iRise Reviews & Product Details

iRise is the #1 wireframe, prototyping, and integrated agile requirements management tool - including real-time integrations with the top ALM tools like Jira and Azure Devops. All in one simple, secure, integrated platform. iRise is easy to use, allows you to collaborate in real-time, and can cut the design/requirements phase by up to 50% and nearly eliminate change requests. Here’s a quick feature summary: Customizable libraries and interactive widgets speed the process. You can even drag your sketches or UI mockups into iRise and it will create pages to help jump-start your work. Build wireframes, mockups and prototypes for any device - mobile, desktop, or even watch apps. Capture requirements and comments for each screen and UI element directly within the prototype. Creating requirements “in-context” of the functionality they describe makes them much easier to understand and validate. The flexible RM tools can be configured to fit any process, Agile or more traditional. You can also create interactive diagrams to convey process flow and use cases. NO MORE SILOS! INTEGRATE YOUR SOFTWARE DELIVERY TOOLS Today there are tools for development, testing, requirements, design, product management and DevOps. You can dramatically improve the productivity of your software delivery teams by connecting these tools and giving everyone real-time updates as changes are made throughout the lifecycle. iRise integrates with all major SDLC platforms, including JIRA, Azure Devops (TFS), HP ALM/QC, IBM Rational, Jama, Rally, VersionOne, and 20+ other tools. This means that everyone can see the same accurate information in real time. MAKE SURE YOU'RE BUILDING THE RIGHT THING Customers can rarely articulate their own needs. Rapid prototyping gives product managers, designers, and business analysts an effective way to explore and vet concepts with real customers, wherever they may be. Invest only in the ideas that work, and use the prototype to draft the product backlog.

"Great Product, A lot to learn"

4.5/5

What do you like best about iRise?

It is really flexible to use.I love being able to make a prototype of an application prior to actually creating the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iRise?

There is an awfullot tolearn. Though once you know how to do something it is easy to remember. But it is just that learning curve which is awful. Though I will admit that the iRise team was always and available to assist whenever I needed help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iRise:

Go through the tutorial prior to use. I would also repeat it again if you do not use iRise for an extended amount of time. When creating prototypes keep the iRise Knowledge Center web site on another tab. If you are like me you will use it often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iRise solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was tired of creating applications which were not on the mark at all. the time and resource drain was tremendous. iRise enabled me to have a working prototypes for clients to interact with. This was far less expensive than actually coding up applications or solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Doing business with this company is nightmarish"

0/5

What do you like best about iRise?

The software is easy to use and allows for fast wireframing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iRise?

We were a startup and had signed up for an annual subscription for iRise. Unfortunately the startup went under last year and closed down. This year, they kicked in an automatic renewal. Have been trying to contact support for the past week immediately after they charged me.

#1. The number they have listed consistently gives the message that the "Mailbox of the person you are trying to contact is full., please try later"

#2. The online chat help support "Dominic" keeps telling me "No, the subscription is paid annually and can not be canceled. " - Does not give me any way of contacting a human or discussing the possibilities.

Not sure how to get a resolution from a 'Dead' company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AMAZING!"

5/5

What do you like best about iRise?

I have tried several of the prototyping tools and LOVE the intuitive nature of iRise. There are many ways to skin a cat while using it, and creating pages is easy with their widgets and Masters. I was able to wireframe my new app in 2-3 days, and link all my fields and buttons, creating a fully WORKING app prototype!

I took the online training course which really got me going, but for the ADVANCED page and field creation I cannot recommend enough how important the mentoring time can be. I had 16 hours of intense training, and feel like I can create almost anything now! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iRise?

Two small complaints, but plenty of work-arounds for both:

1) Eyedropper tool. Not in the system yet for PC, and using another app for RGB, you can still exact match your colors. I know they are working on it now.

2) I wish they had a better cataloging system for widgets. They are grouped, but it is not intuitive when you are starting out, so you end up spending a lot of time searching for button clusters, or data fields to adapt for your needs instead of creating from scratch. Once you get used to where they are located, and what they are called, it goes faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iRise:

DEFINITELY spend some time on the Mentoring with the customer success team. Send them what you have, and they can give recommendations for best practices, improvements, and adaptation for user experience. We had Eleanor in for 3 days and took leaps ahead with her training, help and guidance! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iRise solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are creating a new web portal and mobile app (ios and android) and needed a platform to show exactly how the app would work to hand off with requirements for our 1st launch, and subsequent launches to our programmers. The response time to get their low fidelity version back to us saved weeks of trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"iRise application"

4.5/5

What do you like best about iRise?

Features of application

Simplicity of UI

Ability to quickly create wireframes and prototypes with ease.

