Clean interface with ever-improving functionality.
Unable to animate at the layer level and create prototypes solely within the product.
Creating interactive prototypes to test in front of users in order to receive timely feedback for speed to market delivery. InVision is robust and excellently designed. It stands up to it's audience.
I like how Invision allows us to easily collaborate as a team with the design prototypes we're brainstorming on. My teammates can easily add their feedback and suggestions on the comment section thus, easier to handle versioning of the different design prototypes we're working on. My team really love Invision.
I think Invision still need to improve its wireframing tools (just like Balsamiq). I use Balsamiq and Invision together because with Balsamiq, I can use it even though I'm offline. But both tools I really use together all the time.
Invision has helped us design products that fits our customers' needs. Our sales team can easily input their comments on Invision based from customer's feedback. At the same this, it saves our time since we don't conduct meetings anymore just to discuss the design direction. Everything is handled on Invision.
Collaboration ability and using it in live meetings .
The Mac syncing agent used to not get everything right or my file wouldn't upload quickly.
Audience retention and user engagement with a returning visit. Invision helps build those workflows to showcase to stakeholders.
I love the fact you can share access and commentary with multiple teammates to get an elicit feedback. Plus, the fact you are able to shoot a prototype into the world to test is a huge win.
The only dislike I have is the fact that you are limited in prototypes depending on your plan.

InVision allows fast, pixel-perfect demos that give a good idea of how an idea will actually work. They also continue to improve their service. It's fast, intuitive and easy to share. I have introduced several classes that I teach to InVision and I'm impressed how easy it is for students to work out how to use the service. And thanks for allowing us to use InVision for free. I hope my students go on to make fabulous careers with the assistance of InVision.
It's hard to mock up some kinds of animations. I know they are working on this.
I use InVision to teach interaction design to college undergraduates. For them it's a chance to understand what the details of creating a working interface are.
We love InVision. Being able to view things in situation and share them for review with people outside of our team with that experience is priceless. Comment features are great, as are the board for collaboration on both the creative & administrative sides.
Creating a board with different areas can turn into too long of a page and is hard to keep track of what you're looking at.
We are using this tool amongst our web design team in order to share and present our work. We needed a way to do so to show it in situation so when we are approving individual assets we can see how it will look online with the current content. We are also able to store photos for the locations of our photo shoots, and catalogue our talent and include any information like size notes, rates and agency contact.
Invision helps to create mock ups easily.Easy for anyone to use.It allows to try multiple design solution before delivering the actual mocks ups for the projects.
Only the performance I don't like in invision.Multiple projects can be created and n number of mock ups can be uploaded but if the count of mock ups in a particular space is more than 1000 for example it takes a lot of time to open the space.Sometimes opening a single mock up takes a lot of time . Performance needa improvement
I use invision app to create prototype / mock up/wireframes for my project and present to product owners to provide then iser experience.It is very helpful to create multiple projects and upload n number of mock ups where multiple people can access the space at the same time.Collaboration is pretty cool.
It helped to create interactive and dynamic prototypes, allowing designers to showcase user flows and interactions effectively.
There are some performance issues while dealing with large files,unable to work in offline connection.these things should be addressed
It helped me to collaborate with my team during product development so that we all are in sink with the information.
It is easy to learn, easy to use, and it's super helpful. I used the free version so it accomplished what I needed
Nothing that I can think of. It's been a while since I use it. I recently switch to figma bc it allows me to create and prototype in one software
Finding a good interactive prototype product for usability testing
It's easy to use. You can hide the hotspots, which is great for user testing. You can sync your design files directly from Sketch. You can manually upload files and screens easily, and InVision makes it easy to reorder, replace, relabel, and organize all your screens. The collaboration capabilities are also great for working with developers who can leave comments and questions directly in the prototype through the comment feature. InVision is also great at keeping the history of comments, so you don't lose important conversations and design decisions.
As more and more design tools start to integrate their own prototyping abilities, InVision becomes less needed in my design toolkit. It's much easier to manage your screens in the design file itself that in InVision and that is simply innate to the design tool itself, not because of InVision.
Collaboration with developers became much easier with InVision. The tool's comment feature is powerful and enables developers and other team members to leave comments and questions directly in the prototype so that you don't have to have meetings or Slack channels to have these conversations. InVision is also great at keeping the history of comments, so you don't lose important back-and-forth that leads to impactful design decisions. The comments feature reduced the number of meetings needed with developers and enables more collaboration.
