Now that I have been using Axure for 2+ years, I don't think I'll ever go back to Sketch. Axure saves me time while allowing me to communicate design concepts and information architecture. Pros One of the best things about Axure is that you can write text within elements. In comparison, in Sketch, you need to add an additional text element. For low-mid fidelity wireframes, Axure is way more efficient than Sketch. The second best thing is how well balanced the features are- everything is there in one place. You got your creation covered (complex interactions included), you got the generation of a share link without needing to export the screens to another app, you can also collect feedback via the discussion panel. Widgets are customizable, there's plenty of user help available on the web regarding how to do various things... Axure is great for rapid prototyping. Cons Collaboration features are mostly non-existent, but that can be solved by storing the .rp file in a cloud, such as Google Drive Stream. I wish the widget names would save when pressing 'enter' on the keyboard instead of clicking out of the field, but that is a minor issue. In Sketch, I do still prefer the way they use symbols, in Axure the masters vs panels seem to be a bit convoluted. Switched from [Sketch](https://www.capterra.com/p/171364/Sketch/) At first, because my employer argued that Axure is better than Sketch. But after trying Axure and seeing what it can do, I didn't need any more convincing. Review Source Justin W. UX Product Lead Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Software for UX Work" July 19, 2019 5.0 Axure allows us to quickly and easily put together high fidelity prototypes to share within internal and external stakeholders. The functionality is powerful enough that our prototypes often get mistaken for full working builds of software. Pros \- Extremely powerful prototyping toolset - All the "fit and finish" features you need from Illustrator or Sketch Cons \- Team and cloud functionality needs more features - Documentation and customer support isn't always helpful Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Limited prototyping features in the Adobe Creative Suite Review Source Christian K. CEO & Founder Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I wouldn't buy it again" December 12, 2018 3.0 I used Axure several times, once for a smartwatch-project, the other times for smartphone app-projects. Then I switched to InVision. Why? Because it was painful to handle Axure. I don't like it and it feels like the developers didn't like what they do. And here's the problem. I want to love creating prototypes and I want to love the prototypes. But I can't love it all using Axure. Pros You can create good prototypes for many different devices with Axure and it will do as it should with routing, sound and functions. Through some lines of code it will offer you more if you like and if you find it. Cons The user interface is not the strength of Axure and the prototypes you get don't look good. Yes, it's a prototype, but a good look - somehow - or a good feeling would support to carry over what you want to create. Instead you get something that looks like it stands on legs made of wooden sticks. Crafting the prototypes isn't feeling fine and you can waste a lot of time because it doesn't feel natural.

" November 13, 2021 5.0 Overall this was a pleasure to use and refreshing to allow people to use what apps they like but still be able to collaborate and not have a mess trying to keep everything together. Pros A big plus for Axure is the plugins and interactions available for a larger number of other apps. This is great for teams who have people using more different UX apps and work best in one and not the other, but this brings everyone's work together easily. Cons Depending on your needs and how many people need access, the price can get steep quickly and may be a detractor for some people but it does carry a lot of value for the money. Reason for choosing Axure Still in the process of testing products and this was high on the list. Switched from [Adobe XD](https://www.capterra.com/p/168423/Adobe-XD/) Trying out different options to see what works best for our needs. Review Source jason E. Internet Maketer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Axure review 2022" July 28, 2022 5.0 Nice tool for creating responsive apps and is very easy to use, suitable for medium and large enterprises. Highly recommend it Pros Best tool for creative wireframes which supports many integrations like Jira & Slack. Axure is pretty much better for prototyping which enormously helps to save time and enhances workflow with quality results. It's easy to work with and provides a responsive drag & drop editing experience. The tool is very beginner-friendly with a good customer support service. Cons Pricing plans are too high. This doesn't always favor everyone especially individuals with low budgets. I'm wondering why it's only available in English? Does it mean, French users or any other user can't work with it? I look at it as a #1 handicap. developers should look back to it. Review Source Javier A. Senior UX Designer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool loosing its market" April 10, 2020 4.0 Honestly, it is a great tool of its purpose. Pros It is by far the best tool to create hi-fi interactive prototypes. No other tool comes close to its features to create interactive behaviors. These prototypes are so good they can be used for intensive user testing, as users are not able to tell them apart from real apps or websites. I can mock with Axure in a couple of weeks what would take a dev team months to code and deploy. And that can save huge amounts of development costs. Cons Learning to use Axure is complicated. Mostly because of the ton of options, and partly because it is difficult to discover how the internal mechanics operate. But the biggest con is that when I look into the UX design job market, practically there are no positions requesting knowledge of Axure. Everything is Sketch or Figma, that while great to create UI mockups are no rivals of Axure when creating interactive prototypes. However Axure has lost totally its market appeal. Probably Axure should have bought Sketch or Figma when it realized it was going to be overwhelm by these tools in the UI authoring arena. Also unlike Sketch, Axure does not have a 3rd party plugin market. And this closedness has reduced further more its utility. Review Source Austin M. Software Analyst Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Axure, one of the best prototype softwares out there" October 2, 2023 5.0 We're doing software prototypes and sharing it with developers & end users, to show new functionalities or modifications that we need to do to our own software. Pros I think the most impactful thing about Axure for us was the prototyping and the EASE to share & collab with another project members, doing a real time collab and working perfectly when we needed to show our work. Cons I think some features could be revised, like the connectors and their hotkeys, a really good tutorial for using hotkeys could be really good as well, since you need to memorize a lot and if you don't use it every day the combinations can be easy to forget.

