Axure review 2022
Nice tool for creating responsive apps and is very easy to use, suitable for medium and large enterprises. Highly recommend it
PROSBest 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.
CONSPricing 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.

One of the strongest tool for dynamic prototyping
One tool for all your prototyping need, be it animation or a simple drop down.
PROSThese 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.
CONSNo mobile support yet, considering the complexity and logic it lets you handle not sure how possible is the mobile version.

Good Until It's Not
I use it daily. Mostly it works well. But when it doesn't, don't expect CS to help.
PROSVery flexible for diverse concepts.
CONSNot well tested prior to release. Tends to get buggy as the page gets more complex.
Reason for choosing Axure
Axure offers the best flexibility. Also, team support was critical.

A great interactive prototyping tool for developers or designers with graphic design software exp.
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.
CONSIt 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.

I've been using Axure for creating high fidelity prototypes for 2+ years.
I'm able to visualize my ideas to my team. It's a crucial step in our design process.
PROSI 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.
CONSI 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.

Great for UX Prototypes, but has a huge learning curve.
Axure is a love and hate relationship. It has a steep learning curve at the beginning, but once you are above the learning curve, it gets better and better. The functionality built in the software is awesome and you can literally make an exact experience as if you were coding. Use of libraries and other features can help you get started with basic set of tools and help you speed up your workflow.
CONSThe learning curve is steep and a challenge. You question yourself on why you are putting yourself through the learning when there are easier options available. Axure also allows you to do a lot more than other options, and if you are looking for the perfect prototype, you can spend hours figuring things out on axure needlessly.

Good tool for creating mock up for complex application
We are reducing the business and development conflicts by generating the mock ups.
PROSThe tool comes with a lot of standard function which is used day to day basis for designer and developers for different application development practice. Learning curve is less compered to it's competitors. You can publish your design and allow user to review and share your feedback. You can also take the output in to your local folders and share with developers so that they can refer as the base of the design and development. The out of box copy feature allows a lot of style and content copying which saves a lot of time.
CONSThe default graphic set is not vast so you might have to rely on some external graphics. Many of the common graphic components are missing, I hope they add quickly

The application is to my liking I met it 1 month ago due to the matter Information System.
The main benefit of the application is that it allowed us to make prototypes allowing the progress and correction of the project without the need for a complete development
PROSI consider Axure as a very complete tool and at the same time, easy to use, during its trial period we use it (my classmates and me) as a tool to design basic prototypes and some more advanced in the matter. Information system 1 belonging to the degree in Computer Science without the need to program the entire system, another of the advantages of the software is its functionality in any browser because it is HTM and allows you to upload the prototype to a server to send it to the rest of the team. In addition you can find on the internet various libraries, modules, icons and other design elements that can contribute many to the project as well as an extensive amount of tutorials on how to use and exploit the tool in our favor.
CONSAs for the tool itself, we do not find great criticism beyond its high cost for developers and students in Venezuela who lose the opportunity to use this tool.

Good for creating layout
I have used this software for designing of application first. Initially i faced some issues then after i was used to of this software.
PROSWe use this software initially so that Client can experience the application. It has all the fields like label text view, scrolling it is designed so that theme and basic idea of the application cleared to the client or developer. We can create while application flow with the help of software. If Client does not like the design it is very good to update and again show to the client. It also gives facility to click and navigate to another screen or we can start from login to logout. It is good for designing before actual start of the development. It is simple drag and drop software.
CONSScrolling creates problem in beginning. Adding action also tricky this helps in navigation. Change color and style of font is sometimes difficult to find.

Robust UX Software
What can I say that others already haven't about Axure. This tool is deep and complex and full featured. I use Axure for any and all of my wireframes and fuctionality prototypes. It provides the flexibility to do almost anything you can think of while still maintaining and easy to use interface.
CONSThe only thing I would say is that the learning curve on this can be a bit steep but that is to be expected on a tool as robust as Axure.

The best prototyping tool
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.
PROSIt 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.
CONSWorks slowly with large files, freezes often, the back-ups aren't 100% accurate sometimes.

It is the best software out there to create high fidelity prototypes.
Getting feedback from clients and users quickly.
PROSYou can create prototypes almost identical as the final product. What I like the most about this software is that you can get feedback from users and clients quickly.
CONSIt takes a lot of time to be a pro using this software but once you learn how to use it you can create prototypes quickly. Also, sometimes it can be frustrating the way some of the simple interactions have to be built to work as the user expect.

Axure is more likely to work if you are working in a robust environment. The best feature about axure is its ability to be shared with a click. so sharing is not that redundant. It allows us to test things before they are incorporated int he final product.
PROSAxure is a sweet spot between a prototype and a working product. sharing is easy.
CONSThe learning curve is very bizzare, you need to have extensive knowledge before using this product.

Very proprietary look and feel.
Interactive prototypes rather than plain jpg mockups.
PROSI like being able to create interactive prototypes, not just simple mockups. Letting stakeholders click through to see the navigation and flow of an application is infinitely more valuable than static images.
CONSSeemed like a steep learning curve. It was a bit more complex than I would have liked. Balsamiq proved much easier to pick up on the fly.

Axure RP is good software to create modern prototypes.
Application that I have used for the creation of prototypes of applications and websites and mobile. I like the interface, the colors, the components and the easy handling. I do not like that you have to buy many components to design simple applications, and the license also has a high cost.
PROSIts quality is incomparable, the elements are very well defined in the interface. The use and management of it is easy and intuitive, also the components available.
CONSCreating prototypes is easy, it is difficult to show them because there are browsers that do not support their features.

Axure is the best prototyping tool for creating high fidelity prototypes for Web / Mobile App
Axure is easy to use application with great working area and tools. I really like the way one can use its features like dynamic panels, variables etc and create near to actual application prototypes. If you really use Axure to its highest potentials, it provides readymade libraries to make prototyping easy, creative and fun. I love the way one can share prototypes online via axshare & also capture feedback in real time, collaborate with all stakeholders and finalize the prototype. I highly recommend Axure over any other prototyping tool.
CONSone of the output of prototype is HTML, & it is not useable, I just wish if some upgrade can be done to generate HTML of the high-fidelity wireframes, which eventually can be used in real application & time for frontend slicing can be saved.

Incredible prototype design tool
It is a great tool to create prototypes. Along with the ability to download and use widgets libraries (drag and drop precompiled components) you can quickly build eye-catching prototypes.
CONSDynamic panels are very complicated to edit when you have many and even more if you need to hide them to give a specific order. Once you have many pages, a change of color scheme is not a simple CSS edition, there are hundreds of small changes made with the format bar.

It is a very good tool to create wireframes and prototypes.
Help friends and colleagues to make web prototypes.
PROSIt allows you to create web prototypes professionally and best of all, they work on any computer and the prototypes can be very similar to the final product.
CONSIt has a very high price and if using it for the first time you do not have previous experience it can seem very complex.
