Overall Satisfaction with Figma

Our design team uses Figma to create interface designers, and interaction patterns and to create a component library that makes product development easier with our development team. We also use it to create prototypes for user testing and validation. We have also used it for process flows and co-creation as a team.
  • User Interface Design
  • Component Library Creation and Management
  • Prototype creation
  • Non-designer collaboration; the controls are very design-focused so it's not as intuitive to use as Miro or other tools
  • Video conferencing; I think FigJam is ok, but it definitely needs some refinement
  • Eliminated the need for separate prototyping software
  • Still need to keep a separate white-boarding tool like Miro
I think Figma is much better than Adobe XD, in that it is trying to create collaborative software that serves full product teams and not just designers. However, I think Figma still has a way to go to replace a tool like Miro, which is much easier for non-creatives to work in.

Do you think Figma delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Figma's feature set?

No

Did Figma live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Figma go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Figma again?

Yes

It's well-suited for designers to work collaboratively with product teams. It's much more digital product-forward than the competitive Adobe products. Figma eliminated multiple products and tools for our organization. Figma can be hard for designers to co-create within it though, so we still use Miro for the majority of our product team collaboration tasks.
