One of the best options for building complex, working prototypes.

Amazing prototyping possibilities but at a great time cost.

Axure is a very powerful tool, it has tons of options and for UX prototyping is - in my opinion as a beginner and learner - on top and one of the best (comparing to UX Pin f.e.).

Best tool for creative wireframes which supports many integrations like Jira & Slack.

Change color and style of font is sometimes difficult to find.

Ease of use, prebuilt functions, third party libraries, the online axure iser community. Someone is always able answer questions.

The way Axure allows the user to simulate how the application will be running is awesome and helps a lot when presenting a product to the client.

However Axure has lost totally its market appeal.

I like mostly its overall quality and functionality , it has very wide range of possibilities and you can create whatever you want.

A very easy and simple tool to use. On the other hand, a powerful and realistic sites.

Fantastic for wire framing and producing application prototypes. Easy to collaborate with a team and gather feedback.

The user interface is very hard to use and there is a big learning curve. The interface itself feels a bit outdated, and the light theme and grey tones makes it difficult to look at.

We are reducing the business and development conflicts by generating the mock ups.

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.

No mobile support yet, considering the complexity and logic it lets you handle not sure how possible is the ​mobile version.

Best wireframe scribbling, easy and very complex prototyping. Amazing for client workshops.

Love it, have been using it for years and have introduced so many people to it.

There are a ton of fancy features that justify the cost, but, like me, you might find that more a sign of bloat more than benefit.

I also really enjoy collaboration tool which helps a few people to work in the same project effortlessly.

The software allows you to create fantastic prototypes with variables and detailed interactions. Amazing online sharing included.

It's got good online support in forums and training videos and the price was much better than other tools I tried (like iRise).

The tool is very beginner-friendly  with a good customer support service.

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.

My experience had been awesome when using it. Excellent UI intuitive and easy to use.

There is not a substitute out there (everything else just creates hotspots and links). The support team and training materials are also awesome.

Too hard to get started. Because of the large feature set, requires extensive training to onboard.

One tool for all your prototyping​ need, be it animation or a simple drop down.

Axure is very complex and has quite the learning curve. Accidents in development can occur and can be hard to undo or redo if a misstep is taken.

No matter how complex it can be, starting of with a template and improving it was easy, fun and just worked.

It is one of the best tools that allow you to design the pages of the website you would like to build and help the frontend developer to get the requirments needed to build the webpage.

We were long-time Sketch + Abstract users, and we were annoyed by how slow Abstract is.

Endless plugins in the community section plus the amazing integrations with project management platforms and with tools used by the developers. So Figma makes their lives easier.

They Figma community is great. I would say, my work speed has increased 10 folds after shifting to Figma from the previosu software.

Some minor features are missing, for example to extract a screen with the frames, but I think it will be implemented in the future.

Because I have designed watch screen, clocks and pie charts with the Arc tool of this outstanding platform. I am really satisfied with Figma and I really love this unique design tool.

Only one feature that I'm missing is to replace an instance of component for any other component.

It is fun to use and results are stunning and immediately useable by our production teams.

This have been so helpful and users have been very collaborative in building plugins and helping Figma to expand it's boundaries.

The ability to create beautiful designs, slide decks for customers/investors, and clickable prototypes is second to none. You can tell Figma is at the top of their game in the aforementioned areas.

The ability to easily share assets across the team is great, too, and it's nice to have a OS agnostic piece of software unlike Sketch.

Lightweight interface, nice integration with existing login APIs. There's also some nice tutorials for beginners as well.

As a student, I got to  use Figma for free and it works just well as Adobe XD for way less money and effective results.

Overall i could say that i really like it over other options, easy to use, multiplatform and well known all over the design community.

Secondly, it is very easy to use most especially when it comes to UI/UX designs. Last but not least, it's community is equipped and the team work is seamless.

My only gripes with Figma has been the missing resources I get when previewing my projects sometimes.

Above all, the most amazing thing is that Figma is absolutely free to use and the business version is at a very reasonable price.

It consumes a lot of resources, in a big design document it does crash or slows down the whole system which can be quite painful at times.

Even free version is great to create UI mockups. Love creating components that contain several basic UI elements.

As somebody who deals with complex applications, the collaboration and design system capabilities Figma brings to the table is just awesome.

Even for non-designers it is a good way to create product and web designs. Impressed with the functional prototypes it creates and the ease of representation.

The community and the resources available are amazing and make designing even more fun. The plugins are the pinnacle for Figma and the capabilities are unlimited with them.

The components are awesome and being able to have your resources in a library across multiple projects is very useful.

All this with a price point of a fraction of what Adobe costs - I highly recommend this software.

Figma is great, I like it a lot because we can collaborate remotely with other teams.

There's more and more integrations with other softwares for prototyping, or to help integrations so Figma is the way to go now.

The web app does not work as fluid as the desktop one,  when on the go and not near your laptop or workspace it can be a bit annoying.

No add-ons or plugins is a bit of a downer here. The prototyping/ Interactions features are limited.

Helps the team stay super organized, love the real-time collaboration and being able to see one another's cursors.

The support database and forums have a lot of information, however, so this problem wasn't so hard.

User Friendly, Good combination of all necessary features.

Figma is an awesome tool- easy to use and great for collaboration and sharing. It's very versatile for different types of design.

Overall it's a very useful tool, even as a free option. Paid subscription adds even more versatile features, like team collaboration, multiple projects etc.

Figma is the best design tool where you can create professional designs from scratch to the advanced level. The interface is really fast and powerful, that you can build designs within few minutes.
