Figma Reviews & Product Details

Simple to use and very light, our team will function in the same file, update or comment concurrently. They have genuinely enhanced and elegantly solved many of the pressure points on other sites. All big repeat features that require several clicks or custom shuts in rival programs are supported by a hotkey. It is cloud-based, yet another really positive thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I don't like any about it. There are also some issues with the prototype tool and it operates very slowly that some customers would share our ties. The absence of a hotkey to switch from vertical to automated horizontal design. Alternatively, the fee increases if you are working on many projects and wish to do more than the free level permits. Yet it is a market model that is understandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of figma is that you can work as a team. Explaining designs is one important task for designers. In figma you can share the liknk or at a time different people can open figma on the desktop to view what the other person is explaining by observing his mouse pointer. The transparency achieved with Figma is extremely great. As a designer it solved a lot of problems for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma can be overwhelming first. As their are a lot of additional features which are not apparent in the beggining but you need to actually take training on the various features of the software. For e.g we can define components, symbols etc and copy in across different artboards. But the concept of components was not apparent to me initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

figma is a design tool that is collaborative and online. As it is a web application, there is no need to download, install and much less update. It is possible to download it to your computer, but it is not mandatory. Your work is automatically saved in the cloud and a link is generated for each project in a simple, light and fluid way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have a negative aspect to report on figma, the more I use it, the more reasons I find to recommend it to the world - to the point of writing an evaluation about it. There are hundreds of details that you end up discovering during the journey of use, and this is what helps to make the experience even more interesting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The autosave feature is the most obvious help, making sure that no work is ever lost for any reason. The ability to add and save text styles and color styles allows changes to made over an entire website/app much easier and faster. Meanwhile the instant flexibility of being able to share live updates with my team/clients is a powerful tool as well, and being able to add comments to certain sections of work makes it easier for me and my teammates to communicate about edits, changes, and question very simple - even when we're working remotely. Makes editing websites and apps with multiple collaborators a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Opening Figma in my browser always seems to massive slowdown my computer. Maybe it's just a me thing, or maybe it's some sort of bug? A lot of my fonts also don't load in the browser format, forcing me to always have to open my work in the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma and its collaboration tool is outstanding. It allows you to comment and edit your work throughout the process and see live actions of other team members. It helps to keep the files organized, without interrupting others' work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The file management system is a bit confusing at first. Even though Figma is very easy to use, there were many times where I wasn't sure how to go back to the home screen with all of my projects in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is the first software that I used to start designing, It is beginner friendly and pretty much serves its value. At first I started it for vector designing and trust me using this was so much easy. Also it is free of cost and a lot of people use this so its easy for you to get tutorials on this if you like to start with it or stuck somewhere in between. Apart from just vector designing you can also use this for prototyping. Whether the prototype is for a website of a mobile app this just works fine for everything. Also this is you can export the files in different formats. Also you can collaborate with your other friend or partners on a project. And by mistake if you make a mistake it is very easy to roll it back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't find any big cons but the only con with this is that you need to be in continuous internet connection to use this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma has become my favorite design tool. If you have any previous knowledge in any other design program onboarding is really easy. Creating, sharing and prototyping has become a collaborative work that I can do from anywhere thanks to its web modality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like Figma to allow better organization of the files, despite having projects, these can grow and become a mess easily, if the files could be organized by status or subfolders would be great!

Additionally, sometimes prototypes may have some glitches not showing all of the screens linked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* The duplication feature creates a new frame right next to the old one in a sequence.

* You can align widgets perfectly - A lot of assistance from the IDE on that on.

* The frames you create already fit the popular device resolutions out there.

* Working on the web with colleges on the same file Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Lack of support for RTL languages. The current plugins out there are not enough!!! And you can't use them when your'e building smart components and editing every instance.

* Prototyping definition is nice but if you want to simulate a very complex system you'll end up messing with a lot of spaghetti.

* Resizing a frame moves the elements inside by a certain logic - that can be cool sometimes, and very annoying in other times... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Figma's preloaded templates and guides that make designing for beginners super simple and straightforward. It also has great copy and paste functions and is a lot faster to use than adobe illustrator. It's workspace/interface is also handy, allowing you to have quite a lot of content in one place, rather than a ton of different files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma takes some time to get your head around, particularly we often have to explain the exporting function. It would be good to also have a few more social media format templates available within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Collaboration is key in modern software developer teams, the easier communication can be managed and follow is king. Figma allows you to collab with design peers, stakeholders, and even developers in real-time. You are allowed to make changes on documents, and the same screens along with your teammates doing the same exercise, those tools bring collaboration to a whole new level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma is not a tool for beginners, to get the most out of it, you need to learn and build design systems and reusable symbol, this means Figma might be difficult for developers at some points trying to get minor changes to export assets to their dev features. Although, on the bright side the learning curve is not that high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What makes Figma amazing is it’s collaborative feature set. Working within a big team of UX Designers it’s amazing to work with a colleague on the same file in real time.

Also it being web and cloud based at it’s core means we don’t have to worry about versioning and where to store our design files. It’s always up to date and available.

