Figma Reviews & Product Details

Figma Overview
What is Figma?

Figma is a feature-loaded design tool with tools designed to help users mockup, edit and design websites. The platform takes a more collaborative, cloud-based approach to design, which means it allows team members to design simultaneously and give each other continuous feedback as they work. This makes collaboration simpler and more effective. A free plan is available on Figma, however, premium plans offer more extensive tools and robust capabilities for web design and development as well as collaboration.

"Best collaborative design/development solution yet"
What do you like best about Figma?

The ability to collaborate with internal and external teams while also having version control

What do you dislike about Figma?

There's room for improvement in the prototyping stage. It feels like the functions there are secondary to the rest of the software.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows our team to work collaboratively internally and also to share and collaborate with our clients.

"The best tool for Product UX/UI design there is"
What do you like best about Figma?

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!

What do you dislike about Figma?

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.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"An **incredible** tool but not without flaws"
What do you like best about Figma?

I love that Figma is browser based and I can pick up a design file from any internet connected device with a browser. The multiplayer feature has forever changed the landscape of design collaboration. I like that Figma is the first tool that I have used that allows me to design in a way that is similar to interfaces are built in code. Feautres Components, Variants, Variables, Auto Layout are ones that now that I've incorporated into my teams workflow I can not imagine working without them.

What do you dislike about Figma?

I think this is a double edged-sword. I LOVE that Figma is browser based. However, AFAIK, that also means that Figma is restricted to 2GB of memory per file/tab. I work on a large design with a robust system of shared libraries, and we consistently bump into the the file size warnings since notications start appearing around 50% memory usage or 1GB. The experience of using the tool also tends to start slowing down as your file consumes more memory. When I first started using Figma in 2016, its features were more bare bones but it was also really fast. As features have been added the experience has definitely slowed down. I trust that the INCREDIBLE team at Figma will continue to prioritize speed, perfermance, and the experience of desinging with their tool as they continue to add new features in the coming years.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

Figma makes file management, version control, and remote collaboration painless. Figma is also starting to improve the designer and developer collaboration experience which is also a huge plus for me and the teams I work with.

"Its a powerful and versatile design tool and collaborative feature is top notch."
What do you like best about Figma?

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

What do you dislike about Figma?

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.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"A great tool to improve development + ux guidance"
What do you like best about Figma?

See the pixels, copy colors, and see paddings when we are coding new features. Also, the demos in preview mode when the designers are making usability test is really helpful before coding.

What do you dislike about Figma?

Lacks when the files have multiple layers. Sometimes, I need to search a specific screen that the designer provides me, but if I cannot see where I cannot search for it.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

The functional prototype is developed before coding. And also, the communication between software engineers and UX designers is better if both have proper information in those files.

"More than a Design and Mockup Tool"
What do you like best about Figma?

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.

What do you dislike about Figma?

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.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Very helpful to Web Developers"
What do you like best about Figma?

Before Using figma we used to work with Photoshop which was always a guesswork regarding the font-size, border-radius, colors etc. and the Icons needed to be sent separately because they were Vector based. With Figma the guesswork is gone and all i need is to click the element and see all its attributes and download it as SVG if needed.

What do you dislike about Figma?

the UI is sometimes laggy but I guess it's because of all the data inside it.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to see the exact attribues of an element and download it as SVG if needed.

"Very easy to use and love how you can collaborate on it in real time"
What do you like best about Figma?

The simplicity of using the tool rivals that of anything else I've ever used. I used to despise using things like MS Vizeo because it was so finicky. I started to watch my co-workers in different departments use figma and I decided to try it out. It's so easy that I picked it up without any instruction and I create workflow's and send them to my client's and subordinates frequently.

What do you dislike about Figma?

I don't think there is anything that I specifically dislike yet. While I haven't tried it in browsers beyond chrome I would hope that it is optimized for Safari and Edge.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping me quickly visualize workflows and problems so that stakeholders can either confirm or respond with revisions. This has sped up the process of resolving certain issues tenfold.

"Easy for Designing Apps and Pages"
What do you like best about Figma?

We love how figma makes it really easy for our team to create prototypes and pages and allows us all to collaborate on it and give immediate feedback.

What do you dislike about Figma?

We wish the settings for Figma were much easier to locate. It's hard to find the Billing page for example or the Profile section.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can build high-fidelity designs in one-place instead of having it cluttered through different Drives or Dropboxes.

"The right way to collaboratively design products."
What do you like best about Figma?

I think one of the most helpful part of Figma is the fact that it is web based and this often means that I can pickup any computer device and access my Figma design in a matter of seconds or even take part in collaborative product designs with team members spread around different locations. Being able to prototype and collect feedback from my colleagues in this way tops my list of things to love about this wonderful design software.

What do you dislike about Figma?

Because Figma is primarily web based, it often means that it is ineffective without internet connection. While I rarely have found myself needing to use Figma without internet connections , there have been situations where there was internet outages or I was in a location with poor internet connection and I basically couldn’t do much with Figam , despite its subtle offline capabilities.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

Figma is the primary software that my team has relied upon for product designing and prototyping purposes. With Figma , our prototypes are closer to the main thing as possible. Once we get our designs right on Figma , we no longer need to worry about our designs not being compatible with specific screen sizes or reacting badly on mobile screens as Figma takes care of all of these potential hurdles.
