Overall Satisfaction with Axure RP

We use Axure RP as our preferred tool of choice for the ux designers at an ecommerce online retailer. We use Axure RP to create project deliverables for various project stages like wireframes, prototypes, sitemaps, flowcharts, and personas for web, IOS and Android platforms. These deliverables are then presented and shared with developers, stakeholders and Project Managers for review.

Pros

  • Created high fidelity wireframes
  • Create HTML based interactive prototypes
  • Allow for notes and annotations
  • Allows for comments from reviewers

Cons

  • Example site templates
  • File size reduction
  • Performance issues if the file is too big
  • Less developer review revisions because the deliverable can be better communicated using interactions and notes
  • Does not have the best collaboration hence more reviews might be needed to collaborate
  • Increase in on time project deliverables due to spotting development problems at a wireframing stage.
Axure RP has a simple drag and drop feature that allows designers to build wireframes, sitemaps and prototypes in half the time as other software design tools. The main reason for this is that other design tools do not readily make available a library of templates and presets out the box that make the life of a designer easier to get started.
Figma is a well known design tool but is heavily skewed towards creating pixel perfect UI interface designs and hence more suited to UI designers. Sketch and AdobeXd, similar to Figma have always been vector based software design tools which affords a designer more control over spacing, scaling and duplication of design assets. Axure RP serves a slightly different audience (ux designers)which requires very rapid wireframing (less than an hour) without thought to colors, font, spacing and padding.

Axure RP is well suited to creating project deliverables for various project stages like wireframes, prototypes, sitemaps, flowcharts, and personas for web, IOS and Android platforms. This allows for in device user testing on projects. The scenarios that it is less appropriate is in creating pixels perfect UI designs as it's vector flexibility is not as strong as tools like Figma or Sketch.
