Figma Erfahrungen

Umständlich, schlechtes Interface

Kommentare: Könnte eine tolle Software sein. Man müsste das Interface verbessern und übersichtlich gestalten. Die Stabilität ist mäßig.

Vorteile:

Theoretisch gute Vektoren. Könnte gut für Animationen sein. Aber es ist ein Herumgeschiebe, weil, wenn man eine Arbeitsfläche oder ein Frame sperrt, dann die Objekte festhängen. Sehr nervig.

Nachteile:

Das unübersichtliche und oft versteckte Interface. Man kann nicht intuitiv arbeiten uns viele Datenformate, die wichtig sind, kann das figma nicht öffnen oder exportieren.

Gute Software

Vorteile:

Einfach zu bedienen, viele Möglichkeiten, gute Darstellung und Testing von Front End

Nachteile:

Teils etwas unübersichtlich im Funktionsumfang

Gutes Tool zur Planung digitaler Produkte

Kommentare: Wird zu stark gehypet.

Vorteile:

Der Drag and Drop-Editor und die Möglichkeit, die eigenen Entwürfe mit Kolleginnen und Kunden zu teilen, ist hervorragend. Die Nutzung von Vorlagen wie Apple UI Kits, sonstigen Mockups oder Fonts (z.B. via Icomoon) funktioniert nach etwas Übung einfach. Auch komplexere Projekte sind abbildbar. Und man benötigt keine Creative Suite, um Figma zu nutzen.

Nachteile:

Das Pricing ist intransparent: Beim Jahresabo von Figma kommt noch ein Monatsabo von FigJam dazu. Leider lassen sich Screens nicht so einfach duplizieren und ausrichten, wie ich das in Adobe XD gewohnt war. Letzteres bleibt mein Website-Layout-Tool N°1.

Best prototyping tool!

Kommentare: An external designer introduced the tool to us. We quickly adopted it for our own website/app development now use it for practically every design change.

Vorteile:

It's a powerful prototyping tool, helping everyone in the team to follow (website) development

Nachteile:

Sometimes we experience sync issues, but nothing serious. Overall a very good user experience.

Has almost fully replaced Photoshop in my workflow

Kommentare: Overall I have been very pleased and have shifted the majority of my design work into the tool

Vorteile:

I find the tools very intuitive and for a web design or app design it just works

Nachteile:

You have to have all of your graphic assets ready. For example if you are doing more than just basic photo editing, you still need a tool like photoshop.

Figma found lacking

Kommentare: It was ok to use id recommend it for beginners but pros wouldnt appreciate it.

Vorteile:

UI was easy to navigate without tutorials.

Nachteile:

It lacks many features and limted brushes.

Figma, one of the most incredible tools for creating functional and realistic prototypes.

Kommentare: Figma is highly intuitive, and we don't need to be professionals in the design field to create functional prototypes, all we need is time to learn the most important aspects of prototyping and it is guaranteed that each project will be better and with a professional result.
We can execute our designs and make them look like a functional application, and after approval, we can give it to our development team for implementation.

Vorteile:

Figma is one of the most popular and powerful tools when we need to develop functional prototypes to demonstrate an idea, especially when we are going to show, for example, the design of a web application or mobile APP. Figma developments are highly interactive and can be presented in any format, whether for a mobile device, a tablet or a laptop, and we can even customize the resolution for almost any resolution.

Nachteile:

Figma has its own file format described with the .fig extension, so there are not many import options from other formats such as .xd, which can be a bit tedious if we come from other applications and want to bring all our projects to Figma. However, once this challenge is overcome, we can create designs either with the standalone application or by using figma from a browser, with similar functionality.

Great for remote work

Vorteile:

Great for remote work, both people can work on the same file at once

Nachteile:

There are a few hiccups or bugs you come across, usually small stuff

I am building better prototypes with Figma.

Kommentare: Figma made real time collaboration, a strong aspect of my day to day design/ prototyping experience.
Figma has made feedback collection during design sessions a lot easier.

Vorteile:

Figma is browser based and this enables me to have quicker access to it from any computer device, than I would if I need to first install it on a desktop. I like the collection of widgets and plugins I have access to , as a user of Figma. These plugins enable me automate critical areas of my design workflow and collaborate better with teammates for effective design execution.

Nachteile:

Honestly, I am completely satisfied with the value that Figma provides me. As far as I am concerned, it is by far my favorite user interface and prototyping tool.

