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

- Clarity in user access/billing
- Branching/versioning
- Prototyping

InVision aids in fast virtual collaboration
- Allow for sharing across multiple teams.
- Sync with Sketch to upload screens and prototype.
- Ability to star most used projects.
- The order in which projects are in can be confusing.
- We can't create custom or different links to prototypes when sharing with external people.
- Sometimes there are syncing issues.

InVision--Collaborative Prototyping Staple
- Prototyping
- Sharing feedback internally
- Collaboration for remote teams
- Client presentations
- The product is a bit disjointed, whereas competitor products have a more all-in-one feel
- More difficult UI than other tools
- Sharing settings and toolbar are not always intuitive
April 14, 2021
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, platform that once WOWed is now ehh
- Upload to other 3rd party platforms such as Zeplin.
- Easy to use design interface.
- Lots of 3rd party plugins to simplify you life, Unsplash for stock photos for example.
- Limited in platforms it can upload to.
- 3rd party plugins don't often get updated and then break/don't function.
- Slow to develop some features, example animation for showing user experiences.
- Can be glitchy/buggy and updates sometimes makes things worse.

- Easy to Use
- Commenting within Creative
- Clean user interface
- Good resources
- Notifications

InVision: Create beautiful designs for great products
- Allows seamless collaboration within a team on design.
- Helps us build clickable prototypes of our designs.
- Makes envisioning user experiences simple and uncomplicated.
- The web application is quite heavy and tends to lag from time to time.
- Same with the mobile app. It's not the quickest and easiest experience.
- Navigating through several designs can be difficult and confusing at times.

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
- Clickable prototype.
- Facilitate reviews and consolidate feedback.
- Test user feedback.
- It could be easier to generate feedback reports.
November 12, 2019
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.
- Showcase web design page layouts in an efficient way.
- Simulate hover states, click states, drop down menus, and other interactive elements.
- Easily capture design feedback from clients.
- I wish it had even more ability to simulate interactivity. What is there is nice, but still doesn't faithfully prototype the website.
- It can be a bit cumbersome to set up connected pages and interactive states.
- Pushy sales team that is always trying to get you to upgrade your plan even when you don't want/need to.

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.

Invision best prototyping tool out there
- Really good for prototyping.
- Superb collaboration between teams.
- Integration with Sketch is very useful.
- Inspect product is another great resource.
- The craft plugin for Sketch helps in speeding up design process.
- I guess with so many features I think team management needs improvement.
- Notifications and updates are not well executed.
- Pricing, I think bit expensive for starters.
July 10, 2019
Great collaboration, interactive prototyping tool
- Very easy to export Sketch files (where prototypes are actually created) into Invision and preserve the interactivity.
- Additional interactivity can be added in InVision. Like scrolling with locked footer.
- Clients, designer and developers can collaborate - leave notes and respond to notes made by others.
- InVision's biggest problem for me right now is that if the change I make in Sketch is minor - it does not get picked up when I update my prototype in InVision. So I have to add large bright noticeable objects - then update the prototype then remove those objects and update the prototype again. It is a very time-consuming work around.
- Simple interface and easy to work with.
- Easy to collaborate
- Versioning is a key feature.
- Drag and drop feature speeds up things.
- No responsive design output.
- Initial loading should be better, it's slow.
- Nothing much.

Excellent design sharing and feedbacking tool
- Easily sharing designs and mockups.
- Creating folders and separate projects for easy handling of multiple projects.
- Great interface and ease of use.
- Lack of dynamic transitions between screens (ie. "mocked buttons").
