### "Great software for large and very robust projects, does take more time than XD"

February 19, 2021

5.0

I like it but I'm moving my team away from using it. We are going to figure out a solution to the symbols issue in XD as overall, XD is a lot quicker to use and to build responsive on. I like sketch but it's just so 'clunky' and in an agency speed and time is important.

Pros

I like the use of symbols. This is crucial to being able to send out successfully to development and makes development time shorter. I like that there are multiple pages that can be used. Really useful for building out different versions, keeping organised.

Cons

Although the symbols are one of the biggest pluses, they are also one of the core issues. They are 'clunky' and make it difficult to iterate quickly. In some ways, components in XD are better than Sketch (asides from there not being a separate page for them, and no ability to build an atomic structure) as they are more flexible. Often I will need to create 8 versions of the same card to accommodate for different instances (sold out, new, reduced, email me, description, no description, 3 lines of text, 2 lines of text etc...) which is very time consuming. XD allows you to do this well. Creating a symbol also no longer sends to symbol page as default which is annoying. Images are one of the biggest bug bares. Images should be locked to scale with frame non locked, like in XD. This makes building responsive a lot quicker. Also just being able to drop in images rather than having to build components with different images as 5 layers down is a massive time hog. File size is an issue. Very laggy and causes my Mac to crash often.

### "Secure platform for designers."

November 23, 2025

5.0

Good. Still used in banks, cybersecurity and government related fields. Has had a bit of a come back recently.

Pros

Easy to use, very secure with solid version control. Definitely better if you are working in a secure environment.

Cons

Can get a bit bloated after a while. Collaboration tools rely on 3rd party plugins. Not as ubiquitous.

### "Sketch Enterprise-Grade Security "

July 7, 2026

5.0

Overall, it provides a highly localized, secure, and lightning-fast desktop experience. It is actually the best platform I have ever used.

Pros

I like the enterprise grade security because files can be stored locally rather than strictly on a third-party cloud.

Cons

It lacks basic image handling by that I mean it lacks robust, native raster-image editing but apart from that everything else is fine.

### "A streamlined tool for UX/UI designers. "

May 29, 2025

3.0

Pros

Sketch is a good product design tool to work on visuals and prototypes. Sketch’s minimalistic interface keeps distractions to a minimum, allowing you to focus on your design work.

Cons

Unfortunately with the rise of Figma, many companies have switched design tool providers as collaboration is easier.

### "SKetch is a good software for creating intuitive designs"

June 17, 2026

5.0

Sketch was a good tool to use that would allow for well-done and interesting designs. However, there is definitely room for improvement for this software that would make it more useful overall.

Pros

Sketch is good at making an easy website. It's very easy to use and there is a lot that can be done to ensure that you are creating a intuitive website design.

Cons

Unfortunately, you cannot prototype and share with others, such as developers, when used, as this would be very helpful.

### "Sketch, a complete design platform built for spectacular creations."

April 16, 2023

5.0

Sketch is a mature and very stable tool. It has simple administration facilities to create a collaborative workspace, and its learning curve is low. Its design tools encourage creativity and it has a set of templates that simplify the work to start a new project.In general, it focuses on strengthening the tools for a neat design and providing extensive types of styles, good color management, and a development interface that manages the history of actions very well.

Pros

Sketch has proven to be a very lightweight and easy-to-use program for designers, and we don't need a lot of processing power to run it. On the other hand, its simplicity of use and its ability to be widely interactive, anyone with design knowledge can use Sketch. Additionally, it can be our main platform when we talk about web design, mobile user interface creation, icon design and organizational branding, and almost anything we need.The layout of the tool and its functionalities are mainly focused on offering the best features to present the best web design and prototyping work. Sketch provides us with grids and an interface to keep our work very well structured, as well as options to customize the main screen based on our needs.

Cons

Sketch has a large number of users who have selected it for prototyping, design, and branding. However, its market is aimed at Mac users, so it is possible that some users cannot take advantage of this technology. On the other hand, Sketch can be used to the maximum by designers who specialize in the area of layout, prototyping, and branding, but for users who do not have experience in these areas, its adoption is a little more difficult.

