Overall Satisfaction with Figma

We switched from Sketch to Figma for the more open collaboration that Figma provides as well as the smart tools like the developer preview and auto layouts, symbols, etc. Previously we were using Sketch with Zeplin for handoff of our designs to engineers, but after switching to Figma, everyone agreed it was better and cost-saving for us.
  • Being able to leave comments on mock ups for more collaboration
  • Auto layout tools that you set up once and don't have to think about again or manually adjust things.
  • Easy prototyping tools within the application
  • Access control - it wasn't apparent to me at first that a project was shared with everyone in the company vs just people i choose to share it with. I think the inverse should be the default.
  • Sometimes it struggles to import old Sketch files - no clue how to make this better, but its frustrating
  • No clue, but we're paying less for other apps now that we don't need because Figma has many features in one.
Figma is inherently "smarter" than these other apps for its ability to create design tokens, generate code and is just better suited all around for screen-based design.

Would you buy Figma again?

Figma is great for mocking up digital designs - websites, mobile sites, apps, UI's etc. You still want to optimize your graphics in Photoshop for photos and Illustrator for vector illustrations and icons, but then can easily bring them into your Figma designs. A bonus are the FigJam boards for brainstorming and collaboration that also erases the need for apps like Miro or other whiteboarding tools.