Figma: Design Tool Success

Kommentare: My experience with Figma has been a clear success overall. It is a great tool for beginners and seasoned vets with an ever-growing arsenal of resources at your fingertips.

Vorteile:

I love the seemingly endless features that Figma offers. Working in real-time with team members in Live Collaboration is beyond priceless, especially when you are on the go as Figma allows you to open it on any device. Nothing compares to the resources offered. It is almost a perfect platform in that regard.

Nachteile:

Like any design tool, it takes time to fully comprehend the features Figma offers. This is remedied with clear how-to videos and articles. The ease of use is on par with other design tools and nothing extra-new.

Figma: A Powerful Tool for Collaborative Design

Kommentare: Overall, my experience with Figma has been very positive. It has become an essential tool in my design process, especially due to its collaborative features. It allows me to easily share designs with stakeholders, get feedback in real-time, and make changes on the fly. While there are a few minor drawbacks, the pros far outweigh them, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an efficient and collaborative design tool.

Vorteile:

What I liked most about Figma is its ability to facilitate seamless collaboration in real-time. The fact that multiple team members can work on a design simultaneously is a game-changer, especially for remote teams.

Nachteile:

What I liked least about Figma is its performance when dealing with very large files or complex designs. While the tool is generally fast, I’ve noticed a lag when working on files with lots of components or complex animations.

A nice add-on to an existing Adobe subscription for Graphic Design

Vorteile:

It's collaborative capabilities and simplified UI.

Nachteile:

Imagery and exporting limitations, would be nice to have more options.

Powerful Design Tool with Minor Drawbacks

Vorteile:

real-time collaboration, cloud-based access and versatility

Nachteile:

Occasional lag, limited offline access and pricing

My favorite UI designing tool

Kommentare: I am big fan of Figma it's really pretty cool. I am really impressed to use figma because it's just small application but it's have lot of feature very good interface, very easy to run my prototype, very easy to import my designed screens, can able to convert my design to React native, HTML and CSS Code it's really cool thing. I don't know the specific reason to like figma but I like more.

Vorteile:

Figam is one of the UI/UX Designing tool. It's really very simple and attractive interface. Number of tools is very less but you can able to design able to all things it's really cool thing. One more thing you don't need to install the software you just open your web browser and type Figam easy use it. Here lot of Plugins available for icons, Tables, chat, and more.

Nachteile:

No Drawbacks have in Figam it's completely perfect.

Not good for companies

Kommentare: My developers loved it, but I hated it.
I share the concerns raised about Figma's user management and billing system. My experience has been frustrating, marked by unexpected charges due to the automatic upgrade of viewer accounts to full memberships without explicit consent. This lack of transparent control and oversight in billing has not only led to financial strains but also raised serious questions about Figma's suitability for businesses requiring stringent compliance and security protocols. Unfortunately, Figma’s current system appears to lack the necessary safeguards for business owners to manage their accounts effectively and economically

Vorteile:

I have to admit I am impressed with the tools themselves, easy to follow

Nachteile:

As a business owner utilizing Figma for our design and prototyping needs, I feel compelled to voice significant concerns regarding its billing and user management systems. Figma offers a suite of powerful tools for design mockups, but it falls short in areas crucial to business operations—particularly in terms of compliance and security. In my own experience with Figma, I've encountered serious issues where the system automatically upgraded viewer accounts to full memberships without my consent or awareness. This led to unexpected and substantial charges, a problem that became apparent only upon a detailed audit of our accounts. The lack of clear notifications and approval mechanisms for such critical changes is a significant oversight. In a busy business environment where oversight of multiple systems is a common challenge, such lapses in user management can easily go unnoticed. More critically, this flaw in Figma’s system isn't merely a financial risk; it's a breach of basic compliance protocols that businesses strictly adhere to. The ease with which employees can unintentionally escalate costs by sharing projects outside the organization poses a direct threat to operational security and budget management. This oversight indicates a gap in Figma's understanding of the nuanced needs of business operations, especially in terms of administrative control and security protocols. Therefore, I urge fellow business leaders and decision-makers to exercise caution with Figma. It’s vital to vigilantly monitor your account settings and billing to mitigate these risks. The current state of Figma’s system underscores a crucial demand for tools that prioritize not just functionality but also align with stringent business practices and security measures. In light of these shortcomings, I am considering the development of an alternative platform that foregrounds these business essentials. This potential solution would offer robust control over user permissions and financial implications, addressing a critical market need for business-centric design tools. Until Figma addresses these shortcomings, businesses must recognize and navigate these risks actively. This is a call to Figma and other software providers: align your services with the stringent requirements of the business community. Only through such alignment can digital tools genuinely serve and support the diverse needs of the professional world.

