Love that it supports @2x + and I really like how easy it is to make prototypes and it’s incredibly easy to send them to your device via SMS
I wish there were more advanced prototyping options like swipe actions etc. Most importantly to overlay gifs and video
Prototyping and the ability to share with a wider audience and would be great to have an improved feedback feature or implement more features from something like usertesting.com
I like that Invision has made it easier for my company to share wireframe & mockup prototypes with our clients. This tool allows us to show the client the user experience without having to flesh out the whole site in development.
I really wish that Invision had an Adobe illustrator and Adobe XD integration.
Before we had Invision we never had a great way to share our mockups to the client. We would have to save out all of the pages into a PDF which made it a nightmare to show the client the full user experience.
I love that the interface matches Adobe products like Photoshop and Illustrator so it's easy to quickly build designs using elements and layers.
I find it difficult to quickly share my project with clients and teammates through a public URL link.
InVision makes it so easy to design interactive web pages in a much more dynamic way than Photoshop or Illustrator. They provide easy to use tools that reduce design time almost in half!
Invision is one of the best software for sharing and making prototypes, it is so easy to use and understand for any novice, the prototypes are also interactive which is more exciting for the clients to see. They also have feature for user testing and collecting information after the design is all ready this is specially very good as you do not need to use another software again for testing. Invision also has an option to make mood boards which is also helpful for showing to clients all in one place and it also supports GIFs. Invision has also come up with InVision studio which is such a wonderful product on its own. There is soo much scope with invision studio, it is better than all the other designing software as one can also animate and prototype within. The best part is that it is FREE, who does not love FREE products.
There is nothing much that i dislike in Invision as i regularly use it and love it. I think maybe a few things which can be added as another product is maybe project management although they already have task management but project management will help alot. I think they should start prototypes for AR/VR and MR too as these are the new medias. This will help them to capture the future market too.
Invision helps me to design better products with immediate feedback from clients through the comments sections and also user testing with their additional feature of user testing.
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.
Lo mejor de InVision es que permite una interacción muy fluida de los integrantes de las diferentes áreas (desarrollo, diseño, calidad, gerencia) que están involucrados en el proyecto. Los puntos fuertes que considero que posee son, el manejo de prototipos, la simulación de la navegación requerida, la interacción por comentarios y el historial de cambios. Por otro lado es una aplicación de usabilidad muy intuitiva para cualquier perfil (técnico o no) que requiera interactuar con ella. En general una gestión integral del proyecto que la hace una herramienta excepcional en indispensable para cualquier empresa que desarrolle software.
Hemos tenido ciertos problemas con la sincronización cuando hay varias personas haciendo cambios. En especifico cambios que no se han subido y que ocasiona que se continúe trabajando en diseños viejos.
Mantener un solo diseño del proyecto o prototipo de software, con visibilidad controlada para todas las personas involucradas. El beneficio es tener el proceso complejo del diseño bien encauzado manteniendo la visibilidad durante su desarrollo, con lo cual se consigue una gestión eficiente de esta parte de los proyectos.
Quick and easy to learn. Shorten learning curve
Nothing really hmm prob their price,,???
Clickable prototype made the whole process valueable
Ability to share multiple projects cross-platform, free-hand is a great tool for stakeholders, and inspect is wonderful when communicating design specs to developers. Life is much easier now that there is a one-stop shop. This tool is great for both small and large organizations.
Before the launch of studio, it required a lot of external plugins from Sketch to sync designs to Invision automatically.
Invision allows me to communicate prototypes for feedback to clients, leadership and various stakeholders in the organization. Additionally, it is the single tool that our web and mobile developers use to consume final design and flows.
I love the hot spots and history of the viewers, I use the history portion to find out who on the team has viewed the project and when. I like knowing who has viewed my project, and who is commenting. I love that they have launched their own version of Sketch/Photoshop called Studio and I recently got the beta, it's amazing. Love that I can just open my old files right in the new program. I like the new darker back ground and the plug-in integration.
Not too many downsides to this program. When exporting links to end users, the page is slow to load.
Sharing prototypes with people outside of my network is the best benefit. I don't have to worry about providing links to download software to interact with my prototype. Its all viable from a computer with an internet connection.
Best aspect of InVision - it's an all in one suite for prototyping. I really enjoy being able to prototype and collaborate with my team from one program. InVision's inspect has also made it easier when I am sending designs to developers. Our team definitely works faster thanks to this tool.
I would love to see more tutorials within the software or web application directly vs having to navigate to a specific section of the site with tutorials.
InVision has resolves any issues our team has previously had in terms of communication between design and development. It's easier to prototype designs with it and it's very easy to share with users or testers.
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.
It is a very complete software that considerably facilitates the work necessary to exchange designs effectively, where all customers and colleagues can participate and collaborate to put together an impressive design. It has great systematical functions that participate in an excellent way in the whole process of the public exchange. The Sketch integration method is very useful for me and the whole experience of being able to control and customize everything is very satisfactory.
So far I have not had a complicated enough problem in which the technical support has not contributed everything to help me solve any problem. I think everything works very well, with all the specific limitations from the beginning, which of course, I knew before I started using it. However, those things have not affected me. The software works perfectly for me.
