Overall Satisfaction with Figma

I use Figma for all design projects and visual concept creation. As a UX designer at my company, Figma is our main design software for digital and web products. It continues to be the best in class UX software and allows us to quickly ideate on potential solutions for customer problems, as well as test interactive prototypes for research. The tool also serves as a handoff point between me and our dev teams to see the design brought to accurate, efficient implementation.

Pros

  • Design Systems
  • Scalable Components
  • Auto Layout
  • UX Design

Cons

  • Free dev seats
  • Easier interface use for non-designer collaborators
  • Increase in design efficiency
  • Ease of collaboration between teams
  • Easy to present designs
Figma stands out against Adobe XD in that it is better in every way, easier to use and with more advanced tools that allow for greater customization of components and efficiency when designing. While Figma is not a 1:1 of Miro, the white boarding tool, it does have some overlap in the features. With the ability to drag and drop elements, create customer flows etc, FigJam is a clearer direct comparison to Miro.

Do you think Figma delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did implementation of Figma go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Figma again?

Yes

Figma excels for any design work creation that is related to UX design, wire framing, design systems and high-fidelity screens. In its limitations, photo editing is quite difficult and still requires Photoshop for advanced changes. Video editing is also non-existent. While Figma can emulate micro animations and transactions in prototype mode, there is no feasible way to export these for dev and instead must be recreated in a secondary Adobe software.
