Can't find a better prototyping software

Pros

  • Proto.io has more features than pretty much every other prototyping software I looked at. Many other vendors excel in one area, but Proto.io does it all it seems. There are so many different ways to build live and interactive prototypes.
  • You can easily build and manage multiple projects. Proto has several templates to start with in terms of screen sizes, from computer monitors down to the different iPhone screens, as well as Android devices.
  • It's really easy to share prototypes with other members in the company, and they don't even have to be users in Proto. The previewing option is great as well, but Proto makes it even more simple by allowing you to just copy and paste a link to share with others.

Cons

  • To this point, I really have no complaints with Proto.io. The software itself is feature-rich, so the learning curve is probably steeper than it would be with some other products. That being said it's totally worth it because Proto.io can do everything I need it to do.

Return on Investment

  • Proto.io has helped us to become more strategic about how we design our software, both in terms of styling and functionality. Being able to create prototypes opens a lot of doors for us to show the dev team how we want the software to behave.

Pros

  • Proto.io is very interactive and fluid. It allows you to design an entire app, including interface between screens.
  • It has a very robust library of relevant mobile components.
  • The support and help materials for Proto.io make it easy to use this product on your own.

Cons

  • There is a bit of a learning curve and is suited for someone with a development background.
  • Sharing across the organization, if not done properly, isn't the easiest.

Return on Investment

  • Proto.io is being used by the entire development group on a fairly regular basis and eliminates the need for paper design.
  • Proto.io's interactive interface and design has helped us to identify UI issues before the actual development stage.
  • Proto.io does not really offer organization charts or workflows and is specific for wireframes and mock ups.
