Overall Satisfaction with Figma

Our designers use Figma to create UI assets. Figma is a great tool to design components and other resources in because you can implement design system tokens to quickly standardise branding and other elements. It is also very easy for our developers to understand what is needed and improves communication between the two teams.

We also use Figjam to host workshops with stakeholders and other team members.
  • Design tokens make standardisation very easy
  • The granularity of the design asset features (e.g. sizes and colours) makes it easy for our developers to engineer designs
  • Figjam makes it easy to host workshops online with multiple users and stakeholders
  • Tokens Studio for Figma is great, it would be good if Figma took on board some of the learnings from this
  • There is quite a steep learning curve for new users, so more in-product troubleshooting would be useful
  • Sometimes it's not as intuitive to use as I'd like
  • Tokens
  • Figjam
  • Easy prototyping
  • Saves designers a lot of time
  • Saves developers a lot of time
  • Good for sharing, which saves collaboration time
Figma is much more user friendly and collaborative. It works in your browser and contains everything you need really, whereas Sketch requires other tools to run it properly. It is also much easier to import and export things into Figma, which means we can work across lots of different programs if needed.

Figma is well suited to teams when they have some working knowledge of UX and UI design. It's most suited to UI designers and some UX designers - and can be shared easily with product managers, developers and other relevant stakeholders. It's not great for beginners or people who are not very tech-savvy.
