"A valuable tool that's fun to use"

4/5

What do you like best about Axure RP?

As a UX designer - I get a lot of inspiration from the experience of using the tool. It's very cleverly designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axure RP?

It has a fairly steep learning curve. I think the ideal user of Axure is someone with some coding experience. There are a fair share of debugging moments that come up where you need to ask yourself "Why is it behaving like this? What am I actually telling Axure to do?" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Axure RP:

Expect to spend some time learning Axure. I've personally also have had a hard time searching for advice online when I hit a wall - but I believe that my use cases are fairly complex in comparison to others needs (implementing drag and drop and complex screens - think like an excel style software). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axure RP solving and how is that benefiting you?

I build prototypes for usability testing and sometimes I'll mock up ideas that require some interactivity so that I can test how a design feels or to communicate how I intend a design to work when I hand it off to developers. My company's product has a lot of interactivity like drag and drop that needs to be built into the prototypes - and Axure has that power and flexibility. Other tools mainly rely on clicking hotspots to jump through screens. This doesn't work for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Prototyping software"

5/5

What do you like best about Axure RP?

I've used most prototyping solutions out there, Sketch, Adobe XD, Invision, etc. and I found repeatedly that none of them match that power that Axure has. Occasionally I'll think, "I'll try to build this in [ insert software ]" and most times I regret it. Variables, dynamic states, the pre-built widget library (what a time saver that is!!); all are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axure RP?

It's visual design capabilities could continue to use improvement and collaboration. For instance, we are using Figma to form our visual design library because there are a few things we can't do in Axure visually. However, when I go to build a functional page, with dynamic states and everything, I'm reminded that Axure does that far better, so I often end up building 2 things - a visual version and then a functional version. One day I hope to have a tool that does both well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, powerful wireframing and prototyping tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Axure RP?

I like how Axure allows you to build clean, complex, highly interactive prototypes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axure RP?

I would like to have more icons, and components to be available by default rather than having to download them from the Axure forum Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Axure RP:

The initial learning curve may seem steep but once you start using it, the tool is very powerful. Look up helpful videos on the Axure forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axure RP solving and how is that benefiting you?

Axure allows you to build clean, complex, highly interactive prototypes to communicate requirements and design ideas. This allows you to validate decisions prior to development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The 'logical' choice!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Axure RP?

I really like the fact that we can 'code' conditional statements and have a logical formatting. For example, we can have IF/THEN statements to have different interactions based on different 'inputs'. This is much easier than creating multiple screens/boards and then linking them up individually. I have not seen this feature in any other apps I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axure RP?

I do not have any issues with the app. But, I imagine that the interface may seem a little daunting to new users because of its similarity with coding platforms. The learning curve is ever so slightly steeper than other prototyping software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axure RP solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem we are solving is, of course, prototyping software and testing it with users before handing it off to the developers for the final builds. The benefit of RP, in particular, is that it is closer to code (HTML/CSS) than other platforms. This feature makes it more friendly to developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding, top-of-the-line wireframing tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Axure RP?

Axure RP is a top-notch wireframing tool. Of the various tools I've used, including Balsamiq and Adobe products, I've found Axure to be the best-in-class solution for wireframing specifically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axure RP?

The wireframing capability of Axure RP is top-notch. For prototyping, I prefer Adobe XD, which I find easier to use and more powerful in its range of applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential tool for UX Designers"

5/5

What do you like best about Axure RP?

Axure is by far the best tool I've used for UX Design. In previous years I've used Photoshop, Sketch, and briefly Figma. Axure gives me a lot more control without headaches. I can easily simulate animations and transitions right within the tool. No plugins are needed. Pull in shared libraries. The built-in version control is a huge win for this tool. This was completely missing from tools like Sketch, which makes collaboration difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axure RP?

Axure is powerful. Some discretion is needed to not "over-engineer" a prototype or sink a lot of time into the prototyping. For example, my team has decided that anything simulating JS or string manipulation is duplicative and not worth the effort. There is also a steep learning curve for Axure since it is so powerful. So getting up and running takes a little longer, but it is worth the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Axure RP:

If your UX team/practice is mature, Axure is a great choice. For speed/leanness, another tool like Sketch may be easier to ramp up on. Axure has a steep learning curve, but it is for sure the best tool I've used for the job. May not be best for newbies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axure RP solving and how is that benefiting you?

Axure is amazing for simulating different states as they will look in the coded result. Saves time not having to duplicate the design illustrating different UI states. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
