Overall Satisfaction with Figma

Personally, we use figma for 4 main solutions: Brainstorming, UI design, prototyping and handoff processes. Every wireframe, iterations and high level fidelity design our company make is done in Figma. We are 3 UX/UIdesigner. We have even left aside other programs, replacing them with figma: we dont use powerpoint, we do our presentations in figma, we dont use word, we write on figjam, we dont use Miro, we think in figjam. It has become our most important tool.
  • Collaboration with other designer and devs
  • Prototyping
  • Whiteboard brainstorming
  • Variables is complicated (Beta)
  • Dev mode is complicated (Beta)
  • UI design
  • Prototyping
  • Collaboration with everybody and shareability
  • 40% increase the digital transactions
  • $0,5MM increase
Whimsical is a platform that I mostly had use for wireframing. It has a very poor AI feature and, personally, it only helped me to make me design in wireframes and not jump right into mid-high fidelity designs (Its not a platform for that). It could be use for flow charts and mind maps, but Figjam is way better for that kind of stuff and is already in the tool I most use: figma.

Well suited:
  • Wireframing
  • UI design - high fidelity
  • Handoff process
  • Brainstorming sessions
  • Iteration design sessions
  • Design Crits sessions

Almost everything related to UI ends upo with Figma being the best choice. There are "Somewhat suited" scenarios, like UX research, usability tests, interviews, observations notes.

Not so well suited scenarios:
