Overall Satisfaction with Figma
Mainly for creating prototypes for usability testing. Sharing static content with stakeholders is fraught with risks where they misinterpret or assume behaviour. Being able to rapidly create interactive prototypes and share them enables us to have a test platform, a vehicle to get feedback from stakeholders, and a way to communicate intent with developers.

Figma is much more evolved than Sketch, that requires a lot of plugins to be comparable. It’s more collaborative and easy to jump into calls without leaving the Figma environment. Adobe XD was ok but seems to be on the wane, and had performance issues. Axure RP is powerful, allowing user input and better logic but takes a lot more work, and it’s harder to get realistic looking results.
