Overall Satisfaction with Zeplin

We use Zeplin to upload our final designs to be attached to jira tickets for dev handoff. I think it also accidentally gets used to organize release designs and be able to go back and find design iterations. The product managers will also use it to show and discuss designs for their tickets, as well as development using it to discuss when issues come up. Our UX architects will upload flows in the projects to be referenced as well. It also was used to hold our design system library for reference for a littler while.

Pros

  • Organization - tagging, filters, search, etc.
  • Easy to use - very little training needed
  • Integration - this is continuing to expand and help.

Cons

  • collaboration functionality
  • organization for large companies/teams
  • more admin capabilities
  • Zeplin has helped keep handoffs clear and easily accessible
  • I like the cross collaboration capabilities with our partner teams
  • There is a learning curve for sure for new users
I would say overall its easy to use, but I think those who don't use these types of products there is a learning curve. I would also say the tutorials or updates on new features are not as obvious or shared clearly. I like the tool from a designer perspective, makes collaboration easier. Account creation and management is a little tricky too.
Zeplin is used for us purely as a handoff tool. It keeps it clean and clear for devs and product managers what is completed. It has some good labels and other organizing features. The different levels of access are also super helpful to give the correct people the view they need.

Do you think Zeplin delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Zeplin's feature set?

Yes

Did Zeplin live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Zeplin go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Zeplin again?

Yes

I think it just makes it easier to share designs and give a lot of context to developers or others. I personally like uploading to an external program to have people see mocks vs working in the design program. I think it helps cleanliness and organization of projects.
I really like the ease of use and the use cases that many different teams get from using it- from design, to development, to product managers, etc.