Another big benefit being web based is that I can easily share files with colleagues outside of the Design team without them having to install any tool. It just works from the browser regardless of the OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I’m noticing is some performance loss for it being not a native design application. It sometimes struggles with big files with lots of assets. But it’s a rare occurrence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use and create screens and the application in phone helps you mirror the screens you've created. Also pre-built templates makes it easy to create the prototype faster. We are easily able to collaborate with everyone in the team. Team can add comments if there are any necessary updates. we are easily able to export files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike as you can create a prototype. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The multiple members editing mode is very useful when you are working on interfaces and iterate live with your teammates to make decisions or proving new or multiple ideas, or even if you are only brainstorming trying to solve user problems through designing interfaces for the customers.

The prototyping tools are very useful, before we were using invision with sketch but after trying Figma we really love that it has within this excellent tool, the scope you can get with the prototyping tool is very huge, from transitions, micro-interactions to adding gif animations is very helpful for me and my team members through the company.

The whole tools that you are enhancement constantly are so awesome, because in most of the cases you are better than the other designing software.

The Figma mirror tool and app is really useful too because you have the real context in which your interfaces will come to real life.

The browser mode is also great because it doesn't matter if you don't have your computer, if you only get access to the internet, you can edit, iterate, and export your changes.

The SVG export tool is awesome too and the zeplin plugin is very useful for the frontend developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fusion mode is somethimes confusing because you get like a group or folder instead to create only one shape.

The snap to pixels when you are trying to create icons is very annoying because is so hard to center or aligned more than 2 elements, or when you are trying to scale, most of the cases the shape is changing because of the snap to pixels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that makes Figma shine is the ability to collaborate and work real time with another team member. As you are working with someone else you can see where the other person is, focus on what theyre working by clicking their name, and invite others to work on the project with you. That's the single thing that made me switch from XD. I also like the fact you can work in the Figma website just as you can the app. There are minor variations on the tools, but works just the same, which is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are random annoyances with Figma, and they seem to compound the more I learn it. A large part of me wishes to go back to adobe XD for ease of use and familiarity of their products. The ease of use definitely is lacking in Figma. I do like the layers you can do but just simple things like pasting in the art board gets weird. somethings are locked in the art board when you try to resize the art board also warps the text and image of only some things within the art board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I learned how to use it very quickly. It's intuitive, and you can pretty much achieve anything you want in terms of design. I also love its interactivity. I like that I can work on projects with professional designers on the same board without having to learn more complex design programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features just take a little to get used to, but It's not the end of the world. It's just practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma is lightweight enough that it allows design and marketing teams a quick space to collaborate and work asynchronously. Also the design system tools allow us to lock in brand elements and empower teams to access the right brand-approved assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I prefer the desktop app over the cloud app for the better track pad controls and hot keys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- That it is on the web and thus accessible to everyone.

- You don't need any software/app/or a certain brand of computer.

- Both two facts above make collaboration in a team super easy and seamless. You can also work on a document together at the same time which is great!

This functionality feels like a no-brainer in the Google docs era but there is plenty of design software out there that don't have this and it definitely sets Figma apart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Somehow I still don't like the user interface of Figma compared to something like Sketch but that may just be because I started with one and am thus finding the switch challenging. I will still keep my individual projects in Sketch and use Figma mostly if I need to be in contact with team members and align on certain things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Where do i begin. The hands down best thing about this program is that it's collaborative. The amount of time saved by nothing having to save drafts has made graphic design worth pursuing further. It's also propelled my career into more of a UI role which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a somewhat heavy program and if my computer is having a bad day, then figma will be the reason it resets itself. This can be super frustrating. There are also some tools that don't translate well from illustrator and it's frustrating if i ever have to use both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about figma is that it's beginner friendly and they have lots of tips and tricks available on their Youtube channel itself. The other thing is the collaborative workflow that figma provides, I've been using figma for more than 1 year and I use it for all sorts of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a mobile friendly version of figma so that I can make changes on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazing easy and collaborative tool for UI design and Share design with another designer at the end share with developer without any limitation.Extra fast collaborative tool instead of other tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I actually used to with other tools so its vector drawing elements little bit, not smooth I think need to improve this and add some more prototype feature like hover effects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma is a powerful tool yet easy to jump start with. It became very popular recently, and you can find mention of it in many design/UX related job requirements/nice to have lists. I was able to start putting together my first designs after watching and introductory one hour log class on LinkedIn.com. You can create your own icons or you can import design elements, icons and templates as starting points. Also, it is very easy to create and reuse components and make prototypes. Figma provides means for collaboration, for creating team projects, sharing, commenting, and real time tracking of your collaborators working on the projects. You can also keep and create versions, and organize your content in layers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some things are not that intuitive. I spent quite a time to find an answer to a simple how to swap images question. But I am just starting and that can be easily a part of learning curve (they have very good documentation and tutorials to refer to!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The target audience for Figma is not only the designers but everyone involved in software development.

Figma is one of the best design tools that help us create quick mockups and improve our throughput.

Best features:

- Easy prototyping

- Single Canvas to view and arrange multiple mockups

- Play multiple mocks in sequence for real UI emulation

- Easy sharing

- The comment system is very good

- Live cursor sharing to collab Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma is a new tool and comes with its own caveats. One of which is, the performance.

The web-based tool is a memory hog and starts getting slow as soon.

The performance of Figma can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
