Adobe XD Pros and Cons
- 'Adobe XD boasts a functional, well-presented interface
- Prototyping is straightforward (for those with experience)- it doesn’t require additional plugins or services.
- Collaboration/co-editing is available so you can share files for review and work together in real-time.
- You can view prototypes on your phone and open files from other Adobe products.
- Although XD comes with illustration tools; you can’t draw custom shapes
- Although XD is constantly updating itself – although these provide users with great features, things are constantly changing, which can be annoying. Also, these updates sometimes come with bugs.
- If you don’t already have a ‘Creative Cloud’ plan, you’ll have to pay a monthly cost to get full use of the features.
Compare Adobe XD with other popular tools in the same category.
Ease of use. Also the frontwards and backwards compatibility of the Creative Cloud tools.
The collaborative aspect of XD is lacking. It doesn't (currently) allow more than one person to work on a file at the same time.
Designing interfaces and mapping out solutions for our upcoming web projects.
One can easily use XD without any background of design or anything else. It is easy to use, implement and share.
XD just updated itself and made sharing files and everything hard. Now you have to pay for full version to use all features.
WireFraming, Design, Etc
Adobe xd is very easy to use. It has so many amazing features. We can design user interface and build prototypes. It is very suitable for working in a team. It's cloud based service i.e. your design is saved in the cloud and there is no chance of losing your designs. Backup gets refreshed every 15 minutes. You can easily copy screens, add symbols, text, pictures, diagrams, change colors etc to make high quality designs. We can add all sorts of icons (drop-downs, search bars, zoom in etc.) which are essential things in user interface of any application.
Some features are not so easy to use and require some guidance or training before you can use them. For e.g. In prototype section, you can create the flows of screens. But it's not so easy to use. There could be hints popping-up to better explain the features.
Our company is using Adobe xd for developing user interfaces for certain desktop and mobile applications. This is an amazing tools to actualize our ideas into high quality visual designs so that software development team can very easily understand the requirements of design thinkers.
Adobe XD has been integral in my work at a non-profit, in which resources and budgets are constantly being reviewed. Also, due to IT security structures, I am restricted to using a Windows device and thus, design software compatible for that OS. I have some personal Apple devices that I can use seamlessly for testing and responsive review while my main work completed on the desktop. The integration of the prototyping and team review modes is also assisting my team in creating a better workflow for sharing designs/prototypes remotely for design reviews and Dev handoff.
Adobe is constantly updating, so sometimes interactions have moved or changed to become more robust, which always throws me off a little. But the payoff of these enhancements outweighs my slight, and albeit temporary, inconvenience to learn the change.
I am building responsive enterprise style SAAS with a companion mobile app for accreditation software in the healthcare/medical industry. Adobe XD is helping me solve redesigning and prototyping enhancements to our products with very complex back-end structures, and visually dense front-end data/information for users. I'm utilizing Adobe's components quite heavily, which allow me to quickly build these complex screens in a fairly quick and modular approach. It also has allowed me to efficiently build style guides and UI libraries, so I can quickly get Dev new assets, as well as identify when there is an odd-ball element built by original designers that are either not consistent to the rest of the areas, or do not follow best UX/UI practices.
1. It is totally user friendly. Even for first timers, it will not take much time to figure out the working procedure. 2. Can be shared online even when using free account. 3. Can be exported in a lot of formats according to your need
1. Cannot not directly coded from there. 2. Crashes can be noticed and after reopening previous work is gone. So have to save after every change.
It saved a lot of my time in web designing. Moreover you can just export the design and add it in the webpage directly. Yes, the adding part can be little tricky sometimes.
Being able to present a preliminary image of the user interface helps us to discuss the direction and changes that our project will take. We can take into account all opinions and make rapid changes because it is much easier to make changes in the design stage than in the development stage. Adobe XD saves us valuable time in the development stage because we all already have a clear idea of what we have to do.
There are still features that are not yet available such as collaborative editing and document history.
Adobe XD helps us design interactive interfaces that simulate real user navigation and thus present a prototype of the website to customers and see what things to improve or correct before starting with the development of the project.
I like Adobe xd because, it is a good program for creating graphical interfaces, it allows us to create interfaces for multiple devices at the same time, so that we can see how our layouts adapt to various sizes. It is a light and very powerful software, I love being able to download the graphic packages that this software gives us, they are a good starting point to model our layouts.
don't like the fact that most of the extra tools are paid, but still it remains a good product!
Since I have it I no longer have problems designing and creating graphical interfaces, and in just a few clicks I can adapt them to each format and customize them for every device!
My favorite feature in Adobe XD would have to be prototyping and collaboration. Never before has it been easier to gather feedback from stake holders in your projects.
XD being a fairly new program is still missing a few features that would make life easier for designers. Simple things like swapping sections of a page without having to create a new artboard would be nice.
The biggest benefit we have realized from Adobe XD is a simple way to gather feedback in a centralized portal.
We have been absolutely loving the components and linked assets. Its been a brilliant way to share our design system between teams
I do think the prototyping needs some work. There are lots of funky features but it's lacking some core robust functionality. Only today it refused to sync my pages because everything had to be linked to the homepage for some odd reason, quite limiting.
Collaboration between visual design and UX design.
