Overall Satisfaction with Balsamiq
Balsamiq is currently used in the Software Development department, as a design tool. We rely on the tool to design screens that are discussed with the internal users, the versions of the screens are made and it is possible to assemble a whole process with all the screens and it is shown as a presentation for the final approval before starting to develop.
- It is possible to make several versions of a screen and remain related to then submit them to evaluation with the user.
- The application is inductive, or requires much explanation to use it. When working with a functional user it is easy for him to post comments or make a modification.
- Integrates with the bootstrap symbols, which allows the screens to be seen as close to the final developed version.
- Duplicating a library should only be done from the libraries, it has happened that I duplicated a library, and when I realized I have already designed several screens with the duplicated library, which makes me lose information when I delete the duplicate library.
- I would like to see a blackboard-type version, where at least two people can interact in the same design at the same time. This is because there are clients with whom remote reviews are made.
- It does not have a Spanish version, there are functional users who are asked to make comments or changes and do not use another language.
- Significantly improved planning and delivery times.
- Rework is significantly reduced, because after the information is collected, the models are made and they are reviewed with the client, showing the flow, fields, etc.
- Projects close on time and it is easier to visualize with the client to approve scope changes, which translates into time and money.

Balsamiq is selected for cost and product quality. It is inductive, so it does not require much support or courses to start using it, it does not take up much space on the server, it is very light. It can be used in several operating systems. You can load the Bootstrap library, which makes it a good option to see the screens as close to the final presentation. Functional users find it very easy to make comments or create changes in the presented models.
