Overall Satisfaction with Adobe XD

Adobe XD is being used by our design team (me) to build prototypes of our software before handing off to the development team for building. Currently, I am the only one who uses it, as I am the lead UI designer at our company.
  • Integrates with other Adobe products.
  • Easy to use.
  • Not as scaleable as some other prototyping tools.
  • Strong in wire-framing, but lacking in other areas.
  • Adobe got us in the door with wire-framing and prototyping in general.
  • Helped us close the gap between design and development.
Adobe XD is a very useful tool for building wireframes, but I've now turned to Figma for my go-to wireframing and prototyping software. The thing that both Adobe and Figma have going for them is that they're available on Windows, as well as Mac. A lot of tools are Mac-only. Figma goes the extra mile by having a browser-based version of its software, which still has all the same features and functionality that their desktop app has.
In all Figma just seems to be more feature-rich and still very easy to use.
I've never had any reason to reach out to support with Adobe XD, the product is pretty intuitive, and it's very widely used so it's not hard to find training videos on YouTube to learn more and get better at using it.

Adobe XD is great because it has a free version. Wire-framing is one of the things they do best, however, I've found that the more complex the software is that I'm prototyping, the less practical Adobe XD becomes. It's great for making high-level wireframes, but the more you get into the weeds with a design, it becomes obvious that other tools may be better suited for the job.
