Overall Satisfaction with InVision
InVision is used by our UX team in order to stitch together prototypes. Often we create mockups and wireframes in Sketch, import them into InVision, add hotspots and scroll zones to the screens, and link the screens together in a clickable prototype that can then be shared with customers externally, or our developers internally.
Pros
- InVision is great for putting together prototypes because it's fast and simple.
- InVision is great for giving specs to your developers that they can inspect because it gives them the information they need to build it.
Cons
- Large InVision prototypes can often be slow on mobile phones because they have to download so many screens.
- InVision prototypes are pretty limited in terms of functionality.
- InVision has helped us to validate ideas with customers before investing time and effort with development.
- InVision has helped reduce the need to go back and forth with development on mockup specs.
Other design tools have been creating their own prototyping functionality, which has made InVision less valuable over time. It is much more convenient to use the same tool for both design and prototyping, because it removes the unnecessary steps of exporting, importing, and syncing. InVision has tried to solve this by creating their own design tools. However, their design tools just aren't up to par with other design tools.
