Adobe XD Pros and Cons
Pros
  • '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. 
Cons
  • 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.

"XD is a tool that is versatile for responsive design and continually getting better"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

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.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

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.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Super easy to use and probably the most flexible prototype building software"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

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

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

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.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Great tool for prototyping websites and apps"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

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.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

There are still features that are not yet available such as collaborative editing and document history.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"a professional way to create graphic interfaces"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

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.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

don't like the fact that most of the extra tools are paid, but still it remains a good product!

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

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!

"Probably the most powerful prototyping software"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

You can create as realistic prototypes as possible with Adobe XD. The system runs well both on desktop and mobile. Sync is very smooth. When you go beyond prototyping and the developers need to start coding, Adobe XD allows accessing all specs and downloading all assets easily. This is a must have tool for mobile app devs.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Sometimes we have experienced issues with syncing. Sometimes, especially as your files become larger, the app fails to open them. We noticed that this used to happen on the Desktop version more frequently than on the mobile version. Though, recently this problem has been almost gone.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have accelerated mobile app development and achieved nearly pixel perfect state.

"A good tool for user experience flow"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I like how we can create user flows for any web site or mobile application.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

The process of making the screens and adjusting the fonts isn't very smooth. I faced issues using that, and i felt it wasn't as fluid as it's competitor figma.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been able to present prototypes to my clients quickly and been able to get the feedback early on.

"Profesional Prototypes 🔥"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

It is the easiest and fastest way to create professional web prototypes.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Being a new platform, sometimes it generates small failures, but often they are insignificant or are fixed quickly and easily, or there is an alternative that avoids it.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

At the University of Girona they always ask for a report before doing any work. Thanks to this platform, I have been able to reduce the delivery time of the report to about half of what it usually took.

"Great software for designing software"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I like full control of the assets. It's very helpful to be able to use the same assets across multiple artboards and update them everyone as I continue designing.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

There are a few missing features in the system (side-scrolling artboards, hover effects, etc.) however the feature request online lets others contribute to help make the system better.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to fully design a system to send to the developer with ease. I can also create videos easily to show the developer how something should work whilst not wasting time creating animations.

"Adobe XD - Review"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Adobe XD is an Adobe tool for designing applications and websites. The main advantage of Adobe XD is the fact that the package has a free plan, another of the significant advantages of this solution is the fact that Adobe XD has a clear interface that facilitates work on the prototype/project. Using the program is very simple and enjoyable there is a possibility to share your work with your team, on your computer using links or mobile application available for free on Android, as well as IOS. It is worth mentioning that Adobe XD is compatible with formats of other Adobe tools thanks to which we can transfer our graphic design to Adobe XD in no time at all.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

While using Adobe XD I didn't notice any significant drawback except the fact that the beginnings of the program are quite difficult due to a large number of functions.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to using Adobe XD I can make a prototype of the design, which I can then present to the client, so I can make improvements at the design level.

"Fastest design tool"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

XD is the fastest design tool and its deliberately designed that way by omitting unwanted features.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Very slow development cycle. Essential features take a long time to get implemented. Windows users need to be taken seriously (live preview still missing)

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Provides a very quick way to transform ideas into clickable prototypes. The design process thereafter is also quick.

"Quick and easy prototyping for everyone"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Adobe XD is really handy and easy to use, unlike its other products. Coming from Illustrator or Photoshop I swiftly was able to navigate through XD as its user interface felt intuitive and fluid. Little things like copying and pasting results in the copied element appearing on the same spot and grids and measurements help create pixel perfect mockups, yet with enough flexibility and speed for low fidelity mockups.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Lack of design specs export locally (Internet and CC is required to do that) advanced prototyping animations are missing (only artboards animate, not individual layers). Compatibility with other software like Sketch is lacking and using the layer panel needs a bit of a different approach from other Adobe products.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Designing interfaces and visual experiences for various devices has never been so fast. While web development has been a thing for Photoshop historically, XD speeds up this process immensely. Sharing and export tools allow to share your designs easily with others, even if they are not familiar with XD
