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 best for app UI and prototyping design in adobe ecosystem"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

My favourite is an auto animate feature, this reduces time and gives some ideas. 3d transformations, linking files like vector documents in illustrator. Then we can link after effects files also for animation. Lot's there in adobe linked works.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

When working with collaborative mode this makes a little slow and some mismatched data makes confusing in the pipeline process

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

Creating application prototypes and mockup designs for developing applications. Most of the time I'm trying new transitions and experimenting with animation and transitions.

"Easy to use"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

The system is intuitive and easy to use.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

It's easy to do things out of order. Once a document is signed it's hard to go back and fix things.

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

This allows us to do e-signatures consistently.

"A good program, but could use some development before it takes over."
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

The fact that everything is built to be simple makes the program very easy to jump into and play with to build UI wireframes and mockups. I also really like that the mockups can be created with clickable elements to make the mockup feel more like an operating product. The best part of XD is the prototype element of the program, which allows me to walk my clients through my build and fully see the concept in a quasie-working form. My favorite part of XD has to be the component element, as I can create components that do different things that most apps do now allow.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

The program simply feels new. It's straightforward, and in most cases, that's a great thing, but in some ways not so much. It almost seems as though it's so simple that I flip between XD and Photoshop because there just simply isn't enough options on XD to fully get the job done. The basic nature of the app is great to learn with, but it makes the photoshop love in me want a bit more to play with. As I've become more comfortable, I continue to turn corners and want more than what is currently offered.

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

The largest problem that XD solves for me is being able to let a client walk through a website or app buildout. Without the interactive options that XD offers, I am forced to explain my conceptualizations to the client and hope that they follow along efficiently. This allows for my presentations look much more complete and thought out rather than simply conceptualizing with clients and hoping that they can follow along with me

"Good tool for basic application design"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

AdobeXD has a clean and intuitive user interface (as most Adobe products do), and the basics of wire framing are easy to pick up. A particularly handy feature is the ability to reuse assets across art boards, which saves time when mocking up multiple pages and making styling changes.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Basic UI animation was easy, however, more advanced UI animation is either impossible or requires manipulation of elements to simulate functionality, rather than actually performing it. For example, simple transitions are very easy but elements such as drop down menus are not readily available -- you have to use multiple elements and transitions to simulate the behaviour.

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

Useful for the wireframing of applications on a basic interface level

What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Prototypes feature is awesome, easy to share, smoothly run ability, its a powerful UI UX layout Tool, overall it's a simple software to use, with a lot to provide.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Adding additional features was fairly slow a times and it doesn't have all the features necessary for prototyping

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

Replaced Photoshop and made the design process easier by offering features better than the present.

"The features of Adobe XD"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

What are the advantages of Adobe XD? The interface is very simple. It works performance-oriented while keeping ram usage to a minimum. Objects can be handled more comfortably. Vector-based, such as Adobe Illustrator. This allows you to get a clearer picture. We can position the objects from the layer screen as in Photoshop. Whether using shortcuts, such as Adobe Illustrator or by using the mouse, we can provide transitions from the drop-down menu.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

The biggest disadvantage of Adobe XD is, of course, that no layers are created. Therefore, every change made overlaps. Careful creation of your work will help protect you from errors.

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

People often ask "What is Adobe XD?" he asks. Let me answer now! Adobe XD is among the best user-oriented development programs among other programs. The main objective is to understand how to develop a website or application that will please the user as much as possible while learning as a designer or developer. Adobe XD allows you to fully focus on the goal of delivering the best user experience.

"Great tool that has come a long way"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Adobe XD gets better every day. It's easy to use and i love the prototyping capabilities.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

I think Adobe XD is missing some of the functionality that Sketch has, which is why I use sketch for most of my mockups. The symbols and plugins in sketch make it my go to rather than Adobe XD.

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

The main thing I use Adobe XD for is small prototypes. I copy my mockups directly out of sketch and paste them into adobe xd. As long as they are fairly straight forward Adobe XD can handle this very well. If i need more complex logic in the prototype, I end up going to framer and coding.

"A great software to draw mockups"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I like the fact that with this software I can both design websites and APP (Android and IOS). I find that this software is both very simple and very useful, the large amount of documentation allows even beginners to learn how to use it. Our graph and I use this software to create leyout prototypes for APP and UX / UI. Furthermore you can download already pre-existing graphic packages to adapt our Mockups to the standard ones of the following parent companies: Apple, Google, Microsoft or others of the project. The software is updated.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

there are some points that still make this software a very young software: drawing boards that are going to be modeled are often duplicated during use (I still don't understand why). Deaigner handoff tools often have size problems.

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

Now I realize Mockups with great ease, despite numerous performance problems, but I see that the problems have already been reduced with the current updates!

"an excellent program to draw mockups"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

It is a very useful tool for designing websites and apps in a simple and intuitive way. It soon became a valuable tool for every web designer who has to design a new website or app. The application is in fact equipped with several tools designed to create prototypes and mockups, tools that simplify the work of those who have to fine-tune the design of apps and UX / UI. Also you can choose the format (Apple, Google, Microsoft or Web) depending on the destination of the project. the software house provides numerous video tutorials and examples.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

I find it very slow One of the most important and interesting features of Adobe XD, the one related to the test phase that allows you to see how the project looks in desktop and mobile versions. Unfortunately the application often fails me. I also found the slowness of the installation annoying despite having an SSD.

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

I find it a software that is very scalable from beginners to professionals. personally I learned it from self-taught and I admit that it is easy to learn with the many guides, it offers solutions for every level of user. I find the great documentation behind it particularly useful.

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

I like that Adobe XD comes with a tutorial video package when you first download it. Not a lot of softwares do this. So when I first started using Adobe XD, I was very happy to see that the video tutorial would lead me through how to work with the software. Also, I like that you can use phone templates in Adobe XD, so you're basically creating what I like to call "a tap feature" by using different templates and "coding" for the navigation tap features for an actual phone. It's like a phone simulation (See screenshot below for what I mean)

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Adobe XD lags a lot for me. I don't like that when I'm "coding" for the tap features and the navigation features for simulation purposes (e.g., such as creating something to present at a meeting, such as a template of a phone screen / phone app). Adobe XD lags a lot in this, and sometimes the features don't work properly when I'm trying to drag arrows, drag around pictures/icons/etc.

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

Not solving problems in ADobe XD, I'm just simply creating designs in it. benefits: there's an option to share the screen as a link, or as a file, so it's really great when I finish a design and i can just basically make it into a link. Then at a meeting, as long as I have the link, I can present my design easily.
