Overall Satisfaction with Figma

We use Figma at our Company as a design collaborative tool in all stages of our design processes, in creating researches, to ideate and brainstorm about new features and prototyping (low-high fidelity prototypes) or maintaining complex design systems. There is also a possibility to creating diagrams using Figma jam files, to showcasing and improving Information Architecture, or to quickly draft User flows.
  • To organize data
  • To building a design system
  • Creating different prototypes
  • Creating Interactions and motion designs
  • Adding an option to work in “private-mode” making it possible to “hide” your work in early steps of ideations. Sometimes it feels wrong when colleagues are starting commenting on design decisions in very early stages, unnecessarily.
  • Adding notifications if the Figma file starts to be larger and heavier to load about suggestions to keeping the file structure more tidy.
  • Constantly trying to prioritize all the functionalities and keeping the app intuitive to use.
  • It is a great tool as already said, but the pricing is not the best tailored especially for smaller, still growing companies. It aims to be obviously a more enterprise tool, so it doesn't really pays off for small projects.
  • It was more promising seeing the app in its early stages and hoping to be able to gain more options for free for individuals and freelancers.
  • It would be great to improve the app by listening more to the designers, not just the business owners.
Figma ruled them all out by having regular updates and becoming the leader in collaborative design app. Personally I liked Adobe XD better, it had a better feeling when working on a project, it was also faster but Figma won because of the “collaborative” part that it offered. Now everybody can have their opinions even if they got nothing to do with designing.

Do you think Figma delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Figma's feature set?

No

Did Figma live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Figma go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Figma again?

Yes

Best suited app for collaborating on a project and especially for creating prototypes. There can be issues unfortunately when taking care of more complex design systems, sometimes it needs time to load the whole project, which can be stressful to observe, not knowing if the project will be loaded successfully or not.
