"All-in-one tool for UI/UX development"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe XD?

1. Adobe Xd has been proved one of the best tools I've ever user for UI/UX needs, earlier i used Photoshop or illustrator for the same thing i can now use xd and do it in half the time.

2. The feature i like the most about adobe xd is prototyping your designs and making a live interaction of your overall UI design which makes it easier for us and for clients to understand the overall flow in the design and if there are any flaws we can easily fix it.

3. It also has a feature of updating the existing prototype link with revised UI which makes easier for us/clients to use the same link multiple times and no hassle to find latest link in a plethora of old links, that is why i like this feature a lot.

4. Xd also has a feature called duplicating grid which makes it easier where same pattern or elements are used and you want to duplicate all the characteristics of element with element itself, this feature removes the hassle of duplicating individual element numeral times.

5. Adobe xd has enabled us to add 3rd party plugins which makes it easier to import different features from different creators which makes user to achieve their creativity with all ease.

6. You can also experience live preview of your designs on your apple iphones, this feature is only limited to IOS devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

1. Adobe xd is currently free for limited usage with only 1 link that you can share for prototype test and i think it should be extended to at least 2-3 links as purchasing its business version is too costly.

2. Adobe Xd only has option for live previewing in an Iphone, it doesn't have this feature for android and i think adobe should target this feature for android as majority of users still uses android.

3. Sometimes using heavy vectors can cause adobe xd to crash, which is very frustrating.

4. Animations/Auto-animations are still in progress and still need a lot of work needed to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Design, Limited for Teams"

5/5

What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I appreciate how Adobe XD blends a straightforward interface with robust design capabilities. The software is lightweight, quick, and easy to use, making it ideal for building wireframes, prototypes, and UI designs without any extra complications. The Repeat Grid feature is especially helpful, saving a lot of time when working on lists or galleries. Additionally, the auto-animate transitions add a smooth, realistic feel to interactive prototypes. I also value its seamless integration with other Adobe apps such as Photoshop and Illustrator, which helps keep all my creative work within a single ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

While Adobe XD offers a strong platform for UI/UX design, it still misses some advanced features that are available in tools like Figma. Real-time collaboration does not feel as seamless, and sharing projects with a team can sometimes be restrictive. Updates tend to roll out slowly, and I have encountered issues with certain plug-ins or integrations being buggy or unreliable. Additionally, managing design systems and components across several projects often feels more complex than necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adobe XD streamlines the entire UI/UX design process, covering everything from wireframing to prototyping within a single platform. It saves me time by enabling the design, linking, and testing of user flows all in one place, eliminating the need to switch between multiple programs. The interactive prototypes are especially helpful for clearly communicating ideas to clients and developers, which helps minimize misunderstandings during handoff. Additionally, its clean interface and seamless integration with other Adobe tools make the workflow smoother and more efficient, particularly when working with visual assets from Photoshop or Illustrator.

"Lightweight and Efficient, But Lacking Updates"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I like that Adobe XD helps me get the job done faster with its no-nonsense interface. It's light, fast, and minimal, which is great compared to other Adobe products. I appreciate that it is specifically designed for UI tasks without all the frills of Photoshop and Illustrator. The learning curve is super smooth and feels familiar, making it easy to adapt to, although the prototyping and interaction features took some time to master. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

It's sad that it no longer gets the updates and support. It can be a much better UI tool because of its size and to-the-point interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Abandoned Potential, Switch to Figma Recommended"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I really like how with Adobe XD, I can design multiple screens for a mobile app and share prototypes that a client can interact with. It was really nice to have an Adobe product that was easy to design web experiences. It saves a lot of time and integrates pretty well with any other Adobe program. The initial setup was also easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

It seems like they've abandoned the product, and it's not being updated as frequently as competitor programs like Figma. I've started using Figma a lot more because Adobe XD is lacking in a lot of areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a graphic designer, product designer, it is the best tool ever made.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

What I dislike about it is that price is the big factor, pricing isnt good for remote workers ,

2. The tools are super heavy and eats up ram and processor too much, so for mid end devices it is very difficult to work with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"very good to use"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Adobe XD is fast, lightweight, and great for both design and prototyping in one place. I especially love the Repeat Grid and Auto-Animate features—they save time and make designs feel polished. Sharing prototypes is easy, though real-time collaboration isn’t as strong as Figma. Overall, a solid tool for UI/UX work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast design and immediate feedback, my experience with Adobe XD"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I like that its interface responds quickly and fluidly and this allows the creative process to flow without friction. The tools for creating vector graphics are very precise when creating design elements that need to adapt to different screen sizes and devices. In addition, Adobe XD allows me to simulate real navigation and interaction with an interface in minutes and my team can add feedback in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

I understand that Adobe XD prioritizes simplicity and performance, but I feel it lacks some features in advanced animation that could make the experience more complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adobe XD has transformed how I approach designing and conceptualizing user-centric interfaces that conform to modern UX design standards. With Adobe XD it's easy to design a web portal and present a navigable prototype to facilitate consensus between departments rather than relying solely on static schematics or unclear presentations.
