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.

"The go to platform for wireframing and prototyping your websites."
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

It's quick. The speed at which XD loads and moves around, it is so easy to use and navigate. I can do live edits in front of clients while they critique instantly.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Scrolling on the feedback or comment site is slow. Hard to use sometimes. I find myself teaching other people how to use it.

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

We used to build websites directly in the website builder, but now we cut out unnecessary work by using XD.

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

I like how simple it is to just grab placeholder objects and create a simple wireframe. After the wireframe is made I can easily create repeating grid items and add visuals.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

If I want to include place-holder text I have to install a third-party plugin. That's a built-in feature in most other adobe products and seems like it would be natural for this.

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

It helps to create wireframes and web mockups quickly in an easy to share way.

"Awesome, easy to use, light"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I think Adobe XD is the first step made by Adobe towards a easier-to-use suite of tools. They put the best from PS and AI into a very simple tool, easy to use by UX/UI designers for any kind of UI prototyping, wireframe, sketches and even for fast PS-like activities. I prefer it over Sketch for its simplicity.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Maybe some functionalities are missing, they have to work hard in order to reach Sketch but, again, I prefer XD over Sketch for the UI

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

I produce UIs in minutes, my work is based on this. Also it’s free.

"App Designing with Adobe "

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

It is quite limited in terms of plugins to download, but if you do find them, then it’s kind of hard to implement.

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

We are as a team drafting app designs for our clients

"Best Prototyping Tool on the Market"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Being a user experience designer I have worked with a wide array of prototyping software. Sketch, InVision, etc, etc., but none of them quite compare to Adobe XD. I never thought I'd say this considering I have been an avid Sketch user for many years, but XD truly has come out fast and on top. The application is smooth and so easily integrated with the other Adobe products. A very solid product.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

One thing I wish XD had that Sketch does have is the ability to "go back to the last page" during prototyping. This is particularly useful when you have a single page that you can get to from a multitude of other pages.

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

A tremendous amount of design and user experience problems. This application is so quick and easy, I can knock out mock-ups and wireframes in seconds. Allowing for my productivity to thrive at the workplace.

"UI Designer"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I love the auto-animate release and being able to copy eps files into XD from illustrator and vice versa.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Shared XD document on cloud is buggy especially if two people are using it at the same time.

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

I can work a lot faster with the copy eps into XD and being able to prototype the movement of the elements.

I wish we were able to link to external links. This would would really helpful while finishing up a prototype.

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

I just finished creating a portfolio for a client in less than a week. Super easy to use and even they can go back in and change details they need to.

We love that the development team has an easy way to read and develop directly from an XD file and that assets are automatically embedded! The UX design aspects are great too for client presentations!

We wish that XD had a bit more similarities to Photoshop as far as the auto-palette creations!

"A Powerful Wireframing tool"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

AdobeXD is hands down one of the best UI mockup / wireframing tools on the market. And best of all it is free to use. We use it extensively to model our in house tooling systems. It even comes with some wireframing tool kits to get you up and running quickly. Hands down the best feature in the tool is the grid replication to create amazing carousels and lists.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

When we started using it, it was still in beta and still had quite a few glitches, but they seems to be sending regular patches.

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

We needed a wireframing tool to mock up our curation tool which manages our recommendation engine, Adobe XD helped us visualize how all the functions and configurations would be presented to our curation team.

"Perfect for drawing the screens of an app"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Easy to use, it has many features that make it different from others, such as the effects of transitions between one screen and another.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

It would be great to be able to load previews on your own domain. For now you can not insert videos or embed html code.

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

I have created interfaces for both desktop and mobile websites and for iOS and Android applications

"XD for prototyping"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

As a user experience designer, I was using products like invision to help with click through prototyping. The problem with this was that it didn't sync up with other adobe products. I like that XD easily transfers files from illustrator.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

I think the capabilities for designing are lacking a little. It would be nice to have more design tools, like illustrator but maybe not as fleshed out.

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

click through prototyping for user testing, prototyping user pathways to show upper management and teammates, viewing on the phone

"Intuitive Design and Seamless Collaboration"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

The repeat grid functionality is a huge time-saver when working on projects with repetitive elements like lists or card layouts. I can simply create a repeat grid and make changes once.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

I've noticed that the learning resources and documentation provided by Adobe XD can sometimes fall short. While the user interface is generally intuitive, I've run into situations where I needed more in-depth guidance.

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

Adobe XD is solving the issue of seamless integration across design phases. Previously, transitioning from initial design concepts to interactive prototypes required exporting assets and juggling between different software. This process was time-consuming and often led to inconsistencies in the final product.
