(1-16 of 16)- Features to enable clickable prototypes
- Organization of wireframes to map out user flows
- Easily shareable assets
- For non-primary users, navigation can be difficult.
- Embedding of assets into other software is a challenge.
- When clicking through a flow, it would be nice to easily navigate to other screens without backtracking to the main menu.
It's fine, I wish my company would switch to Figma
- InVision makes building user flows extremely easy.
- InVision makes iterating wireframes even faster.
- InVision makes reacting to different variations of designs simple.
- InVision inspect mode doesn't have all the functionality compared to Zeplin- there are certain things you can't download.
- Can't rotate anything in InVision.
Invision on the fly
- Provides quick tools for wireframe drawing
- tools for flow mapping/drawing
- Easy connection with third party applications, via links or direct connections
- would be nice to have commands for quick access to shapes from the keyboard
- Quicker integrations with Notion and lucid chart to have a slick experience
- The auto organize option should have multiple frame selection, sometimes is not the arranged expected for the wireframe
Headed for Extinction
- Real-time collaboration
- Archival design artifacts
- Low-friction access
- Clarity in user access/billing
- Branching/versioning
- Prototyping
Rapid Prototyping and Extensive Collaboration
- Integration with Sketch serves as a full suite for designers.
- Easy prototyping and actionable wireframing help PMs to create mock ups of the ideas.
- Have sharable URLs and integrations with project management tool that increase speed and reduce misalignment on changes of design.
- It does not support online screen design with tools. It makes a bit hard to create new screens for the ideas.
- Integrations with project management tools do not have direct mechanism for tracking changes.
- Comments may be highlighted a bit more for ease of use.
Invision helps your design team get faster
- Simple and to the point UI is easy to use.
- Ability to use anywhere; mobile, web, apps etc.
- Basic animation features could use some improvement to support advanced users.
- Only one project allowed per account on the free tier.
InVision: Increase your team's effectiveness and efficiency
InVision prototypes allow for quick creation of very impressive, rich, and editable prototypes that increase agile development and project efficiency. This in turn, allows my team to iterate quickly, elevate quality, and ship fast.
- Clickable prototype.
- Facilitate reviews and consolidate feedback.
- Test user feedback.
- It could be easier to generate feedback reports.
InVision allows you to collaborate, experiment, and test much more effectively and efficiently. When updates need to be made, it is quick and seamless.
Probably the most popular tool out there. Decent, but plenty of areas for improvement.
- Simplicity. As a developer, I only use InVision to reference the mocks that the designer/UX person created. InVision lets me easily accomplish that.
- Inspect mode is very useful for developers: instead of just looking at a static image, I can inspect individual elements to see their dimensions and styles like font size and color.
- Sometimes I can't inspect the right element because some other transparent element is blocking it. Invision should handle this better and allow me to ignore certain elements or cycle through different elements at the mouse cursor.
- No support for reusable styles (e.g. color variables).
- No support for building an entire library of reusable components that all designers would then use. This results in frequent discrepancies between what's in the mocks and common styles of UI components (e.g. buttons, dialogs) in the actual product.
- The Jira plugin is slow, allows only 1 attachment per issue, and is cumbersome to use (you need to generate a special share link to embed an Invision mock). So we just put the old-fashioned links in the issue description.
Great software for non-technical designers
- Clickable prototypes with multiple screens.
- Easy upload, due to the integration with software like Sketch.
- Easy-to-animate prototypes, with highly customizable options.
- Easy to access basic CSS code from graphic elements, making it easy to communicate to developers.
- Better integration between their different products. I don't know how to distinguish them based on the names.
- Better integration with Microsoft Teams (they have Freehand, but that's it). Option to share a prototype directly on teams.
- Options for testing InVision better. Currently, the limit is 1 prototype per free account.
InVision: Solid, But Falling Behind
- InVision is an easy-to-use tool for quickly putting together and editing prototypes in order to test and iterate upon user workflows.
- InVision's interface is modern and clear, making the user experience very pleasant and straightforward.
- InVision’s commenting and tracking features make it incredibly easy to communicate about specific parts of designs with stakeholders, as well as to follow those conversations. All of the feedback can be captured in one place, which is really helpful in revising designs.
- Designs can be very slow to load on mobile devices, particularly when they include many screens.
- There isn’t an offline version of the full app, which feels less-than-ideal for many of our teammates who live in areas with more spotty internet.
- There are limited functionalities to portray animations and transitions. This hasn’t been a huge issue, but it makes the app feel a little out of date, considering the range of such functionalities in other apps.
Prototyping With InVision
- InVision is great for putting together prototypes because it's fast and simple.
- InVision is great for giving specs to your developers that they can inspect because it gives them the information they need to build it.
- Large InVision prototypes can often be slow on mobile phones because they have to download so many screens.
- InVision prototypes are pretty limited in terms of functionality.
InVision
- Drag and drop upload files and file management.
- Hotspots, Boards, freehand.
- Collaboration
- Fixed left panel - InVision supports fixed headers and footers.
- Everything is image based -to support another state like hover changes we need to upload another image.
- Hover functionality for overlay should also support None like fade in, instant.
InVision - the right tool for quick and simple prototyping
- Standard prototyping using images and hot spots to control interactions.
- The ability to add .gif elements to prototype micro-interactions.
- The ability to organize workflow and review steps across teams.
- The ability to use inspect to communicate with developers instead of creating hundreds of 'red-line' images to explain spacing, etc...
- There is no ability to add dynamic data, from a json or other data file.
- Large prototypes can get somewhat flaky with hot spots not rendering or not functioning.
- There is no ability to add dynamic navigation to user paths.
Invision improved collaboration with customers
So as of now it is mainly being used by our design team only.
- Invision helps to share the designs with our customers. It's easy to share and discuss with others via Invision.
- Invision allows users to make comments on the designs. Customers make comments as needed.
- Uploading graphics on Invision are very easy. We can easily add new designs to Invision.
- I would like Invision to have features to add wire-frame designs. I use another tool as of n ow for Wire-framing but If Invision can provide controls for wire-framing, it would be great.
- If Invision can also provides a few options to make minor graphic change within Invision app, it would be great as well.
Invision also helps by allowing comments from customers. It helps us get feedback on our designs from customers and we improve designs accordingly.
Quick and dirty
- Easy to add files
- Easy to modify files
- Easy to share files
- Intuitive options (hide click hints) etc.
- It would be nice if there were more interactions
- It would be nice if there were otherways to link the data, other software allows you to drag arrows between them.
- It would be nice if there were more ways to organize your prototypes /archive them.
Envisioning the Future of App Development with InVision
- InVision allows us to sync the Sketch files we're working on locally so that when we make changes the InVision prototype is automatically updated. The saves us time by not having to export every individual screen any time we want to update the prototype.
- The ability for us to create clickable prototypes is essential. InVision has a great build mode that is incredibly easy to use and allows us to add navigation and transitions quickly to our application prototypes.
- InVision's comment mode is also key to how we work. By allowing stakeholders to comment on specific areas of the design we can quickly make changes and ensure that we are building the best product for our customers.
- It would nice to be able to compare different versions of our prototype screens. There is a history feature already in InVision where we can see older versions of a screen, but it would be nice to be able to view multiple screens side by side for comparisons.
- I'm having a hard time coming up with anything else. InVision does what we need it do. It does a lot more too, we just have had a need to utilize its full functionality at this point.
