Love Figma!

Overall Satisfaction with Figma

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Figma daily. we have several use cases that we use it for. One is to design web page component prototypes to present to stakeholders. The other is to review other designer's design wireframes and protypes and provide feedback within Figma. Another use case I use it a lot for is to play around with ideas, whether it be to help me organize my thoughts, or come up with quick visuals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

easy to use and navigate
uses similar patterns as Adobe which helps a lot for people who are transitioning from those platforms.
there are a lot of helpful resources to help me solve things im stuck on.

Cons

If there was a Loom integration, or a way in which i could record both my screen and face at the same time to explain certain concepts to my collegues, that would be really nice
The main area where you can see your team folder, personal folder, and the rest of the organizations teams could use a bit of simplification
when it comes to sharing libraries, there is some laguange that could help make the sharing process easier to understand.

Return on Investment

it has sped up our turn around time quite a bit
we have been able to organize our design system where others in the organization can get what they need with more ease.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe XD and Balsamiq

no comparison.

Likelihood to Recommend

Figma is by far the best in class of its kind. Once you begin designing and understanding how to use it and how powerful it can be, its quite easy to use. There are tons of resources within Figma where you can see both videos explaining how to do things, or read an article about it instead. Although the learning curve isn't extremely steep, the fact that there are so many educational resources on how to do things within the platform makes it all very easy to navigate and learn.
