Considered Both Products	Zeplin Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Zeplin is used for us purely as a handoff tool. It keeps it clean and clear for devs and product managers what is completed. It has some good labels and other organizing features. The different levels of access are also super helpful to give the correct people the view they … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin As our project is large and there are many modules and they should be consistent. So, Zeplin's style guide can be shared globally across different projects and we can easily ensure consistency across all modules. Zeplin automatically exports assets in multiple file formats like … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Actually, we didn't select Zeplin. After a long time of internal discussions, the majority of the team decided that we want to move to Figma. We still use Zeplin as a legacy, but we don't use it for new features. In my opinion, it's less flexible than Figma, which allows … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin We went without a tool like Zeplin for a long time, but as we grew we needed to get a better handle on the design process and handoff to engineering. We went straight to Zeplin off of numerous recommendations and didn't look back. We have had a great experience with Zeplin. Incentivized Helpful? Raphael Sanguinete Creative Director Chose Zeplin Zeplin is more focused on the handoff than in the creation itself. The other alternatives can do both, but Zeplin is an awesome tool for the handoff part. It depends in how big is your team and how the workflow is organized to understand whats the best tool for your team. Incentivized Helpful? Christopher Fritz Head of Global IT Chose Zeplin It was a business need from different departments. From an IT point of view, we have been a part of purchasing and setting up. However, the decision to go with Zeplin was not ours. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin I believe Invision is the only one that is supporting such inspection tools at this moment. Incentivized Helpful? Ray Flores Software Engineer Chose Zeplin Zeplin has and easier on the eyes UI, not a cumbersome constructors of projects and easier collaboration. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Out of all of the products that I have used to support design-to-development handoffs, Zeplin is my favorite. It’s pretty lightweight and easy to use (once you get the hang of it). Zeplin also has a smooth interface and is, generally, clearer to use than other tools, such as … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin These other tools are really helpful products for creating and sharing wireframes / prototypes. However, Zeplin is the best tool for the actual hand off between the design and development teams once the design is actually ready to share. Zeplin fills this gap and improves the … Incentivized Helpful? Prashant Mahajan Senior Product Manager Chose Zeplin Zeplin is simpler. Zeplin lacks prototyping on par with Invision. Zeplin doesn't give a direct code for Android and iOS like Figma does. Zeplin doesn't have a lot of advanced features like Invision, for example, whiteboard. But Zeplin is good for at its job which is to share … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Zeplin is a really nice lightweight app, that is easier to use than Invision for sharing purposes. Invision does primarily handle prototyping, which Zeplin does not do. Abstract is my product of choice but is also a slightly different tool — almost a Github for design. It … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin We chose Zeplin because it allowed our product and design teams to collaborate more effectively, while providing the rest of the organization an easily accessible location to access up-to-date assets. While InVision's interface can be more intuitive, we prefer Zeplin because it … Incentivized Helpful? Ronald Melendez Desarrollador de software Chose Zeplin Marvel is a pretty expensive application for what it gives you, it is a pretty good tool but I think the handoff is not as good as Zeplin's. I think the style of Zeplin is more oriented to developers and Marvel is more oriented to the designers. I like the way Zeplin is … Incentivized Helpful? Carlos Eduardo de Souza Co-founder & Manager Chose Zeplin Zeplin is great to inspect and share user interfaces, specifications and assets, perfect for developers. Tools like Invision and Marvel are much better to create prototypes for both developers, coworkers and even stakeholders, but they don't have this kind of feature … Incentivized Helpful? Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Chose Zeplin For my company needs, Zeplin comes as the best tool in its category. Zeplin's competitors are great tools but they either offer way too many features or are priced above Zeplin with the same features. Zeplin is in the right spot for both pricing and features. Incentivized Helpful? Tariq Virani Product Manager Chose Zeplin Zeplin is a better tool for collaboration and has a deeper feature set that helps communicate the information developers need to build products. Incentivized Helpful? Brad Henderson Co-Founder/Chief Janitor Chose Zeplin I know there are other products out there but Zeplin has been so effective that I haven't even bothered to look elsewhere. The whole experience of Zeplin has been excellent. However, once Adobe XD is more built out Zeplin will finally have a formidable competitor as it will be … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Zeplin is much better when it comes to seeing the properties and CSS code of the design elements. Our developers love it when they get all that info from the Zeplin file. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Gardner Co-Founder Chose Zeplin Zeplin is the only solution tailored for this common use case. Previously we just shared files in dropbox but that was messy and didn't allow for specific comments, etc. Incentivized Helpful?

