What is Figma?
Figma is a design platform that aims to bring together powerful design features you already love and a more efficient workflow. Some features include:
Its plugins help to remove manual, repetitive work, bring in data, and power custom workflows.
- A modern pen tool: Draw in any direction with Vector Networks. No more merging or needing to connect to the path's original point.
- Instant arc designs: Design clocks, watch screens, or pie charts with the Arc tool.
- Be expressive with OpenType: Tap into advanced font features to fully express the brand.
Figma's Autom Layout tool helps users spend more time iterating and less time moving things around.
- Less manual resizing: Buttons can resize with their text and lists can rearrange themselves when items are moved around.
- Stretch to fill: Auto Layout components can now stretch left and right (or top and bottom) for easier responsive design.
- Design speaks development: Auto Layout’s padding, direction, and spacing settings translate directly into code, simplifying developer handoffs.
Its plugins help to remove manual, repetitive work, bring in data, and power custom workflows.
- Plugins for everything: Stock imagery, flow diagrams, color accessibility, charts, and icons.
- Designed for ease: A user that can build a website can build a plugin.
- Private plugins: Organization customers can create and distribute private plugins within their company.
Create prototypes that are like the real experience
Figma helps turn static design files into an interactive experience—no coding required.
- Intuitive build: Simply connect UI elements and choose your interactions and animations.
- Interactions: Define subtle interactions, like on click, while hovering, while pressing a button.
- Mobile-viewing: Experience designs in real life using our Figma mobile app, available for iOS and Android.
- Advanced transitions with Smart Animate: Automagically animate similar objects and create detailed transitions.
- Dynamic overlays: Create multiple layers of interactive content overlays.
- Animated GIFs: Use GIFs to represent motion designs, video elements, and subtle animations.
- All-in-one platform: Toggle between a design file and live prototype. Design edits appear instantly in a prototype.
- Shareable prototype: Share a link to your prototype. View it anywhere with Internet.
- Embedded commenting: Comment in a prototype. They carry over into the design file—so nothing gets lost.

- Finding a screen is not easy
Yes definitely, it is way easier to use and has way better collaboration compared to Adobe Illustration and Sketch. Figma has better integration with the development team as it can export code and maintain assets as well.
Another big upside of Figma is prototyping, since the designs are created on Figma it is easier to create click-through prototyping instead of exporting to another application.

Excellent for Design Collaboration
I use Figma in my organization for internal approvals and client approvals on graphic design work such as logos, website mockups, and email marketing templates.
It helps us to keep all assets organized in one place as well as all internal and client feedback.

Product Design's Best Friend
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Figma is a fantastic tool and has been an awesome addition to the design tools space. They brought the UX industry forward with transparency and collaboration. It is a fantastic product design tool that is flexible enough to be a one stop shop. While there are other products that do a great job at certain areas (e.g. Prototyping, illustration, collaboration, etc.) Figma does an absolutely impressive job of bringing so many elements under one umbrella. This tool is 100% the best especially considering the price point. There are plenty of tools to get designs looking fantastic and for everything Figma doesn't yet do out of the box, there is a great community making plugins and templates for you to leverage that is nicely nested in the product itself.

- Faster design iteration times with components and intuitive tooling
- Faster and more rapid user testing with simple prototyping
- Transparency across the organization (Creating confidence in Design/UX)
I'll put the competitors in rank order:
- Figma blows their competition out of the water. Clearly #1 for me.
- Sketch was too slow to get to the cloud even thought they were doing some really awesome things. They also didn't figure out collaboration, version control, and PC/Mac overlap in time either. Once we switched to Figma there really was no going back with how often they out pace Sketch in improvements and understanding the community.
- Adobe is great but it's so expensive and each tool really requires years of expertise to master. I never ended up using XD because the idea of buying all of the Creative Cloud seemed like a pain for one product that isn't even as exciting.
- Invision Studio was expensive the last time I evaluated it but I honestly haven't seen them in the space for years.

Product Design (User Experience Design)
You don't need anyone in-house to support Figma at the Professional level. You just need the folks that use it to have access.
- Product Design
- User Testing
- Collaboration
- Using the Google Sheets Plugin & components to scale up marketing design output
- Using Google Sheets Plugin to dynamically populate components with real data
- Marketing Design
- Component Library to Development Library parity
No
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
- Prior Experience with the Product
Product Features combined with Price were the most important factors in our decision. There is no tool that offers as much for the price point. The cherry on top is the fantastic community surrounding Figma and the commitment to designers.
I wouldn't change my evaluation process.

Simple Design Tool
Figma supports us to design the entire product flow seamlessly and is also very easy to use and adapt to it when someone new starts using it. Very user-friendly to learn which will resolve the challenges when any organization adapts to Figma as their new tool for design.
