Overall Satisfaction with Figma

We use Fimga right from the ideation stage. That helps in bringing teams to converge much faster from multiple ideas to what really resonates with all stakeholders. The prototyping and ability to mirror screens on devices mean the user interviews are a lot more focussed and users do not have anything left to their imagination. Extremely fine nuances like animations, wait times, and screen transitions help in getting very good feedback from the users.

Pros

  • Nuanced design at high speed
  • Screen mirroring on handheld devices for real time feedback
  • Prototyping and animations

Cons

  • Search functionality. Once you have 100 screens, it becomes very difficult to search for a particular screen.
  • Ability to make changes in multiple places at once. Often times it is one change in copy, a small change in design and it has to be done in all the screens.
  • Smart Shapes: Ability to create designs from scribbled designs of stylus.
  • Development iterations go down significantly once you start using Figma.
  • The time from ideation to final designs is significantly low.
  • Performance on heavy designs with 100s of screens is seemless on mac.
The detailing and extent of designs that are possible in Figma are unparalleled. Screen mirroring is one of the most used features as the others do not offer this. In terms of load time, responsiveness, lag etc. there is a marginal improvement. Figma works better even when the file has 100s of screens with lots of images.

Best Suited for organisations that need to spend significant amounts in the development of Apps and Websites. Even more true for B2C apps and productivity apps. Very helpful in getting a buy-in from stakeholders and users.

Folks have used it for storyboarding and ideation. I think a whiteboard and stylus does a better job in such situations.
