Figma Reviews & Product Details

I love the speed with which I can work in Figma. Collaborating with others is very simple. Once you understand how instances, variants, and library tokens work, it's like working with superpowers. The note functionality for leaving technical specification comments is very useful. Also, building design libraries to reuse later is great. Overall, Figma is the most comprehensive tool available today. The initial setup of Figma was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the autolayout function, although very detailed for creating scalable designs, sometimes becomes a bit repetitive having to configure every element one by one. I don't know how it could be made simpler. And I would like Figma to be smart enough to prototype directly from my designs by selecting the screens I want to be part of the prototype.

It's a real-time collaborative design experience. Multiple designers, developers, and stakeholders can work on the same file simultaneously, making the entire product design workflow much faster and more transparent.

The browser-based accessibility is a huge advantage. Since it runs smoothly without a heavy local setup, teams can access projects from anywhere and collaborate easily across devices and operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Version management can get messy in larger teams. With multiple people working at the same time, keeping a clear structure, consistent naming conventions, and a tidy component library takes strong internal discipline; otherwise, files can gradually become hard to navigate and maintain.

I also feel that while prototyping in Figma is great for most user flows, it still has limitations with highly advanced animations, micro-interactions, and complex motion design compared to dedicated tools like Adobe After Effects or ProtoPie.

From a UX perspective, frequent feature releases can make the interface feel crowded, especially for beginners who are still learning the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it allows for project management and project creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like Figma’s pricing, especially the fact that it only lets you start one project before you have to pay. Because of this the ROI is not always there. Onboarding is easy for it because of the simplicity of inviting a team member and the performance is great for organizing projects. They allow us to integrate in many new ways which is awesome and also use Adobe created content within the app once exported. The AI is great as a helper. The UI day-to-day use is great as everything stays organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the versatility of its tools and how easy it is to use, there are a lot of informative tooltips that help users navigate its various toolset. The community also offers a wide variety of templates that are helpful, from icon packs and UI templates to flow diagrams. It is a great tool for designing and prototyping web apps and systems, bringing your ideas to life in a timely manner. I frequently use this tool whenever I have tasks to convey certain ideas visually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is that it requires a constant internet connection to access its full functionality. This becomes a problem when I need to work offline or when my internet connection isn’t stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how easy Figma is to use. The user experience is so satisfying, allowing me to mock things up pretty quickly, and it's definitely better than Adobe. I love how all the features are laid out; it's so easy to navigate, and I picked it up very quickly. The real-time collaboration, prototyping, design library, and grid layout features are invaluable to me. I also enjoy using plugins like Phosphor Icons, Iconify, Unsplash, and the Accessibility Checker. The initial setup was very easy, and I work with a team of 5-10 people. Overall, I would rate my likelihood to recommend Figma a perfect 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the auto-layout feature challenging. It took me a lot of tutorials to figure it out, and I still don't think I have it fully understood. It's amazing when it works but horrendous when it doesn't. I wish there was a way it was explained more on the Figma app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Figma's collaborative nature, which allows me to work on a large canvas and design apps and websites from scratch. The one-click share is incredibly convenient, enabling me to share designs directly with others without requiring them to log in. The ability for others to comment and provide feedback is very collaborative and essential for me. I also find the dev mode valuable for handing off designs to developers, as they can switch to dev mode and use code connect. Figma significantly aids in the handoff process. The setup was easy for us because the team was already familiar with Figma, and we appreciated that it was more collaborative than our previous tool, XD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few things which Figma can improve, where for developers specifically I think there should be more options for integrations with existing VS Code so that they don't even have to pull Figma every time. Something like Figma MCP connected directly to their Visual Studio Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma is how easy it makes collaboration. It feels less like using a design tool and more like working together on the same whiteboard in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike about Figma is that it can start feeling slow when working on very large files or complex projects with too many components. Sometimes it gets a bit laggy, especially with multiple pages and heavy prototypes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the flexibility of Figma when designing and working on different artworks until achieving the result I'm looking for. I appreciate the cooperative work it allows, as I work together with different teams and personnel in other locations. This facilitates greater progress by working simultaneously on different projects. Additionally, I find it efficient to be able to distribute different activities and work on the same page during communication campaigns in my company to see the progress and help each other. It's also great that it can connect with ChatGPT to advance even further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't find a clear guide on all the functionalities. A basic guide to explain the tools from the most basic to the most advanced on the platform. It's not very intuitive but they helped me set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Figma is its real-time collaboration. It makes it simple for designers and developers to work together, share feedback smoothly, and apply updates quickly from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma works really well overall, but large, complex files can sometimes slow down, especially when several people are editing them at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about using Figma is that we can design as well as we can create prototype there itself. With the use of plugins we can create prototype using animation that gives an experience similar to using a live website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I have come across is the load time with the file is loaded with lots of pages and lots of screens in a single page.

I can understand that its a server based application but when we have to refer two files during a client call, it takes lots of waiting time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