UX Designer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the strongest tool for dynamic prototyping " April 23, 2019 5.0 One tool for all your prototyping​ need, be it animation or a simple drop down. Pros These days you have dozens of tools available for prototyping but none of them are as strong as Axure, the usp here is dynamism. Whilst most of the prototyping tool lets you work with static screen, Axure allow you to make it dynamic without writing a single line of code. You can build a complete design system in Axure which is a​ one-time​ investment​ but goes a ​long way in saving time. Cons No mobile support yet, considering the complexity and logic it lets you handle not sure how possible is the ​mobile version. Review Source Joi W. Senior JavaScript Engineer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great interactive prototyping tool for developers or designers with graphic design software exp." December 22, 2017 5.0 Pros I love that you can make FUNCTIONAL prototypes with this software! Being able to present a "working prototype" is a huge benefit of this tool. With the use of "behaviors" and "widgets", you can ensure that the stakeholders get a interactive demo BEFORE you start development! I also love the fact that you can have "pages" that when published can mimic a real working website. The publisher feature of Axure allows you to share prototypes with clients or stakeholders and get feedback from an unique URL. There are so many pre-made widgets out there as well that can be imported for use right in the prototype, making it truly adaptable to development frameworks, like Google Material Design. Cons It was easy for me to get up and running using this software given my background and experience with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I think without some background in those applications, this software may have a learning curve. Also, it may have limitations when compared with web-based versions when it comes to portability of your source files. The constant updates can be annoying to keep track of, as I often end up with multiple installations instead of a true upgrade, but that could be user error or lack of knowledge of proper Axure updating on my end.

May 1, 2018 5.0 I'm able to visualize my ideas to my team. It's a crucial step in our design process. Pros I love that you can create high fidelity wires with full interactions. I'm capable of creating something that's fully interactive and looks like a complete website without ever having to write a line of code. It really helps me speak to my designs. Cons I wish there was a spec sheet to hand off to developers. Often when I hand over my wires, they have to replicate what I've created just by sight. Review Source DB Dj B. UX Designer Industrial Automation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good Prototyping Software" April 18, 2023 4.0 Pros The advance features of prototyping, especially using variables Cons The collaboration aspect. Takes too long to update to the latest version that the entire team can view. Review Source PK Parth K. Web Developer Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Axure is excellent powerful tool for prototyping and visualisation" February 8, 2023 4.0 Pros Axure makes it very easy to generate functional specs for prototypes by automating a specs template. The most powerful and user-friendly wireframing tool. Using easy drag-and-drop choices, one may quickly create high-fidelity prototypes. I also enjoy making my mockups as basic or sophisticated as required. It's an incredible, fantastic tool for testing and development. I've used most prototype options available, such as Sketch, Adobe XD, Invision, and others, and none of them has the capabilities that Axure does. Cons Its visual design qualities might benefit from further development and cooperation. For example, we're utilising Figma to build our visual design library because there are a few things we can't do visually in Axure. At times, the interface may be sluggish and unresponsive. Other programmes, such as iRise, may provide a more development-like environment for creating more complicated prototypes. Review Source EB Ekaterina B. Executive director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best prototyping tool" February 21, 2019 5.0 I am a heavy user of this program. Axure helps to create prototypes of the websites before the web development step. It helps me to discuss and to arrange all the details with the client before web development stage. Pros It is one of my favorite tools. As a web developer, I need a tool to prototype future websites. I have been choosing among different solutions, but finally stick with Axure, because IMHO it has the best interface and the widest set of opportunities to implement actions. Especially its work with dynamic panels and its ability to implement animation. Cons Works slowly with large files, freezes often, the back-ups aren't 100% accurate sometimes.

Best wireframe scribbling, easy and very complex prototyping. Amazing for client workshops! Pros How easy it is to scribble with down in a few seconds AND how perfectly the prototypes work: have never seen such complexity in any other prototyping tool Cons Might be the image axure has: since it is very old. And the Tutorials - would be lovely to have good video's instead of mere text.

June 8, 2018 5.0 Pros Axure RP is a tremendous program compatible with popular operating systems, creating designs where is easy, the program comes with functions that are ready for use. Cons one of the major con is its price, but you have to know that the good news is expensive and this tool is worth it for its versatility.

Cons Complexity, learning curve is more, there are tool many features and they are dependent with each other. Suggestion to the team - would be great you will give user manual as well. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior UX Designer Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the best options for building complex, working prototypes" July 20, 2019 4.0 When I need prototypes with fully interactive forms, Axure is the only option I have aside from coding the prototype myself - and it’s much faster to use Axure than to code it. Pros Axure lets you create prototypes with features I can’t get when prototyping with other tools. I can add forms and fully interactive experiences that are exported as a live website. It’s a lot more robust and feature-rich than InVision’s prototyping. Cons It’s got a bit of a learning curve and the user experience isn’t as elegant as other design software like Sketch Review Source Lukas G.

Pros \-Lots of features to handle prototypes. -User friendly. -Can generates a HTML prototype. -Great for UX's and UI's. Cons \-Can take some time to master all the features. -Could be really hard to prototype a mobile APP. -If the prototype has a lot of elements the presentation could flicker. Review Source Jose V. Support Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Axure RP" September 25, 2018 5.0 I think it is a very complete tool, designed to design wireframes and basic or advanced prototypes easily and has a wide range of widgets with which you can easily and quickly design interfaces for websites or mobile applications. Pros It is very easy to start working with Axure, the tool is very intuitive and we can start producing almost immediately without needing to follow a manual, although if you are new to this sowtware I would highly recommend reading manuals or at least watch some videos on the internet Cons Considering all of the available softwares and the cost / benefit, I believe that Axure its a bit pricy, at the end if you get to use all of the features it might be worth it.

I designed complex wire frames and prototypes for my client. Pros I like the most about this software is prototyping. We can easily link the pages with each other.