### "Pioneer in UI/UX design tool especially for non-designers or UX designers."

November 4, 2021

4.0

Easy to use, quick to learn, and whether you are a designer or a developer you can get your designs done in Sketch. Sharing your designs and especially its inspect features helps to deal with developer needs. I have mostly used it for app designs and sharing assets to clients and developers.

Pros

I used to design UI/UX in Adobe Photoshop and illustrator and it has all the features you need but it's too overwhelming and not ideal for quick Ui design. Using sketch feels much more polished and has only tools that you'll need for UI/UX design and not other unnecessary tools. It's much more simplified and quick to learn. No wonder Sketch is getting popular in UI/UX design community and its wide acceptance in the industry.

Cons

\- Not for Windows users, that was really a bummer from the start. I can't say it's a con but the sketch is not a tool for vector illustrations and photo editing. Sometimes when you need to edit the images that you are using in your design or illustration, you can't in Sktch. But you need to understand that it's not the purpose. Sketch is for just basic UI/UX or graphic design tools. Another thing is maybe it was great to have some more features like has in Figma and how it has whole third party plugin supports etc. But as I said nothing major or a deal-breaker.

Switched from

[Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/)

Photoshop is not the ideal tool for UI/UX design it's a beast of a tool but for advanced stuff like photo editing and manipulation etc. I need a simple and quick tool that was specially designed to fulfill the needs of UI/UX designers and Sketch was the only big name back then.

### "Prototyping service first used"

April 10, 2023

4.0

I use it to create wireframe design compositions. The excellent compatibility with cloud-sharing tools of Sketch is highlighted because it facilitates communication with engineers. It's also nice that there is a significant synergistic effect with other tools. It automatically generates CSS. We recommend Sketch if you want to keep costs down. I created a simulation of the service and shared an image before implementation.

Pros

Before the introduction, I was doing web design and application design (wire, mock) with other software, but after the release of Sketch, I changed completely. Compared to others, the cost of introduction can be reduced. Anyway, the operation is light and works smoothly.

Cons

People who are used to other programs will get stuck with shortcuts. There are many pretty excellent add-ons, but the administration is complicated

Reason for choosing Sketch

Simple shapes can be created faster than other tools, and you can use the symbol function and different tool sets to advance your design more efficiently.

Switched from

[AutoCAD](https://www.capterra.com/p/265024/AutoCAD/)

The introduction cost is low compared to other tools, so I believe it is relatively easy for first-time users.

### "Accessible, user friendly yet powerful software "

October 8, 2020

4.0

— Powerful yet simple and intuitive software indispensable in my work day as a digital designer.

Pros

— User-friendly and accessible to designers and non-designers. — User guide is comprehensive and digestible. — Version history ("Revert to.. Browse all versions") gives the option to browse, copy, move, and revert to past document versions which has proven to be a huge lifesaver on several occasions. To my knowledge, no other similar programs offer this feature. — Tools you need daily for layout design, none of the ones you don't (no clutter, smoother performance). — Easily sync to Sketch Cloud in two clicks. — Shortcuts are intuitive (R for rectangle, O for oval– unlike competitors ie Adobe: M for rectangle, L for oval) — User Interface is clean and intuitive, easy to navigate and customizable without being overwhelming. — Compatible with outside scripts: spell check, AfterEffects bridge, Palette Library, etc. — $99 one-time payment is fairly accessible, with updates optional.

Cons

— Color management can be pretty abysmal at times. We've run into issues with clients due to colors not matching on export. — Sketch Cloud does not allow comments like competitors do (InVision). This feature is useful when reviewing with clients, internal QA, internal reviews, etc. — Find and replace is not available for text. — Bitmap editing is available but lowers the image quality significantly

### "Great tool for UI/UX design."

February 21, 2025

5.0

Sketch is a powerful vector-based design tool widely used for UI/UX design, particularly among macOS users. I like its rich ecosystem of third-party plugins, extends its functionality for animations, handoff, and collaboration.

Pros

user friendly, can input resources or info into Sketch by one click.

Cons

the layout is outdated, not so trendy and tech-savvy

### "High customization, packed full of features, slow performance"

September 22, 2020

5.0

Despite Sketch's performance issues when saving and sharing projects to other platforms, Sketch is the standard for web design. I enjoy the clean and simple interface Sketch provides as well as the high level of customization available through first and third-party plugins.

