Axure RP was one of the first softwares that made prototyping very fast and easy for designers. I enjoyed using Axure RP when learning about UX Design because it was simple and allow me to easily learn how to prototype and use interactive ui elements by clicking and dragging. And most importantly the use of layers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Axure RP needs a ton of work in making collaborating and sharing designs faster and easier. I personally hated working on a prototype with other designers and having to manually uploaded to the cloud every time instead of doing it automatically for me. There were times were both designers would be working on the same page and either one of us would lose our work because there is no way where Axure lets you know someone else is currently working on the project.

We can create a prototype with data fields unlike other tools (Balsamiq, sketch, Adobe). It is very easy to create interactions and define conditions when to navigate to which screen. The screens look very fine and polished using Axure (looks like a real application).

Axure has wide set of options to create an interface which you can use. It is very easy to share to public using this tool. Converting the prototype/screens into html is a bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Privacy of the tool is restricted. Your screens are in Axure cloud once you share it and whoever has link can access those screens within or outside your company network.

The UI library is not very extensive. Example : text field is only one available in Axure (box), where as there are lot of ways to enter a field value (Just a line). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can design beyond just pages as it allows you to do much more in terms of interactions and code than other wireframing software out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can sometimes get carried away designing something too complicated, when it's not needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very powerful, and I can program it to perform a multitude of complex interactions. I will say it's best features have started to be included with Invision and Sketch, but the ability to upload a working prototype quickly with interactivity is amazing.

It's expensive, so getting additional licenses for others is a challenge. It also has a steep learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be very fast and convenient to build up my wireframe and prototypes using Axure, because there are a lot of existing libraries which are shared by other users and my colleges. It is still the largest ux tool, so many big communities provide me the best resources when using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel it is a little bit heavy in terms of installing, sharing and presenting. If I want to show my boss a very small idea or a small prototype, I will also need many steps to make it looks better. Btw, the team project feature is great, but as a manager, I would like to have a team workflow function with it, which allows me to assign different task and element to my team members.

Axure RP offer a layer based stacking for the structures segments which makes it a lot less demanding to make communications with various components of the plan. Additionally, what is incredible about Axure RP is that it distributes the model as an interactive electronic HTML model which can be opened up in any program.

A couple of things are not as natural or impractical with Axure. It does all that I require it to do with the exception of the capacity to have dynamic experts. I wish I might make an ace and alter each occasion on the individual pages. I additionally wish getting customer remarks would be somewhat less demanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Axure because it scales to your needs and is easy to use! I love that you can make FUNCTIONAL prototypes with this software! Being able to present a "working prototype" is a huge benefit of this tool.

I also love the fact that you can have "pages" that when published can mimic a real working website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Axure has some of the features which needs a learning curve.

I wish there was a spec sheet to hand off to developers. Often when I hand over my wires, they have to replicate what I've created just by sight.

The default graphic set is not vast so you might have to rely on some external graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked the compatibility with different devices like desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile.

Designing the wireframes was easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I disliked the fact that it didn't have many animation features and such Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about axure is that it can customise actions with simple formula counting. Also, the interface is easy to pickup, one of the best things is that can copy and paste directly. and layers matter to a lot of situations which is really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still, there's a lot of things to improve- such as the setting of transition effect, should be able to move around with space key in a screen because it's easy to get lost within. Some of the formula settings are complicated as well, which is a bit unfriendly to junior users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are 2 main features I like the most:

1) Ready-to-use elements for wireframing ( text input fields, images, buttons, etc)- using easy drag and drop you can build the basic wireframe in minutes;

2) Prototyping with the basic animations - very realistic, and is using the same principles that the developers will use afterwards Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I couldn't find a way for creating symbols to build a design system even inside one project- so, I have to apply the style changes to each element separately. Also, the visual design options are not as wide, as, say, in Sketch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
