- Complete tool to design and prototype any business idea. - Figma versioning feature is great to showcase the creativity to product owner or any relevant person. - Collabration is quite simple and easy, product owner can easily comment out and tag designer for any changes
- Price: Price is bit high for young organisation
We have utilised to figma to design and prototype application before actual development starts. Figma helps us to have complete playable protype before actual development process begins.
Figma is very helpful tool for me as I develop mobile applications. Most of the UI designs are designed on figma. It is very easy to use and thus we use this for referring designs for our applications.The best part about Figma is that it has awesome collaborative features where we can add comments if we need any changes, and it notifies the designer.
The thing I dislike about Figma is that it does not provide support for 3D designs and layouts, where its peer's are capable of doing it. It also lacks the offline support because we can only work on it on a web browser or a desktop application. So, we need constant internet connection to use Figma.
Figma helps the designers to design components and visual arts. We use figma for referring designs while development. Many projects that I have worked on have designs developed on figma. Wireframes and screens look beautiful when designed on figma. It is very cost efficient for our organisation and also supports version control, which is very helpful for iterative designs. It is also very scalable and compatible as it runs on web browsers, so it becomes platform independent. A plus point of using figm is that it is collaborative tool which provides feature like commenting and feedbackks on the designs.
Figma took all the best parts of design software across the years and made a tool that you feel good using. My top features would have to be the cloud-based nature of the product, designing/prototyping/dev mode, real-time collaboration and the community!
Occasionally being web-based hurts when your internet is either down or spotty. Recently my internet situation has improved and this has made working in Figma no problem at all but there were times when I couldn't access or save changes to a file and it would crash.
As a product designer, Figma enables me to create basic designs, wireframes and prototypes to share product change requirements with teams like developers, product managers, or other stakeholders. Further though, Figma has sophisticated and wonderful features to create design libraries, animations and a community where designers can share files or concepts created with each other. There is also a robust plugin marketplace to add even more value to the product.
Figma is the best when it comes to UX design and userbility testing.
Price. The licencing costs are a bit pricey
We use Figma for Wireframes and designing ready to dev screens. We also use Figma for usability testing.
First of all the pricing as the free version is suitable for most usecases and if you need more the professional package comes cheap. Second the functionality and the stability of the software. Easy to use and we never (even with +15 persons) had any issues with speed and quality of services.
Not much. Sometimes and especially when you use it with many details it´s a bit slow and it feels not so fluid. This is not a big issue so honestly not worth to mention.
Prototyping of apps is the main usecase. Due to the easy to use functionality we sometimes use it even as a whiteboard in remote enviroements when we need to work on one idea/brainstorm in a team.
1. Real-time collaboration 2. Responsive Design 3. Prototyping 4. Easy creation and use of components and libraries 5. App has its own multiple plugins which are very helpful All this in one app is amazing and it makes your work easy. It also maintains the version history
I only feel that pricing may be an issue for a beginner designer or someone who is just looking to learn design. Also, since it's a cloud-based tool, it requires the internet to work. Hence offline editing may not be possible.
It helps build an online application for a logistics company and because of its collaborative feature, our entire design team can work efficiently. It seamlessly prototypes screens making it easy for a designer to demo an application to management.
collaboration with team in real-time is really helpful
Wish it was a bit more cost effective to have others as creators, but overall that's a minor complaint
Design tool for our software; allows our team to use the same components, quickly wireframe and prototype; share out tests to get feedback from external folks, etc
First and foremost, Figma offers a seamless collaborative experience. My team and I can all work on the same project simultaneously without worrying about version control or stepping on each other's toes. This has saved us so much time and frustration. Additionally, Figma's interface is intuitive and easy to use. The powerful and flexible design tools allow me to create complex designs easily. I particularly appreciate the vector editing capabilities, which make it easy to create and manipulate shapes.
I dislike Figma because the learning curve may be steep for beginners; there is limited offline functionality. Specific design features may be missing or limited compared to other design software.
Figma is solving the problem of collaborative design by offering a seamless and efficient way for teams to work together on projects. This has greatly benefited me and my team by saving us time and reducing frustration. Figma's intuitive interface and powerful design tools have allowed me to create complex designs easily. In contrast, the library of design assets has saved me time and integrated smoothly into my work. Finally, Figma's reasonable pricing makes it an excellent value for its range of features.
