I like the design prototyping functionality. We use this tool all the time at my company to create prototypes, share them with various stakeholders, collect their feedback, and answer their questions live on the prototype. Invision is just so simple to use, and every department can quickly digest a new design and give their feedback quickly. I like how the prototypes are interactive, so the viewer can click around just like they would with a live product. I have zero complaints about Invision, and I think we will be using it for a long time.
I truly don't have anything I dislike about it. Perhaps if I was more involved with actually creating the prototypes, I could find some things to nitpick. But for my current role, I use Invision to view design prototypes and provide feedback only. For this use case, it does the job perfectly.
Getting quick and actionable feedback from stakeholders on new designs we are working on, sharing prototypes with stakeholders and clients. We realized the value of getting design feedback quickly so we can make adjustments and start development as soon as possible.
InVision allows you to not only execute designs, but also to share with a team of people. This team can then comment directly on the designs, and those comments are visible to everyone. This allows for linear discussions to happen, which proves to be significantly more streamlined and efficient than doing something like sharing files and trying to collect, consolidate and organize feedback from these sources. Also, InVision allows you to build out somewhat living prototypes. For example, if you are designing a website, you can link the navigation to the correct page designs. There are also ways to show things like accordions and dropdown menus being expanded, and even some light transition effects (sliders, fade effect, etc) .
Here's a scenario worth avoiding. I manage a development team at an agency, and for a long time we didn't have actual paid seats. Only our design team did. For them, they had access to login and see all versions and variations of a design. For us, each was shared as a sharable link. As new versions of designs were created, the design team thought we were being notified since they all were. However, the only way we would know is if they provided a new sharable link for us to access. When that didn't happen, we continued working off old designs because we didn't know anything changed. While this all makes sense from a business level, it's worthy of noting so you can avoid this kind of issue if you work in similar kind of environment. InVision is great, but before committing to it, be sure you factor in the cost to get the right number of actual seat licenses.
The ability to share designs in a propotype manner, with both internal and external (clients) teams and collect feedback is invaluable. It has saved out account managers countless hours trying to manually consolidate and organize feedback and change requests through design reviews. Being on the development side, I also love the fact that the design team can roughly mock up some transitions, hover effects, etc to let us know that kind of functionality is expected.
InVision is multifunctional, it allows me to do more things than I can mention, I can design, build a prototype, share everything I want, try designs and develop all the business potential with the designs of our presentation to the world. I can achieve my job of finding new ways and ways to achieve a perfectly representative image of our product and InVision has everything to be able to achieve it.
The software can be generally a bit complex to use, the interface has cost me a bit to understand it completely. I need to integrate other applications to work properly, and in doing everything becomes extremely slow and heavy, I would like that problem to be solved because the use of InVision is really important for the work I do.
InVision has allowed us to achieve a fresh and new image of what we really offer in the market. It is an effective tool that has given me the possibility of obtaining, through various designs and thanks to which I can share them, a much greater scope and thus reach many potential and active clients. In an authentic way, it has enabled us to creatively create, administer and design our image to the world.
Quick and easy to learn. Shorten learning curve
Nothing really hmm prob their price,,???
Clickable prototype made the whole process valueable
Design management software, is a network that allows you to share and exchange designs with other people, where you can comment and participate in an exchange of ideas and opinions, thus allowing to integrate all the team of joint work with clients so that, for half of previous designs, achieve an impressive image. The fact of being able to personalize according to my tastes and criteria gives me a great work experience. The integration of PhotoShop makes all the work much easier.
The interface in the beginning seemed quite old, it cost me to understand how to use it and so that each tool worked, however I took the habit and understood each of the functions that it offered me. It is really wonderful software and easy to use when you understand how to configure it and share all your design works.
It has solved many problems with that has brought great benefits and solutions to various problems that we may have had some time. - Less workload and more free time to devote to the development of our projects, thanks to systematization and interaction between work team and clients, now the design decisions take less time. - Design management and organization in the quality of the same. - Better business exchanges thanks to which we offer a better product.
InVision is very easy to use and get started and has very good integration with many design applications like Sketch and Photoshop. Their features for mobile prototyping are exceptional, allowing you to specify gestures and animations between slides.
I wish they had more flexible pricing options for freelancers. I also wish they had more support for responsive web design.
We use InVision to prototype new features for various websites and applications. We have been able to save on a lot of development costs because InVision allows to quickly create a functioning prototype that we can then send off for user testing before the actual implementation.
The ease of use and the integration with Sketch (Craft). Very good UX (when it works). Also, their blogs, events and communication in general is great, providing great value to the design community and engaging users by going beyond the product.
Unfortunatelly, Invision is quite unestable, in both versions, desktop and mobile. For the desktop version, the links/hotspots fail quite often and for the mobile version, some projects fail to open. Real time synchronization between desktop and mobile, which is a great and useful tool, doesn't work most of the time. We also miss some features like the possibility to disable "swipe" for mobile prototypes, which causes unexpected behaviour on our usability testings.
Despite the technical issues, the benefits are huge for our company. It help us to think, conceptualize, prototype, test and validate new products and features before implement them. It's also the main tool, along with Zeplin, that we use for QA and especially, for project delivering between design and engineering.
Invision is great for the times where you just need a simple prototype and need it quick. It integrates seamlessly with Sketch which is great when you're constantly making minor revision. You don't have to continue uploading new graphics. There are also lots of great collaboration tools that allow for quick feedback with clients.
Invision is extremely expensive for large corporations. Not only are you paying a monthly fee per user, but you also have to pay for anyone who wants to collaborate. It's also not a great option for needing to create complex micro interaction prototypes.
Creating quick prototypes with little to no need for training.