AR Abdul Rahuman Cloud engineer Chose Zoho Cliq comparing with these tools, Cliq is more than good Incentivized Helpful? Ganesh Subramanian Director Operations Chose Zoho Cliq Slack is equally good but as we went for ZohoOHO CRM it made sense to go in for Zoho Cliq to benefit from the integrations. Zoho Cliq is intuitive and user-friendly with no extra learning required. Google Chat had very limited capabilities and was not very user-friendly. … Incentivized Helpful? Marc Fishman Director of Sales & Marketing Chose Zoho Cliq Essentially the same style of platform. Aside from any "bots" (which I don't use anyways), they appear to do the same thing. But Zoho Cliq comes packed into the Zoho One platform. It's a useful component in a suite of communication tools that allows our office to work and speak … Incentivized Helpful? Caroline Blades Chief Operating Officer Chose Zoho Cliq My all-time favorite tool in this space is Slack but Cliq is a close second. Cliq is essentially built to mimic Slack but is not quite as cutting-edge with some of their features. We opted to use Cliq over Slack because of the interconnectedness it offered with all the other … Incentivized Helpful? Stacey Commings Purchasing Chose Zoho Cliq The owner chose this system after many months of evaluation. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Zeplin	Zoho Cliq
Likelihood to Recommend	I still have some issues, especially with color integration between the style guide and also project. When we update the colors, it's not automatically sync to every project. Aside from that, zeplin solves my problem for hand-off design from design to developer. I set zeplin is source of truth design file Incentivized D Hendrik Mulyana Lead Designer Read full review	If you have a website through which your clients engage (either sales or support) your offerings, then you absolutely need a live chat tool. Having used Zoho for a while now, I can absolutely recommend it. If you have not used a chat tool before but you have an online store then you should definitely explore this option. They offer a free trial so you can test it to see what response you get but for sales related websites, this will pay for itself. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Provides dimensions across iOS, Android and Web which saves developers from a lot of guess and check when implementing designs Allows for easy download of digital design assets for developers to easily organize and implement Great user experience in terms of the product itself and a great value for your money Automatically generates CSS for web designs which is AMAZING! Incentivized Brad Henderson Co-Founder/Chief Janitor Read full review	instant messaging so team members can quickly talk to each other creating different channels for specific teams or projects, which keeps conversations organized notifications that alert you about important messages, helping you stay updated Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	It would be better if it has a dedicated web application It's not the easiest tool to learn and start working with It would be awesome if it had more features turning it into an all-around tool for mockups and prototypes Incentivized Raphael Sanguinete Creative Director Read full review	Zoho people notifications can be added in Cliq like birthday reminders, leave trackers Cliq PC app is bit heavy, can be light weighted Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Great tool Incentivized Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Read full review	Cliq is essential software for our communication. Because we are an office of both in-house and remote employees we must have a unified communication platform to speak to another in real-time. Cliq offers us that platform in an easy-to-use format that allows for both 1:1 and team communication occurring all at once. Marc Fishman Director of Sales & Marketing Read full review
Usability	Zeplin's component management and style guide help us to be consistent across whole product and it so easy to use for non-technical person. It is now easy to collaboration for designes between different teams like stackholders, product owner, UI/UX, developers and testers. Now there is only one point of reference is Zeplin so it is so easy to get details without asking designer or developer again and again. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Based on my experience with Cliq it is very cool and easy, I will give 10/10, because of their quality. Incentivized AR Abdul Rahuman Cloud engineer Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	It's available 24X7. We have never faced any serious issues with the connectivity. Whenever we faced issues, it has been traced to a browser issue or Windows app issue or a mobile issue. Incentivized Ganesh Subramanian Director Operations Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	No issues Incentivized Ganesh Subramanian Director Operations Read full review
Support Rating	Zeplin has classic support with a chat from the website. It's working fine, and we're also getting the support needed when needed. However, Zeplin is very good at closing the incidents and moving on. It was a while ago we had a case with their support so that it might have improved since then. Incentivized Christopher Fritz Head of Global IT Read full review	Any time that I have had an issue, and there haven't been many user support jumps right on and helps me right away. Incentivized Stacey Commings Purchasing Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	Excellent support. Online training and supporting videos, and resources are more than sufficient to get started. Moreover, their support channel, especially the chat window, is very helpful and provides an instant solution to all our queries. For any complicated issue, they always get back by email with the solution and on occasions even call back. Incentivized Ganesh Subramanian Director Operations Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Implementation is very simple and easy. Create a Zoho account (free or paid), send/ receive an invite, log in, verify your credentials and get started. Admin would have created the channels for you, and you start contributing. The entire process is smooth, and you can get started within minutes. The Admin has to work at the backend, initially, and decide on the permissions for the individual and the team and set up permissions for access to other applications too. This needs to be planned out, tested and implemented. Incentivized Ganesh Subramanian Director Operations Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Out of all of the products that I have used to support design-to-development handoffs, Zeplin is my favorite. It’s pretty lightweight and easy to use (once you get the hang of it). Zeplin also has a smooth interface and is, generally, clearer to use than other tools, such as InVision. Plus, all of the plug-ins that you can use with Zeplin have supported the design-development relationship and workflows in which I’ve been involved in more efficient, clear, and effective ways than I’ve seen with any other product. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Essentially the same style of platform. Aside from any "bots" (which I don't use anyways), they appear to do the same thing. But Zoho Cliq comes packed into the Zoho One platform. It's a useful component in a suite of communication tools that allows our office to work and speak to one another in an abundance of ways. Marc Fishman Director of Sales & Marketing Read full review
Scalability	No answers on this topic	The system works perfectly well. At times, we have faced issues with the desktop application - it doesn't start, or takes time to start, or even logs off on its own. However, the browser as well as the mobile application work perfectly well, and we have never faced issues with them Incentivized Ganesh Subramanian Director Operations Read full review
Return on Investment	We're using the free plan, so it fits in our needs, although we're limited to create only one project at a time Sketch has some plugins that offers exactly what Zeplin does, for free The integration with design apps (Sketch, Photoshop, XD) and collaboration (Slack and Trello) helps our team to better communicate and be notified on every update Incentivized Carlos Eduardo de Souza Co-founder & Manager Read full review	Positive - Easier Comms with specific Clients. Encouraging more to use it to engage with me Negative - Yet another comms channel to manage would like to have less. But see previous positive Positive - Came as part of my Zoho One subscription so low cost Has a wealth of options still to investigate as part of Cliq Incentivized Vince McConville Advisor / Director Read full review
