Figma Reviews

“Good tool”

Pros

Having a specialized tool like this really cuts down the time and effort needed to create web designs and being able to preview them on different screen sizes is a big plus too.

Cons

It's definitely built more for experienced users and learning all of its features takes some time and effort.

“great for mockups”

Pros

Our team works with it every day for prototyping while I mostly use the software for mockups and interface design. Even though I've only been using it for a few months, it has been quite easy to pick up.

Cons

Nothing worth pointing out at this stage although I still don't use it as heavily as the rest of my team.

“Browser-friendly”

Pros

It works really well as a collaboration tool. The support for RTL languages is a big plus and being browser-based makes it convenient to access from anywhere.

Cons

Its prototyping capabilities feel weaker compared to competing tools and there's no built-in way to test design files through usability testing or A/B testing.

“collaboration from anywhere”

Pros

A huge advantage of the software is that it runs in the cloud so I can open it from pretty much any device as long as there's internet. It also lets several people work on the same file at once which makes it especially useful for remote teams and collaborative projects.

Cons

the software still falls short when it comes to image editing. As a designer, I can't really achieve the level of pixel-perfect control I need within the platform.

“best for design teams”

Pros

Feels incredibly natural, almost like you can figure it out with basic common sense. After just a few tutorials, it's possible to reach a pretty decent level and start working confidently. The free access for a couple of projects makes it a favorite choice for a lot of users. I've mainly used it for design and for building mobile and web prototypes and the team collaboration features have been a really valuable addition too.

Cons

The prototyping side still has room to grow especially when it comes to making onboarding more easy. It has definitely improved which is good to see but it still feels like there's a long way to go. The plugin ecosystem is getting better day by day as well though I still feel that only a limited number of plugins are truly practical and useful.

“Grants cloud access”

Pros

Being cloud-based is a big advantage and it works across all my devices without any trouble.

Cons

There's also a free version available which lets me use it and save all the work I've done.

“Loved using it”

Pros

A free tool for prototyping that's simple to use and works really well.

Cons

Something I'm not too excited about is that it's completely online which I don't find very appealing.

“feature-packed”

Pros

Comes with plenty of features and feels very user friendly. Even someone just starting out can pick it up without much trouble or confusion.

Cons

Since the internet in my country is not very reliable, that can be frustrating at times. I really wish it offered an offline way to save work.

“best prototyping tool”

Pros

It lets me bring my design ideas to life in a very short amount of time and the best part is being able to export all my assets while also checking the CSS code so I can apply it directly to the live design.

Cons

Adding more seats costs extra and the pricing can become a little expensive over time.

“accessible design tool”

Pros

One of the software's biggest strengths is how approachable it is for most people. The initial difficulty feels fairly manageable which makes it one of the more flexible tools available. That accessibility alone has helped bring a lot of new and talented designers into product design and that's the part I appreciate most about it. To me, that's the software's biggest achievement.

Cons

Auto layout, on the other hand, isn't the most user friendly feature. It definitely takes time to understand and get comfortable with and even after learning it well, it can still act up now and then. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether I'm running into an actual bug or if I set something up incorrectly.

“love it!”

Pros

Best part of this tool is how well it handles collaboration. Team members can work on the same project at the same time and see updates as they happen which is incredibly useful. On top of that, the the software community is very supportive and helpful. Another big advantage is that it runs in any browser which makes it even more convenient to use.

Cons

I haven't come across any downsides with this software yet.

“honest review”

Pros

The collaboration tools are something I absolutely love.. they make working on tasks much more enjoyable and a lot more efficient. The drag-and-drop functions is simple to use, autosave is a huge plus, importing files is easy and the media library is excellent.

Cons

One thing that could be improved is availability. It currently works online and on desktop but I really think it should also support offline use and work properly on mobile devices.

“endless canvas, faster workflow”

Pros

Having what feels like an infinite canvas for designing, iterating and sharing projects is exactly what the software offers me. It has made my whole design workflow much faster and more efficient. On top of that, the tutorials from the team behind the software have helped me improve a lot as a designer.

Cons

I do not really have any complaints. The only thing I miss is an offline mode because being able to use the software without internet would be very practical.

“accessible components”

Pros

Creating components feels very accessible and the wide range of plugins available adds a lot of value. The color options also help deliver a really appealing visual result. It's also very convenient that several people can edit a FigJam at the same time and the ability to convert the interface into HTML and CSS is quite useful.

Cons

Not every element can be converted into CSS yet.

“simple collab”

Pros

When it comes to UI design, the software stands out as one of the best tools available. Team collaboration is very convenient and creating high-fidelity prototypes and wireframes feels really effective. It works across different platforms and includes a wide range of design features. The auto layout option is especially useful for building responsive designs.

Cons

One downside is that the software is no longer as fully free as it used to be. Since being acquired by Adobe, it still offers a free plan but that version now comes with restrictions, including a limit of 3 the software files and 3 FigJam files.

“Flexible design access”

Pros

Very simple to work with and it runs well both on Mac and in the browser.

Cons

I'm not happy that Adobe acquired the company.

“collaboration that really clicks”

Pros

Working together on one or even several projects feels incredibly easy in the software. The way it organizes everything into teams, projects, files and pages just makes sense and the added structure with shared styles and components makes it feel like much more than just a design app. Compared with what I had available before especially Sketch, the software helps me present my work in a way that grabs people's attention and communicates my ideas much better.

Cons

The image editing options in the software are fairly limited. Dragging, dropping and resizing images also doesn't feel very accessible or user friendly. Another downside is that I can't really work offline so if my connection drops, I have to remember to save files for offline use ahead of time. On top of that, the software doesn't run properly in certain browsers.

“Useful UX design toolkit”

Pros

Using it feels very accessible and user friendly and it includes everything needed for UX designers.

Cons

I haven't run into any issues yet. I've been happy with all the capabilities it offers and nothing has gotten in the way of my day-to-day work.

“collaboration that really delivers”

Pros

The best part of this software is how simple it is to share files and versions. Being able to work collaboratively with other people makes a big difference and is one of its strongest points.

Cons

Up to now the only downside has been the price since it is charged in dollars and exchange-rate fluctuations can make it hard to afford. Still, that is not really the software's fault.

“flexible for remote teams”

Pros

Running an online business has made the software a key part of our workflow, from early ideas all the way to the finished product. It's become essential for our digital work. Even the free version offers a lot of value. Our team has been able to build more flexible ideation experiences for both clients and remote collaborators. We use it regularly for logo sketches and whiteboarding and the way projects stay organized is easy. There's still so much this tool lets me do.

Cons

It does take some time to learn at first. A few features especially image cropping, don't feel as accessible as they probably should.
