Overall Satisfaction with Figma

We use Figma for designing and discussing design cases. Usually, designers create a project on Figma and present that to the team. Afterwards the team reviews the proposal by commenting on Figma. It is quite convenient because nowadays we don't see each other daily. With Figma we can understand each other very well since it is possible to comment on anywhere of the file.
  • Keep record of discussions/decisions - we could make use of the discussions and easily understand what others have talked about, then no need for repeated questions
  • Collaborate remotely - it is very important that Figma breaks the physical barrier for communication
  • I hope there will be an Mac app - I'm basically an app heavy user. I think it is always better to have an app (not a webview one)
  • Comments
  • Interactive mockup
  • It speeds up the discussions in the team, which we don't need to gather in a room for a decision
  • It keeps records - we can make changes freely but easily to roll back if needed
I think they serve different purposes. For Miro, we usually use that for workshops and brainstormings. There are some templates we can make use of.
For Jamboard, it is quite lightweighted so we use that for quick brainstorming or retro.
Figma is the only option for talking about design and product. I think there is no replacement for that.

Do you think Figma delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Figma's feature set?

Yes

Did Figma live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Figma go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Figma again?

Yes

As what I shared before, I feel Figma is doing pretty well for collaborating with multiple users (a team) to make design decisions and discussions.
Meanwhile, we tried Figma for a retrospective, which I feel that is too lightweighted job for Figma. In this case, Figma seems too complicated for the team.
