Overall Satisfaction with Figma

We use Figma to create user interface designs and prototypes for quick usability studies. Figma hosts our entire design system and keeps our brand consistent across all of our products. The business problem it addresses for us is that it allows us to create consistency across our products, and also allows us to create quick yet high fidelity prototypes for our impromptu usability studies.

Pros

  • User Interface designing
  • Component creation
  • Prototyping
  • Developer Handoff

Cons

  • Variables and Tokenization
  • More customizable frame system
  • Quick usability studies through prototyping.
  • Configurable system allowing us to change designs quickly.
Overall it is very intuitive. But things like change control and the newer variables feature could be more fleshed out and have more focus. Otherwise the standard user interface tools and functions are incredibly intuitive and if you are coming from Sketch or another UI design tool, Figma will be easy to learn. Yes, there are more and more features, and it gets harder to find these tools, but overtime it can all be learned.
Figma is web based, it makes it easy to access across all platforms. It is always updated and has a massive community which leads to some of the most useful plugins and the most useful community support compared to other UI design tools. They are always trying to improve the tool and listen to the community quite well.

Yes

Would you buy Figma again?

Yes

Figma is the go to user interface design tool. It continues to grow with more and more features. The variables and tokenization function is essential to making designs configurable in a very quick manner. I do wish it was much more integrated as the variables feature is quite hidden. Also, if it had a better branching / change control process, especially for the medical device industry, it would be amazing. The current version history is quite basic and minimal.
