    Considered Both Products
    Balsamiq
    Chose Balsamiq
    Balsamiq is lagging a lot as compared to Figma but it's comparable with respect to MockFlow.

    Also, Figma is a full stack solution in designing and hence it was an overkill of my role. Balsamiq is easier to use & know in the industry and hence that helped in decision making.

    Chose Balsamiq
    I use Balsamic for ideation, discussion, collaboration and proposals. It is super fast and easy to just drag UI components onto the canvas and move things around or delete things as you need. Its alignment tools are basic and good enough to get the job done. I would use Figma …

    Chose Figma
    Figma just has way more features and is more intuitive and user friendly. It’s the tool we’re sticking with for the time being.

    Chose Figma
    The detailing and extent of designs that are possible in Figma are unparalleled. Screen mirroring is one of the most used features as the others do not offer this. In terms of load time, responsiveness, lag etc. there is a marginal improvement. Figma works better even when the …

    Chose Figma
    Figma does everything that I personally needed to do, and does all of those really well.
    If you're a UI / UX designer, there is nothing better out there. If you're a PM, you'll be working on this quite a bit, but this is definitely not the best wireframing tool.

    Chose Figma
    Yes definitely, it is way easier to use and has way better collaboration compared to Adobe Illustration and Sketch. Figma has better integration with the development team as it can export code and maintain assets as well.

    Another big upside of Figma is prototyping, since the …

    Chose Figma
    Figma provides a much better collaborating experience. For example, Adobe XD does not support simultaneous editing, and this is such a pain when teams are working together.

    Chose Figma
    Online collaboration, file management, fast service, available on desktop and web, prototyping and creation tools. These are some of the important factors that make Figma very attractive. It's only a matter of time before they take over the top spot.

    Chose Figma
    Figma had the most powerful features for custom built development. UXPin is still a good out of the box choice for teams that don't want to build or maintain their own library, but Figma is what we needed to build and present a new custom UI for our product.
