Overall Satisfaction with Balsamiq

Balsamiq is used in our department to sketch all screens of our application. We draw in an easy way the mockups and later we use the images with another tool to get the app workflow done.
  • This application lets you use default or custom predefined components in an easy way, It allows for a fast prototyping phase.
  • It is possible to realize several versions of a screen, this allows to send the user different versions for approval.
  • The application is very easy to use. It's easy for a user to post comments or make modifications.
  • Balsamiq's UI is very simple. Color combinations are unattractive and it's old-fashioned
  • Symbol libraries can be duplicated easily and it is a problem because is possible to work with two different instances of the same library at same time
  • Significantly improved planning and delivery times.
We select Balsamiq for product cost and quality. It is intuitive, so it does not require much support or courses to start using it. It does not take up much space on the server, it is very light. It can be used in several operating systems. You can load the Bootstrap library which makes the screens look as similar as possible to the final presentation.
It is very good to present, clarify, approve and modify the screens of the application to the client. In addition to this, it helps developers to have a clearer idea before starting to program.
