Figma Reviews

“ny review”

Pros

Working with others is really where the software shines and that focus on collaboration has made it an incredibly valuable tool for team projects. Even though I still depend on several other programs to create and refine assets before bringing them in, the software has become the place where so much of the work now comes together.

Cons

My only real concern is that the software could eventually become bloated if it keeps expanding into features that are better handled by tools built specifically for those purposes from the start. Still, the software has kept exceeding expectations so it may very well continue to surprise me going forward.

“collaboration that really delivers”

Pros

Having several people working in the same file at the same time is something I really appreciate. It also comes with powerful features that help a lot when running usability studies. Getting feedback and comments is simple too and overall it works really well for collaboration.

Cons

For people who are not familiar with design tools or editing it can ake them some effort to get used to the software.

“Smooth remote design teamwork”

Pros

Working in the software makes sharing and editing designs asynchronously really convenient. It's easy to use overall and collaborating on the same design works especially well for teams spread across different locations.

Cons

A few features aren't immediately accessible. I had to look up how to use certain tools but once you learn them, tasks like replacing text and images become simple.

“I recommend”

Pros

Across different teams, the software ends up being useful for far more than just graphic design or prototyping. In our work, we also rely on it for planning and organizing tasks, like putting together an onboarding flow. Collaboration feels very natural and getting started is quick thanks to the available templates and the accessible layout. After only a couple of uses, it already feels comfortable and easy to work in.

Cons

At this point, I really haven't run into any downsides with the software especially when I compare it with similar tools such as Miro and Whimsical.

“Good graphics”

Pros

Prototyping for my website is very simple with the software and I can also access plenty of graphic options directly inside the tool.

Cons

I can't think of any downsides. I really enjoy using this tool.

“fast design handoff”

Pros

Copying images and pulling CSS values straight into a project is really convenient and saves a lot of time during handoff and development.

Cons

Grouping images and shapes isn't very accessible so that part of the workflow can feel a bit awkward at first.

“strong comeback and renewed direction”

Pros

One thing that comes to mind is how much this felt like a response to the lack of support often faced by a student presenter in international college business competitions. Even though there was a similarly named company, the bigger issue was the sense of general hostility toward someone who felt unprotected. In that context, the software's return felt meaningful especially because of how strongly it showed its ability to rework and restate its approach.

Cons

At the same time, the need to keep coming back with a fresh new direction feels like the limiting part of this software. It still seems to lack a broader understanding that could better connect fields like physics-oriented academic thinking with web design, at least in a way that supports product development. Instead, it feels too absorbed in its own core concept which ends up going against the spirit associated with the BEST competition society.

“versatile web prototyping powerhouse”

Pros

After using the software for well over a year, it has become one of my favorite online tools for building software prototypes. The biggest advantage is that there's no need to install anything separately.. you can just sign in with Gmail and start working right in the browser. It also gives designers the flexibility to create layouts for different platforms, including iOS android and the web. Another helpful part is being able to compare design fields with front-end development during testing which makes things much more convenient for developers. On top of that, downloading and exporting icons to use directly on a webpage is simple and practical.

Cons

At times, comparing the final developed UI with the design during testing can be a bit challenging, mainly because some of the front-end fields shown in the software are not actually used across every platform, such as ReactJS.

“Good software”

Pros

Not having to install any software is great and the cloud storage is also behd useful and works really well.

Cons

The mobile experience still isn't very good. I believe adapting tools for phone use is becoming a clear trend so I hope the software continues improving in that area.

“Great experience”

Pros

Among wireframing tools, the software feels like the most user friendly option for UI/UX designers. It has all the features and tools needed to design UI screens and build prototypes.

Cons

There's not much to dislike but the software does need a fairly strong system to run well. Older machines can struggle with it since it uses a lot of resources. Also, when using the browser version, cached data can sometimes keep recent changes from showing up so a refresh is needed.

“best option I've used”

Pros

Getting started with the software feels very easy and the large community makes it even better. There are plenty of useful plugins available that help speed up the work and make different tasks much easier to handle.

Cons

One downside is that you need to upgrade to the Pro plan if you want to fully use your own library, such as a design system.

“flexible design overview”

Pros

Being able to zoom way out and see the full picture across all the designs is something I really appreciate and then it's just as convenient to jump into the finer details whenever needed.

Cons

I do wish it felt a bit more user friendly especially for someone who isn't a designer and the onboarding or new-user guidance could definitely be better.

“great for collaboration and prototyping”

Pros

Collaboration works really well in this tool. It's a strong fit for building user flows and creating prototypes and it also makes running usability tests with those prototypes very convenient.

Cons

Things can get a bit difficult to manage when everyone starts leaving comments on the designs at the same time.

“Handy CSS inspection tools”

Pros

Working with the software as a developer has been really helpful because I can check the CSS properties directly in the file. It saves me from having to guess which colors or fonts were used in the project. Another thing I appreciate is being able to download images straight from the software instead of hunting them down somewhere else online.

Cons

Can be a bit challenging for beginner frontend developers. Another downside is that files can be edited too easily and it would be better if there were a warning asking for confirmation before changes are made.

“clean design and polished presentations”

Pros

The design looks really good and the way projects are presented feels polished and professional.

Cons

At times, it isn't very accessible for other members of the company to use.
