Overall Satisfaction with Figma

I use it mostly for prototyping and creating quick mock ups. It is useful for these purposes. My company hosts its design library on Figma which makes it quick to implement these design aspects to my mock ups. The score is usually 5-10 screens which start as screenshots and then i add design library components to them.

Pros

  • Design library hosting
  • Resizing tools
  • Component tooling

Cons

  • Image manipulation- I want to easily remove backgrounds and create PNGs
  • More intuitive "clicking" sometimes it is very tricky to select parts that are within components
  • Better instructions of how to capture components within frames. Sometimes i place images onto a frame but they are not actually sticking within the frame
  • Customer feedback calls: I am able to present design ideas to customers and guage their intuition on how theyd interact with the proprosed idea. We make tweaks after getting their feedback which is great to do before deploying something that wouldnt work
  • Quick mock ups: Presenting an idea to board of directors is much clearer when i am able to quickly present an idea. Figma is great for this and had helped me interact with people higher up in the company in presentations since i have something to show them.
Figma is better for mockups and prototyping
I prefer the other apps for flow diagrams as they are more intuitive, and people in my organization do not all have access to Figma so i often have to use those (due to cost of licensing)

Do you think Figma delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Figma's feature set?

Yes

Did Figma live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Figma go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Figma again?

Yes

Well suited for company purposes. Well suited for using the design lirbary.
I want to be able to use it equally as well as photoshop for creating personal images. I want to be able to (for example) create a tshirt design on Figma with ease. I have to move images into the app and remove backgrounds and manipulate existing shapes. It should have the ability to take pngs and manipulate them more easily.