Pros

My team and I primarily use Sketch to design and share projects using the Zeplin plugin for Sketch. The best thing about Sketch is the ability to add and customize an infinite number of plugins to tailor your workflow. The transition from Adobe products to Sketch was almost seamless, and the interface just makes sense.

Cons

The rendering and saving time in Sketch is a huge con. It takes at least five minutes to save a project with about 100 pages and then another 15 minutes to upload those designs to Zeplin. Sketch often uses way too much CPU and seizes up while saving.

[Adobe XD](https://www.capterra.com/p/168423/Adobe-XD/)

I switched from Adobe XD to Sketch, because I was switching from Windows to Mac OS and Sketch is exclusive to Mac. It is known as the standard for web design, and the rest of my team was already using Sketch which created issues when sharing projects from Adobe XD to Sketch. I have enjoyed the switch to Sketch because of ease of use.

### "A tiny bit pricey"

November 23, 2024

5.0

I use it for everything – web design, mobile apps, icons, you name it. Before Sketch, I was juggling a bunch of different programs, and it was a real headache. This is way more streamlined and intuitive.

Pros

Absolutely love how easy it is to create and edit vector graphics. The interface is clean and uncluttered, which makes it a joy to use. And the plugins are a lifesaver! They add so much extra functionality.

Cons

Honestly, can't think of anything major. Maybe a tiny bit pricey, but it's worth every penny for the time it saves me.

### "One of the best UI design tools in the market"

March 27, 2021

5.0

Being a UX and visual designer, Sketch has been the primary software on my computer for years now. Loved the product since its initial release and had been an advocate and a supporter mainly due to how it disrupted the UI design software field. I would like Sketch to improve to keep up with their competition since many designers are now moving to Figma just like how everyone moved from Photoshop and Illustrator to Sketch. Still would recommend any designer to go for Sketch.

Pros

Sketch was the revolutionary software that introduced UI/UX and visual designers with a tool created for that specific task which is creating interfaces. The vector graphic software doesn't limit you there; you are able to create posters, logos or even billboards with its intuitive and easy to learn clean interfaces. The toolbars consist of the standard functions and operators which you usually find in such software. The power of Sketch is beyond the limitations of your own imagination I would say. The symbols feature allows you to create reusable visual components which come in handy when designing multiple interfaces of a product or an app. Going a bit further, these features allow designers to create design languages and design systems very easily as well. There are hundreds of plugins that could be used to further ease the workflow. Sketch also integrates with other tools like Invision (prototyping) and Abstract (version control) which allows the creation of an ecosystem for the designer.

Cons

Sketch in recent years has got multiple competitors like AdobeXD and Figma which sometimes make Sketch fall behind the race in terms of features and functionality. Learning from the failures of Sketch, the competitor products always try to provide better value for money while optimising the workflows for the designer. Major updates from Sketch at most instances lately have been extremely buggy which sometimes even took weeks for them to release a patch. Sketch is only available on Mac which also limits the cross-platform support, unlike its competition. If you are designing a product that has multiple artboards (50+), Sketch tends to become laggy and resource-consuming even on the latest i7 Mac with 16GB of RAM.

### "Sketch from a Person who is not techie"

February 1, 2023

5.0

The problems solved by using Sketch are the ability to quickly and easily create user interfaces for mobile and web applications. Sketch provides tools for creating vector graphics, typography, and icons, and provides features like art boards, grids, and rulers for precise layout. Sketch also allows you to collaborate with other designers and developers, and to share and export your designs in a range of formats.The benefits of using Sketch include the ability to create high-quality user interfaces quickly and easily, as well as the ability to collaborate with other designers and developers. Sketch also allows for easy export of designs in a range of formats, making it easy to share and integrate with other applications. Sketch also offers a range of tutorials and resources to help users learn the product, making it easier for new users to get up to speed.

Pros

\-Sketch is an intuitive tool that offers a wide range of features for quick and efficient design work.-It offers a wide range of plugins and integrations, making it easy to customize the design experience for specific projects.-Sketch is easy to learn and use, even for those who are not familiar with design software.-It has a variety of export options, making it easy to share designs with others.

