Overall Satisfaction with Adobe XD
At our company. we are making android applications for our clients. The whole process of Android Application Development from start to end includes Designing, Development, Testing and deployment on play store. The most important and initial part is design of Android Application. For that purpose, nowadays companies are using Adobe XD as a tool for making a prototype of an android application, which will reflect that how android applications will look and what it will behave like with screens.
Adobe XD is used by our whole organization because Adobe XD is used in making prototypes of Android Application, iOS Application, and web development also.
By using Adobe XD, we can prevent most of the problems regarding design of our project. Implementing screen designs directly into particular IDEs may consume so much time later on if any problems or changes occur. Prototyping that design will make it easier to understand the behavior of that project down the line.

- Prototypes of Android, iOS and web applications.
- Can make wireframes of that project screen. After applying transition effects and animations, we can elaborate on the details to enhance the look and feel.
- After the prototype has been made, we can actually run that app in different screen sizes all sizes of Android Mobiles, iOS Mobiles and also web applications.
- Some basic designing particles are provided by Adobe XD library so that we can use it directly in our project.
- While this process of prototyping the whole project in Adobe XD and then testing it can take a long time, it will decrease the chance of design failure to almost zero.
- We can test android prototypes into Adobe XD's inbuilt system, but there is also one option to test that project on your real device. That option is only available on iOS devices only and that feature should also be available for android devices.
- After so many improvements, Adobe XD is still lacking some designing features like real-time collaboration. Third-party plug-ins are also not available.
- Adobe XD's User Interface is still a bit not so attractive compared to others like Sketch.
- Clients projects are always full of constant and real-time changes. Continuously making changes in the actual code of the project isn't always possible, and it can make a huge impact on the time and money of that particular software company. So we use Adobe XD as a final designing tool. We make all prototypes and wireframes and then forward it to the client so they can test it. After approval, we start of project development. This process will take some time but after this possibilities of constant changes will be nullified. This process is costing our company around $300 annually to purchase Adobe XD but it is helping us save thousands of dollars.
- Sketch
We have used Sketch software alongside Adobe XD to make prototypes and wireframes of our projects. There are some features which are exclusively available into Sketch and we don't want our clients to get shorted on any features, so that's why we use both.
