Overall Satisfaction with InVision

InVision is being used by the product team to help build interactive prototyping for certain design flows. We also hope to use it going forward for user testing to get feedback on potential designs. It helps to address problems faced when presenting complex design flows and interactions that otherwise would be difficult to understand with just static pages.

Pros

  • InVision integrates with a lot of tools like Sketch where you can just drop the file in and have screens to work with.
  • InVision has lots of customization so you can set up flows for different devices.
  • It's relatively easy to use.

Cons

  • The hotspot templates are a bit hit or miss - sometimes the spot will be linked across all my pages while other times it will appear in bizarre areas of the page - I tend to have to manually make custom hotspots instead.
  • Some of the advanced prototyping features are a bit overwhelming to use, like adding forms, it would be nice to have some tutorials on those.
  • It decreases the amount of time it takes to get some projects approved since they become easier to understand this way.
  • It helps prevent designs that are less thought out of being developed - lets designers sandbox their ideas to refine better.
UXPin and Pidoco are more standalone where you can prototype AND wireframe in the same tool. InvisionApp is only for prototyping but it has the flexibility of working with your final design files or your wireframe files.
It's well suited to create clickable prototypes using design files you've already made. It's not well suited to make new designs. It's also good for sharing out the prototype using a link, but not necessarily a standalone fix for gathering feedback from users and internal stakeholders.
