Overall Satisfaction with Balsamiq
Balsamiq is being used by 2 or 3 departments. This is helping product developers, engineers, and application designers see a basic idea and allows for them to be on the same page. It helps engineering, especially, because it is quicker than a full mockup and allows for quick turnaround with feedback allowing for bigger changes to occur early and often, rather then being locked into a design and wasting time trying to change it.
- Quick to make changes
- Easy to use and understand what you need
- There are wireframes objects for almost any type of UI imaginable
- More icons selection
- Not having to store and keep assets with the wireframe
- Easier to share and collaborate at the same time
- It has been a positive impact in keeping engineering from implementing something before we have a general idea from application design. Now we can have a basic direction before getting the color scheme later.
I use a combination of both products, I use Balsamiq for quick wireframes to get the over all UI layout hammered out. I then use Photoshop to better design color scheme and exact padding.
