Figma Reviews & Product Details
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.
Figma is also often used as Wireframing of choice in UI/UX Design and Product Management tech stacks.

Figma Pros and Cons
- A free plan is available.
- Premium plans are more affordable than the Creative Suite.
- Collaborative tools allow developers and designers to work together.
- Figma is a feature-rich platform with robust capabilities for mocking up websites.
- Figma only concerns itself with the design aspect; you’ll still need web developers to create and implement the necessary code using other software.
The best thing about Figma is I can see the designs along with the code I need to develop in Android. I can easily download the assets in different formats like JPEG, SVG, PNG etc. Now, they even have a developer mode which lets me see all the dimensions and spacing easily. When I get designs in Figma, it's super easy to implement and we can even integrate Figma with Slack and receive notifications for any comments and stuff. In my work, I use it almost daily.
I feel the navigation panel could have been better. It's difficult to navigate.
It helps me with the prototype of the app that we are supposed to make. How the app would look and feel. It even supports user interaction and animation.
I like how user friendly it is and how every is easier with figma most especially the plugins.
Some plugins need to be paid before using.
It helps me present to the client with great details and it is very easy to export, share and collaborate with your colleagues.
The ability to create design prototypes using Figma, that are as close to the finished product as possible, is what has endeared me the most to Figma. I use its smart animates tools to introduce beautiful transitions into my prototypes and to layer interactions using dynamic layers. The above talked about ability to create lifelike representations of the final product we have in mind in design terms, makes Figma an indispensable software tool at my company.
Offline access on Figma is very limited and devoid of important features. While I rarely work online ,there have been a few occasions when I found myself in locations with limited or no internet connectivity and I struggled to achieve anything with Figma.
Figma takes care of the prototyping needs within my department. Its strong collaborative features has allowed me and my teammates to be able to work simultaneously on design task, leading to faster completion times for our projects on the one hand and also improving the quality of our final design projects. I must also say that a key benefit of Figma comes from its constant regular updates, which has continuously extended the possibilities of what we can achieve using Figma for prototyping purposes.
Clean interface, very easy to create designs as a designer and easy to export elements/css as a developer. I love the presentation prototype to show designs to clients, they love to see the design come to life!
I find it quite hard sometimes to create responsive designs, there is no options for columns, only rulers. We have to «guess» if it is 33% or 25% for example. Not a big deal though!
It is so easy to work as a team with designers, developers and clients. Everyone has the same link, so clients can leave comments directly in Figma. No more back and forth via email.
Figma is na game-changer in the world of design and collaboration. As a professional designer, I've used various design tools over the years, but Figma stands out as a truly remarkable platform.
Internet Dependency, limited offline access, steep learning curve for beginners. It's worth noting that many of these weaknesses are relative and might not be significant issues for all users.
ts user-friendly interface, real-time collaboration, and cloud-based nature make it a must-have tool for design teams. Whether you're a solo designer or part of a large creative agency, Figma's features and capabilities will undoubtedly enhance your design process. It's the future of design, and I can't recommend it enough.
A veces siento que tengo ideas muy buenas pero necesitan mucho detalle para explicarlas correctamente, Figma me facilita el trabajo creando flujos de manera muy sencilla, no necesito ser experto.
Realmente siento que es muy bueno, sin embargo sería genial que tuviera como un Figma academy para las personas que no tenemos tanto conocimiento en la herramienta
Desde producto a mi equipo le permite realizar prototipos con las ideas que les brindo, sentimos que vamos muy de la mano con diseñadores e ingenieros con el uso de esta herramienta
As someone who has just started using Figma, I was able to adapt to the tools very easily. It is very practical for both project management and my designs.
Sometimes I have to look at what I want to do on Youtube, even if it's small designs. I'm wasting some time this way.
I take notes of the important insights I find daily, and in the next stage, I move on to making prototypes from the designs I have collected. At this stage, I make my wireframe construction easier and move quickly in the product design part.
- Ease of use - Ease of collaborating between cross functional teams
- Developer mode needs some improvements
- Designing and collaborating between design teams and engineering teams
It's UI is very easy to use. Even beginner level designer can also create a good prototype of applications. It's user interaction is very good as compared to other ones
Some time it feels very minimal in prototyping tools as compared to Adobe XD. Rest everything I like about it
We had an application idea for visitor management for my company we have to create it's UI with wireframing so we can create Android and iOS apps easily by understanding the prototype it worked well with our requirements.
The UI of the figma tool is very simple and minimal. It provides very hasslefree setup for project creatinon and its prototyping. We have designed our website using figma and did wireframing.loved its ease of use
Till now i havent dislike anything about figma. Some time it lags while importing high resolution images , thats a little bit disappointing.
We have our courier service website which needs to be developed we needed to prototyping tool with good ease of use and UI so that we can create prototype for website which will help our developers to easily develop website, figma worked well with us.