Separate modules are created for mobile and desktop wire framing.

Sharing of screens with larger audience and obtaining the feedback is the best feature which enables BA, Developer to get first hand feedback without any much effort.

Developer module to export created wireframes to host of technology frameworks ready made! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iRise?

Business logic definition within screens can be simplified little more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iRise solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using iRise application to quickly create wireframes and prototypes and share it with our business stakeholders before Functional specifications are signed off. This practice has improvised customer experience as it helps to visualize software upfront and avoid change requests at later part of game . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"You fall iRise"

5/5

What do you like best about iRise?

The business prototyping is more valuable than implementing the design. It's always better to be more precise in terms of design that can save a lot of time and money for the company who serving and whom served and iRise is exactly ensuring that part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iRise?

Integration with different other tools can always be a part of improvement for iRise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iRise:

Spending more time and effort in the design and visualization can be beneficial always so try once with iRise and I am sure you never Fall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iRise solving and how is that benefiting you?

Interacting different system design is what we solved and since at the initial stage it was used as a training mats for user, it helped them a lot in terms of understanding the whole process because visualization is the key feature of iRise and as we says 'Picture says thousand words' so that was well realized.

"iRise, Above the competition"

5/5

What do you like best about iRise?

Ease of use! I was able to jump right into iRise with no training (although it is provided) and start working. The ability to create mock ups and prototypes and have the requirements tie into and display with them seamlessly is the biggest plus for me. I also need to have feedback as I am doing preliminary design and even after development has started. Communication is key to my products success. iRise let's me get this information from anyone I choose to by allowing me to send a "review only access" link to my project for them to review. The link allows them to comment on the requirements and the prototypes, tying them together. This give me the feedback that I need, real-time but also allows for trace-ability should there be questions in the future on why things were done or changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iRise?

I don't dislike anything about the software. I do have requests for it, which I have been advised would be something that can be added in the future. My requests were to be able to format the requirements with bullet points and numbered lists if needed. I also requested the ability for reviewers to be able to comment without having to go through multiple clicks. It's not a very simple process for non-tech minded people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iRise:

If you are looking for a product that gets your vision out to stakeholders along with the documentation and you need that feedback, get a trial for iRise. They give generous amounts of time for you to use it. Don't just take my word on it, try it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iRise solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a tool that would house my requirements and system designs. I also wanted a way to communicate requirements with my dev group in a way that they would use. Long manuscript type of requirements were never read but the developers all used the Wireframes as a source of truth, with iRise I can get the requirements to them in a medium that they like to use blending the visual with the documentation.

"A trusted application that delivers well for its features"

4/5

What do you like best about iRise?

web interface is much better than the thick client. Prefer using it through the cloud.

Love it 100% better than the old UI.

excellent customer service and support

autosave functionality is very helpful when working

link sharing/collaboration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iRise?

That i can't do the Databinding i want to in the web app for conditional logic

Need better support for quick install of custom fonts (not through css)

Would like the sitemap tool to be in the web app so I can use the nav plan to socialize with my I/A and content teams

responsive design is not part of the program so I have to do separate models for iPad and iPhone

when i drop an object into a container, and that container has opacity set, the object inherits the opacity so I have to place it "over" the container - and that means I can't save it into my master

Recommendations to others considering iRise:

the web application for iRise is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iRise solving and how is that benefiting you?

the ability to protoptype in live design sessions with stakeholders has really improved speed to market, resolves ambiguities for developers, and provides a basis for Q/A in the display layer. Also allows me to do usability testing prior to engaging development teams so they can focus on back end and middleware, implied by the designs, while I am refining my interaction models.

"Quick Feedback from Business"

5/5

What do you like best about iRise?

Drastically shortens the feedback cycle for UI based projects. I can quickly create wireframes and get same-day or next-day feedback on them, make changes, and then restart the process. The requirement management portion of iRise is also top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iRise?

Reporting on iRise is meager at best, awful at worst. For example, there's no out of thebox report that will show me all of my requirements with their attributes (like priority, risk, owner, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iRise:

Get it if you have trouble getting feedback on UIs. Also get it if you have trouble managing business requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iRise solving and how is that benefiting you?

Modernization of old systems. The benefits are a drastically reduced project definition timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"iRise is a key tool in our consulting practise"

4.5/5

What do you like best about iRise?

The speed at which you can take a concept through to model in collaboration with the clients. Once a client sees the working model, the requirements take on a life of their own and subsequent conversations get easier to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iRise?

Having to register each user/reviewer of the reader and download the readersoftware from the iRise site is sometimes an issue with some clients. The online editing does not include scenarios at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
