Figma Reviews & Product Details

I like Figma for its real-time collaboration, which bridges the gap between design and development efforts. The dev mode for precise spacing and padding details eliminates the need for manually giving these details to developers. The handoff process has become quite easy, allowing designers to focus on creating designs and adding handoff notes. Setting up Figma was very easy, I just upgraded from the Pro to the Organization plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is a bit too much, I'm an owner for Figma account on Organisation plan and I don't like it. Features such as Figma sites and Figma Buzz are not used in my organization would be able to turn those off and get a discount on the full seat and dev seat. Prototyping could be made better, more logics for prototyping such as ability to add timers, formulas, using voice commands to trigger like Protopie does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For product teams especially, it bridges the gap between design and development pretty well, developers can directly inspect elements, grab assets, and understand layouts without too much back-and-forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that can get frustrating with Figma is performance, especially on larger files. Once a project gets heavy with multiple pages, components, and assets, it can start to lag or feel a bit sluggish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Figma is its real-time collaboration and ease of use. It allows designers and stakeholders to work together seamlessly in one shared file, which significantly speeds up the design and feedback process. The interface is intuitive, cloud-based access eliminates version control issues, and features like components, auto layout, and design systems make it efficient to maintain consistency across projects.

ne thing I dislike about Figma is that performance can slow down when working with very large files or complex design systems. It can also be limiting when internet connectivity is unstable, since many core features rely on being online. Additionally, some advanced features and collaboration tools are restricted to paid plans, which may be a drawback for individual designers or small teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma’s Auto Layout and Component system are game-changers for my workflow. It allows me to create responsive designs for complex projects, like my real estate landing page, with perfect spacing and consistency. The real-time collaboration also makes it easy to share progress with others instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve for advanced prototyping and 'Variables' can be a bit steep for beginners. Also, the mobile app is great for viewing, but I would love to see more robust editing features on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma is super intuitive to use and makes collaboration within the team extremely easy because multiple people can work on the design simultaneously. Additionally, it runs directly in the browser, which makes getting started and onboarding very straightforward and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With large files or when many components are in use, Figma can become somewhat slower, which noticeably affects performance. Additionally, some advanced features are only available in the paid plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you’re building anything digital—especially websites—this is a solid tool to have. It’s intuitive, which really helps if you’re a designer learning something new, and it also makes the job easier for developers. Setting up prototypes is fairly straightforward as well. The pricing is great, especially since not everyone needs full access; some people only need collaboration access. Honestly, we got a lot done on the free plan, so you might not even need to buy a subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GIFs don’t autoplay when you open a page, and any image edits have to be done outside of Figma. I wish there were a way to handle basic image editing within Figma itself—maybe there’s a plugin for it, but either way I’ve always found that limitation a bit annoying.

Figma is not just drawing software, but a smart workspace.

- It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and the Chrome browser.

- You edit an element once, and it updates on all 100 screens where you used it.

- "Auto Layout" (My favorite feature): It makes elements behave like they do in real life (or like they do in HTML/CSS code).

Benefit: If you delete an element in a list, the rest automatically move up to fill the space. It saves hours of repetitive work.

- Community and Plugins: Figma has a massive community that creates free tools within the platform.

- "Smart Animate" Prototyping: It's the easiest way to go from a static design to something that looks like a real app.

- Everything is in the cloud. The file you see is the same one your collaborator or programmer sees. The version history lets you go back in time if you make a mistake.

- The free plan is extremely generous (unlimited draft projects).

- Developers can view exact measurements, colors in HEX format, and CSS code directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- RAM usage: If you work with files containing many high-resolution images or hundreds of pages, the browser or desktop app can become slow or even crash unexpectedly with an "Out of memory" message. This forces you to have a computer with ample RAM (at least 16GB for smooth performance) if you're a heavy user.

- The file system and "Drafts": The file organization on the home screen is somewhat chaotic. If you don't pay for a subscription, your projects are "trapped" in a drafts section that's difficult to organize into folders.

- Offline mode is practically nonexistent: You need an internet connection to upload files for the first time and for changes to be saved securely to the cloud.

- The "Promise" of Dev Mode (Paid): Many features that were previously free (such as easily copying CSS properties) are now tied to a rather expensive paid subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

=Figma also integrates well with other tools we use, which makes it easy to move from design to dev without friction. Performance is solid even with large files, and real-time collabs help speed up workflows. From a pricing standpoint, it's a good value compared to other tools, especially with how much it streamlines team communication. Onboarding is straightforward, and new team members can pick it up quickly. The newer AI features are a nice bonus for speeding up small tasks and integrations.

The AI features could be improved. Sometimes, the controls don't work as expected, and the outputs can be inconsistent or inaccurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Figma is both user-friendly and feature-rich. It lets me whip up prototypes fast and share them seamlessly with teammates. Getting started was straightforward and hassle-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tiers are broken; you pay significantly more for trivial features. Developer tools often require upgrading to a higher tier that's almost double our current plan's price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma is very useful tool to design the applications and very much easy to do and user friendly that made us to create the wireframes for software designing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a limited support in offline meanwhile we need a good internet connection without internet connection we can't get good support and one thing and for teams to the work together we need a paid subscription. And it take too long to open the files, getting lags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
