Headed for Extinction
InVision is used by our product, design, and engineering teams. It is also used by key stakeholders. InVision provides basic prototyping, project communication, collaboration (Freehand), and handoff (Inspect) capabilities. It fills the communication gaps at the project level between designers and stakeholders. It also extends the capabilities of product mangers and promotes real-time collaboration.
- Real-time collaboration
- Archival design artifacts
- Low-friction access
- Clarity in user access/billing
- Branching/versioning

Invision helps your design team get faster
InVision is used as a quick prototyping tool to demonstrate the user experience design to the development teams and help them understand. We usually create the InVision prototypes to also use as a part of usability testing with users on new features for the software. This helps us get early feedback on the design and correct them before spending too many resources on developing bad products. In terms of business value, it saves us a lot of money to use InVision over developing the entire application, then realizing that the design was not the most optimal. Its very simple interface allows anyone to use it with minimal learning.
- 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.

Great software for non-technical designers
The web software is mainly used by our Digital Media department, which is part of the larger IT organization. We operate globally and use InVision to make clickable prototypes of our app concepts. It allows us to operate efficiently and create testable prototypes fast, thus saving us a lot of time compared to not having this tool. All in all, we are very positive about having this!
- 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 saves us a lot of time and hassle implementing designs!
We use InVision as a clickable prototyping software for helping developers understand the flow and implementation of designs from our designer. It helps bridge the gap in communication between designers and developers and free up both of their time to focus on what they're good at instead of constantly going back and forth on small details of how to implement the designs.
- The ability to leave comments on specific parts of the screen to add details or feedback for the developers. This removes the pain of trying to explain which screen/part of the screen you're referring to.
- InVision makes it extremely easy to create a clickable prototype and test the flow of your software.
- The design and user experience of InVision makes it very pleasant and extremely easy to use.
- InVision doesn't integrate with Illustrator to automatically upload new updates to designs. You have to go back in and re-upload the file which means also changing the flow of the clickable hot spots. But it does have that capability for Sketch and Photoshop.
- Because it's integrating with other platforms, it isn't as seamless of an experience as Adobe XD is at building and may be difficult to compete with Adobe over the long term because they have such a stronghold in the creative space.
- Other than that it has worked very well for us!

The best but for how long?
We currently use InVision to send interactive prototypes around campus for feedback and approval. We're currently the only department utilizing it but our clients are all over campus. It helps us consolidate our digital creative ideas and allows us to share them with the campus while showing how the page will actually work. Getting this approved on the front end saves countless hours in development.
- Sketch compatibility via plugin
- InVision Studio integration
- Clean interface; very easy for new users to get up to speed
- Hasn't been a lot of new features added lately
- Users have to set up an account
- Looking forward to more innovations concerning developer handoff

InVision is solid!
We use it to share new web development, design and prototyping.
- InVision is a solid platform.
- I was introduced to it by some of my European web developers, and quickly fell in love with it.
- It also has a great mobile app, and the entire app is quite user friendly. Definitely recommend it.
- I think its solid! Not sure how else they could improve!

InVision - prototype, communicate, prototype, communicate, develop
We are a small team but we work in different locations and different times. Invision is the place where our designer uploads his assets. He also uses it demonstrate screen transitions. We then have a back and forth communication on the UI and UX to see that it meets our business goals which are usually aimed at making the end user happy.
- The "Inspect" feature is terrific. The designer doesn't need to come up with css mapping guide. It's automatic!
- Commenting on top of the assets is super easy and looks good.
- Working on prototypes saves a lot of development time.
- You need to upload complete assets as a page. You can't drag and drop elements to create screens.
- InVision is focused on designers. That's good, but some focus on non designers (developers, product) would be nice.

InVision
I use InVision for all of our UX works. It is used predominantly by our digital team. It helps to develop high fidelity prototypes using hotspots and collaborates with the cross-functional team effectively. InVision provides the advantage of sharing the URL with the ability to access the prototypes in various devices like mobiles, tablets, and laptops.
- 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.

Prototyping?? (Nothing is better than InVision)

I am a freelance web developer on upwork and Freelancer. I use this prototyping tool all the time before starting to code, just to give the exact idea of the website, and what it is going to look like after it’s done. And InVision is a great tool for that, it helps me give the exact prototype I wish to my client which helps me a lot. There is no need to change the codes again if the client does not like their website. I started using this prototyping tool about 1 year ago and it helped me a lot. The biggest and the most annoying problem was, the client was happy with the psd but not very happy with the website. There used to be many changes done after completing the website, and that problem has been reduced by 95% for me, since I started using InVision. I love this tool.
- I love the comment option in InVision. It's an awesome thing for a freelancer developer. I just make the prototype, send it to the client, mostly he loves it. If there is anything he wants me to change, he puts a comment on that particular area on the page. So you have 30 pages, the client puts the comment on changes required area and you change them accordingly. It might seem basic but it's really useful.
- The History Mode is an awesome thing in InVision. It's like git to me, it keeps a track of all the previous changes I made and all the comments which were added. It helps me check if I have fulfilled all the comments and changes asked by the client.
- And Live Share is the best thing - it helps the client get the exact idea of what the website is gonna look like once it is completed.
- It's not free. I mean you can only work on one project with a free account and of course you don't just have one project to work on.
- It takes some time to get a hang of the tool. I mean you really need to understand the tool; it took me like 2-3 hours to understand most of the basic features, but keep experimenting, that's life.