Cons

\-The pricing structure can be somewhat confusing and expensive for some users.-The vector drawing tools can be somewhat limited compared to other design software.-Sketch does not offer a web-based version, which can be inconvenient for those who need to work on the go.Pricing Comparison to other services:-Sketch is generally more expensive than other design software and services, particularly when compared to free or open-source options.-Paid plans for Sketch are more expensive than Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, but offer more features and tools.-Other design software, such as Figma and InVision, offer more affordable pricing plans.

### "Graphic design oriented to the digital world"

May 13, 2022

4.0

Following this logic of order and registration, we create an additional file called "Style" in which we describe all the elements and their possible variations. With this document it is easier for developers to take separate elements and assemble the site. It also helps to maintain consistency in the work of the different members and avoids problems caused by interpretations.

Pros

A great point in favor, was that we use this program from the information architecture, so the compatibility is ideal, the best thing in web design is that it has an automatic grid system that is very easy to handle. The two previous functions facilitate unexpected changes and corrections, since when changing an element is automatically updated throughout the site. The files are very light, they can be exported in PDF, PNG and JPG, even at twice the size, since when working with vectors, there is no danger of pixelation of the elements. Multiple artboards can be used in different sections. This allows you to develop all the templates of a device in one section and thus have your pages divided according to format. Shape elements, such as a rectangle, are used with the same logic as CSS, so when moving to front you can easily copy the styling.

Cons

It exists only for OS X Mac, which means that all the equipment I work with must use this operating system. It is not good for image editing. It has some basic tools, but to define a style you have to use another editing program first. It is not possible to go back one step when modifying a style, you have to go back to the latest version, so it is necessary to constantly save the changes.

### "Sketch used for creating user interfaces,"

May 12, 2023

4.0

Overall, Sketch offers collaborative features that facilitate teamwork and feedback. Designers can share their designs with stakeholders, receive comments and annotations, and collaboratively rework designs. This has allowed us to streamline the design review and feedback process.

Pros

Sketch offers a wide range of design tools and features to create visually appealing, pixel-perfect designs. It includes features such as symbols, tables, layer styles and a powerful inspection panel, making it effective for designing complex user interfaces.

Cons

Limited platform compatibility: Sketch is currently only available for macOS, which means it is not accessible for designers using other operating systems such as Windows or Linux.

I started my design carrer with sketch, I like the fact I paid once and had it all the time in all its power but then the disappearings started to occur and new competitors appear on the horizon so I moved my self to figma, nonetheless sometimes when I don't know how to do smth in figma I go back to sketch, I just know this interface the best

Pros

I like the good old interface that is so universal that was probably adapted by all the other apps like figma, adobe xd

Cons

I don't like the fact that sometimes my design after unexpected turn off, just disappeared. It happened to me several times and I couldin't find the copy in the cloud nor anywhere else. It is very annoying.

It's an amazing software very especially for digital icons creation. Beginners of mobile app creation can start with sketch and will definitely love it. Navigation is and user interface is undoubtedly great

Pros

Its focus is on digital designing. Thanks to its prototyping features that allow me collaborate with other masters of app development especially when I need help. I love most its content creation that do resize automatically. It's an amazing app when choosing a software for app development.

Cons

You won't love it if you want a print design as well as illustration. This software is limited to only holders of Mac machine which is not a good idea to me. There must be a flexibility in its platform.

July 17, 2019

We use Sketch to mock-up web and software interfaces.

Pros

This software is pretty easy to start using and offers a lot of great features for mocking up user interfaces. I love the built in templates for different screen sizes and the UI packs for iOS and Android. Using these starter tools gets your design started quickly with minimal effort.

Cons

I dislike having to subscribe to an annual contract to continue getting updates. Overall the price isn’t terrible, it’s just crappy to feel so left behind if I don’t pay the subscription. I also dislike the new color palette system. It was a lot easier to get to my global colors before. Now it’s like I’m constantly adding them over and over.

