Overall Satisfaction with Figma

We use Figma to design and prototype user experiences across our entire product suite of e-commerce systems. From product catalogue & PIM, CMS and marketing through to storefront, checkout and customer service - every aspect of the service design is regularly reviewed, optimised and improved and Figma is the tool that allows us to visualise the future before we commit to building anything. This gives us confidence with usability testing that we’re building the right thing and then the engineering teams can review, estimate and plan based on the scope defined in the Figma files. Without Figma, these tasks would be very difficult. AI tools offer more intuitive prototyping however Figma is still winning at being a canvas editor that maps out messy problem spaces and acts as a communication tool to foster alignment in complex cross functional teams.

Pros

  • Canvas editing
  • Team wide design system libraries
  • variables and tokens setup
  • Commenting for review and refinement
  • Sharing prototypes for feedback and approval

Cons

  • Interactive prototyping with form fields
  • Figma make performance slow and laggy
  • Figma make quality of outputs does not match competitor vibe code products
  • AI design generation for canvas
  • Cut engineering delivery time
UI keeps changing multiple times a year for little to no reason it seems, which makes it difficult for people to keep learning different ways of doing things they used to be able to do easily
It’s doing well in the canvas editing, whiteboarding with Figjam and commenting for feedback. It’s a better choice for collaboration and design fidelity so it won’t fully replace the AI tools we’ll keep using both and agree on the workflow between tools

I’m the Figma team admin and regularly advocate for everyone to get on board the app. We now have thousands of users and our bill is $85k per year. It’s great for engineers, content teams, UX designers, graphic designers, CRM/marketing and more. Everywhere it’s being used regularly reports good feedback for us to continue maintaining the licenses year on year
