Overall Satisfaction with Figma

We use Figma to design and prototype our product UI, and also to create localized screenshots in different languages for our documentation.
  • Create a base UI and layer on additional components
  • Hide/Display different components on the UI
  • Export images of different resolution - useful to export tiny buttons at higher resolution.
  • With the Loco plugin we can instantly change the language of the UI design
  • A search feature for UI text would be very helpful. We have thousands of prototypes and it can be difficult to find a specific screen, so the ability to search for a text element in a design would be great.
  • We have used protoypes created on Figma across multiple departments - for sales and marketing, in training videos, for technical documentation, and of course the main area is in providing accurate designs to R&D to build our UI. So it is an essential part of our company tools.
  • The Loco plugin saves us a huge amount of time each time we need to publish documentation for new languages.
Figma is really our go-to design product. It is the industry leader and that's why we chose it.

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Figma again?

Yes

Perfect for designing product UI prototypes, especially complex platforms, particularly when you need to check that multiple languages work with the design (text length fits etc.)

It's also excellent for creating mockup images for documentation, marketing etc. (also in multiple languages)

Since there is a learning curve, it is a tool that needs an investment of time, therefore it is better suited for larger projects, and those that will require multiple iterations in the future.