### "Best in-class design software for Product designers"

November 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is amazingly easy to get started with Sketch. There is very little learning curve to get started. It is designed for product designers and you can produce your UX/UI work a lot more quickly than using other software, say Illustrator. The keyboard shortcuts are intuitive and easy to remember, ie R for Rectangcle , L for Line. There are also a lot of 3rd party plugins and integration you can use to do pretty much everything. You can check your color contrast, you can build flow diagrams, you name it. What I like the most of Sketch is it's keeping up to date with the modern product design process. The new Sketch 52 redesign is fantastic, offering killer features like shared styles in symbols. This immediately became the way we build design system.

Cons

The only complaint I have with Sketch is the vector tool. It's kinda cumbersome to use compare to Adobe Illustrator. It is hard to do detailed icon or illustration work in Sketch.

### "Great tool for designing interfaces and simple vector art/icons"

December 7, 2019

5.0

Very good experience. I find Sketch to be a very useful and helpful tool in my daily work.

Pros

It's pretty intuitive in terms of how the features work. It does a great job of organizing your work and helping you keep track of your design work. Plus, the ability to push work to other services, such as InVision, make it a great tool for creating apps and needing to work with developers to slice up images and incorporate elements into the final product.

Cons

I wish written content could be handled better within the app. There are some add-ons out there that will pull content into Sketch via a spreadsheet or JSON file but I just wish there was more consideration given to how content works within design.

### "A breath of fresh air (coming from Adobe)"

September 6, 2018

5.0

I use Sketch primarily for developing web design prototypes. I know it's not particularly suited for illustration or print, but it's so pleasant to use, I find myself cheating and using it for those things anyway!

Pros

I bought Sketch when it first came out, and I remember thinking, "Wow. A design app that actually looks visually appealing!" I was used to Adobe products, which are high-quality, but still look like they were developed 10 years ago. Everything in Sketch is well-organized and intuitive—I had no problem jumping in and designing a landing page in a few minutes. I like that it's paired more closely with web development (pinning objects to an edge, responsive sizing, etc), and symbols are a pretty convenient way to make your designs more modular. The icon toolbar is highly useful, as well. I like that you can customize 100% to your needs.

Cons

I wish Sketch would move even closer to web development in the sense of being able to define global padding sizes, grids, etc. I think the organization of Symbols could be improved to accommodate large libraries.

### "It's competent, but I'm not sure what all the hype is about"

April 9, 2019

4.0

Using Sketch is almost second nature, especially for designers who have used Adobe Illustrator, Axure, or Adobe XD. It handles libraries very well, and has a decent import function for EPS and Illustrator assets. But, it doesn't play very well with Adobe's tools. Given that XD can now import Sketch files, the advantage is slowly shifting back to Adobe as the Creative Cloud is platform agnostic and can read Sketch content and share it across users of all platforms. Sketch gets bonus points for making Adobe embrace plug-ins, however.

Pros

After all of the needed plug-ins are installed, the software is decent at creating interactive prototypes and illustrations for designing software. It is incredibly simple to install, as are all Mac products, and offers modest import functionality for other non-native file formats.

Cons

Sketch is still very reliant upon third-party plug-ins to handle (what should be native) tasks well. The fact that Sketch is Mac only makes it very limited in usage in corporations with mixed Mac/PC environments. Since macOS cannot be virtualized on a PC, and there is no PC version, more adoption of Sketch requires capital expenditure requests for Macs. Compared to almost any other tool in this space, which is either web based or multiplatform, I don't understand why Sketch is so trendy.

May 11, 2022

4.0

Pros

Sketch is easy to get started with, and has powerful design tools. The component library implementation is good for supporting a design system. There are a lot of third-party plugins that extend the features of Sketch a lot.

Cons

It is sometimes not that stable, probably due to the great third-party plugin support. Printing of pages and art boards is clumsy and frustrating. Prototyping is primitive at this stage, and the collaboration and commenting tools are not great.

### "Best UI/UX designing tools"

June 17, 2023

5.0

Pros

As per my experience, Sketch is the best, easy to use, and easy to development designing tool. In that software we can easily design the web pages, mobile applications and give perfect pixels icons for use.I liked that software for impress my client using my designing skills.

Cons

First least like point is sketch is only for IOS users, that means android user is unable to use. If i want to work on sketch then i need to purchased a Macbook or IOS system. And i think sketch also need to decrease some pricing.
