Overall Satisfaction with Axure RP

This is a must-have software when developing a fully clickable prototype with variations. Axure allows for preparing a polished prototype that may be tested with the users before the development process starts. As a result it makes the development process easier and saves the budget for the team. Furthermore, UX-wise the team may provide better user experience for solutions developed by the company. It is a win-win situation for both: the provider and the client.

Pros

  • Prototyping
  • Variations
  • User experience design
  • User interface design
  • Variable user flow

Cons

  • Real-time collaboration
  • Friendlier user interface
  • A wider range of graphic design features
  • It reduces the cost of implementation
  • It reduces the development time
  • The solutions are tested before the development process starts
  • It is possible to use the solution on any device
  • It provides both adaptive and resposive solution
As a designer I want to see how the things work and how they are used by the users. It is not only about making the things easier for developers, but also about validating the concepts and ideas of designers. It may happen that we need to base on assumptions and prototyping using Axure lets us check if our solutions actually work for the target group.
Due to the use of variables and possibility of adding complex user flows and related conditions Axure gives a feel of real solution, which may be tested without a particular scenario (freely used by the user, if a feature or app os complete). Other tools are rather UI focused, Axure is strictly for UX designer. It may not be the smoothest tool, but it's worthy to crack variables and conditions out. For the sake of your users :)

Do you think Axure RP delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Axure RP's feature set?

Yes

Did Axure RP live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Axure RP go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Axure RP again?

Yes

Axure works best if you want to test your solutions and approve user flows designed on ideation & modelling stage. Prototype testing and iteration of testing allows for provision of beast possible UX for users, which is a key cause for using the tool by designers. And it reduces the development cost for both: the client and the provider.
