AI Proposal Intern Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Flexible design and prototyping platform for collaborative projects" September 21, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Figma has been positive. The Features provide a flexible environment for creating and organizing digital designs, while Prototyping makes it useful for demonstrating interactive workflows before development. Navigation is generally straightforward, and Customization and Templates provide useful flexibility for different design requirements. Security and access controls are also important when working with shared design files. Although more advanced functionality can have a learning curve, I find Figma practical for design and prototyping work and believe it provides good Value for Money. Pros Figma is easy to use and provides a flexible environment for creating and organizing digital designs. The Features support different stages of the design process, while Prototyping is particularly useful for creating interactive mockups and demonstrating how a design will work. Navigation is generally straightforward, making it easy to move between files, pages, and design elements. The Customization and Templates options also provide flexibility when starting new projects or adapting designs to different requirements. Cons Some advanced design and prototyping features can take time to learn, particularly for users who are new to collaborative design tools. Large projects with many files, pages, and design elements can also make Navigation more difficult. I have occasionally encountered minor usability issues when working with more complex designs. Security is important when sharing design files, so permissions and access settings need to be managed carefully. I have limited direct experience with Customer Support, so I cannot strongly evaluate that aspect. Review Source Nicolò S. Web developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A modern, powerful, and essential design tool" January 9, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Figma has been very positive. It’s a reliable, mature, and constantly evolving tool that I use successfully for both small and complex projects. It greatly improves collaboration between designers and developers and helps keep workflows efficient and well organized. Pros Figma is extremely intuitive and fast to use. Compared to Adobe XD, it feels much more advanced, especially in terms of real-time collaboration, component management, and design systems. Being cloud-based makes teamwork seamless. I’m also very happy to see AI features being introduced, which make the tool even more powerful and future-oriented. Cons The main drawback is the cost of granting access to temporary external collaborators. If they don’t already have a license, it can be expensive to add them just for a short period. Automatic renewals can also be a downside, as it’s easy to forget to remove or downgrade a license once the collaboration ends. Switched from [Adobe XD](https://www.capterra.com/p/168423/Adobe-XD/) Adobe stopped actively developing XD, and it became obsolete in a very short time. Figma felt more modern, faster, and clearly moving forward, so switching was an easy decision. Review Source MB Mat B. Senior Engineer E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An Incredibly Powerful Design Tool for both Designers and Engineers" September 16, 2026 5.0 As an engineer, I use Figma primarily for review and implementation. I find it useful for reviewing the details of design, however I feel the lack of integration with frontend utilities is an issue, making it difficult to maintain our design system. Product designers have created designs, engineering has translated those designs into a design system for frontend development. There is a gap between design and handoff. Pros Figma makes reviewing, collaborating and implementing designs extremely easy. As a design tool, it seems very easy to use. Cons I wish there was a way to integrate it with Tailwind and our Tailwind configs. This is an industry-wide utility used for frontend development. I wish there was a way to integrate Figma with our custom component library, even third party component libraries for front end development, so that designers can work with what the engineering team has built. This would help sync designs to the design system. Review Source KB Katie B. BA Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Figma review" April 14, 2026 3.0 Figma does what we need it is great to have our designs in one place to ensure consistency accross the areas we work with , the develeopers of the app we are creating use these designs to work on the front end developement so a very im portant tool for our business Pros We utiise this for Ux designingfor a new app that we are creating , to allow us to collabrate accross the various developement teams to ensure we have a source of truth and we can update and ensure that these have version control Cons I do find it quite tricky to navigate around and it can be very slow at times and also loses connection Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best collaborative design tool I've ever used" August 12, 2026 5.0 I've been using Figma every day for several years, and I can't imagine my workflow without it. It's become much more than a design tool.... it's where ideas are explored, products are defined, prototypes are tested, presentations are created, and teams collaborate. I would recommend it to any product designer, UX/UI designer, or team building digital products. Pros Figma completely changed the way I design digital products. Its real-time collaboration is unmatched, making it easy to work with teammates and clients without worrying about version control. I use it for everything, from wireframes and high-fidelity UI design to interactive prototypes and presentations. Features like Auto Layout, Variables, Components, and Dev Mode have significantly improved both my workflow and handoff to developers. It's also incredibly fast, intuitive, and constantly evolving with meaningful new features. Cons Defineteley, the pricing model. It's very difficult to understand how it works, and they also changed the plans many times, so this is a real pain I have and I would love they could do something to solve it. Also, as Figma keeps adding more capabilities, it has become more complex for new users. Some advanced features have a learning curve, and very large files can occasionally impact performance. Switched from [Adobe XD](https://www.capterra.com/p/168423/Adobe-XD/)[Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/)[Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) They have nothing to do comparing with Figma in comparison.

