Considered Both Products	Axure Software Solutions Josh Peichoto Digital Strategy Manager in Marketing at Envoy Mortgage (Financial Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Axure RP Axure RP has its place among the competitors. Every product has its pros and cons. Axure works well for larger and less visual design projects or deliverables. In some cases we might use Axure along with another tool, such as Sketch or Photoshop, to create different … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Axure RP Sketch and Axure serve different levels of fidelity for our designs. Axure is able to provide rapid, lower-fidelity prototypes that will demonstrate workflows to customers, whereas Sketch is great for higher-fidelity designs that are non-functional, but exact down to the pixel … 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 However, its interface is outdated compared to other … Incentivized Helpful? Kevin J. Hauger User Experience (UX) Designer in Corporate at Oracle (Design, 10,001+ employees) Chose Axure RP Overall, Axure RP is a reliable prototyping and wireframing tool that has been around for a while.

I think Axure will continue to be the best for … Incentivized Helpful? 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?	Bohemian Coding Verified User Chose Sketch In terms of comparing Sketch with some of it's competitors, I would say that Sketch falls behind Figma due to the fact that it doesn't not have the power of inline collaboration that Figma has developed. It's also not quite as powerful as Axure in terms of providing a usable … Incentivized Helpful? Albert Ellenich Sr. Experience Designer in Information Technology at Maestro Health (Human Resources, 201-500 employees) Chose Sketch Sketch is designed for a specific need, in my opinion, creating screen designs with tools you can reuse and share across a project. There are no extra features to get in your way or slow you down. Other products I've used are good at creating the same type of work products, but … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sketch At the time of purchase, Sketch was the industry standard. It's affordable and we liked it wasn't tied to a subscription model. We're on Macs so it being an OSX exclusive wasn't a deterrent. Sketch has set the bar high, but there is a massive amount of competition in this … Incentivized Helpful?
