Figma Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Figma from the ideation stages, when we need to experiment with concepts through wireframes and other low-fidelity deliverables, through flow design and up to the final design deliverables within the squads, where delivery includes navigable high-fidelity prototypes for business teams and documented deliverables for developers, in the process we call handoff.

Figma is an excellent tool for teams that work with a focus on design. From the ideation stages, when we don't yet know exactly what we're going to develop but need to make things visible to multidisciplinary teams (which involve people from business, technology and others) to the delivery stages, when we need to put the projects to the test.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Figma is used to create website designs, landing page sketches, and even small graphics for Final Apps. Pretty easy to use and collaboration with the team is also good. Has a good collection of icons and resources. The mobile app is also very useful. Have used it more multiple projects.

files back and forth—everything updates in real time. Design Systems – Components, auto-layout, and shared libraries make it super easy to build and maintain consistent designs. Prototyping – No need for extra tools. You can create clickable prototypes that feel close to the real thing. Since it’s browser-based, you can access your designs from any device, and also the mobile app.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for

- Building systemic mappings (blueprints, flow maps, information architecture maps)

- Building low-fi visions

- Building prototypes for testing

- Documenting in hi-fi for Dev handoff

We are a team of 6 professionals (me as a Lead, 3 Interaction Designers, a Content Designer and a Researcher)

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for

- Component/Design system building

- Hi-fi deliverables for Front End Development

Not well suited for

- Flow mapping, they've built FigJam for that, but you cannot make diagrams personalized to a complex degree

- Low-fi wireframing, the pixel perfect interface tends to force people to think in hi-fi

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Today, Figma is my main tool. I use it to create prototypes, flows, and even graphic designs. I use daily in my layout design process and share the files with developers for implementation. Figma makes my work easier by simplifying the presentation of new layouts to stakeholders. It also streamlines collaboration between designers and developers.

Likelihood to Recommend

The Prototype feature is very easy to use, unlike other tools I’ve tried. There are many actions you can apply, which makes the prototype feel very close to the final product. It also offers a wide range of plugins that are easy to integrate. In my interactions with customer support, they were very efficient and helped me resolve my issues. To edit images, I still need to use Photoshop, as Figma doesn’t have many features for this purpose.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Figma for designing apps, mockups, wireframing, creating icons and creating design docs. It also serves as the reference for our development team to develop apps based on the design. Our devs use the dev mode to make it easier and faster to develop the apps as it provides some styles to be used in the apps. It serves to model user flows in the app and derive use cases as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

Any time you want to design for an app, website or other such use case, Figma is the best choice. When designing icons, sprites, etc., as well Figma really shines. The only place Figma lags is when compared to full blown image editors like Photoshop. But that is a difference use case. One that Figma was not made for.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a UX designer I use Figma everyday to design prototypes, wireframes and mockups for our web and mobile interfaces.

Likelihood to Recommend

Figma is the best for designing interfaces and just ok for graphic design. It’s easier to design graphics and illustrations on illustrator even though Figma has a vector tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Figma was introduced into our organization after Invision announced it was ending. Prior to Figma, our designers were using Invision, Adobe XD, and Sketch. I personally despised using Sketch for UX/UI projects and design systems work. It was such a pain using Sketch because I felt like the interface was clunky and not intuitive. Figma is far superior. Both Figma, and Figma Jam will be used to help our teams collaborate and work on visual, brand, and UX/UI projects.

Likelihood to Recommend

Figma is the go-to tool for UX/UI, prototyping, etc. I've used it for app design, wireframing, user flows, and collaborating with devs. It also has great tools for managing your component library and design systems. I also appreciate the how flexible the permissions are. I wouldn't moodboard in Figma, which is why I appreciate Figma Jam. I like how you can copy and paste things from one program to another.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I oversee the In-house UX/Product Design team for the organization aka company that I work for. I serve as the UX Authority in the leadership-level role within the company. I and my Product Designers in my Design team use Figma to craft the user-friendly UX design concepts and solutions for our SaaS Advertising Tech products/platforms that accommodate 2 lines of business: Demand side for the Advertisers and Ads Agencies & Supply side products for the Publishers type of user profiles.

Likelihood to Recommend

Figma is a solid design tool to craft the UX design concepts/solutions for digital products. For printed marketing materials such as brochures, marketing flyers, press releases, etc, other design tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign might make more sense to use for those use case scenarios.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Figma for almost everything. Brainstorming, presenting, organizing thoughts, making user flows, creating designs for new development.

Likelihood to Recommend

Figma is my favorite product I've ever used. It can be tailored to almost every use case that involves whiteboarding, collaboration, design.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a UX Designer, Figma is the #1 tool that I use to create highly detailed wireframes, new icons, and even basic graphic design elements for our site. Additionally, Figma is useful for creating prototypes of various interactions, and connecting screens together to share with developers and stakeholders. The new Figma dev mode helps us communicate with developers and explain various nuances of our designs. It's not the most intuitive tool for those who don't use it much, but for superusers (such as those on the UX team, it's the best all-in-one tool out there.

Likelihood to Recommend

Figma is well suited for UX Design- I personally think it is the best tool out there. Our team started with Sketch, but ultimately switched over when it became clear that it was the superior tool.

It's pretty good for handing off designs to developers, although other tools claim to be able to take design to code more easily.

It's not the most powerful tool for graphic design, though I still use it for simple things (e.g. icon creation) because I am not well versed in Illustrator and the learning curve for Adobe platforms seems rather steep.