Email Marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Game changer for UI-UX collaboration" January 7, 2026 4.0 Overall my experience with Figma has been very good. I use it together with my designers and it makes collaboration much easier. We only use the free version and honestly we’ve never needed to contact support, which is actually a good sign. It’s a solid tool for UX/UI design and much more practical than older tools like Photoshop. Pros I really like how easy Figma is to use with my designers. The UX is very clean and intuitive, so you don’t need a lot of time to learn it. It’s much more flexible than Photoshop, especially for UI and UX work. Real-time collaboration is a big plus, and even the free version is more than enough for our daily work Cons Sometimes it can feel a bit heavy when files get very big, and performance can slow down. Also, some advanced features are locked behind the paid plans (Only 3 free pages), but for most basic and medium projects the free version is still okay. Switched from [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/) I switched from Miro because Figma keeps my whole workflow in one place. And it’s easier to collaborate with designers and clients in the same file Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead UI-UX Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Figma / Pros & Cons" December 27, 2025 5.0 Pros The best part about Figma is the cross platform possibility which Adobe XD could not provide. The new AI integrations also serve a huge purpose making figma a peak creative platform. Also their customer support is one of the best in the field. Cons In overall, Figma is one of the best Designing tools. But the limitations of plugins and their paid usage is a downside I've noticed in figma. It also has minimal possibility for animations but it covers up the flaw through its AI and prototyping with smooth navigation. Switched from [Adobe XD](https://www.capterra.com/p/168423/Adobe-XD/) Easy access through all devices because of the Cross Platform feature and the advanced Prototyping. Review Source Sean N. LX and Technology Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Flagship Platform for Prototyping and Mapping" December 20, 2025 5.0 It's a great tool for prototyping UX design, whiteboarding for processes and concept mapping, and collaborating with teams. Pros I love how robust the features are as well as the various levels of user management for how deep you want to go into using it. Cons It can be difficult to learn if you're new to more advanced tools like prototyping. The collaborative features also can work pretty slowly and lag. Switched from [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/)[Lucidchart](https://www.capterra.com/p/146136/Lucidchart/) Figma is more robust and can be used for much greater range of features Review Source EP Elena P. Digital Strategy Senior Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to learn, great for teamwork, and constantly improving" September 25, 2026 5.0 Figma has become essential for our design workflow since it's easy to learn, great for teamwork, and constantly improving with useful new features Pros Intuitive interface, real-time collaboration, and seamless handoff to developers. Prototyping feels fast and design systems stay consistent across teams Cons Performance can lag on complex files, and offline access is limited compared to desktop-native tools. Review Source NR Neha R. Engineering Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "FIGMA Designing " September 3, 2026 4.0 Pros Prototyping, ensure real time collaboration and interactive prototypes. Intuitive interface makes it excellent for designing. Navigation is easy. Value for money Cons Offline functionality is limited, sometimes performance lags are seen when working on large design files Review Source RH Ryan H. Creative Manager Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Figma review - March 30, 2025" March 30, 2025 5.0 I love Figma. I use it every day. There are still some little bugs to be worked out, but it's preferable to a program like Photoshop for designers in many ways. Pros I love how easy it is to export entire projects. I can make an entire document in figma, order it the way I want it, and export it right then and there as a PDF. I also like how much easier it is to organize than something like Photoshop. I don't have to worry about organizing my desktop files. It's all right there in Figma. It has become my top-used desktop app. Cons The free version is pretty restrictive. I would like to see more pages and files allowed for people who don't want to pay. It can also be difficult to open shared files. Links automatically open in the browser, and unless you delete your cache and/or cookies, it won't load. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) I still use Photoshop, but Figma has become my primary editor because it's much easier to manage files and brainstorm in Figma.

