Sketch Reviews & Product Details

I love Sketch for its simplicity and lightweight feel, making it my go-to editor for vector images. Even though I'm not really an artist or designer, using Sketch is a breeze compared to Figma. I started using Sketch as a replacement for Fireworks, and I’ve stuck with it because it fits my needs perfectly. I appreciate how easy it is to access the basic tools for tasks like light raster image editing, editing SVGs, and recoloring things. Everything I need is extremely easy to access, which makes my workflow very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think maybe the UI with exporting SVGs/PNGs could be updated a little. Even though the UX for this has not changed in the whole time I've used Sketch and I use this feature often, I always end up accidentally exporting a PNG instead of an SVG because of how away the export options are to the button to export.

Using Sketch feels like stepping into a clean, designer-friendly playground where everything just flows. It’s fast, lightweight, and works perfectly even offline — no slow-loading screens, no cloud drama, just pure design peace. The real magic shows up with its symbols, shared styles, and vector tools. Create a button or icon once, and you can reuse it everywhere with total consistency. It makes the whole workflow feel smarter and way more enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, Sketch is a strong and capable tool, but it sometimes feels a bit behind when it comes to modern collaboration features. The biggest downside is that it works only on macOS, which makes teamwork difficult if everyone isn’t using a Mac. It’s great for solo work, but cross-platform collaboration definitely takes a hit.

What I like most about Sketch is its clean, straightforward workflow for UI design. It helps me turn ideas into polished, professional-looking screens quickly, without adding unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketch is a very powerful tool, but because it’s only available on macOS, it can make collaboration harder with teammates and users on other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use on both iPad and laptop. I can sync across the company team workspace with a single click. Being able to create a note repository for the design team is also super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It only runs on macOS, which is a limitation at times, especially when we’re travelling to a client location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketch is a professional vector design tool optimized exclusively for macOS. While it has faced heavy competition from browser-based tools like Figma, it remains a favorite for its performance and native feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Problem It Solves: It eliminates the "bloat" of general-purpose editors (like Photoshop) by focusing strictly on UI/UX and web design.

• Best Feature: Its Symbol and Shared Library system allows you to build massive design systems where a single change to a "Master" component updates every instance across your entire project instantly.

• Unique Advantage: Since it’s a native Mac app, it works perfectly offline, feels faster than browser tools, and utilizes macOS features (like the Command Bar) for a high-speed workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketch is simple and uncluttered, but it is a powerful design tool. I've used Sketch for years and while I've tried competing products, they never feel as intuitive. Sketch is the perfect product for web design work but I also turn to it for digital brochures and other graphic design tasks, because it's the fastest way for me to move from concept to finished product.

I'm still wrapping my head around some of the new features. As I'm working independently, I use the stand alone app, and while I would be interested in some of the cloud features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketch is lightweight compared to other design tools, and it feels very smooth for UI design. I like the clean interface and how easy it is to create reusable components. The plugin ecosystem is also a big plus — there’s almost always a plugin for whatever workflow I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s only available for macOS, which makes it harder to collaborate with teammates on Windows. Also, collaboration features have improved but still aren’t as seamless as some cloud-first tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn’t try to be everything at once and it does that extremely well. The interface is clean and distraction-free, which helps you think clearly while designing. Sketch’s symbols, shared styles, and libraries make it easy to build and maintain consistent design systems, especially on large or long-term projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest drawback is the lack of seamless real-time collaboration. Compared to tools like Figma, working simultaneously with teammates doesn’t feel as natural or frictionless, which can slow down fast-moving or remote teams.

Another limitation is that Sketch is macOS-only, which immediately excludes Windows users and creates constraints in mixed-platform teams. This can be a dealbreaker in many organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating a design system in Sketch is a great experience. The tools provided make it easy to organize components and maintain consistency throughout the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The design system doesn't offer many advanced options for variables. I found its capabilities in this area to be somewhat limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to use Sketch and how intuitive it is. I also value the movement and editing features. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
