	Axure RP	InVision
Considered Both Products	Axure Software Solutions Verified User Chose Axure RP Since Axure RP is a desktop software that can work without a cloud connection, it is easy to have approved within a highly restricted corporate environment for a low cost with a small team. iRise is a solution that requires greater amounts of management, best service a group of … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Axure RP InVision and Marvel are hotspot-based applications, so you are limited to the types of interactions that you can create. You can create any interaction in Axure by building it yourself with a combination of adding cases to dynamic panels with clauses. Learning how to do a … Incentivized Helpful? Lucas Roe Lead User Experience Designer in Product Management at ACGI Software (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Axure RP Axure's masters put in an entirely different space from any other tool I've tested. They allow a degree of systemic design that I have yet to see in another piece of software. Sketch (by Bohemian Coding) gets close with its inclusion of symbols. However, until the symbols have … Incentivized Helpful? Dan Clarke Principal User Researcher in Research & Development at Focusrite Group US (Music, 501-1000 employees) Chose Axure RP Axure is my go-to choice because although it is more manual, I have more direct control and can create rich prototypes and interactions that other tools just can't do. With Axure I can mockup physical hardware as well as on-device screens and deep menus. You just can't do that … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Axure RP Axure stacks up pretty nicely against other tools, in terms of available functionality and support for users. It’s probably the best tool I have used to create the most realistic and complex prototypes for sales purposes. However, its interface is outdated compared to other … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Axure RP We initially based our decision on Axure's reputation as the industry standard for prototyping. It is the best as what it does for now, but this is a highly competitive field. There seems to be a new UX/UI tool coming out monthly. I think Axure will continue to be the best for … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Al-Megdad Vice President Product Marketing in Product Management at Real Magnet (Internet, 51-200 employees) Chose Axure RP Axure is more full features than most of its competitors. We needed the interactivity that Axure provides and that others were lacking in. We also had some individuals on the team that were familiar with Axure from their prior experience and we wanted to take advantage of that … Incentivized Helpful? Stephanie Martin Visual and Experience Designer at Freelance, Various Clients (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Axure RP As I stated, I find myself reaching for Axure less. Though it is certainly more powerful than an other tools I've used, it is also the slowest and least simple to build out a prototype. For quick turnaround for a client, I'll always reach for one of the other programs. For a … Incentivized Helpful? Doug Raymond Sr. Interaction Designer/Researcher in Information Technology at Useagility (Design, 11-50 employees) Chose Axure RP Invision lacks the interaction capabilities that are necessary to gain actionable user feedback for most projects. Incentivized Helpful? Vishakha Chetan UX/UI Associate at N/A (Graphic Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Axure RP Despite the three being less sophisticated than Axure, I lean towards them because they make rapid prototyping genuinely rapid. I haven't had to show a clickable prototype in my absence, so I prefer showing a prototype that's more user flow oriented than "feature" heavy. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Axure RP We also use some other prototyping tools like InVision, but Axure works great on projects where you start from low-fidelity wireframes (so just boxes and dummy text), creating simple animations, testing out the concepts with users and stakeholders - then translating the same … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Axure RP Axure is king when it comes to functional prototypes. Sketch looks better visually and is an easy interface to use but is limiting because there is no option to build in interactions. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Axure RP Neither of tools around are a complete solution. Axure is the most complete tool in the market at this moment. In my perspective and daily use, the strongest feature of Axure is prototyping for mobile and tablet devices. Axshare is very helpful, but still I wish to have the … Incentivized Helpful?	InVisionApp Inc. Verified User Chose InVision Main difference is InVision's easy to use prototyping capability. When it is compared to Marvel and Axure RP, while it has less capabilities on tools it is more robust than both. I believe Figma is just a new and upgraded version of InVision where you could do everything online … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose InVision InVision's design is much more polished and seamless due to its apps on mobile and web. They are very easy to learn and gather feedback compared to Sketch or Principle. Although these features are quickly coming to the other apps, InVision has an upper hand at the moment with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose InVision Compared to other tools, InVision is a very solid tool with a great reputation and prototyping functionalities to back it up. InVision was the first prototyping tool we purchased, and it’s served us really well. However, more and more design tools are now also providing … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose InVision As the industry leader, XD and Figma have had some catching up to do. I think now InVision will have to innovate to hold these products off. Several are doing what made InVision famous, and in some instances do it even better. There is an insane amount of competition and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose InVision InVision is super easy to learn and deploy compared to other tools. In fact other tools are following InVision and trying to match InVision. InVision support is tremendous even for a free license, you get a full support within a few hours. Special thanks to all those support … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose InVision InVision doesn't allow for an in-app design like the products mentioned above, but it's easy to upload screens. Incentivized Helpful? Trent Sherrell Senior Interaction Designer in Research & Development at CareerBuilder (Internet, 1001-5000 employees) Chose InVision For more complicated and accurate prototyping, our team relies on Proto.io and Axure. These tools give many more options for communicating ideas beyond simple mockup screen, click a button, next mockup screen. One caveat though, is that the learning curve for these tools is … Incentivized Helpful? Kirk Brote Director of Product Experience in Research & Development at WuXi NextCODE (Biotechnology, 201-500 employees) Chose InVision We started using Marvel for rapid prototyping and the two are fairly analogous. In the end team and enterprise functionality drove the switch from one tool to the other. Another tool we had used is Axure, and for truly advanced, data driven prototyping, it's still the tool to … Incentivized Helpful? Stephanie Martin UX/UI Designer (Design, 11-50 employees) Chose InVision Axure is expensive, and there's a much bigger then you get with InVision. I also feel like the finished prototype just never looks as nice. I do still use Balsamiq on occasion, that's the best option when you want to create something quickly, to communicate a simple idea. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose InVision Axure is too expensive and often an overkill in time and effort to create a clickthrough. Flinto is nice for interactions, but often times for workflow Invision is just easier to use. Pixate has a little bit of a learning curve similar to Axure, but not as powerful. Incentivized Helpful?
