Adobe XD Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Adobe XD is that it feels easy to jump into. It does not feel overwhelming, especially for students or people who are still building confidence in UX design.

The most helpful part is being able to quickly turn an idea into something visual. You can make a few screens, connect them, test a flow, and start explaining the experience without needing to be some expert designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Adobe XD is that it feels like it got left behind a little. It was once a really strong tool for beginners and quick prototyping, but now it feels less supported compared to tools like Figma.

The least helpful part is when teams are already using something else. Then Adobe XD becomes harder to justify, even if it is easy to use.

The downside is you can learn the basics, but still need to switch tools later for real team workflows, handoff, and collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe XD is very helpful for designing UI/UX layouts and building interactive prototypes. Its clean interface and intuitive drag-and-drop tools make it easy to put screens together quickly without adding unnecessary complexity. I especially like how components and repeat grids speed up the workflow, particularly when I’m working across multiple screens and need consistency. It also integrates well with other Adobe tools, which makes managing and reusing assets much easier. Overall, it’s a solid way to create, review, and test designs efficiently before moving into development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe XD is easy to use, but it feels limited in some advanced features compared to other UI/UX tools. The prototyping options are good, but not as flexible for complex interactions. Collaboration features could also be improved, especially for real-time teamwork. Additionally, updates and new features have slowed down, which makes it feel less active compared to other design tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very user friendly and quick to learn/understand for non-coder designers. It's very easy to organize files and import images and other assets from other Adobe programs. The preview mechanism in both mobile and desktop is very useful for refining website designs.

I have never had any issues with loading pages or assets, and the software itself is very seamless.

I've never had any major issues with the software, but Adobe has been pretty good at replying to any bugs or fixes, with the software being optimized and automatically updated pretty regularly.

A very good value for the cost, and a very good alternative for front end development and still being backend development-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can't do everything that photoshop, Illustrator, or Indesign can do—so it's best to use those applications for in-depth graphics or text formatting. Photoshop and Illustrator both have decent AI integrations for quick fixes that XD doesn't seem to have as of yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using XD for the last 5 years already, it's super handy to prepare wireframes and mockups. Also downloading some 3rd party libraries you have assets you can use to create your mocks faster.

It's easy to export assets in different formats.

As I have my Adobe Cloud account, it's an affordable tool, considering I also use Photoshop, Illustrator, among other Adobe tools.

So far, I never experienced an issue that required me to contact support.

Even though there is no AI tool for XD, there are for Photoshop and other tools. These help me create better assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's useful for me for creating mocks when I don't need others to collab.

But it lacks of real-time collaboration.

And it doesn't have a robuts plugin ecosystem.

There is no version control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easily it integrates with other Adobe apps, like Cloud Libraries, and how I can copy and paste directly from an Illustrator document. It makes it simple to maintain style consistency across different screen designs. It’s also easy to set up a usable prototype and quickly impress a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it integrates well, it still feels like a completely separate app. Unlike Figma, where you can create vectors in the same file you’re using to design screens and prototypes, this keeps those tasks split across different places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed of being about to spin up a design without having to code or create on page maker. Being able to create links from screen to screen is helpful for presenting to clients. Changes and iterations are super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of portability. I work in Webflow primarily and there is just not a good solid path from XD to Webflow. A minor, but bothersome is not being able to control where you zoom to when you zoom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Adobe XD blends a straightforward interface with robust design capabilities. The software is lightweight, quick, and easy to use, making it ideal for building wireframes, prototypes, and UI designs without any extra complications. The Repeat Grid feature is especially helpful, saving a lot of time when working on lists or galleries. Additionally, the auto-animate transitions add a smooth, realistic feel to interactive prototypes. I also value its seamless integration with other Adobe apps such as Photoshop and Illustrator, which helps keep all my creative work within a single ecosystem.

While Adobe XD offers a strong platform for UI/UX design, it still misses some advanced features that are available in tools like Figma. Real-time collaboration does not feel as seamless, and sharing projects with a team can sometimes be restrictive. Updates tend to roll out slowly, and I have encountered issues with certain plug-ins or integrations being buggy or unreliable. Additionally, managing design systems and components across several projects often feels more complex than necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless Adobe Ecosystem: If you use Photoshop or Illustrator, the integration is unmatched. You can copy-paste vector assets directly into XD without losing editability or quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of Real-Time Collaboration: Compared to Figma, XD’s "Co-editing" has historically been clunkier and more prone to sync errors. It doesn't offer the same "infinite canvas" multi-player experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to leave comments on specific areas of the mockup, and see other comments at the same time. Having one location for QA and feedback directly on the mockup saves our web team a ton of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes access can become an issue or a link will break or change, which can be confusing during a design review Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s been easy to help design our app so we can check how our service is doing during a patient’s stay and throughout their treatment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to complain about. The performance is amazing, and the price for helping design and build an app feels perfect for the level of quality and security it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
