Overall Satisfaction with Adobe XD
We are using XD for wireframes, website mockups, and interactive prototyping. It's being used by our Marketing Department. XD allows us to quickly wireframe ideas, reuse components from existing designs and get fully functioning prototypes to stakeholders faster than we've ever been able to iterate before. By integrating natively with the creative cloud, our existing catalog of assets work flawlessly.
- Wireframing/high fidelity mockups. We're using it for both responsive websites and apps.
- Prototyping. It just gets better with each update, especially with auto-automate.
- Ridiculously small learning curve. In my opinion, everything seems to be just where I would expect it to be, especially being familiar with other Adobe products.
- Rulers and other basic design elements. You can get plugins, but I feel this should be native.
- Better handling of symbols. I feel they will get to near Sketch-level sooner than later.
- Online collaboration for teams working on the same project. My guess is this will be coming very soon with the new cloud save feature.
- Ease of use means we are up and running in no time.
- Integrates and is a part of the Adobe CC platform (which we already subscribe to) so there was no additional cost.
- Online proofing and developer handoff links are the icing on the cake. Keeps everything in one place.
- Handles all our assets (mostly created in Illustrator) like a dream. Even imports native Photoshop docs, too, so that saves us so much time round tripping.
XD can do everything we need and more. It's already part of our Creative Cloud subscription and integrates with our current tools. It was really easy to get to work and establish a workflow for almost all projects where we are designing, prototyping, and iterating. Feedback and developer handoff are very easy and fluid as well. Sketch/InVision is still the preferred workflow for many (with good reason) but this is by far the best fit for us and we've tried several.
