Axure RP is a software prototyping tool used by UX designers, from Axure Software Solutions in San Diego.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/product-logos/vv/ET/JATJMFFERCG9.JPEGAxure Software SolutionsAxure RP is a robust prototyping and wireframe tool that is great for team projects.2019-02-06T22:33:52.294ZAxure RP is used by the UX designers within many of the different software development teams. Axure RP is primarily used to create Low-Fidelity and High-Fidelity wireframes. Wireframes are then handed off to the UI developers with additional requirements and documentation. The wireframes are essentially a layout reference that ensures the development team builds out the designer's vision. Axure RP primarily helps us bridge the gap between the designer's vision (design solution) and production (working) software.,Axure RP allows you to use adaptive views which is great for responsive design and development.
Axure RP is a very robust prototyping tool that has the ability to add realistic interactions.
There are numerous templates and formats available for wires, user flows, etc.
Master styles make it easy to update design features across numerous project pages, taking out the monotonous work.,The user interface is somewhat old and not always the most intuitive.
I've been using Axure RP for 5 years and often forget that it has a steep learning curve, which makes it harder to onboard new employees.
The "teams" functionality, as far as working and sharing the same files, has some room for performance improvements.
Results of the Preview function varies per browser (although it works best on Chrome).,8,Axure RP helps speed up the time from a user's story to design to development.
Axure RP helps collaboration between team members.
Axure RP helps keep styling and patterns consistent (while saving time).,Sketch, Adobe XD and Zeplin,Sketch, Adobe XD, ZeplinKevin J. HaugerAxure Is Great For Our Use Case!2018-11-29T16:55:00.590ZThe product positioning team uses Axure to build out controlled static demos that replicate our live site for our sales organization to use in demos. Axure allows us to build a narrative with a click path for our team too quickly and efficiently go through a demo. By giving our sales team a method of quickly showing a pixel perfect view of our software solution we're able to showcase our offering quickly and accurately.,Design tools for creating interactive mockups.
Online sharing of the finished project files.
Third-Party widgets and Sketch Integration.,The tool can be somewhat complex when starting out.
A more clearly defined and shared roadmap of updates.
Copying from the Sketch plug is wonderful but there are still some random bugs that occur.,9,Axure allows for us to quickly get the entire sales team trained on a specific narrative and gives them a fool proof click path for them to use in the demo.
Axure is relatively inexpensive and allows for purchasing the software without having to pay a monthly subscription (although they do have that option).
The Sketch integration has allowed for a 10 fold increase in productivity by taking designs already created in another program and quickly adding them to Axure.,InVisionMichael Al-MegdadAxure is great for smaller prototypes2018-12-01T04:42:04.879ZWe use Axure RP to concept and prototype new product and features or enhance current product or features. We also use Axure generated prototypes for early usability testing of prototypes with users. It is used by just our department. It allows us to create rapidly build concepts of our products and share those with our users and allow us to analyze the validity of the feature or product.,Provides tools to build an interactive wireframe/prototype of a small product of feature.
Generate a package of the interactive wireframe that can be deployed to a remote location for sharing.
Create a reusable library of patterns/components that could be reused in other prototypes
Notes and documentation can be embedded and displayed along with the interactive wire and connected to the components.,Sharing and versioning of the prototypes when working with multiple designers. It uses Subversion to checkout pages and components while they are being worked on, but issues and errors occur frequently.
The functions that allow interactions can be basic and cumbersome so when it comes to complex animations or transitions, Axure could really use improvements. . Collision can happen with interactions causing unintended results. Workarounds have to be made to create a complex interaction to describe how the interaction should function.
Too many interactions or a large prototype can cause slow performance. So its better to keep the prototype small. However, a larger project would need a different solution or approach to manage features. Can be difficult when aiming for consistency within the interactive wire.,8,When understanding the minimal needs to describe multiple dimensions of UX using this tool, a designer can very quickly create a prototype using this tool and can help reduce the time needed to assess very usability requirements and business validity for an application.
The generated files source code absolutely cannot be used in the application code. Measures should be taken to ensure the code is not used in the application code or else you risk rework in development/implementation.,iRise, InVision, Origami, Adobe XD and Sketch,Adobe XD, Sketch, InVisionVerified UserRobust and feature-packed, but with a learning curve2019-01-14T19:55:52.631ZWe tried Axure RP in our Marketing department. The goal was to find a tool that we could design and prototype digital experiences, collect feedback, and deliver a head start for development with exported code. Axure has been the industry standard for over a decade, so we decided to give it a whirl.,Robust prototyping. It will do anything; the more complex the better.
Extensive training and a very active online community for asking questions... and we had quite a few.
Being able to add notes on the design BEFORE the review process is a nice touch.,Steep learning curve, especially compared to the competition (Adobe XD, Figma, Sketch, etc.).
No plugin support to speak of (not a dealbreaker).
Looking forward to the visual interface changes in version 9. The current UI is quite clunky and outdated.,7,The learning curve was quite a bit more than what we had expected. It was a challenge to keep up with learning the product. We thought we may be better served with a simpler software choice.
The community support and resources alleviated a few initial pain points, but I feel that time may have been saved if the app was a little more polished on the user side.
We needed to move fast on deliverables and eventually moved onto another product. Our projects could simply be done faster elsewhere. Not a fault of Axure; I think our goals were obtainable with lighter apps such as XD or Sketch.,Adobe XD, Sketch and InVision,Sketch, Adobe XD, PreziVerified UserGreat for detailed, robust prototyping, but clunky with a high learning curve.2018-04-09T17:52:15.135ZAxure is used to create very robust, hi-fi interactive UX/UI prototypes, more so that can be achieved with competitive software. I primarily use it when demonstrating design concepts to other designers, since there is no straightforward sharing functionality, though it seems to be considered industry-standard by some when it comes to prototyping.,Useful for creating UI prototypes with hi-fidelity screens.
Can edit screen elements in the program, as well as importing from other software.
Detailed interaction design.,VERY steep learning curve, the interface is not very intuitive.
Difficult to make even small changes to interactions, especially elements such as dynamic panels.
No straightforward keyboard shortcuts, which slows down design process.
Tends to crash more than other software, as it's so large, but not so frequently that it's a great annoyance.
The interface generally feels outdated.,6,Can slow down design process, prototypes take more time to build out.
Clients are typically impressed by the very detailed prototyping, giving more positive feedback on the overall design.,Balsamiq, InVision, Proto.io and Marvel,Balsamiq, Proto.io, InVisionStephanie Martin
