Figma Organization

Overall Satisfaction with Figma

My team uses Figma mainly for product design purposes (design ideation, establishing and using our design system, design jams with multiple collaborators) and as an alignment tool used with cross functional partners. We use it for quarterly/annual planning, ideation workshops, design reviews, knowledge share presentations, sync meetings, etc. Figma makes it easy for the org to jump into a file and easily leave feedback and jam on different ideas.

Pros

  • Easy for collaboration
  • Great for simple prototypes
  • Autolayout is amazing

Cons

  • I was disappointed in Figma Slides. I expected an easy transfer of assets from Figma -> Slides, but that wasn't possible and the entire brand system would've needed to be recreated.
  • Component interactivity doesn't always work as expected in prototype mode.
  • A built in annotation tool would be nice without needing to rely on plug ins.
  • Remote collaboration has been great with Figma. Our cross functional partners also find it easy to use and most use Figjam on the daily. PM and ENG are able to easily provide feedback and see design updates in real time.
It's overall quite easy to use if you've used other design tools before. For folks who are completely new to design tools, it can be a bit overwhelming. There's also still a learning curve for the advanced tools. Sometimes, I still can't get the prototype to work the way I want with interactive components.

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?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Figma go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Figma again?

Yes

Figma is the primary tool the org uses for product design and collaboration. It's well suited for distributed teams that are looking to collaborate and jam. I think it's a good replacement for in person collaboration. Figma Make is still a work in progress, so if you're relying on AI to create clickable prototypes, there may be other tools that handle this better.
