Figma Professional

Overall Satisfaction with Figma

We use Figma for all our application UI UX designs and wireframing. Our designing team use it daily and as the product manager/COO, I review the designs daily getting them ready for development ahead of the development sprint. We also explore different ideas of our application in Figma. Our engineering team recently started using it to draw technical diagrams.

Pros

  • Figma is the best at UI UX designing and wire-framing. The tools and how they have structured it make it easy enough to use
  • The dev mode of Figma improved significantly recently allowing the devs to easily get the designs into code
  • Figma also integrates well with Linear which we use for product management

Cons

  • I feel Figma used to be a lightweight app in the past but has become sort of heavy and takes up a lot of memory
  • While more features are great to have, I feel they are slowly taking away the simplicity it had
  • Figma helps us to visualise the end result of a feature or an improvement before development which saves us money because development is costly
  • It helps us get initial feedback from users before developing it
Having used Adobe XD in the past, I can say it is the easiest to use in the market. But with recent changes I feel they are slowly taking out the simplicity and the application feels a bit heavy.
Figma definitely has better UX than Adobe XD and also is light-weight compared to XD. The eco-system is stronger with Figma if you are tech company.

Do you think Figma delivers good value for the price?

Yes

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

For UI UX designing it is the best out in the market in my opinion. The eco-system is pretty strong now with a lot of the software/tech companies using it and a lot of other tools support integrations to Figma.

We recently started using it for technical diagrams but there is definitely room to improve if you compare it with something like Miro.