Great tool for the quick creation of designs and concepts

Vorteile:

Easy to create relatively high fidelity designs Useful for collaboration - easy to share feedback, add comments and export designs

Nachteile:

Interactive capabilities limit it's use for complex prototyping

Best UX Designer Tool

Vorteile:

Figma is best web based UX design tool. It allows my team collaborative works on one design . It provides powerful tool vector editing which is essential for our project. It's ese to use and easy to integrate with JIRA. We used this for all UX design for our web application.

Nachteile:

Slower internet speed cause the performance issue(takes time to load design) .

Figma is really good for Programmers and UI/UX Designer

Kommentare: Figma is really good for Programmers and UI/UX Designer. I work too many websites that design created by UI UX Designer.

Vorteile:

Figma is a good collaborative tool for UI/UX Design.

Nachteile:

Figma can not create for responsive prototype and does not have breakpoints for components.

Figma is flexible for cross platform

Kommentare: I have 3 years experience with Figma as UI UX Designer

Vorteile:

Figma is flexible for teams working cross platform such as windows, linux and mac.

Nachteile:

Figma have performance issue for complex and large file.

Using Figma as a Student

Kommentare: My overall experience of Figma is good. While I use other tools to supplement the areas Figma is missing, I would not consider replacing it. I use Figma boards for creating site maps and user flows and I use the regular side of Figma for creating design systems, and the digital project itself.

Vorteile:

I love that a majority of Figma is easy to use and most tools are where I would expect them to be. Figma is very versatile and I use it daily.

Nachteile:

Search features and the ability to keep an organized workspace would be nice to have

Figma helps validate things before burning money developing

Vorteile:

I love the ability to mock-up prototypes and be able to display and get these live in front of people and share externally to watch how users click and see quickly and test the value of these actual ideas without having to spend to actually develop it.

Nachteile:

Nothing I really dislike, it has a LOT of functionality that sometimes can be overwhelming but overall that's probably more of a positive than a negative.

Good tool for design

Kommentare: Overall good and pretty easy to work with

Vorteile:

It's very complete, allow for quick prototyping of design and brainstorming with various members. It as good tool to help devs apply that design and understand the fundamentals of it.

Nachteile:

Sometimes slow to load, the developer page offer very basic css to copy paste but that only work with very few framework. It could expand on the code side of thing like generating palette and/or theme for some popular framework and use those in the code snippet.

Useful tool to collaborate with others on designs

Vorteile:

Good way for the design team to collaborate with others on designs and have everything in one place. Once people on the team get the hang of it, they can use it to make edits, leave comments, code based on the designs and more. You can also save previous versions of a design on the same file to have an archive for later reference.

Nachteile:

You have to switch to the desktop version to edit some text because certain fonts are not available on the web version. It'd be helpful if there are horizontal tabs or some other UX to have the option to quickly navigate to and show just one design within a file, instead of having to scroll up and down and left to right to find it and seeing all the designs beside each other. It'd be useful to have smart features like being able to add a guideline on a design that stops elements from being able to be moved beyond that point. Much easier to follow than strictly visual guidelines.

Exceptional Design and Collaboration Tool

Vorteile:

Real-time collaboration Strong prototyping features Reusable components Many plugins available

Nachteile:

Occasional performance lag Limited offline use Costly for large teams

Figma is a beginner friendly prototyping app!

Kommentare: I enjoyed customizing my prototype it made me feel as if the app I had in mind is already functional and ready to use any time even if it was just an idea that turned into a reality virtually. I like how prototyping can make it possible for you to see how the app you designed would work when it is already done.

Vorteile:

I really like how easy it is to navigate when you literally have no idea how to do a prototype. As someone who used Figma for the very first time, I like how most of the features are not confusing at all and are just straight to the point. I really like how you can simply customize right away with all the given samples and elements.

Nachteile:

There are features that are way too advanced that did confuse me a little bit and I got so intimidated that I decided to skip that part no matter how it would make my prototype way better than it already was. Maybe, it would be nice to have a short clip of a tutorial or a preview as to what will happen when choosing certain options.