Quick and easy to use. Makes mockups so much easier.
It took to much time to learn and is so.ewhat clunky sometimes
Able to quickly make mockups for my clients.
InVision is an excellent tool for designing user interface based on feedback, requirements, and collaboration. The level of detail that one can specify truly knows no limits. We use InVision quite frequently when redesigning UI for website modernization projects and what we love about having this tool is that all members find it useful - be it designers, testers, or developers. Visuals are the best way to communicate an idea, and this tool allows us to all be on the same page about the end goal. Not only that, it lays out exactly how we can get there through layers upon layers of design specifications that developers can easily follow. The sleek appearance effectively gets buy-in from the client, and this one-stop-shop has made meetings/working sessions so much more efficient. I especially love the comment feature and am excited to continue using this tool.
There's not much that I dislike about InVision, but one of the cons is that switching between modes (demo mode to prototype mode) takes too many clicks. It would be fantastic to have a responsive UI feature to resize/rescale desktop designs to fit the mobile view automatically. Designers have complained that the tool can be sluggish at times, but overall they still love having it. I've also noticed more glitches when accessing InVision from mobile. Other than that, our team genuinely loves it!
The biggest problem we're solving with this tool is that cross-function team members can get what they need to succeed in their own roles. UX/UI designers have the means to design prototypes, developers can find exact specifications that they need to follow, and testers can use those specifications to understand what they are testing. We are also able to show these prototypes to clients and get their feedback early on in the development process so we can quickly update the design based on their feedback. This tool has helped us minimize miscommunication and limit the number of meetings we need due to the complete blueprint basically being laid out. We can also have a source of truth to bring up and serve as the standard we need to follow. InVision has been the optimal way to keep the team united and moving fast.
It's easy to share links with colleagues and designers are able to quickly create prototypes
Not great for seeing a history of design changes and tracking comments
We are able to share design prototypes with stakeholders easily and are also able to use this in user testing to get feedback on designs.
The ability to quickly prototype concepts for testing. It offers a great inspection mode for developers as well, to grab styles and assets. The Craft integration makes it simple to update the prototypes and iterate on designs. The Freehand tool also provides a way to quickly brainstorm and whiteboard on existing prorotypes.
It can be sluggish. I also wish there were more prototyping capabilities. However, this is great for my purposes and provides great context to the development team.
Overall, Invision helps me streamline the product design process.
Easily upload design, make prototypes, and share with colleagues and stakeholders for feedback.
Our Dev team is having difficult time in using Inspector to get all the specs because it is not user intuitive for them. As a result, I need to take screenshots of specs for them which defeats the whole purpose of having Inspector mode.
Trying to eliminate many rounds of visual QA between designers and developers. Inspector mode will mitigate the issue of many rounds of visual QA if Dev uses it properly.
Sharing workflows and design specs can be challenging, especially for remote teams. Invision eliminates the issue with realtime updates. Hex codes, font sizes, measurements, ect, are all handled by the Inspect mode. Prototypes are quick to make in browser, or even right inside Sketch with the use of their Craft extension for Sketch.
The prototypes are very basic. More than just point-click would be nice. Than again, products that offer that are also much more complicated.
Instant sharing of designs, specs, and assets with developers and stake-holders.
It is an interactive design platform that is easy to use. It allows sharing design and customer interaction through comments. It provides tools to import images from cloud storage and optimizes prototyping.With InVision it is possible to manage a portfolio of projects in an organized and simple way.
Sometimes it is difficult to work from the mobile application because it lacks some tools of the web version.
Provides a means to present our designs in an interactive and friendly way. It is a solution that enhances collaboration and reduces email communication.
The ability to put a clickable prototype in front of a customer.
It isn't clear to me how to take a prototype and make it fit compatibly with different mobile screens and sizes.
Getting quick and in-depth user feedback on digital experiences.
It is an easy-to-use space that allows interactive design. We can share the designs with the client and he can give us his comments through the platform. Deliver essential tools to design prototypes without complications. It is comfortable and easy to setup.
I have no complaints about this software. It provides a good performance.
Increases collaboration with the team of designers, improving productivity. The tool allows us to communicate effectively with customers.
The devs on my team like it for its ability to inspect elements/colors/assets
The free version limits you to just one project, so the screens don't stay very organized.
I use InVision for sending detailed and accurate mockups to the developers on my team. Makes our design to engineering handoff process faster, more accurate, and more organized. The integration with Slack is great as well.
