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.

Great Tool for User Insights
- Prototyping
- Defining user flows
- Building marketing collateral
- Gaining concensus on high level future state visions for an experience
- Licensing has a high price point, so not everyone on our team has access to all functionality
- Client or cross-team collaboration is limited and challenging if everyone does not have a license. The comment-only functionality for non-licensed users is severely limiting and a high point of frustration.
- The Miro plug-in is useless. I was disappointed to find that it essentially just imports a static, un-editable image. It also does NOT update the image import automatically when a change is made to the original Figma file - extremely frustrating. I still can't understand what the purpose of this plugin is or the value it delivers.
- Not user-friendly or intuitive for folks who need to use Figma, but whose role isn't primarily design-related. Requires significant time investment to really understand, navigate, and utilize the UI.

Design Made Easy: You should know the power of Figma
- Figma allows to work together on single file
- Figma has a option to make prototype and link screens.
- Figma has very use full plug in for Icons, Illustrations and dev mode also.
- Figma such as occasional performance issues
- Limitation in offline functionality
- Repeat Grid option should be in Figma

Figma review
- Collaboration tools
- For a beginner (like myself) this tool was simply enough to get started on "easy" UI changes like copy, which helps my designer a ton
- Presentation feature where we can add functionality to the designs could be a bit more simply to use since this is typically led by product or marketing at my organization
March 10, 2024
Figma is Great for Design Teams
- User Interface Design
- Component Library Creation and Management
- Prototype creation
- Non-designer collaboration; the controls are very design-focused so it's not as intuitive to use as Miro or other tools
- Video conferencing; I think FigJam is ok, but it definitely needs some refinement
March 08, 2024
Great Tool for Design and Collaboration
- Organizing screens
- Exporting screens
- Sharing documents with stakeholders
- Notes; hard to edit, organize
- Formatting things in FigJam can be difficult
- Overall organization of documents
March 06, 2024
Figma Review
- web and app design
- collaborative space for ideating with a large team
- premade screen and paper size templates
- Direct copy and paste from similar design apps
- Steeper learning curve than other collaborative digital spaces
- Adjusting placement of objects on frames can sometimes be clunky when done by hand
- UI can be overwhelming at times
February 28, 2024
Figma is brilliant!
- Wireframes
- Mockups
- Interactive Prototypes
- Design Systems
- it could be great to have a better way to organize the files and the internal frames
- It's a bit hard for a non designer to jump into Figma due to the variety of tools and options that are shown
- It's hard for a designer to use autolayout
- It could be good if we could have a easier way to handle components
January 24, 2024
Still ahead of the curve
- Eases collaboration between designers and engineers
- Interface design becomes a breeze via specialized options
- New automation options are always coming and make life of a designer easier: variable, auto-layout, etc
- Organizing teams and files within them
- Improve pricing model, especially of FigJam for enterprise plans, different licensing is needed nowadays and it's silly
- Comments - please do make sure when get moved always, the clustering in groups when you zoom out is such a pain when you have to move them

- Collaboration
- Ease of use

- Versioning can get tricky
January 17, 2024
Figma - impressive tool for app and web design!
- High fidelity UI design
- Component management
- Variations
- Design to dev handover
- Linking between files
- Advanced prototyping - e.g. carrying states and data across multiple screens
- Annotating things on designs like data points to capture, accessibility coding requirement - we use comments to note these, but would love different colours to distinguish comments for "Insights" (data) versus our own internal design team comments, or comments to the devs
January 13, 2024
Fantastic tool for prototyping in an efficient way

Top Class Collaborative Design Tool in the Market
- Dev mode is an excellent feature that enables developers to build perfect pixel screens.
- Real-time collaboration with an instant feedback provision option really helps us to quickly fix the changes.
- Figma lets you easily convert product designs into react components & the best part is you don't need to worry about the CSS part.
- The software really lags if the project file is big. It sometimes crashes when you import too many assets.
- Version Control feature often finds difficult to locate, we have to deeply explore the tool to check who has made what changes.
- Not too many Font options & we've to import the font styles from outside & to do this I really spent 30 minutes of time. A tutorial would have been helpful.
January 02, 2024
Comprehensive Software for Both Design and Whiteboarding
- Sharing designs with others
- Generous free tier
- Good drag and drop support for a variety of file types in both the UI editor and Figjam
- UI editor interface is starting to get complicated compared to early iterations
- Component system has a steep learning curve and is easy to make mistakes
- Figjam post it notes and other text and shape features often feel limiting since they can't be smoothly resized as compared to the UI editor
December 29, 2023
Figma is the go-to for screen-based design
- Being able to leave comments on mock ups for more collaboration
- Auto layout tools that you set up once and don't have to think about again or manually adjust things.
- Easy prototyping tools within the application
- Access control - it wasn't apparent to me at first that a project was shared with everyone in the company vs just people i choose to share it with. I think the inverse should be the default.
- Sometimes it struggles to import old Sketch files - no clue how to make this better, but its frustrating
December 20, 2023
The best no 1 design tool for create a user interface design
- Build a Design design system with multiple brand color and themes.
- Support many plugins to speed up design team workflow
- Include community site and offer free asset
- Not support typography variables as design tokens ( in variable feature )
- Do not have integration with figjam if you would like to make design workflow and with figma design
- Variable mode is limited for pro plan, only 4 modes max.
