Figma Reviews & Product Details

Figma Overview
What is Figma?

Figma is a feature-loaded design tool with tools designed to help users mockup, edit and design websites. The platform takes a more collaborative, cloud-based approach to design, which means it allows team members to design simultaneously and give each other continuous feedback as they work. This makes collaboration simpler and more effective. A free plan is available on Figma, however, premium plans offer more extensive tools and robust capabilities for web design and development as well as collaboration.

"Pretty cool and convenient"
What do you like best about Figma?

I really like how you can create a design on the fly with the prototype. I also love the community that shares content.

What do you dislike about Figma?

I don't like how there's frequent glitches with toggling between pages created within a project.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving ways on how to create user-friendly app's along with interfaces. I realized how sharing a project that is being worked out, helps out the team.

"Go-to tool to make product visuals"
What do you like best about Figma?

Powerful tool with lots of imaging options and customization. I use Figma primarily to make product screenshots and with our templates that we use, it takes seconds to frame a screenshot.

What do you dislike about Figma?

This is the first image editing and creation tool that I've used and it took me a while to navigate the tool. The tremendous amount of editing capability means that there's a lot to learn. Some things that I expected to be intuitive, like cropping an image, were not and I had to seek out resources to accomplish my task.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Figma to create high quality and a mass quantity of product screenshots and visuals. With Figma, we can do this much more quickly than before.

"Excellent collaboration tool"
What do you like best about Figma?

Ability to leave feedback directly on prototypes, visual designs, mocks, you name it. Work together with anyone on your team to review and walk through designs in real time. Great for beginners who do not have any prior experience.

What do you dislike about Figma?

Often times I am on the present mode and wonder why I can't switch back to the edit view so it can take a minute to get used to. As a product manager, I am often shared Figma links and can accidentally move the objects around. Would be good to have some sort of toggle or indicator to let me know whether I am in edit mode or "read-only".

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Figma for real-time collaborating, sharing feedback with the product design team on visual designs, prototypes, and using it as a working document for synthesizing user study research data.

"In between Canva and Illustrator"
What do you like best about Figma?

The ease of use of this platform is almost easier than Canva. But, it has functionality close to Illustrator. For someone like me who doesn't need to do highly complex designs, this is the perfect level of functionality. Anything too complex to do in Figma means it should be a designer doing it.

What do you dislike about Figma?

Nothing at all is to complain about so far.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

This saves a lot of time when there is an in-house designer that is busy with complicated design work.

"Achieves most, but could be more thoughtful"
What do you like best about Figma?

the layout and architecture of the tool is easy and simple, unlike some competing programs that require a bit more effort in setup.

What do you dislike about Figma?

certain tools and features that are intuitive/standard in other software isn't as easy to use/user friendly in Figma. Like, filling a grid of photos could be more user friendly since it requires a few steps to fill a shape with an image.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

Figma makes it really simple to organize my projects with "pages" and it makes me work a little faster and efficiently. I wish Figma would bring in some of the standard features of UX apps.

"Figma is easy to use once you get the hang of it"
What do you like best about Figma?

At first it's a little hard to understand but then it becomes simple. It just takes some minutes to understand

What do you dislike about Figma?

To be honest there's not much I dislike, it can be hard to export sometimes but rather than that it's fine

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been doing social media management but so far I haven't been having any problems. It's really easy to use and it is a problem solver

Easy user centric linking of screens together

What do you dislike about Figma?

Less control over transition types while navigating screens

Component, Autolayout, Variants are very useful, flexible features. We can create flexible and easily reusable components. It is useful not only for UI design but also creatives, presentations.

A greater choice of templates and kits would be great, instead of having to get them outsourced.

Sometimes it gets a little glitchy and does not work very well.

"Great tool for mockup creation and handoff to tech teams"
What do you like best about Figma?

Compared to Sketch this app is web-based, so several designers can work more easily on the same mockup. For developers, that means that mockups are always up to date. Figma comes with basic features for design handoff (comments system for collaboration, mockup inspector, use of symbols to create a design system).

What do you dislike about Figma?

There is a learning curve at using this tool and the team needs to be organised.

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Figma, we can have several designers working on the same mockups at the same time. We also have one source of truth for mockups. The tool has enough features to get the information required to integrate the mockup.

"Best collaborative design tool"
What do you like best about Figma?

I use Sketch, InVision studio, Figma, and XD for different situations. But if I ever need to collaborate in a design, it has to be Figma. Plus it’s free!

What do you dislike about Figma?

-You have to be connected to the internet to use it. -there isn’t as much third party plugin support -it’s not quite as feature rich as sketch -the menus are a little difficult to navigate -no easy connection to invision

What problems is Figma solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wonderful design tool for collaborating with a design or development team.
