Figma is a solid design tool to craft the UX design concepts/solutions for digital products. For printed marketing materials such as brochures, marketing flyers, press releases, etc, other design tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign might make more sense to use for those use case scenarios.Incentivized
Pixate is well suited for creating quick prototypes without too much knowledge in coding.Incentivized
Detailed enough to create pixel perfect designs with total control over the outcomeCreating and implementing design systems to improve consistency and speed up design workRobust prototyping tools to create simple animations or to connect various pagesI love autolayout, which improves design spacing and responsivenessIncentivized
You can create quick prototypes without having too much knowledge in coding.It shows changes in real time, which is super helpful.I can send prototypes with a link to my clients.Incentivized
Prototyping in Figma is pretty much nothing more than a glorified slide show. Sure, variables, etc are available but it takes way to long to set them up and even more time when there are revisions needed.It would be helpful if there were a contextual help system for various functionality. For example, advanced autolayout (like space between) can become very tricky to implement sometimes. I often wish there were an AI assistant to ask for help. I often use ChatGTP to help me through these times.Searching layers needs to be much easier and more intuitive.I would like to be able to make groups like the layers palette in Photoshop. That would help with organization and speed a lot.Incentivized
I am missing some features that allow me to for example, to implement the camera of my phone, or the tilt of the phone.Incentivized
Figma is a pretty cool tool in many areas. My team almost uses it on daily basis, such as, brainstorming on product/design topics, discussing prototypes created by designers. We even use it for retrospectives, which is super convenient and naturally keeps records of what the team discusses every month. Furthermore, I do see the potential of the product - currently we mainly use it for design topics, but it seems it is also a good fit for tech diagrams, which we probably will explore further in the future.

It's easy to use for designers who are familiar with design terms and functions from Photoshop and Illustrator. However, non-tech and non-designer collaborators have a hard time figuring out how to leave comments and apply changes, compared to other online design tools like Canva and Squarespace. Even simple drag-and-drops and rearrangement of certain blocks become too complicated due to uncommon functions like Hug and Lock.Incentivized
The only regret I have is, its not available when there is no internet Incentivized
I think its great, As there are many other software or systems which can be integrated with it as plugins or API's Incentivized
I haven't used their support lately but in the past, they had a chat that I used often. They often responded in a few hours and were able to give a satisfactory solution. I would imagine it's less personal now but the community has expanded drastically so there are more resources out there to self serve with a bit of Google magic.Incentivized
In-person training has its own benefits - 1. It helps in resolving queries then and there during the training. 2. I find classroom or in-person training more interactive. 3. Classroom or in-person training could be more practical in nature where participants can have an hands on experience with tools and clarify their doubts with the trainer.Incentivized
Online training has its own merits and demerits - 1. Sometimes we may face issues with connectivity or the training content 2. The way training is being delivered becomes very important because not everyone is comfortable taking online training and learning by themselves. 3. With the advancement of technology online training has become popular but there is a segment of people who still prefer class-room training over online one.Incentivized
Figma compared to other tools has user friendly UI which is very easy for all levels of designers. Compared to Adobe XD and Sketch Figma is stable, while in other tools I have faced software crashing in the middle of the work which resulted in loss of data/design. Compared to other tools it's fast and shows less lag. Collaboration in Figma is very easy as it is cloud based but in XD it's not that smooth working with other designers.Incentivized
Right now I am using sketch to create the assets and then I am importing them to pixate. Before that I simply used video editing software to create a video of the interface, but I was never able to create a working prototype. Incentivized
I think this is great and as I mentioned at ADP we use Figma extensively whether by designers, researchers or content writers Incentivized
Allows us to get funding for further phases of the project (which is uncountable)Well, it lets us show off when needed due to well suited UI-oriented characterEasily approachable by anyone (browser use)User friendly interfaceMore advanced cooperation requires some of the users to have a licenseIncentivized
This program is one of the reasons I get recommended for other jobs.Incentivized
