Figma Reviews

“Efficient teamwork

Pros

Real time collaboration is probably the best part of the system since it makes working with a team feel much more connected and efficient. The interface is accessible and the design tools are powerful enough to help move projects along faster. Other than that being cloud based makes it really convenient to access, share and work on files from anywhere.

Cons

A drawback with it is that it can start to feel slow or lag when handling larger or more complex files. Some of the more advanced features also aren't as developed as they are in certain other design tools which can feel limiting for highly detailed workflows. It also depends a lot on having a stable internet connection and that can be inconvenient sometimes.

“top choice for ui/ux design

Pros

For our product UI/UX design work this has been the best tool available. Honestly I can't think of anything else that comes close to beating it.

Cons

There's nothing specific to complain about. It really feels like it handles just about every problem I run into.

“collaboration that clicks

Pros

Really shines when it comes to collaboration and it fits my workflow perfectly for whiteboarding and brainstorming sessions! Getting started was quick and simple too which made the whole setup a nice bonus.

Cons

For now I truly don't have any downsides to highlight.

“Good design

Pros

Working with this across different functions and teams feels very easy. It gives a clear view of the designs which makes it simple to leave comments, make updates and keep everything moving in the right direction.

Cons

One thing that could be better is having a 'how to' guide for some of the useful shortcuts and basic tips since they are not always obvious at first.

“strong tool

Pros

Among the product design tools available today this is definitely one of the strongest. The collaboration features are excellent, the integrations go deep and our design team relies on it heavily across the board. We use it for everything from quick MVPs and prototypes to fully functional UI work and it really covers all the bases :)

Cons

There is nothing major to call out since it handles all of our use cases well. The only downside is that the developer seat pricing feels a bit expensive so we end up rotating a single seat between three developers.

“billing access is unacceptable

Pros

The interface feels accessible and the real time collaboration tools help teams work together on design projects without needing a complicated setup.

Cons

Billing and invoicing process is extremely poor. I was charged for a subscription yet no invoice was sent to me by email. Once the team got locked I could no longer access the billing section which meant there was no way to retrieve past invoices from the admin panel. Because of that I had to waste extra time reaching out to support just to get a basic accounting document. For a professional SaaS product this lack of billing transparency and accessibility is simply unacceptable and really needs improvement.

“user friendly

Pros

Platform feels very user friendly while still offering plenty of professionallevel features. It's simple to work with, comes with lots of useful integrations and plugins and runs without lag. On top of that the support has been excellent!

Cons

Nothing specific comes to mind and I'm very satisfied with the product overall!

“Great whiteboards for visual planning

Pros

Using the whiteboards has been one of my favorite parts of the platform because they help me visualize my work clearly. It makes organizing ideas much more manageable and I can see everything laid out in one place.

Cons

At times there is a lot to take in so it can feel a bit overwhelming and harder to fully understand.

“powerful performance

Pros

Collaboration tools are really solid, performance stays strong and managing files and folders feels very simple.

Cons

Settings, billing and user management side can be a little overwhelming for new users and sometimes even for more experienced ones.

“pricing is not good

Pros

It's useful that the platform supports both project creation and project management in one place.

Cons

Pricing is what bothers me most especially since you can only start one project before being pushed to pay and that makes the ROI feel questionable at times. On the plus side onboarding is easy because inviting team members is simple and the performance works really well for keeping projects organized. I also appreciate that it offers a lot of newer integration options and lets us work with Adobe created content inside the app after export. The AI does a nice job as a helper and the interface is very good for daily use since everything stays well organized.

“auto layout boosts productivity

Pros

Auto layout and the component system have completely changed the way I work in this system! They make it much easier to build responsive designs for more involved projects like a real estate landing page while keeping spacing and consistency perfectly in place. Real time collaboration is another big plus since I can share progress with others right away.

Cons

Getting comfortable with advanced prototyping and variables does take some time especially if you're just starting out. The mobile app works really well for viewing designs but it would be even better with stronger editing capabilities while away from a desktop.

“flexible to work with

Pros

The platform has a very user friendly interface so it feels simple and flexible to work with.

Cons

Honestly I can't think of any drawbacks. It does everything I need really well for the work I create.

“Time saving platform

Pros

Working in this system feels very easy especially when collaborating with a team. Multiple people can jump into the same project which helps move things along much faster. It's quick, accessible and simple to use.

Cons

It still doesn't offer the same range of features as Illustrator although I expect that to improve as the product continues to develop.

“Fast website mockups for freelancers

Pros

Jumping from a blank canvas to a finished product feels really fast in this! It's useful because the components I need to build a website are already there so I can quickly assemble pages and get a clear view of how the UX will look. Getting started with it was simple and as someone working solo it fits freelance work really well.

Cons

The AI side still feels pretty underdeveloped. The website designs it generated technically worked but none of them looked good and the overall result was quite poor.

“realtime teamwork done right

Pros

Working with it feels really efficient because the real time collaboration is excellent and the performance stays reliable most of the time. My team and I can jump into the same design file together and make changes at once without things getting confusing. Updates appear instantly which cuts down on wasted time. The interface is clean and simple so moving around while designing never feels overwhelming. Even with larger files it usually keeps up well and doesn't lag much which matters a lot when deadlines are close. Overall it feels fast and responsive!

Cons

A downside is that it can start slowing down when the files get very heavy. Bigger projects with lots of layers sometimes cause noticeable lag and that can interrupt the workflow when I need to move quickly. Since it runs in the browser the experience also depends heavily on having a stable internet connection. If the connection drops or becomes inconsistent using it doesn't feel as responsive.
