Overall Satisfaction with Figma

I've using Figma right before our product launch. Once I get the wireframes done, I sit along with the designer to complete mockups. Figma has been a game changer for us as we can "collaboratively" design the screens together with other designers. The changes reflect instantly & we can add comments to others' work right on the board itself.
  • Dev mode is an excellent feature that enables developers to build perfect pixel screens.
  • Real-time collaboration with an instant feedback provision option really helps us to quickly fix the changes.
  • Figma lets you easily convert product designs into react components & the best part is you don't need to worry about the CSS part.
  • The software really lags if the project file is big. It sometimes crashes when you import too many assets.
  • Version Control feature often finds difficult to locate, we have to deeply explore the tool to check who has made what changes.
  • Not too many Font options & we've to import the font styles from outside & to do this I really spent 30 minutes of time. A tutorial would have been helpful.
  • It made us try innovative design solutions without depending on too many tools.
  • Reduced the time to market with the "Dev mode" feature. Able to develop in Figma itself.
  • Increased the efficiency & collaboration between Developers and designers. Now we can work from anywhere without any need for the physical presence of employees.
Visily is still developing and it lacks many advanced features. Unlike Figma has better collaboration & real-time feedback updates. Designers have all the tools readily available & visible on the dashboard itself. Prototyping is very advanced on Figma with multiple sharing options. The dev mode feature sets it all apart from other design tools.

Figma is excellent for seeing the designs on the mobile screen. Once you design on the laptop, you can connect to the mobile to see how it actually looks on the phone. With this option, we can easily make the changes based on the responsiveness it gives. They have multiple options to download the file which makes it great to share with the team to quickly scroll & evaluate the designs.
