Overall Satisfaction with Figma
We rely on Figma extensively for our design processes in my organization. Our use case spans the entire design lifecycle: Brainstorming and wireframing, creating high-fidelity mockups, prototyping to visualize and test our designs, design handoff to implement our products and design system maintenance to keep our files and assets consistent across different the design teams within the organization.
- Figma allows our team to collaborate seamlessly on design projects. We can work simultaneously on the same file, leave comments, and iterate efficiently. This real-time collaboration streamlines our workflows.
- Figma’s prototyping features enable us to create interactive prototypes directly within the design tool. We can validate our designs with user testing, ensuring a user-centric approach.
- Figma helps us maintain a consistent design language across our products. We create reusable components, design tokens, and shared libraries. This ensures brand consistency and accelerates our design process.
- Figma’s version history allows us to track changes, revert to previous versions, etc. This is crucial for our large-scale projects and collaboration across the team.
- Figma bridges the gap between our design team, developers, and other stakeholders. We share design specs, export assets, and communicate design decisions effectively thanks to it.
- Advanced prototyping features for high-fidelity mockups
- Some improvement is necessary to be able to use Figma as the primary vector tool to create illustrations.
- A visual diff tool could be handy to show visual differences between versions to aid in reviewing changes.
- It is a tool that one can reach easily via their computer, tablet or phone independent of the platform of the device.
- Design handoff to developers without the need of another tool to export assets.
- It has a gentle learning curve. One can master it in a few weeks time.
- Since Figma is a all-in-one tool, it has doubled efficiency our team's daily activities
- Not depending on a 3rd party software to export assets for design handoff reduced the operation costs significantly.
Figma is the tool with the best design and collaboration capabilities compared to other tools such as Sketch, Adobe XD, etc.
- It doesn't force designers to use a single platform or device as Sketch still does.
- It is free for individual designers which some other tools never offers except a short trial period.
- Figma listens users carefully and acts quickly to update the software.
