Perfect for designing and high-fidelity prototyping

Overall Satisfaction with Figma

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to store designs from recent times. It has wide functionality and allows a lot of team members to collaborate their work towards the same design easily.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Tools for design creation
Version history
Share design

Cons

Inconvenient to export separate screen
No option to import files from Zeplin and we have to do it manually
Quite long time of loading the data when file opened

Return on Investment

I cannot estimate it in exact numbers, but it looks like on distance we will save time of team members involved in design.

Usability

In the beginning, it's hard to find what you need. There are a lot of menus and controls, sometimes multi-layer. But mainly it's ok, after you spend some time with it, it's not that hard

Alternatives Considered

Zeplin and Axure RP

Figma has more features than Zeplin or Axure. Unlike Zeplin it allows to create and share dynamic prototypes. Unlike Axure it gives tools to create detailed designs.

Figma is great for:
-collaborative UX/UI design (multiple designers can work simultaneously on the same project);
-creating prototypes and design systems;
-build interactive prototypes with transitions and animations, eliminating the need for additional prototyping software (e.g. Axure);
-share prototype links and collect the feedback.
