FigJam vs. InVision

FigJam is perfect for the early stages of a project, where every member from cross-functional teams can participate, because it’s intuitive and has a very low entry barrier.

InVision is well suited for design reviews and immersing yourself in the experience of an app-to-be. As a Product Manager, it's difficult to take abstract concepts, user pain points, and business needs, and produce a vision for an app without a visual aid to communicate a vision. InVIsion offers PMs, designers, and developers the opportunity to sketch a vision, communicate about it with inline commenting, and shareable with other stakeholders.

• One file, auto updated, no need to get latest
• Easy to preview
• Lack of client is benefit to some (not me)

Incentivized

• Very easy to export Sketch files (where prototypes are actually created) into Invision and preserve the interactivity.
• Additional interactivity can be added in InVision. Like scrolling with locked footer.
• Clients, designer and developers can collaborate - leave notes and respond to notes made by others.

• love to see it kept feature light ... already seeing the little creeping features like timing clocks, AI help, etc ...

Incentivized

• Designs can be very slow to load on mobile devices, particularly when they include many screens.
• There isn’t an offline version of the full app, which feels less-than-ideal for many of our teammates who live in areas with more spotty internet.
• There are limited functionalities to portray animations and transitions. This hasn’t been a huge issue, but it makes the app feel a little out of date, considering the range of such functionalities in other apps.

it does what we bought it for, so would buy again :)

I don't use it often, because the organization I work in uses a different environment on a commo basis. This is rather used between the designers, who prototype the solutions in Figma - they just have it as a workbook/notebook for their ideas. However, if those need to be shared with stakeholders or other organization members, the designers are expected to use a different environment.

The interface is well designed, but I had a hard time figuring out how the various pieces of software integrate together.

I didn't need to contact InVision support, as I've never needed it. They have an intuitive UI, and most of the questions are answered in their help portal or in tutorials online. Since many people use it, there a great resources available on for example YouTube. No problems so far with InVision.

It is similar, but it provides more usable solutions for brainstorming sessions and presentation purposes. Now empowered with AI and some new cool stuff, it may be the most dangerous competitor to FigJam. However, it will win the race if FigJam is more responsive and gets more attached to Figma, where the prototyping takes place.

[InVision] provides the ability to iterate really quickly, in fact, it is so intuitive that can be applied on live wireframe designing, while the ideas are being scratched and stormed from the team in a single discovery session, as well as allowing and giving access to the whole organization to the final outcome

Incentivized

• It helps us conduct design tests faster, saving designers time specially because its easy to interact with FigJam
• It helps discuss ideas faster
• It helps us share ideas with partners more effectively

• For the price it is well worth it. It improves collaboration and efficiency which can be easily attributed to cost savings or improved margins.
• It also adds an element of professionalism and sophistication to the process and presentation of the work, which in turns aids in brand favorability.