Senior Product Designer II Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Must use UX software for designers" May 5, 2025 5.0 Pros Auto layout is a game changer when you learn how to use it. Cons The options for text editing is pretty limited. Switched from [Sketch](https://www.capterra.com/p/171364/Sketch/) My new company was using it. Better collaboration tools. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer QA Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " Best Friend for Design Validation" April 23, 2026 5.0 As a QA standpoint, Figma has genuinely improved my testing workflow. Having a single source of truth for design means fewer back-and-forth conversations with the design team. I use it regularly to cross-check UI elements, validate user flows, and identify inconsistencies between the design and the developed product. However, I do wish it had more QA-friendly features like annotation tracking or change diff views. Overall, it's a solid tool that makes cross-functional collaboration much smoother Pros I like most about Figma is how easy it makes the handoff process between designers and testers. I can directly inspect design elements — spacing, fonts, colours, dimensions — without having to ask the designer every time. The prototyping and flow features are especially useful for me to understand the intended user journey before writing test cases. It gives me a clear reference point to validate the actual product against the expected design. Good in security that without access you can view the design. Cons My biggest frustration is the lack of proper version history visibility for QA purposes. When a design gets updated mid-sprint, there's no strong notification system to alert testers about what exactly changed. I've missed design changes that directly impacted my test cases because of this. Also, comparing two versions of a design side by side isn't as smooth as it should be, which makes regression checks on UI designs a bit tedious.

" March 26, 2026 5.0 The overall experience has been really good. It's affordable to get started. The user experience is easy for collaboration and building product prototypes Pros Figma is a great design tool that helps him collaborate with both engineering, design, and product teams.

It is my go to for designing and prototyping websites. It makes communicating and collaborating with dev team easy. The software keeps improving over the years and now has better features for vector illustrations as well as faster prototyping with figma make. Cons The new feature, figma make, is fun to tinker around with. I think it has room for improvement on the generated designs, but it gives an excellent starting point, making my workflow faster.

It's very easy how you can share the design with other team members. Cons Pricing is a bit high and it's a thing I don't like. It would be good to have more features in the free tier.

Product Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The ideal prototyping tool for UI edits" October 24, 2025 4.0 Very positive, I will continue to use this tool and learn how to leverage all tools. I think some more tutorial material in platform to leverage complex features would be helpful. Pros Very intuitive prototyping tool! Highly encourage product managers to use the HTML to design google extension to capture other UIs to edit.

UIX Designer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Robust creative flow" February 3, 2026 5.0 Overall I like it. Especially for creatives who are trying to think as a user when designing apps or web interface types of tech. Pros I like that this is an excellent tool for the early design stages of anything UIX related. It allows for simple communication and hands-on editing by a team. Cons My least favorite thing is that there is a bit of learning curve. I did watch quite a few Youtube videos on the layout and tools to overcome the learning curve though.

Sr. Marketing Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Figma is like a more collaborative Adobe CC" July 22, 2025 5.0 I've been working with Figma for over three years now. I've used it when working in product design and development, creating graphics to insert into videos, and creating graphics for events and social posts. Once I got the hang of it, it's an essential tool for me in my marketing role. Pros I like how Figma allows you to create very repeatable canvases for creating branded assets. I use Figma to regularly create video graphics and thumbnails, and I can ensure uniformity and quick replication. Cons Not really a dislike, but as a long-time Adobe user, there was certainly a learning curve when transitioning into Figma. The tools are in different places, the methods to select and edit components are different, and the layers act somewhat differently. Review Source DM Dennis M.

It's much more easy to get started with compare to Xd. Cons Some features are missing like vectorize so we still need Illustrator sometimes.
