Absolutely! It just depends on what your goals are and how much fidelity you need. In other words: do you need something that's fully interactive and feels like the real thing? Or do you need something to just test a hypothesis and make an idea more tangible?

The tool you use should support your needs.

Primitive/Low-Fidelity - best for quick testing of an idea:
 - Paper and sharpie (yup, I'm serious)
 - Keynote/Powerpoint

Basic/Medium-Fidelity - when your idea is more complex or you're testing interaction models, navigation, etc.
 - Sketch (built-in prototyping)
 - Figma (built-in prototyping)
 - Invision (w/ Invision Studio or one of the above)

Advanced / High-fidelity - when you need something that feels... "real"
 - Sketch (built-in prototyping)
 - Figma (built-in prototyping)
 - Invision (w/ Invision Studio or one of the above)
 - Framer (code-centric)
 - Principle (great for testing animations/transitions)

There are many many others, but these are the most frequently used tools found in my tool chest. Axure is too far on the "why-not-just-build-it" spectrum for me. Balsamiq is too corny and single-purpose.

Again, depends on your goals, your comfort level with the tools and the time available for putting it all together.
