another layer (example: a photo under a gradient layer).
Adobe XD has been a little slow in rolling out new features (such as underlined text). They're taking their time to get things right, but it can still be frustrating at times. There are still areas where we're waiting for additional functionality to be added such as better control over shadows, and the ability to have multiple shadows. Breaking the borders into individual sides would be great too. It's strange to have something easily accomplished in html/css, but not in the design program. Unfortunately, some of these things are typical of design programs, not just Adobe XD.,9,Adobe XD has reduced the amount of time I need to spend on mockup up designs.
I like to keep versions of the designs I work on. A single webpage design might have 15 versions. The greatly reduced file size of Adobe XD compared to Illustrator means I'm not burning through near as much harddrive space.,Adobe Illustrator CC,Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe Photoshop, SketchUpBrandon ZellWhat we've been looking for2019-01-15T01:33:55.934ZWe are using XD for wireframes, website mockups, and interactive prototyping. It's being used by our Marketing Department. XD allows us to quickly wireframe ideas, reuse components from existing designs and get fully functioning prototypes to stakeholders faster than we've ever been able to iterate before. By integrating natively with the creative cloud, our existing catalog of assets work flawlessly.,Wireframing/high fidelity mockups. We're using it for both responsive websites and apps.
Prototyping. It just gets better with each update, especially with auto-automate.
Ridiculously small learning curve. In my opinion, everything seems to be just where I would expect it to be, especially being familiar with other Adobe products.,Rulers and other basic design elements. You can get plugins, but I feel this should be native.
Better handling of symbols. I feel they will get to near Sketch-level sooner than later.
Online collaboration for teams working on the same project. My guess is this will be coming very soon with the new cloud save feature.,9,Ease of use means we are up and running in no time.
Integrates and is a part of the Adobe CC platform (which we already subscribe to) so there was no additional cost.
Online proofing and developer handoff links are the icing on the cake. Keeps everything in one place.
Handles all our assets (mostly created in Illustrator) like a dream. Even imports native Photoshop docs, too, so that saves us so much time round tripping.,Sketch, Marvel, InVision and Axure RP,Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe Acrobat DC, Adobe Photoshop, inMotion, Microsoft Visual Studio CodeVerified User