I like that the benefits have been quite large, such as: - Saving of time invested - Workload relief - Greater professionalism - Growth and improvement in negotiations thanks to prototypes that we present to clients before sending the final product - Better administration and management of the presented designs. - Organization between work colleagues. - Ease in business negotiations.
It is a fairly complete software. It allows you to develop the creative business potential, where you can make several destinations thanks to the rapid sharing function, where according to convenience you can customize, if you wish or not, enable comments or divide the design by sections. The development of business models impresses customers and gives me the ability to keep them up to date with business projects. Being able to integrate other important applications, whether Sketch or Photoshop have made it much easier to export my sketches and use them there, also with the files, I can take them directly from the application I use thanks to the integration system; this function reduces the effort of having to pass everything from one side to another.
It brings a bit of complications to the use of the integration function of other applications. Although I mentioned earlier that it is quite a big help because it relieves the work load, and makes things very easy, it has a small inconvenience, it does not allow to pass very heavy files, and this has turned out to be a big problem; because if I necessarily need to use a certain sketch, that does not allow me to transfer it to InVision, I have to download it, then upload it manually to use it. It is a total nuisance. Equally the interface can be a bit complicated to manage, sometimes it does not run well, it can be very slow sometimes with some specific functions.
I like the fact that it has allowed me to be able to develop online prototypes where I can share it with all the clients and work colleagues, in this way the design is created based on what they like or do not like; i don't have to be creating a design that ultimately does not like the customer, which would be a waste of time. Developing a prototype in InVision gives the opportunity to adjust, edit and create designs quickly and efficiently; all without investing much time, effort or money.
The best way to test our models and designs. I like that the design is SO beautiful. You can share the design. I like that this software is able to get feedback, which is also helpful to improve our projects.
Even though the design is beautiful, sometimes it can be difficult to work with (like looking for features).
It's a great program that has helped us build our projects and designs from the start.
I love how it connects with the programs I use directly so I can always keep my prototype up to date. It also has easy functionality for creating the interactions once you are in InVision. I also love the flexibility of being able to only show certain screens, create sections in a project, and enable and disable comments depending on what project you're in. There are times and places for all of these - and having those controls is great.
That I can't switch from screen to screen while in prototype mode. When I'm building out my hotspots it's a major inconvenience to go back to a different view to pick a new screen to start building out.
It is a great way to take a static mock up of a design and bring it to life for a client to give them a sense of functionality without actually having to get into code or getting a developer to build out a prototype. The biggest benefit to this is that It eliminates a lot of potential time wasted building out a design that a client may or may not like. It gives the opportunity for adjustments pre-build and that is essential.
Invision is a magical tool that lets designers share their digital concepts without investing a line of code
I wish there were more features and that adobe could integrate automatically.
Communication is improved. Instead of asking C-levels to imagine, you can show how buttons and hovers work seamlessly.
Simple on boarding and easy for the beginner prototyper. Nice how it synchs with Sketch. Still, has all the bells and whistles that an advanced designer wants. Good simple transitions, lots of nice templates.
Would like more flexibility to show micro interactions. Better and easier animations--would like to see some micro animations that are drag and drop to make the whole process faster.. Simpler templates. Sometimes the user flow is confusing and hard to find your way back.
Great for explaining UI/UX to the Product team and stakeholders. It’s almost impossible today to conduct design reviews without prototyping since interfaces are so dynamic. It’s also fantastic for usability testing since users get to see what seems like a functional application and yet changes are relatively simple to implement and test again.
Invision is easy not only for designers to use, but anyone not really in design. The interface is pretty easy to figure out for the basics, but if you want to do anything more complex, it's getting pretty complicated.
I'm getting a bit concerned that InVision is trying to do EVERYTHING in the space and the offerings are making the core experience a bit more confusing than it has to be. The prototypes are best meant for static interaction for now so I wouldn't use this for motion prototypes yet. You might be better off building that yourself in another app or building your own from scratch.
Sharing prototypes both internally and externally have proven immensely useful. The password protection on entire prototypes or individual screens are useful for limiting the exposure of certain parts of the prototypes to only relevant areas that a stakeholder has to see without you having to setup a separate project.
This is a wonderful little tool if you want to have interactive prototypes to include into your profile. I love the slick feel of the website and overall style and theme. This service brings a level of professionalism to any new designer's portfolio. I love the ease of use in creating a mood board. I use this website in conjunction with Pinterest to make some really wicked looking character development boards. I love gathering the images from pinterest and then implementing them into the mood boards on InVision. This really helps with fleshing out new characters for future stories. Additionally, some may say that the tools that come with InVision make for a less complex design but honestly, if you can think a little bit outside of the box then you will find that you can make some fairly complex prototypes.
When it comes to sharing and collaborating with InVision, that's when the service really begins to become nerve wracking. I hear countless stories about people trying to share a simple prototype with their colleagues that are being met with immense frustration.
I use this website for both mocking up Apps for my portfolio. This is a great resource for making professional looking apps. Furthermore, I utilize the mood boards on this website for developing my characters.
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.
