About Figma
Figma is a cloud-based UI designing and prototyping tool, which allows multiple teams to collaborate on creating, testing, and deploying interface or product designs. Features include version history, project management, commenting, user-based permissions, plugin creation, and single sign-on (SSO).
The platform enables designers to prepare drawings using vector networks, pen, and arc tools, letting them develop pie charts, watch screens, or clocks without merging or connecting to the path’s origin. With the auto-layout feature, teams can automatically resize various components of interface designs such as buttons or lists by using padding, direction, and space settings. Figma allows users to create prototypes through various interactions such as hover, on-click, or button press, and utilize GIFs to add video elements, or animations. It also helps teams to simultaneously edit designs, track changes, add notes, discover newly uploaded files, and share design links with members.
Figma offers integration with multiple third-party applications including Maze, Zeplin, Trello, Flinto, Slack, Dropbox, and Jira. Designers can maintain a library of shareable assets such as icons, backgrounds, images, and fonts and gain visibility into the asset usage through analytics. The platform also lets coordinators send invites to remote stakeholders for a brainstorming session and capture, categorize, and prioritize ideas according to projects.

We were previously using a combination of Sketch, Zeplin and Invision - Figma is all three in one, and more. If you need a tool capable of creating anything from advanced and scalable design systems to facilitating whiteboarding sessions, Figma is the obvious choice.
Pros
Powerful but intuitive to use
Aligned with code development process - easy for developers to reference, comment and lift assets as well as code snippets
Always evolving
Advanced design system management is easy with Figma
Cons
It's hard to find any negatives. The presentation of prototypes could have more options for screen size - sometimes you want to zoom out and it's hard to do so since there are present display options
Reasons for Choosing Figma
Sketch enabled us to create interface designs but not present our work or effectively hand-off or collaborate with developers. Zeplin helped us hand-off to developers but not create, collaborate, or present. Invision helped us present but wasn't amazing at handing-off to developers and there was no ability to create. Figma did all in one.Reasons for Switching to Figma
Figma was more closely aligned with how we code products and allows us to create, collaborate, prototype, test and present all in one cost effective package.- Industry: Information Technology & Services

Great tool for beginners and proffessionals
Reviewed on 7/9/2023
Pros
Real time collaborative working feature is really handy and helpful in completing projects on time.It is cloud based platform which makes it easy for designers to work seamlessly from any device and from anywhere with out the hassle of installing the software. Beginner user's do not have to break a sweat because of it's user friendly interface and tools which are easy to learn. The new dev mode feature looks promising as user can prototype and view the progress side by side, also developers can find many plugins which converts the desgin into code.
Cons
Since the figma has gone into subscription model, this might be expensive and out of reach for small teams and individuals. Being a cloud based platform, it is rather challenging to work offline and also is frustrating when you have poor internet connectivity. Figma lacks advanced image editing options like in adobe software, as being a vector based design tool it is a minus point for it.

Its power and weakness is being web-based

Pretty good so far, unless I get to work on huge files.
Pretty good so far, unless I get to work on huge files.
Pros
Iterates upon Sketch and bring is great collaboration tools and finally fixes the way too long problem of sharing design files and syncing document versions.
Cons
It consumes a lot of resources, in a big design document it does crash or slows down the whole system which can be quite painful at times.

Figma helps us with handling creative design tasks which is a paramount factor in our business.
Pros
Figma is great for building, crafting, designing & redesigning unique prototypes either for computer software or web applications. It supports both wireframing & prototyping. We do many things with it---anything from website templates to animation processes.It's not a friendly tool but ideal for web-based projects. The online editor is highly responsive and there are plenty of awesome colors and fonts. It's the designer's first choice.
Cons
The interface isn't friendly and can sometimes be pretty hard to work with, especially for novices.

Figma has simplified my work when prototyping and testing different application flows as well as designing the entire application interface with rich details. I would definitely recommend it.
Pros
The best feature of Figma has to be how simple it makes to evolve a raw wireframe into a full experience with transitions and animations. It's a great tool to be used across the whole life cycle of a project and great for evolving it collaboratively and in an organized way.
Cons
I think the Starter (free) tier could be a bit more comprehensive to fully showcase to newcomers the areas where the software really shines.
