Overall Satisfaction with InVision

InVision is used to design websites and other digital marketing materials by the graphic design team.
It simplifies the upload process for clients to review and for developers to pull chunks of code from for the development phases.
  • 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.
  • Ease of use.
  • Ease to get designs online for client review/developers.
  • Ease to organize within file.
  • Initially it had a positive ROI, it simplified life.
  • However other design programs do many of the elements now substantially better.
InVision is a bit limited overall compared to other programs like Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator and XD. At the time we selected InVision they were one of the leaders and introduced a lot of new features that were beneficial. However now we've moved back to many of the Adobe platforms as they have updated their capabilities and have a more robust system.

For simpler design projects InVision is great.
